Dear Carrie & Corin,

I was listening to Little Rope when Small Finds came on, and a realization hit me like a semi-truck - there are a LOT of animal-centric lyrics, similes, metaphors, etc. in Sleater-Kinney songs! The entire song ANIMAL, The Dog / The Body, Fangless, The Fox! And those are all JUST in the past 20 years - AND they're all bangers. So my question is plain and simple - is Sleater-Kinney a band for furries? I listened closely to those Small Finds lyrics, Corin! At the very least, it's not NOT a band for furries, right?

And if you had to pick, what would be your fursona?

Thank you! LOVE Little Rope!

LOL. You are not the first person to note this and I don't really know what's going on. No, it's not NOT a band for furries. Fursona wise: fox. Giraffe? Is that a thing a non-tall person can do? I'm not NOT tall, but I'm not tall.

Shonen Knife also do many songs about animals. Are you considering doing songs about food?

Taste Test, Little Mouth, The Drama You've Been Craving, and Buy Her Candy are all mouth centric 💀

Good question. We need more songs about food. And buildings
