Our Basement:
Sad, late-night masturbation has a home in the seedy underbelly of pop culture – but even though it comes hand in hand (lol) with hook-up culture, distracting yourself from FOMO, and (let’s be real) self-care, sad masturbation doesn’t have a fun pop anthem. How many more party songs about getting blackout drunk by breakfast or patting ourselves on the back for being the best consumers we can be, do we really need? If our culture is getting over gender and its construction, we should reclaim the acts, images, and ideas that constitute that culture’s shame. “Late Night Girls” takes a wide range of sounds and influences from the 20th century – Deux Trois’ own version of musically jerking off, probably. The single is what happens when three self-aware malcontents sit on the rampant, internet-induced loneliness of our times, and manage to preserve their sound. We’re past pop culture’s endless attempts to assimilate sex and gender into the confines it created over the course of the 20th century. Deux Trois’ ‘Late Night Girls’ is a song and a think piece. You can interpret its meat and its meaning by watching the video below and streaming the single on Soundcloud or Spotify.
First listen can be found on New Noise.

Good morning!
Good morning. I note that Nadia Pacey directed the video as well.
Hello hello!
Hello, I was a little reticent to post this, given the first sentence, but I figured that most of you are adults.
Tina Sinatra, the other one of Frank’s kids, is interviewed on q today. Interesting as a) they sample many of FS’s classics, and man could he sing, and b) because Tina’s a non-performer — interesting, considering her two siblings (Frank Jr, Nancy), and her dad, who revelled in singing live.
Garf, you *probably* figured right(!)
Re: Garf’s 6:40, I’m having an attack of the vapours over the word underbelly in the first sentence 🙂
@Janet, and here was me worried about mentioning “culture” on the site
Another ‘item’ on y this a.m. is an interview with, and performances by, Donovan Woods.
Um, above, y = q
I did wonder
Yeah, hard to say that was a “typo”, q and y being nowhere close.
y is a new show by the people who brought you q for people who think that everything has a reason.
“sad masturbation” is a thing? huh
Longview by Green Day might be another anthem in this vein. Some of the others – Naked Rain by the Waltons, for example – wouldn’t exactly be considered sad, I guess.
“Sad masturbation” tracks might make an interesting Friday playlist.
up for that one, Darbar? 😉
added challenge – keeping it Canadian
So nothing but Nickelback then
the Waltons were Canadian.
Well, Nickleback, and some Deux Trois.
I’m sure there are a few, just takes some searching
