Black Lips

“The title of [the below] video is “The Black Lips’ Jared Swilley apologizes for homophobia, kisses gay blogger” which made me worried that someone had forced Jared into a Michael-Richards/Dog-the-Bounty-Hunter public shaming situation over calling the fag from Wavves a fag.

Turns out it’s mainly just him breaking down the difference between the high-school and hate-crime usages of “faggot” and then kissing a guy to atone for his slurs. I’d describe more of what they talk about but the make-out anticipation in interviewer guy’s voice is severely putting me on edge. This must be what girls feel like ALL THE TIME. ” [Vice]

Watch the above-described video (where Jared does end up making out with the interviewer) at the end of this set of pictures from last night’s show at Bowery Ballroom (we’ll talk more about the show in the set of pictures we have from their show one night earlier at Brooklyn Bowl)…
