Tegan is sooo punk, but Sara is a fucking poser.

teambluegrass (July 21, 2007)

at least have the balls to register before talking smack lame!

Someone (July 22, 2007)

shut up gaymo

Someone (July 24, 2007)

Ok so right....Tegan and Sara are beyond brilliant in their songwriting and lyrical composure as true musicians, and as I am sure most of you are looking for harsh and unruly low-end music....I suggest you not bother tuning your small minds into the beautiful world of their art.

Someone (July 20, 2007)

Awesome album

Someone (July 20, 2007)

T.A.T.U > Tegan and Sara

Someone (July 20, 2007)

these fucking poser dyke cunts can fuck right off.

Someone (July 20, 2007)

Wow that's not homophobic and misogynistic at all.

Someone (July 20, 2007)

it's not? shit, let me try harder:

these ugly cunt licking dyke pieces of shit can fucking suck my massive rod. poser sluts

Someone (July 20, 2007)

Okay, I laughed.

notfeelingcreative (July 20, 2007)

Better on the misogyny, but the homophobia still needs some work.

Someone (July 20, 2007)

damnit! i'll have to listen to my bad brains records for inspiration and get back to you. those niggers hate fags i heard.

how was that?

notfeelingcreative (July 20, 2007)

Pretty good, I like the addition of blatant racism!

Someone (July 20, 2007)

word.

Someone (July 20, 2007)

Bet you have a massive pretzel rod.

why don't you go fucking suck on the salty ass piece of shit.

Someone (July 21, 2007)

You don't like eating pussy? You sound like a closet case to me, you shit licking fucktard.

Someone (July 20, 2007)

It's kinda funny when people encounter something different and instantly get scared by it so become aggressive. Racism, homophobia, sexism it's all there. All because you couldn't accept that although it is different, it's good.

Don't let your mind wander - it's far too small to be let out on its own

Someone (July 20, 2007)

it's just that i don't want to catch aids

Someone (July 20, 2007)

Are you always this stupid or are you making a special effort today?

Someone (July 20, 2007)

fuck this shit. it's fucking terrible. go die you fuckers.... i thought this was punk news?

Someone (July 20, 2007)

You've just been punk'd.

Someone (July 20, 2007)

What, are you fucking retarded?

dev (July 20, 2007)

350 comments, easily

Someone (July 20, 2007)

punknews....aka candianpopduonews....

Someone (July 20, 2007)

One of these bitches sings on the AM record no? I heard that same bitch is dating the singer of AM now, the racist dude. is any of this true???

Someone (July 20, 2007)

they don't do dudes.

Someone (July 20, 2007)

Yes, Tegan sings on AM, but I doubt she's dating anyone in the band, since she's a lesbian.

Someone (July 20, 2007)

honestly, that is just an act. they do do dudes.

Someone (July 20, 2007)

proof or stfu

Someone (July 20, 2007)

i banged them, what more fucking proof do you want? pervert.

LushJ (July 20, 2007)

Someone's got an active fantasy life!

Someone (July 20, 2007)

no, i really banged both of them. they are terrible in the sack though. too much carpet munching in their formative years have really put them behind the 8 ball, so to speak.

Someone (July 20, 2007)

That man is cruelly depriving a village somewhere of an idiot.

i-hate-winnipeg (July 21, 2007)

no. they're lesbians. and no. Tom's not racist.
um.

what?

Thus_Spoke_Sean (July 20, 2007)

i am excited to hear this, i enjoyed their last one alright, but really i am interested in hearing Chris Walla's production, plus whatever the drummer from Death Cab's name is, he does the drums. So there should be plenty to listen for.

Someone (July 20, 2007)

um, gay? bi-curious?

Thus_Spoke_Sean (July 20, 2007)

13? 13.5?

Someone (July 20, 2007)

Someone (July 22, 2007)

only if you're 5'3''

Someone (July 20, 2007)

This leaked like 2 months ago. I forgot it wasn't out yet, because I've had it for so long. Just sayin...

red_eyed420 (July 20, 2007)

my ex g/f must be soooo thrilled... oh man whats wrong with this world.

Someone (July 20, 2007)

why? cuz after you she turned into a lesbian?

slymer (July 20, 2007)

I'm gonna go to the Hair Force today and see if I can get one of thier hair cuts

skaboom (July 20, 2007)

Man, you guys are turds. I'm super excited for this. If you enjoyed So Jealous at all, it's 10x better.

Someone (July 20, 2007)

The post was made to talk about the record, not who they sleep with.
& if you didn't like the record, you didn't need to add in useless crass shit to your post.

I personally like the record alot.

Someone (July 20, 2007)

Someone (July 21, 2007)

You can't be serious? They have the guitar expertise of an average 7th grader. Power chords baby Power Chords...lol!

Someone (July 20, 2007)

It definitely isnt punk but its not shit either. The buzz about those two is getting huge with this release.

Someone (July 20, 2007)

I fucking looooove it when pricks write something off without even experiencing it - what a bunch of wanks.

GetItRightUpYe x

Someone (July 20, 2007)

Someone (July 20, 2007)

Dudley_Shale (July 21, 2007)

It's not gay if theres no eye-contact.

Someone (July 20, 2007)

Is it punk? nah not really.

Someone (July 20, 2007)

Dudley_Shale (July 21, 2007)

"Toaster dick" is an awesome insult.

Five stars.

greyicewater (July 20, 2007)

i've always loved tegan and sara's music but i'm really impressed with this album.
it's listenable all the way through. no need to skip a track.

Someone (July 20, 2007)

I love The Con good job t&s!

Someone (July 20, 2007)

I have to admit, the songs are preety damn good.

Holy_Balls (July 20, 2007)

I have a twin and we are fat. Do you think they would like to nuzzle on our manboobies, eventhough they are lesbians? I sure hope so. WHOAYEAH!

Someone (July 20, 2007)

i'm not sure their mouths are big enough. or anyone's mouths for that matter. it's called a treadmill and a shower, slimey mcgreaster.

Holy_Balls (July 20, 2007)

Oh. Ok.

Someone (July 20, 2007)

Holy_Balls (July 21, 2007)

Someone (July 20, 2007)

Sure, why not?

Maybe they can get advice from your ex-lovers lance bass, and george michael.

Holy_Balls (July 21, 2007)

Eventhough it wasn't a good one, you Someone's sure can't take a joke.

Someone (July 20, 2007)

the con is fabulous. way to go girls!

lostcausegiveup (July 20, 2007)

at the risk of asking a question whcih has probably already been on here, (i'm fucking lazy) why are we talking about tegan and sara?

Someone (July 21, 2007)

Because they have a CD fixing to be released.

Someone (July 21, 2007)

They don't really love each other...Tegan's a lesbian

Dudley_Shale (July 21, 2007)

Well played.

Someone (July 21, 2007)

Why the fuck is this on Punknews.org?!?!

Someone (July 21, 2007)

because there street team is trying to generate buzz for there upcoming release!

Someone (July 21, 2007)

they sound so nice.

its one of the best albums i heard so far.
sorry beatseaks( its my favourite band) but its true

i-hate-winnipeg (July 21, 2007)

wow. i'm sure all of you are easily able to admit that you listen to Rancid or The Unseen or some other queens-of-fashion-band, but not being able to pussy up a bit and admit that even though they may not be "punk" (so sorry that your communist ways aren't working out for you) Tegan and Sara are very good musicians and even if you don't like them you could either just fuck off or just say "not my thing, man," but i know that it's a requirement of us punxroxxorzz to be a douche-bag, so stay PUNK, bitch. i wish you could see my eyes rolling.

Tegan and Sara are great, man.

Someone (July 22, 2007)

hey, i dont go to a coffee website to talk about tea.

i-hate-winnipeg (August 15, 2007)

hahaha.

Someone (July 21, 2007)

Bah...I don't know what I hate worse Jock Rock or Dyke Rock!

i-hate-winnipeg (July 21, 2007)

jesus christ. if you're going to bag on them, why bag on their looks? i'm sure you look like a fucking moron seeing as how you're trying your hardest to tell people of on a fucking punk rock forum. internet punks don't count, douche, go do something with your life.

Someone (July 21, 2007)

C'mon please all, let's not go there with derogatory name calling.

i-hate-winnipeg (July 22, 2007)

oh, haha! good one. and you say this after you go on about how Tegan and Sara are dykes.

Someone (July 22, 2007)

so, doing it yourself makes it ok though? come off your high horse

i-hate-winnipeg (July 22, 2007)

mine's not a high horse. you're the one saying name calling is bad. i'm just fine and dandy with it.

Someone (July 21, 2007)

[quote]Tegan's a lesbian[quote]

Actually she was living a pretty much in the open "bi" lifestyle all last year. Anyone active in the local Vancouver music scene could tell you that is fact! [Sara also secretly eludes to this in a recent concert banter]

kmac99 (August 7, 2007)

Why the fuck would you put them down?The con is amazing
and stop centering out their sexuality
go be an ass somehwere else.
