Four Reasons Why Tegan and Sara Bore Me

Reason One, why Tegan and Sara bore me:
I cannot make it through the new album, Sainthood in one sitting. I can listen to a song here and there, but after playing about 3 songs in a row, I want to tear my ear drums out. Insert long and intelligently worded album review here with a main point that says the album is tired. I really liked T & S when I first came out of the closet, and then for about 5 years after that. I still feel an inexplicable obligation to continue listening to their music. In addition, I argue that most lesbians only like T & S because T & S are lesbians and they're cute and that cute lesbian musicians are few and far between.

Reason Two, why Tegan and Sara bore me:
Episode 1 of their new web series "Reflections"; Tegan stares into her reflection (get it?) in a mirror and reflects upon the day's events, such as this morning's jog, in a monotone voice with a look of severe boredom on her face. The reflections are interspersed with clips of Tegan jogging this morning. Tegan says "I think today is day 13 of the tour and it feels like day 1300." To me, musicians complaining about the hassles of touring (a European tour to boot) is the equivalent of celebrities complaining about not being able to go anywhere without being recognized. Cry me a river. You ride around in a posh tour bus with your friends and play in front of thousand of adoring fans. Get a day job if it sucks so badly. I fall asleep at 1min, 44sec.

Reason Three, why Tegan and Sara bore me:
Episode 2 of "Reflections"; Tegan is in the mirror mumbling in the same monotone voice that hypnotizes me into a daze. This time Sara is in the webisode. I try to decide who's hipster haircut is more annoying. I decide that I can't decide, nor do I care enough to decide. There's some blather about it taking 30 minutes to make Tegan an espresso this morning on the tour bus. Cut to shot of tour bus: one of their hipster dude entourage members is taking 30 minutes to make Tegan an espresso. I'm pretty sure I see a flat screen TV in the background. I puke at 2min 57sec.

Reason Four, why Tegan and Sara bore me:
Episode 3 of "Reflections"; Things seem semi-promising with footage taken on-stage of the audience and some backstage antics with a hipster dude entourage member. Tegan is wearing T & S merchandise, I'm not sure that it's meant to be ironic. I'm quickly bored and get distracted by a commercial on the TV in my living room. I realize I'd rather watch it than the rest of this webisode. I'm not sure when I stop paying attention...about halfway through?

There's no doubt that Tegan and Sara fans love "Reflections", but that means nothing; T & S fans would watch Tegan paint a wall and then watch that same paint dry. I will not tune in for future "Reflections", unless I'm having a hard time falling asleep and counting sheep isn't working.
