Yet another music tip

And this time its Patrick Wolf!

I’m a sucker for sexually ambiguous musicians and their music.
His latest album, The Magic Position, just makes me spring-happy!
It’s a bit dark, colourful, a bit queerlicious and the lyrics are just *wow*

On post-frequency, homesickness and 60’s pop

I try, really try to post everyday. But these days I’m just really not in the mood.
But I will force myself from now on. OK not really but I’ll try!

As I mentioned in one of my earlier posts, I’m really homesick. So homesick, that I ate 2 jumbo-packs of Dutch chocolate-sprinkles in 1 day. Which made even more sad, because I’m addicted to Dutch chocolate-sprinkles and I can’t buy them anywhere here in London.
But I still have my Dutch smoked sausages and dried herring!

Anyhow, I’m going on a holiday to Amsterdam somewhere around the 10th of May.
Its the semifinals and finals of the Eurovision Song Contest that weekend. And as a queer I can’t miss out on that! Alcohol, finger food, bitchiness and horrible music. Thats what life is all about!

And concerning nice/horrible music. You have to download the Pipettes!
My “super-father” send me the album by post. According to him it’s 60’s girlpop pulp, and therefore typically me. I received it yesterday and I’ve been listening to it since.

Music: The Gossip

This is a partial personal blog.
That doesnt mean though that I’m gonna blog about my (non-existent) love-life.
It does mean that I’m gonna bombard you sometimes with my music-addiction and other stuff.
Like now.

Ever wondered how indie rock and the voice of a Arkansas-lesbian with armpit hair and a transgender as fiancee sounds like?
Well download the Gossip. Its superb!
Beth Ditto, the vocalist, has one of the best voices in that whole indie-sphere. And the lyrics are super.
Especially “Standing in the way of control”. One of their biggest mainstream hits ( ok, ok their only one) and a song written as a response after the US government decided to deny gays the right to marry.
But other songs like Listen up and Coal to Diamonds are very good as well.
Just download it.

So that was one of the “BO18’s music bombardments” . See you next time!
