The future of lesbian music can be summed up in two words: WHITE WORM! Consisting of two raging Leos, Erin Zona and Rachel Mesplay Helm, White Worm's new single and video, a brutal cover of the Stevie Nicks' dance floor classic "Stand Back," is quite possibly one of the best things I've ever seen or heard. Who would have thought that Stevie Nicks and that chick from Harry Potter would make such a dynamic duo?

Erin: Is that like personal?
Rachel: No.
Erin: Okay then, my biggest influence is the film Silence of the lambs.
Rachel: Like that part in the beginning where Clarice has to jump over that wooden wall.
Erin: I consider the opening scene of Silence of the Lambs whenever Jodi Foster is running through the woods to be like an episode of JackAss.
Rachel: Well, my biggest influence is you, so I would have to say that my biggest influence is Silence of the Lambs.
Erin: Maybe we should take this more serious.
Rachel: OK. Heroes. Well, I got a lot of heroes. Some of my heroes include…
Erin: I'm taking a hit of pot.Thanks for the info. Let's try something else. Why'd you start White Worm?
Rachel: OK well, mostly the inspiration behind The White Worm is John McCain. So, Erin made a joke about John McCain because he is a white, squirmy, chubby bald guy and so we got a six-pack of beer and decided to make a song called "The White Worm."
Erin: It wasn't even that funny of a joke.
Rachel: No, it wasn't really that funny, but the really important thing is that we decided to do it that night because we both really want to be in a rock 'n' roll band. You were learning how to play the drums.
Erin: For like two minutes.
Rachel: You know, you're doing good. I mean you played on Madison Avenue.
Erin: Madison Avenue. What are you talking about? That was Madison Square Garden.
Rachel: Were playing the American Kennel Club! Heartguard Worm Medicine presents THE WHITE WORM!!!All right. This is going well. If you could kill anyone, who would it be?
Rachel: Adolf Hitler.
Erin: That's dumb. He's already dead.
Rachel: So, I can only kill somebody who's alive. Umm. Who would I kill? I would kill Suri Cruise.
Erin: Who the fuck is that?
Rachel: Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise's daughter. I'd kill her.
Erin: We're gonna go to jail for this interview.
Rachel: Oh well. When was the last time you cried?
Rachel: I cried during Wall-E.
Erin: You did?!Are you guys hungry?
Erin: Not only are we hungry, but we are starving. Please visit our web site.
Rachel: Wait a minute, I want to update the last time I cried. I am crying right now.CODY CRITCHELOE
