Mr. Gira's Identity Crisis: A List Of Everything That Michael Gira Has Identified Himself As

In order for it to count, he must say ''I am'' or ''we are'' followed by a noun. adjectives like ''blind'' don't count, unless they are reffering to another noun. He must strictly talk in present tense. Future tense or past tense doesn't count, unless if it is reallyyyy obvious because of the title. example: Helpless Child and Your Property. If it is sung by Jarboe, Karen O, Jennifer Gira, Dan Matz or just anyone except him, it doesn't count.
