society would crumble and fall apart.
joey gray "how do you fuck a boy (without a pussy)?"
if you asked me what the message of this song is, i'd be lying if i said i knew. but i do think there is a dearth of of "gay" music out there in the world at large. and i mean gay in the homosexual sense. homosexual in that it's about having sex with men. but beyond the obvious kitsch and humor factor of the title, this is just a mesmerizing song. in another time and less homophobic place, i could hear this coming from the radio easily. who is joey gray? i'll be honest i have no idea, this is one of those tracks that i downloaded from somewhere and didn't find until years later when i forgot where it came from. but he sounds like sparklehorse or eels have been studying at the "i'm a slave 4 u" school of moaning, and when it blooms into its surprisingly floaty chorus, it makes you raise your eyebrow and press repeat, repeat, repeat.
