LETTING GO//LIKE IT’S 2010

Nov 06

I.AM.SO. into the Hercules/90′s nostalgia look and sound in Kim Ann Foxman’s new song “Creature” – everything is so crisp and clean and genderfuck. LOVE!

Unfortunately I’m having one of those moments where I can’t look past the fact that the video’s director posits the black dancers as the “Creature”. BUT imma look past all that like it’s 2010, and just enjoy everything she’s giving in this video because really, everything here is beautiful.

PERCO//LAZER

Oct 10

I just love this.  It’s all you could ask for if you’re as nerdy as I am when it comes to product placement, pop-cultural references and 80′s Saturday morning cartoons. Also, I love this remix of Percolator. DRIP! DROP!

FAMILY//FACEBOOK//TRANSparency//LOL

Oct 09

Oh Facebook. Why must you be so FUCKING connected?? My queer, leftist, artsy fart, fantastical world is being invaded by people from my past who know nothing about me as I exist today. This is can be risky. I may be out to my friends, school and workplace, but family by and large, is still a very sensitive subject for me. Some of my family are super chill and accept me for everything that I am. But the older folks in my close knit extended family are a different story.

Por ejemplo, a few of my family members are on Facebook. I’ve accepted this as a reality. For the most part it’s been fine, but as a result I’ve pulled back on communicating with people there because I find my family making comments ON EVERYTHING I post. See Figure 1.

Figure 1. Confused family member comments on Facebook event post

How do I explain Systyr Act to my Aunt? Should I just say, “Systyr Act is a group of my queer/trans friends who dress up like nuns making a total mockery of Catholics, Jesus & pop music. It’s hilarious!!!”?  It could be the perfect time to be honest, sure.  But more to the point, I CAN NOT STOP LAUGHING at this! If she only knew…

See you tonight.

WHY AM I STUCK INDOORS?

Sep 27

I wanted to go see these docs tonight, but am stuck inside doing a bullshit homework assignment. I will have to settle for watching these trailers for now. I sure fucking hope to make it out to see them with in the next couple days while they’re running together – this is a 4 hour commitment that I’m willing to make!

WHAT’S YOUR UNIFORM?

Sep 20

I stumbled upon these interviews between Prepidemic and Cornel West a few months ago. I meant to post them back then, but ya know, time flies. I really wish they had a better videographer (and they really should, given the people they’re interviewingz), but if you can look past that then it’s a great set of interviews.

POST-MODERN///REALNESS

DJ/Rupture’s description of Spoek Mathambo: “Spoek Mathambo is a slippery post-Apartheid glam-rap prince from Soweto who is descended from distant African royalty, or Jewish, or both.”
