Melissa Gira Grant: Porn was our punk. (beginning of something) →
Digital cameras our shitty hand me down guitars. Copying the conventions of amateur sites like three chord garage rock. We knew there was nothing original in the structure but our impulse was pure. We scraped the surface, made porn blurry and accountable and difficult. It was what we taught…

For years my track labels on You Forgot It In People were all messed up and one of the songs was Late Nineties Bedroom Rock for Missionary. Anyway that’s what this song makes me think of.

I uh, I knew I was in love, but, first of all I was very nauseous, you know, I never met such a pretty girl, and uh, I guess I’m sensitive, because real, real beauty makes me want to uh, gag. Plus, I don’t know how to act with girls, you know, I’m shy, I’m just nervous around women, I have a tendency to dribble.
You know, the only girl I’d known was a girl in my neighborhood, who was not an attractive girl, I used to, used to make obscene phone calls, collect, and she used to accept the charges all the time, and nothing ever happened.
And here I’m lying through my teeth, I mean, I can’t tell Louise that I was in jail, and that I rob and steal and never did an honest day’s work in my life because, you know, a lot of people hold those things against you. But she was so sweet, we just walked in the park you know, I was so touched by her that, I dunno, after fifteen minutes I wanted to marry her, and after half an hour I completely gave up the idea of stealing her purse. I wanted to tell her actually that I wasn’t with the philharmonic but she was so impressed by it. When she asked me some questions about Mozart she got suspicious ‘cause for a minute you know I couldn’t place the name.
I um, I dunno when it comes to women. In prison, I remember, the psychiatrist asked me if I had a girl, and I said no, and he said well, do I think that sex is dirty, and I said, it is if you’re doing it right.
Oh, all I know is, my heart was really pounding and I felt, I felt a funny tingling all over and you know I, I dunno I was either in love or, uh, I had smallpox.
