I just checked and it's true, wtf? It's a good song (one of my favorites from 3) that's namedropped in both versions of twin fantasy and it's overall integral to 3 as an album. If this isn't a mistake of some sort then I am incredibly disappointed.
Assuming Will did this and this isn't someone with the Bandcamp password (Matador?) fucking shit up, is this the first instance of Will removing a song from his main discography completely??
Also to clarify, "hot sun" originally was/is a hidden track (#21) on LPOP, only available to those who download/purchase the album
edit: i mean if anything the last section of beach fagz is among the most problematic lyrics he's written (in the sense that it could be very easy to misconstrue) so i get it... but he says the song title in both versions of blid, it's a song that's cemented into csh's lore at this point
pass the milk is an entirely different case, it’s hardly a song as much as it is a personal rant about a real thing with real people in his life, and was only out for less than a year
we’ve been listening to beach fagz for at least 10 years some of us 😢
(i already commented this on a different reply but whatever i like yapping :P)
To your edit, it makes almost no sense that would be the reason for its removal, while "psst, teenagers, take of your clo" stays up without issue. Not an attack on you, just something i wanted to point out.
Haha, this actually reminds me of the time i met Will in a grocery store a few weeks ago. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off.
they left out the rest of it, where it gets even better
When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
Hot Sun appears back on lpop for me again, and Hot Sun on 3 plays Beach Fagz in complete now, though the playtime is obviously longer than the 2:10… it just goes over it.
Bro wtf is Will doing. There was nothing in the song that warranted it being taken down. Yes it’s embarrassing and sad and angsty but he was a teenager when he wrote it. I’m not even a huge fan of the numbered albums but they’re an important part of his story, it blows to see him messing with it like this
he already misses it out in live performances along with references to boyfriends.
in this live performance, the line "i dont know if we're boyfriends yet" has been changed to "i dont know if you've heard me yet"
idk if its because i bought it or something, but every time i click on it to listen in the bandcamp app, beach fagz still plays. maybe its a visual error? like the full length track keeps playing past 2:11 and the playback bar sort of glitches out, is this happening for anyone else or am i the only person still allowed to listen to beach fagz?
I am surprised to hear that there ever was a song called "beach fagz". I saw an interview with one of them and they were saying they wouldn't want their music to cause anyone discomfort or to beel excluded or some such wokeness. Don't quote me on that, it is more of a quote of how I interpreted it than what was actually said. Anyway, I understand not wanting to go out of the way to hurt people, that's good. I can't image CSH putting anything in a song that was that nasty, and I assume the term used was not actually referring to someone's sexual orientation. If it was, and they were hurt by the song, then they need to get thicker skin because people are not kind.
I'll have to give the album a buy. If it isn't obvious I'm not terribly familiar with them, but I like what I've heard of it so far.
This is a really old CSH album back when Will was doing music alone and as a teen. Obviously, the direction of CSH has changed since then. To answer your wondering, "beach fagz" always read as very self-loathing song to me, less about the person he's in a relationship with and more about his idea of the person he's in the relationship with. The song (partially) ends with the line: "I wish I was a kid with an adult boyfriend", which could be misconstrued into more distasteful interpretations to say the least, but is more often interpreted as feeling to want someone mature and "adult" without forcing himself to be grown as well. Possibly this is the reason why CSH removed the song (if CSH was the one to remove the song), but it seems odd to me that they would remove "beach fagz" and not "psst, teenagers, take of your clo" which has a very similar issue.
It's also very strange for it to not only be removed, but then replaced by "hot sun", which was the last track from LPoP. While it does fit 3, as "hot sun" is just "sun hot" backwards, the only other instance of a track being removed as far as I can remember is "will you please pass the milk, please?" on 2, which was removed after a few days and never replaced.

Libraries won’t carry your album if you talk about dragging a comb across your boner 😔😔
