Queer Music Thread

Willtom...the percentages might have to be rearranged...all I know is I've been blown by a woman and liked the intimacy of the situation. Never been blown by a man yet. Let's see how it feels and then I'll rearrange the percentages if need be :)

(If you really want to know why I should change the percentages - all you have to do is look at my academic record - taking one class on Writing Race & Sexuality and one intro to LGBT studies)
 
I don't know. It's all good. As long as you're not judgmental. There was a gay guy who asked if I was in the right room when I walked into that Writing Race & Sexuality class. I wanted to punch him in the face. I guess I just look completely straight (it's cause I've got the clueless thing going on.)
 
Re, the thread: of COURSE, Pet Shop Boys. Fey, poignant, fearless, beautiful PSB.

It must be obvious

It's a Sin (live with a twist--check out Sylvia Mason-James' pipes on this one)

Jealousy

What's so terrific about these guys is that even if you aren't in on the "joke," it's relevant. Brilliant fuckin' writing and music--listen to the words, the chords. I just love them, and they're still putting it out nearly 25 years on! This is a DEMO, fer chrissakes:

Can't you just imagine grinding with some hottie on a dancefloor to that? Discovered it last night (also performed elsewhere by Pete Burns of Dead or Alive fame) and can't stop moving. Who wants to go out tonight and be a FAG?? :)

The Virgin Prunes Come To Daddy (studio and live)
Disc one here has the goods. "The Beast" is the most evil piece of music ever. End of story. No heavy metal excess can even come close. "The Slow Children" and "Sad World" are gentle pieces that act as the flip side. "Come to Daddy" is depraved and violent. The others are somewhere in between. It's worth getting for this disc alone.
Although I must admit to being a bigger fan of their first album, many fans -most perhaps-consider this to be the Virgin Prunes definitive statement and maybe it is. For its singularly dark vision and evil as hell sonic onslaught, I give this one five stars. If "Come to Daddy" isn't the most evil sounding racket in history, I don't know what is. Sound quality is superb and on a good stereo you can really hear how dense and tripped out -almost "dubby" at times-the production is. It's a pity the original artwork for this was lost. The original album was an amazing looking object.
Any sick fuck who wants the lyrics can look 'em up. And remember kids: tomorrow is just like yesterday, only backwards.

Ohhhh I don't know......

I tend to think that the gayest songs ever are Brand New Lover and You Spin Me Round by Dead Or Alive. Every ten or so years they re-work You Spin Me Round and voila! it's a hit again. So not only is it gay, but it's retro and rehabbed. How gay is that?

You Spin Me Round 1985
You Spin Me Round 1996
You Spin Me Round 2003

It's amazing to me that people in 1985 weren't quite sure if Pete Burns was gay just as they weren't quite sure of Boy George. God we were naive.

The B-52's are probably the gayest group ever given the number of gay members.
