I remember when i was small, my sisters were too fucking punk rock for life. In middle school it was a variety of so many types of music. Kroq would be all up on the stereo and cassette tapes were super cool. It was all Ball chains,black make up, Dr. Martins and BMG CD packets. And all these posters of rock n' roll heart throbs. I was reminded of this when i had a conversation with Rey about KITTIE. KITTIE, was this all girl metal/rock group, i even want to say punk because they were greater than any fucking riot grrrl i ever saw. Bikini Kill didn't have SHIT on KITTIE. I relistened to the SPIT album today. These womyn were fucking DOWN. I remember there was random switches of music like KITTIE, KORN, FOO FIGHTERS to Epitaph's Punkorama comps. And random Cd's full of like BLACK FLAG, SUCIDAL TENDENCIES, and Circle Jerks? In addition the awesome sounds of The Cranberries, Cardigans, and uhhhh OH i remember there was some Stone Temple Pilot's in there. Aha. I was in Elementary school, i liked the music. I remember you could do the horns with your hand and not look totally stupid. You could take out tounge, shake your head like crazy, and not look fucking retarted. My sisters lived an awesome life of music. I feel like they were so carefree about school because music totally had to come first. I appreciate that, HIGHLY. I can say music is waaaay important, totally gave my sisters, aswell as me, a space to express them selves. I remember they even used to carry Walk man's (Cassette Players), they soon progressed to CD players. They used to watch videos on TV, there was actually a good channel. We had no cable, just that good ol' channel with the Punk-O-Rama show case. I guess im writing this to remind myself that if i would have never seen my sisters grow up through what they did musically (which hit mentally allot) i wouldn't be this person. It seems like so long ago. And don't make me talk about the HARD HOUSE days. aha that's a totally different story. Stephanie and Candy Gutierrez, this post is for you. Thank you.
