“ There’s a weird squeamishness about blatantly sexual women in the indie rock world…everyone’s dream girls are these birdlike little creatures whose bodies disappear into their cool vintage outfits, who are calm and inscrutable and spend their time sewing felt owls onto their bags or reading n+1 instead of indulging their vanity or dancing or screaming into a microphone about guys who fucked them over.
