    RIP Steve Bronski of Bronski Beat

    Sadly Steve Bronski of Bronski Beat has died aged 61 (on the right in the above photo). I can’t stress how important his band was – not only launching the career of Jimmy Somerville but also soundtracking my early queer experiences and being one of the few out queer bands – the only one that…

  • RC 350: The List Show Part 1

    RC 350: The List Show Part 1

    Podcast 350 is finally here and it’s slightly listing because it’s the much threatened show of list songs! 23 tracks and you won’t believe #22!

    Doing The Best You Can

    During my research for my Disco PHD (only partly joking, I do take it that seriously, maybe one day turn it into something more material than mixes) I discovered this anthem to gay tolerance by Theo Vaness, “As Long As It’s Love”. Proper hands-in-the-air anthem. I was listening to this when the news that the…
