Some heavy stuff's been going down on the blog recently inaugurated by the members of Deerhunter; a few silly posts on the band's digestive prowess, followed by one not-so-silly post featuring some rather explicit sexual exploration. And, now, an explanation of sorts. After receiving a number of responses to the band's blog update yesterday, frontman Bradford Cox removed the post and added this statement:

First of all, if you do not like what i'm about don't read this blog or buy our records or come see us play. If you think we are overhyped and shitty then find another band that strikes your fancy and go hang around their blog. I am not trying to shock anyone. To those who recognized it, yeah, Dennis Cooper is a huge influence on me since I was about 15. I highly recommend his blog (denniscooper-theweaklings.blogspot.com). Now onto something more serious... Don't even think about pulling this child pornography shit with me. I have not used a single image that did not come from a legitimate site that keeps age records. Child Pornography is fucked up, and as someone who was sexually abused since I was seven, I take it pretty seriously. I don't need thought police on here. You can eat the shit you'll be seeing photos and journal entries about in the next day. I can't help it that some of you think I am sick or fucked up or twisted. My job is to express myself how I best know how. Usually a mixture of sadness and humor. I was really writing about lonliness. I don't feel like I need to defend the fact that I am fucked up because I was fucked with and sexually abused at a VERY young age. At this point in my life I am a 25 year old virgin with a body image that decreases exponentially everytime some dipshit with a blog takes a jab at how ugly I look. I don't blame myself for my adolescent fantasies because I am still an adolescent, looking for someone to connect to, I guess. Sorry to get all serious but I don't need this shit from cunts that come here expecting "Shock and Awe". That's not what we are about. We are about honesty. Everyone shits. Honestly. And everyone has fucked up things they hide. I show mine with a sense of humor.

At least it makes me feel something for this band. Im not sure what the feeling is yet, but it isnt 'meh'

I guess I feel a little sad, but then my curiosity gets the best of me and I think: If the guy was molested, can he REALLY claim to be a virgin?

You fucking fuck.

I guess it depends upon the status of his hymen.

Judging from the article, I would argue: hymen fully intact (and ovaries fully functional)

Never heard of this band or this dude. I assumed that we were talking about the dude from West Wing.

I've known brad since 8th grade. There's a funny polaroid of us when we were 16 with Thurston Moore. Its somewhere in my parents house. I've been trying to find it for a while.

I guess he's gay now? When I was in college I'd come home and we'd hang out at shows and we'd go get high afterwards and he'd always have a team of hot hipster girls surrounding him.

i was at their NYC show two nights ago, and it was pretty good. however, after the band played their encore, a bunch of folks decided to just stick around and try to get them to come out again. What this ended up turning into is Bradfrod coming out, alone, sitting on a chair and having a self help session with the crowd. I was sitting downstairs getting drunk at the bar instead, as I wasn't much feeling that. What takes the cake, however, is after about 20 minutes of this (at least), with the bartenders talking about what an ass he was making out of himself, Nick Zinner comes down to the merch booth to plead with his manager to pull the plug, as Bradford was really embarrassing himself.

As for his being gay, I've seen him mention it in several interviews, and there is at least a little documentation: I take it some of you have seen (or at least heard about) the photo of him getting a bro-job during their set at their last NYC show in Brooklyn? It exists, it happened, I can prolly dig it up if necessary.
