If you’re looking for Cutting Room Floor on social media, you’ll find them under the moniker “Sad Gay Band.” It’s sort of a joke, it’s also not an exaggeration – it might even be an understatement, both with regard to being gay and to being sad. Sink/Swim is their latest album, and it’s been over three years in the making.
I’m rediscovering how much I love simple, catchy, fun pop music. There’s some other solid rock, folk, and R&B this month, though, too!
Ah summer. When the melancholy heartbreak of the cooler seasons is replaced with frantic lust and desperation. But you can stop crying over whoever it is you’re crying over. Because only one person matters now. Lesbian Jesus herself. Hayley Kiyoko.
Plus, the new music video for “See Me” was filmed by Straddlers, featuring Straddlers, at A-Camp!
I don’t know if I’m about to get murdered or married or literally never hear from her again. And I don’t really care??
I’m interested in Pride as a time for angry resistance! As such, I’ve got a bunch of new queer rock music to share.
Janelle Monáe is, quite simply, peerless.
I feel like we have some deeper, more interesting, more contemplative stuff here at Queer Your Ears this month.
This summer I want to kiss girls. Girls sticky with lipgloss, girls purple with lipstain, girls sweet with cherry chapstick. I dream about kissing girls in my car (front or back seat). I dream about kissing them in the shade or in the sun. We are always a little bit sweaty and smelling like grass. We are always kissing to music.
It’s a great time to be queer and/or trans music fan! There was SO MUCH incredible music to cover this month.
A selection of emotionally devastating songs I live in fear of having to emotionally process in public without warning at CVS.
We’ve got a good mix of tunes here this month: some hip-hop and EDM if you’re ready to bounce off that winter chill, some intense vibes and chill folk if you still want to hibernate for a bit — and of course a bunch in between.
Milwaukee based REYNA (Victoriah and Hannah Gabriela Banuelos) has some perfectly crafted queer pop you’ll love, and they’re gearing up for their biggest year yet.
I’m ready to kiss the last hours of the longest 28 days on record away with a f*cking party and a playlist full of bangers!
Nobody plays a piano on a stage like Lady Gaga plays a piano on a stage!
Here’s a bunch of rapid-fire reviews to cover albums, songs, and EPs that may have escaped your notice in 2018.
This month, we have some new queer indie love songs! Too late for your V-Day playlists, but still always welcome.
Sometimes the hardest part of being a person with a body is admitting how hard it is in the first place. So it goes in the newest single from Mal Blum, rock musician, friend of Autostraddle/A-Camp, and all around cool human.
Plus a moving tribute to Dolly Parton performed, of course, by Dolly Parton.
This month, there are some wintry tracks for relaxing and looking out the window at a rainy day, as well as some upbeat stuff for breaking out of the doldrums. And a bunch of stuff in between.
This Lena Waithe produced music video features queer (and straight) couples of all races, genders, and presentations allllll tangled up in each other.
