FOF #214 - Queer Holiday Music Show - 12.21.05

Podcast
Gay music and film critic
Greg Shapiro visits with Fausto and Marc to celebrate the "reason for the season." No, we're not talking about the baby Jesus. The real reason is getting to listen to sappy holiday songs. This music feast covers everything from the macabre to the mundane to the downright insane!

We feature such titles as Akim & Teddy "Santa Claus is a Black Man," Little Cindy "Happy Birthday Jesus," Kinsey Sicks "'Tis the Season to Drink Stoli" and "God Bless Ye Femmy Lesbians" plus many other queer delights.

Listen as Greg, Fausto and Marc listen to some eclectic selections of queer holiday music.

Can't wait to hear this episode - it looks like at least two of the selections also included on A JOHN WATERS CHRISTMAS (one of my favorite Xmas CDs ever) made it onto the show:

Totally fun and I loved the El Vez song that combined Jimi Hendrix's "Fire" and Elvis' "Burning Love" with some Madonna lyrics thrown in for good measure! Brilliant! (though not too Xmasy, I guess) And, again, I was happy to hear those cuts from John Waters' collection - it's the best! Happy Holidays!

"Hey! I'm a new listener, and just wanted to say that I love the show! :) Thats all I can think to put! haha (Yeah I know great coment lol)"

It is a nice comment, which is more than I can usually manage due to my heart is cold and abusive, narcissistic personality.

Plus you have the name Trent which is totally hot.

Great show guys, Merry Christmas!

I don't know, Phil - I'm not at home or I'd check, too. Did you check under Kinsey SIX? Just in case Itunes spelled it wrong? I've seen them before and loved them - they're a lot of fun and one of the members used to work for Bill Clinton when he was president, authoring Clinton's HIV policy during his 1992 campaign and playing a key role in adding sexual orientation to Chicago's human-rights ordinance, which became law in 1988*

The other thing I like about them is their name - when using the sexuality scale of 50's sociologist Alfred Kinsey, a 1 is completely heterosexual and a 6 is completely homosexual - leaving no doubt how gay they are.

Here's their website:
