I am digging La Roux a lot these days. Quicksand is good, but I can’t get the song Bulletproof out of my head. The video is kind of killer too. Very “Tron.” Video here:

I grew up on Pansy Division. I think it’s enough to be fun & tongue and cheek. It’s a craft and I think there is a certain politics in that- the in your face manner of it. They’ve always had some political lyrical content but that was never the focus of the music. As it should be!

I discovered Pansy Division when they (actually just Ginoli at that stage) were self-releasing an audiotape to SF Bay Area record stores.

They were pioneers then. But you’re saying there’s nothing radical about singing queer rock music about getting older? You’re dinging PD for not being angry. Sure, they had angry songs back when, but Pansy Division was ever more about celebration – celebrating queer love, dammit – than it was about fury. I love Pansy Division, even when I’m not loving a particular song (tho every album has some I love); there’s just nobody else in competition with them for celebrating teh gay. There ought to be!

wow the adrian lux video is really cool!
It looks like something Max Vitali would shoot, i mean with the sweeping shots and the darkness.
