if that's the way that you feel, then that's the way that you feel

A Kills!spam because...just because. It's short though, I promise! :)

Are...are those matching jackets? I think they are. Also, Alison should wear her hair up more often.






WHAT? I don't even know.








...You can never have too much guitar!sex.



Before I start involving Kate Moss in this, can we talk about this quote from an interview in 2005? I'm pretty sure it's the most they've ever talked about the onstage dynamic between them, and it's so interesting.

JAMIE: This tour, more than any tour before, people are just coming up because they're fans. Whereas before that, you had people who talked about how someone had namedropped us, or about how there was this sexual chemistry thing. They'd say, IT WAS LIKE FUCKING ON STAGE!
INTERVIEWER: Can you deny that though? Because it IS like fucking on stage! It's the most fucking I've ever seen on stage in my life!
JAMIE: (chuckling)
INTERVIEWER: WHAT? You're laughing now, but—
ALISON: I can't deny it, because that's what people see. But you know, that's the beauty of performance, that's the beauty of being on stage and feeling free to do whatever you want. The stage is the fucking line. That's your space, and all those people on the other side are, well...it's you against them. And they're thinking what they want to think.
INTERVIEWER: Can you honestly say that you didn't expect that reaction when you were writing and rehearsing these songs?
JAMIE: Yes, I can honestly say that.
ALISON: Look, we don't know what we're like, to other people. We write everything, and it's just the two of us, in a room. We play it on the stage like it's just the two of us in that room. We don't even look at anybody. We never knew, for a really long time, what people were thinking. I don't think you can plan on that stuff. You can't just decide to be that way. On stage, I can't control any of it.
INTERVIEWER: So what's going through your heads, when you're up there, fucking on stage—haha, okay, as people see it. What are you experiencing?
ALISON: It's like daydreaming.
JAMIE: I've already cut off the rest of the world, really. We spend 24 hours a day together. We work together, we live together, we socialize together. And everything, to me, that one hour of being on stage, is just a build-up to that. We just try to get lost in it. We really don't even know what we're doing. I don't build any sort of sexual thing. For people watching it, well, if that's what they get then that's what they get. It's definitely not going through my head. I'd love to be able to, some days, to just go off the stage and just walk all over everybody and just beat a couple of people with a guitar, but I don't do that, so it just comes out in weird ways.

I find it so fascinating that they just...don't see it as sexual. I mean, I like to see it as sexual, I like my theory of a build-up of sexual tension and the stage being the only place they can safely let it out without hurting their relationship. But I like that they see it as more than that, that Jamie apparently puts some violence into it, that it's just an explosion of feeling for each other, that they get lost in. That's so powerful. Gahhh. I really want to know how it was when that first happened. And why they kept doing it. It's so interesting.

But anyway, Kate Moss.


I still want Alison/Kate.


Just saying.


Kate wearing Alison's shirt. They share clothes, you guys!


NEW FAVOURITE PICTURE.

I still have no idea if Kate's involvement interests anyone but me. I had a giant crush on her when I was like 13 and I guess my interest in her has kind of stuck. Also, femslash is awesome??

I kind of still do, too. She's just...really sort of effortlessly awesome. The same way Alison is, really. And her involvement is so interesting. The only way I can make sense of the three of them actually genuinely getting along all the time is by deciding she's sleeping with both of them. ;)
