any xiu xiu fans? eating disorder music related.
I work at a really great venue in my city that puts on some really cool bands. A while ago they put on a xiu xiu show, and I was just wondering if there were any people who've listened to the band and their lyrics?
The girl in the band grew up with alot of people who had bulimia, and in her blog she mentions that she sees bulimia (even though she doesn't have it herself) to be one of the most horrific forms of self destruction.
I bought their newest record called 'dear god I hate myself' and they have this song with lyrics that everyone on here would relate to if you haven't hear it already;
"chocolate makes you happy, and it keeps you awake, as you unbutton your top pants button, bewildered by the pain..."

alot of people hate this new album by xiu xiu; but for me it's their best because alot of it is bulimia related. I also love the track 'dear god i hate myself"

The girl from the band has recorded a video of herself purging which was on their blog; this video has cause loads of controversy. Like; she's not bulimic, but she wanted to kind of understand what is was like. It's really quite hard to watch. Has anyone else seen this?
