discovering the queer country scene has honestly been so healing because most queer musicians i've seen recommended for years i just couldn't really connect with because it wasn't the sort of music i listened to or had investment in and with queer country it's like. yes. this is the language i speak in. this is Fuck You, I Belong Here Too, not just as a queer person in the country but as a rural person among (sub)urban queers, and saying it with a laugh. when will my hometown take pride in me, goddamn it

Drop the list!!

[queerpyracy]

FIRST: rachel holst does the adobe & teardrops blog as well as the rainbow rodeo newsletter & zine. look into the black opry also, there are plenty of black queer country/folk/americana artists & there is a lot of collaboration between them and other queer country/folk/americana musicians

my personal list:

adeem the artist (especially the new album, white trash revelry)

paisley fields (stay away from my man is a good old fashioned honky tonk jam about gay on gay violence)

jake blount (the new faith is an afrofuturist album using roots music to explore life after climate collapse, HIGHLY recommend)

sarah shook & the disarmers (especially the album sidelong, ESPECIALLY the songs fuck up & dwight yoakam)

lavender country (everything but especially cryin' these cocksucking tears. patrick haggerty sadly passed in 2022 and we lost a real one. he self-described as a screaming marxist bitch)

flamy grant (okay so. bible belt baby is Technically a christian album that i was tricked into listening to. but listen. what did you drag me into is an instant classic)

mercy bell (especially who said we were friends. i can't hear the lyric "mea culpa/here's a gulpa/my drink in your face" and NOT recommend it)

amythyst kiah (if you haven't heard black myself by now what even are you doing. go listen to it)

do you want to speedrun a depressive episode as a queer woman who fears you may have too much in common with your father? listen to i drink by mary gauthier now

karen & the sorrows (there is a lot to recommend karen pittelman and the work she has done for queer country artists but i'm a useless lesbian so i'm submitting for consideration a photo of the red dress from the mv for guaranteed broken heart that i think about a normal amount:

[themorikelife]

There ain't no possible way that I'd remember to listen to any of these artists on my own so I made a handy-dandy playlist on Spotify with an on-the-nose title for all the other cowpokes who need to save/bookmark something and come back to it later.

It's basically the most recent album of all the artists listed above. It's about 7 hours long so have at it, y'all

bad news is that i have spent years cultivating the ability to pass as a normal social person in public only for it to be largely undone by 2020. the good news is that everyone else is ALSO out of practice so me being a giant weird is excusable

[exemplarybehaviour]

the context of this is that i shook someone's hand for the first time in years and i went about it in the weirdest weird possible and was like "sorry that was a pretty hesitant hand shake" and he replied "no it's okay. it was nice and warm." no offense but what the F U C K kind of conversation is that

In commemoration of the École Polytechnique Massacre, a day we should really have down here in the states.

(Date in American format because it’s a worldwide issue and I didn’t want it to appear overtly national, but who knows?)

Blast from the past! Mamba is owned by Colonel-Strawberry.

Concepts for a film… seeing if a soul can look like a 1600s New England gravestone rubbing.

I’d forgotten about this! Columbia memories of sticking these things onto the corkboard.

Into the woods! Into the woods!
