Furry Representation in Mainstream Music!
9 years ago
I'd suspected for quite a while that Will Toledo of the band Car Seat Headrest is a furry. I confirmed it when I did some detective work and found this http://www.furaffinity.net/user/carseatheadrest and this http://www.furaffinity.net/view/5768983/
Seems he's (wisely) abandoned the carseatheadrest account upon getting famous. According to shouts left on that page, there was a time when he posted music here. Man, imagine hearing someone's music on Fur Affinity and then they end up playing on Jimmy Fallon. I mean, that's totally gonna happen to me too. I'd bet he's still lurking around somewhere, but if he doesn't want to be found, I won't look too hard. Still, it's really fucking cool to do the archaeology.
So what clued me in? Well, there's some of his vaguely-furry album art (i.e. second link), and lyrics such as, "My fingerprints are getting burned off from using the too-hot touchpad of my Macbook Pro as I casually scroll through the fetish page forum of which I am an active member. I promise I will never use the term 'anthro fiction' when describing your body of work..." Stuff that probably wouldn't raise the ire of anybody who's not predisposed to notice it. Apparently 4chan has known this for some time, but why the hell would I ever go on 4chan.
I am so happy about this. I KNEW IT!
