Sorry for the radio silence but I'm obsessed with Tumblr

My New Years resolution has completely failed and that was me writing at least 1 blog post a week. It also doesn't help that I have become obsessed with TUMBLR of late. Its my new favourite Social Media website of late. You can follow me as surprise surprise VINYLLUVER.

Today is the Sydney Mardi Gras parade. Last year I did a long post about it. This year it is very much a subdued affair but I shall be venturing out with Brettystar to soak up the atmosphere (thats if we don't get scared by the rain).

This year the City of Sydney have painted a RAINBOW (go figure) across Oxford St, in the heart of gay Sydney and it seems to have caused some controversy. The photo is below. I kind of love it and think they should keep it. Happy Mardi Gras from Sydney!!!!!

I LOVE YOU!

Thankyou Sydney Mardi Gras and Thankyou Kylie Minogue!

I've just found out about Perfume Genius

My friend Peter Dixon in London told me about a band he has been listening to of late called Perfume Genius (Mike Hadreas). Tonight, I headed straight to youtube to investigate and I LIKE! I came across this lovely video for HOOD (which features porn star Arpad Miklos). 

He reminds me of Sufjan Stevens, Antony and the Johnsons and a touch of Rufus Wainwright all rolled into 1. Its obvious from the few songs I have listened to that Mike Hadreas writes and performs songs with an intensity which is missing from many artists. I love it when I find a new musical gay sensation. Its been a while since that happened. He has released 2 albums and his second LP was released in February this year called Put Your Back N to It. I think this is an album I need to buy!

Perfume Genius being interviewed about his music, his gayness and his fragility as well as playing some songs from Put Your Back N to It for Pitchfork.
