Recovering roller derby addict not ready to hang up her skates. In the interim, this blog will probably be about other things!

My name is Mona Mour, and I've been playing roller derby since 2007. I'm currently a member of the Boston Derby Dames, Boston’s first and only all-female, DIY, skater-owned and -operated flat track roller derby league. I skate for the Wicked Pissahs, manage the Boston Massacre, and am a member of the BDD Executive Board. BDD is a proud member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA), and I serve as a skater rep to the organization. I also run WFTDA's Tumblr. I got my start in derby as a Bleeding Heartland Rollergirl (Bloomington, IN). When I'm not skating, I also write books. This blog used to be all about roller derby, but these days it's about other things, too.

In this video, unlike CNN, ABC, Etc, this recording isn’t using the official mic-feed. The camera man was using his own mic, and he/she were so close that he could hear the mic feed over the speakers, AND Beyoncé’s actual voice. ” (via)

Oh thank god. 

AS IF Queen B would stoop that low.

It was always my understanding that the statement was that the MILITARY BAND had a backing track, and that Beyonce elected to sing to that instead of singing to the band playing live. Everyone heard “backing track” and lost their shit, but having been in a band (yeah, I was cool in high school), I can tell you that in cold temps, those brass instruments get wicked sharp, and Queen Bey wasn’t about to have her performance sullied by some out of tune flutes, you feel me?

I mean, watching the feed, she would have to be the world’s GREATEST lip syncer to have faked that.
