This page is a weird mix of rantings and ravings, Music, graffiti, punk,Doctor Who, postpunk, comics,art, general silliness and GPOB (gratuitous pictures of Bowie). Sometimes I post about the 2012 US elections

Wrote a mini-roundup of new(ish) manga/indie books with LGBT characters for NPR.
In which it is revealed that — as Matt Groening heralded back in the 1980s — Lynda Barry continues her undisputed reign as Funk Queen of the Universe. Because yow, but

THE BUZZCOCKS - EVER FALLEN IN LOVE
A universal message wrapped up in a three minute punk song sung entirely in a minor chord. It’s melancholy, angry, and wistful, and Pete Shelley’s vocals are perfect. One of my all-time favorites - this is a great live performance.
Everyone laughs - but being a punk means you made being a moany, antisocial old fucker your ultimate goal in life.
so I’m on the right track then! my adolescent dreams have come true

“I Had Too Much To Dream Last Night” by Jayne County and the Electric Chairs
Note: Tonight I’ll be making short posts/reblogs on creative trans/genderqueer/etc folks from recent history- artists, writers, musicians, etc. Feel free to drop suggestions in my ask box, and they’ll all be grouped here as I post them. Enjoy!
from transradical:
Jayne County is probably the most interesting musician you’ve never heard of. A regular at the Stonewall Inn, County was one of many trans women who participated at the Stonewall Riots.
She worked alongside the likes of Andy Warhol, David Bowie (having a great influence on his Diamond Dogs tour) and was direct influence on a young Patti Smith, who met County by being cast opposite her in the first of several plays they would do together. While Jayne was already an active musician in what would become the punk rock scene, it would still be several years before Patti Smith would begins putting her poems to music.
She was also the inspiration for the titular character in the cult classic Hedwig and the Angry Inch.
There’s really no other woman more deserving of the title “mother of punk rock.”
thanks to Ed Choy for the suggestion!
Her band, Jayne County and the Electric Chairs, was really great. One of the original punks who doesn’t get enough credit today.
