THE BASTARD FAIRIES PROVE IT'S STILL POSSIBLE TO GET MORE THAN WHAT YOU PAY FOR
>
War is bad and love is really good
Taking a stand starts in your neighborhood
Over 2 million people have heard the Bastard Fairies-- many without realizing they were hearing a band and watching accomplished filmmakers. And what's especially bizarre about that, is that the wildly popular YouTube video so many people saw was extremely polarizing-- with wingnuts starting a letter-writing campaign to take the singer's child away and with normal Americans absolutely falling in love. I'm talking about The Coolest 8 Year Old In The World Talks About O'Reilly.
The video drove reactionary kulture warrior O'Reilly bonkers and he invited Wendy Murphy, a child advocate, to come on his Fox-"News" show to help him slam it, calling it "an ultimate inhuman treatment of a child." O'Reilly claimed the little girl, who is obviously-- though not to him-- a talented actress, is "being raised by nuts" who are "abusing her emotionally."
The Bastard Fairies-- U.K. instrumentalist Robin Davey and Sioux princess/singer, Yellow Thunder Woman-- have recently completed their debut album, Memento Mori. They promptly offered their 12 tracks for free online. Over 50,000 full albums and another 200,000 tracks have been downloaded at their website-- all for free. They've also released a 2-disc hard copy, with 5 extra songs and a DVD that just shipped to stores.
The duo's bio is intriguing and their music is compelling. You're not likely to hear them on the radio-- not yet at least-- but songs like "Whatever", "A Venomous Tale" and "We're All Going To Hell" sound more like hits, in a lo-fi pop kind of way, than most of what I hear when I pass a radio. Not just more like hits, but more original, more interesting and more worth listening to more than once. The melodies are as sweet and disarming as the lyrics are unabashedly incisive, in a hi-art kind of way. May I suggest we all now take a listen to Whatever.
Labels: Bastard Fairies, O'Reilly

Yellow Thunder Woman is a misogynist asshole of the most unconscionable order. But don't take my word for it. Take hers!
Here's a sample of quotes from interviews with her:
http://playboy.com/arts-entertainment/wov/yellow-thunder-woman/yellow-thunder-woman-1.html
"I think girls just need to fuck guys a little bit more, and the world would be a lot more peaceful."
"I don't really like women that much. I don't have any female friends at all. I just have a bunch of guy friends. And I've probably fucked all of them."
http://www.wickedinfo.com/content/view/58/1/
"The world would be a far better place if women just relaxed and loved men for the fact that most of the time they just want to fuck. The mind is filled with so many natural drugs like testosterone and endorphins that should be embraced and understood. I hate it when women get upset because men aren't just like them, I say hey bitch you don’t like it why not become a fucking lesbian. I like men just the way they are."

"The world is pretty boring at the moment, that’s probably it. I think we need more wars and shit. I just need something to write about for fuck’s sake. I’m a writer, I love chaos."
"Hollywood is pretty fucking clean, though. It’s a little bit too clean, I need more whores and prostitutes, pimps, in order to be satisfied."
Add to these numerous examples the fact that The Batard Fairies songs include these lyrics:
http://www.lyricsmania.com/lyrics/bastard_fairies_the_lyrics_11454/memento_mori_lyrics_36021/ode_to_the_prostitute_lyrics_390757.html
'ODE TO THE PROSTITUTE'
Tell me if you want it, if the price is right then I'm here
Come on over here and baby we can cut a deal
Billy I know that you want it, Jimmy I know that you want it, Tommy I know that you want it
Baby I know that you want it
Standing on a corner and I'm gonna give you what you need
Tell me what you want 'cause baby I'm here to please
I don't want you for your love, You don't want to cook me dinner
50 bucks to kiss on the lips, 25 an hour, suck my.."
They also have a song called 'Whatever,' as in "Whatever it takes to get a man in bed I'll do."
You may be thinking, "They can't be serious! This has to be done in jest! Surely they are simply saying these things to get publicity?!"
NO! They are serious assholes who propagate the belief that men are nothing but idiotic walking penises and women should be submissive sex slaves.
So, to recap, Yellow Thunder Woman openly suggests that:
- Female modesty/chastity is the cause of war
- Prostitution is a good thing for everyone
- War is desirable
Is this REALLY who you want to be advocating for, DWT?
Perhaps you should reconsider.
Wow, feel better now anon? Funny how people like you who blather about stuff like this MISS THE POINT:
If people would stop taking shit so seriously, maybe things wouldn't be so fucked up.
Conventional women are raised to think sex is dirty, and conventional men are raised to think sex is a competition. And you say Yellow Thunder Woman has a problem?
It amazes me to see what depths of depravity some people see into the arts. Now, go eat your chocolate Jesus.
hmmm, maybe you are taking things a little too literally and seriously anon. let's look at the quotes:
"I think girls just need to fuck guys a little bit more, and the world would be a lot more peaceful."
- sounds a lot like "make love, not war" just a bit more provocative. you know, sometimes artists are provocative on purpose
"I don't really like women that much. I don't have any female friends at all. I just have a bunch of guy friends. And I've probably fucked all of them." - so she doesn't like women as friends, what is wrong with that? and she's up front about sleeping with her male friends. she's not advocating it, just telling the truth
"The world would be a far better place if women just relaxed and loved men for the fact that most of the time they just want to fuck. The mind is filled with so many natural drugs like testosterone and endorphins that should be embraced and understood. I hate it when women get upset because men aren't just like them, I say hey bitch you don’t like it why not become a fucking lesbian. I like men just the way they are." - i can see how this would be offensive and come off as misogynist. but really she's saying that men are different than women and women should just accept that. most intelligent men have already figured out that there is little point in trying to change women, so maybe women should do the same for men.
"The world is pretty boring at the moment, that’s probably it. I think we need more wars and shit. I just need something to write about for fuck’s sake. I’m a writer, I love chaos." - she is far from the first singer/writer/comic to say this. perhaps she forgot to add the qualifier, "this probably sounds bad, but..."
"Hollywood is pretty fucking clean, though. It’s a little bit too clean, I need more whores and prostitutes, pimps, in order to be satisfied." - once again being provocative on purpose. hollywood doesn't truly reflect society, there's a shocker.
I'm taking her quotes "too literally"?
She openly and more than once blames chaste women for war.
Are you blind or do you simply lack reading comprehension?
My guess?
You are a male.
Care to divulge?
More to the point...
Others are not as blind as you are/pretend to be.
They can read her interviews and draw the same logical conclusion I do:
She more than once publicly blames women for war for not fucking every man they know (the way she claims to).
She has no shame.
Neither do you.
It's obvious.
Yellow Thunder Woman rules. Shes totally right, and all you haters are just jealous cause she hasnt fucked YOU yet.
Girl power!
Anonymous totally cant read between the lines.
To Anon: They like to push buttons to get their name out. Why do you think they did the video of “The Coolest 8 Year Old In The World Talks About O'Reilly?” Over 2 million people viewed that video and were exposed to ‘The Bastard Fairies.’ Yes, it pissed some off but it got the attention of others that might not have ever heard of them. If she just made boring statements in these articles, most people would just glance over them and not think twice about it. Instead, statements like the ones you posted are catching people’s eye and they’re checking ‘The Bastard Fairies’ out. They’re artists who want their work to be heard. They don’t have a big record label, MTV, or mainstream radio pushing their music so they’re using the resources they do have to get the attention of potential fans. Think about it.
As Bugboy said “If people would stop taking shit so seriously, maybe things wouldn't be so fucked up.”
