Let her Know subtly

I have found that an easy way to let her know you care about her is through music. Make her a cd with some of her favorite music. It is an easy way to send a message. It is cute and thoughtful.
Here are a few songs that I found I liked and so did she:
Easy Listening, [...]

Dyke Anthems

In my never-ending quest to find the ultimate dyke anthem, I’m torn between two The L Word-related classics: (Flashdance) What A Feeling by Irene Cara and The Weakness In Me by Joan Armatrading. The first song is, admittedly, a bit of a born-again dyke anthem because of the whole Jennifer Beals/Bette Porter/The L Word-link. But hey, [...]

Sistahood or actually really good?

Why, as lesbians, do we like queer music/musicians?  Or, more specifically, music made by a sapphic sister.  Are we just drawn to Melissa Etheridge/Indigo Girls/Ani DiFranco/et al purely because they are lesbians or do we really like their music?
Shortly after I came out, my first real life girlfriend bought me a full set of Melissa Etheridge cds.  I presumed [...]

I’m Gay

In dire need of something to brighten up this first rainy Sunday of summer? Check the one and only real queer anthem:
Little Britain Presents: I’m Gay (mp3)
(I’m a member of a flock who prefers a bit of cock)

Lezzies On X Return

Following two years of touring and general party-starting Lesbians on Ecstasy’s much-anticipated sophomore release is set to drop in early spring 2007. They’re back and surfing the giant third wave of wimmin’s lib, but amongst the optimistic slogans and hopes for a liberated future, corporate interests and inequality reign, turning feminist dreams to stone and [...]

Dyke Music Pt. 2

6/ The Pipettes
I admit, The Pipettes are actually more a band for fags than for dykes. (I saw them perform last summer and standing right in front of me was a teenager with pink ribbons tied in his hair, a pink t-shirt & pink nail varnish. Just to give you an idea of the kind of audience they [...]

Music For Dykes Pt. 1

So, The Organ broke up and ceased to exist. Don’t worry, there are still lots of dyke & women featured bands out there (and at least Peaches can never break up with herself). Here’s a little guide to what’s new(-ish) AND female (*) on the music scene. Move over, Melissa!
1/ The Gossip
The only band in this [...]

Gay Bands

“One of the most dangerous ways homosexuality invades family life is through popular music. Parents should keep careful watch over their children’s listening habits, especially in this Internet Age of MP3 piracy.”
This website is listing bands that can make you gay, and they’re asking for our help… let’s give them a hand, shall we?
And share please: [...]

Chesthair

Amy Ray has always been my favourite Indigo Girl. As a young Indigo Girls fan I went through quite a few hardships, defending Amy and Emily through tick and thin. Against my sister for example, who called them “those bleating goats”.
Oh well, life isn’t easy and you need to be tough.
But it was only this [...]
