My pantheon smashes American haunt-my-soul-ed-ness, baptizing projections. The admin binder hasn’t been updated. His ghost in my dream says release me. & I release him & I am released. Our practice of rents dare class to elegantly an- nounce: my muscle & organ dance of poverty, decay, sex & death. It’s prior to rebirth. Word spread through zines. It’s a class issue to be whatever satiated is,

silence=death.

My breeches need to hear that you feel this problem in your body too. That you still hold my letter from 1984. double dare ya. I wanted to use materials that stunk. Things you never hated. It’s a carrier pigeon culture. I have an IV but you never saw it. I’m interested in the gaps. In not punking out. If you want to see, you must DIY - do it yrself. DIY & IV is the riot of a vibration that collaborates with Joan Jett to make the best fucking 7 inch you ever heard.

—Sara Larsen, from The Riot Grrrl Thing

Double Dare Ya | Mimya

The worst part about hangovers, Tanya knew, was the part when you looked back on your behavior the night before and felt it all come back in an embarrassing trip down memory lane. Not that Tanya had been properly hungover in twenty-two years, but the week after prom sure felt familiar in that way. 

Mostly, she remembered how much fun she’d been having. And how much it made her miss life. Dancing with Mim, screaming at the DJ, the euphoria of actually hearing Bikini Kill for the first time in years in a crowded room full of kids like her-- it was all too real. And with the reagents running through her, Mim had felt more alive than she ever had before.

Now, though, it was back to reality. And Tanya was embarrassed. Never again, she thought, back to her typical indifferent demeanor. She just had to make it through one more day of school, and then she was outta here. 

But when Tanya saw Mim walking up to her, it all came rushing back. Tanya made eye contact with her, and then quickly turned on her heel and walked in the other direction.

I finished my BIKINI KILL video.

double dare ya and liar by BIKINI KILL. Audio ripped from the BIKINI KILL EP 20th Anniversary reissue vinyl album.

Video collected from sundry video dumps, including some fun-to-watch live performance clips shot when they were very diy and snotty--like the music.
