I really love this song! My first roommate, Will, showed me this song freshman year of college. I was very resistant to it. He also showed me Charli XCX’s self titled album as it was released while we were rooming together. Also resistant. I didn’t understand either of the artists at the time. But in retrospect, I’m very glad I had him as a roommate to show me the proper way to be gay. I now love both of the aforementioned artists. Thank you, Will. :)

Bronski beat

Smalltown Boy will always give me the feels. Certainly contributed to my queer awakening.

The dream syndicate, “tell me when it’s over”

There aren’t many bands or songs out there you can point to and say “this changed my life” but this band and song did. It contains one of the dirtiest guitar licks ever recorded, an earworm of melody and noise. They helped me discover the Velvet Underground 🍌(and kick-started the so-called Paisley Underground movement that gave birth to the Bangles among others). My band could even play this song and it sounded BOSS (not every cover did, ha). So simple anyone could play it; but only THEY could write it. I wrote about the PaIsley Underground years later for Magnet: https://magnetmagazine.com/2001/05/18/one-nation-underground-the-story-of-the-paisley-underground/ God bless Steve Wynn and Co 🎶 this one's still a keeper many decades later.
