Billie Ray Martin should have been a big star. In the mid-nineties, after the demise of the critically adored Electribe 101, Ms. Martin struck gold withe the UK top ten record Your Loving Arms, a song which cracked the US Top 40 and reached #1 on the Billboard Dance chart.
Martin has never captured the success of that early record, which is a shame, since her albums have gotten consistently stronger. Her voice is of the same intensity as Aretha Franklin and that is even more impressive when you realize it is coming from a small German woman. Calling London her home once again Billie launches a new club night Wednesday called Komputerliebe, downstairs at 43 South Molton.
Like Boy George before her, Billie is now embracing djing and promises electronic music for the connoisseur. Those in London should check it out. Those not lucky enough to attend should rediscover Martin’s back catalog.

come on up. come in january and i’ll get you tickets to the opera i’m performing in.
we could make a nice video: Showing a Troll What It’s Like To Actually Have Friends.
you’re officially proving how unstable you are – providing a number which cannot be proven to be yours, while it’s been reported as one from a man who made death threats. and yet you won’t provide any actual visual of who you are. because you’re a lying cowardly sack of s**t.
AtticusBennett
oh, trust – he won’t show. he’s the type who can only type things on a screen, not do anything in real life.
and yes, he did threaten you. and yes, he is showing how mentally unstable he is. he could always show us who he is – you know, to verify. but he won’t. because he’s too cowardly. he’ll keep saying “MEET ME MEET ME OR I’LL COME TO TORONTO!”
hell, come to toronto. come in january and i’ll get you tickets to the opera i’m performing in. lol

You read stories about gay vampires yet I’M the psychopath ?
AtticusBennett
he won’t show. it’s all talk, no action. that’s what his kind is made of – empty words on a screen. note how he won’t show himself, only give a phone number that has been reported for uttering death threats. he could make this all very simple and show himself. but trolls can’t do that. ever.

So what ? I had to fight off gaybashers too. That wasn’t my fault. But if someone calls me out for having allied myself with such a vicious nit, I’d deserve it.

I’m amazed, and disappointed, that as soon as we gain a lot of ground securing our own rights, we turn into those very type of people we used to accuse of denying us our rights. I may not personally participate in prostitution, but I believe it should be legal, and that those who freely wish to participate in that area of commerce should be allowed to do so. Those who opposed gay rights in the past told us that if we go to prison for practicing our rights, then that is what we deserve because we knew it was illegal. But we wouldn’t stand for it and demanded our rights. We knew it was not right for us to go to prison for freely exercising our right to do with our bodies whatever we chose. But now we want to send this guy to prison because “he knew it was illegal”? Wow, how quickly we turn into self-righteous a-holes.

Um, didn’t Bette Midler, initially tell Larry King, she opposed marriage equality? It was only after she saw $$$ disappear did she evolve. I think Midler needs to shut her piehole.
