You started.

Yeah, he seems to have hidden his inner little bitch well. Some of his letters are ridiculously cringey.

That's cool.
Sorry for busting your ass a bit, it's just bants.
Genuinely hope you'll figure your **** out.
As much as once can figure one's **** out in this absurd world of ours.

I think elph is just desperately clinging to punk/post-punk doctrine about how anyone can make music. Like, no, dude. You need someone with artistic instinct or else you just have some guy's mixtape who hassled you in a 7-Eleven parking lot.

[The Batlord]

It'll probably be just some guy without any imagination doing just another bad impression of Wakka Flocka Flame and don't pretend like you'd be the least bit excited by a mixtape you got from some random ******* at a 7-11.

P Orridge says there's no such thing as "the musician" there's only sounds and some will appeal to you and others won't just like anything else

She’s extraordinarily talented btw

You'd feel put upon and you know it.

P-Orridge prefers genderless pronouns, usually first person plural, but is O.K. with female pronouns. Her life, she said, was an experiment that was still playing out.

I had a friend who’s a very longtime fan recently tell me it’s “she” and “her” but idk if that’s the most current or what honestly

[The Batlord]

It does make you feel like a snowflake to say "they" or "them" or "their" but honestly it's not that hard when you're thinking about it.

[OccultHawk]

Well I might call juggling a skill

Making me care about your juggling is the talent but yeah ok pretty much the same page

You ain’t lecturing me on punk and post punk and noise though son

You can leave that **** right at the door

^ Did the NYT make a mistake, or does P-Orridge really talk like the Queen, "We are the godperson of industrial music."

^ In fact that would be a variation -or new application- of something we do already:- "Someone left their cellphone on their desk. If they don't come back for it, I'll have to find them."
