It seems that every few years or so, a new generation of people gets really excited about the life and work of Leigh Bowery. If you don't know who Leigh Bowery was, I will leave your education up to this very comprehensive summation from a few years back at Dennis Cooper's blog (which you should be reading anyway). Another great place to start with Leigh is the Charles Atlas documentary, The Legend of Leigh Bowery, which is available in its entirety for viewing here.

When you're done looking through all of THAT, watch this:



And then when you're done watching THAT, download the remix of Minty's "Useless Man" by The Grid, who are apparently still extant and making new albums. Kind of a product of its time, yes, but there's something about it that I find wildly charming. Perhaps it is that British electro-house sound that led to electroclash that does it...Anyway, enjoy!

So, a while back Brontez from Gravy Train!!! gave me a CD of his ga(y)rage project, The Younger Lovers. It is full of lovely gems of punky, gay garage hits, including one of the most catchy tunes of recent memory, "Sha-Boo-Bee." Totally tight, yeah? Yeah! He also sent me the past two issues of Fag School, which is his awesome porno punk zine that made me spit out out my 40 while I was reading because shit is so funny. And look at him in the picture above! What a fuckin' hot number! Get down with the two tracks below, then go out and find some ass to squeeze.
