(People who know me well won’t be surprised to hear that I own everything on this list.)<\/p>\n See \u201cqueer\u201d as a term has become an umbrella that accommodates not only the type of sex you have and with whom, but also how you identify the sex you have, how you identify your personality, your aura, the ineffable je ne sais queer<\/em> that may or may not be related in any way to your sexuality, or even the way you present yourself to the world, but simply some deeply held, internal feeling. You don\u2019t actually need to share a common oppression or a common romantic or sexual behavior.<\/p>\n […]<\/p>\n The reason I mind is because queer, in functioning as a catchall, serves to obscure what it is about my life, my community, my partners, that I needed to learn to be proud of in the first place. Because for me and all the other lesbians I know, figuring out your sexuality is hard enough, but the real work is in accepting yourself, demanding acceptance from others, being willing to walk away when that acceptance is denied.<\/p>\n Lesbians are women, and women are taught that we\u2019re supposed to be sexually available objects of public consumption. So we spend a lot of time saying \u201cNo.\u201d No, we won\u2019t fuck or partner with men; no, we won\u2019t change our minds about this; no, this body is a no-man\u2019s land. Lesbian, straight or bi, women are punished whenever we try to assert a boundary. Queer as a catchall term makes it really hard for lesbians to assert and maintain this boundary, because it makes it impossible to name<\/em> this boundary.<\/p>\n Jocelyn Macdonald<\/a> on how the increasing dilution and commodification of “queer” as a label does little to serve the interests of the people to whom it was applied in the first place<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n \u2022 Two sets of live electronica from last year: Pye Corner Audio<\/a> at The State51 Factory, and Tangerine Dream<\/a> at Dekmantel.<\/p>\n \u2022 “LSD can get deep down and reset the brain\u2014like shaking up a snow globe,” says Amanda Fielding<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u2022\u00a0Ewan Wilson<\/a> on the impossible architecture of video\u00a0games.<\/p>\n \u2022 Mix of the week: Secret Thirteen Mix 279 by Marcos Cabral<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u2022 RIP Betty Ballantine<\/a>, Bruno Ganz<\/a> and Ken Nordine<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u2022 At Dennis Cooper’s: They will never exist<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u2022 Cosi Fanni Tutti<\/a>‘s favourite records.<\/p>\n \u2022 She Comes In Colors<\/a><\/em> (1967) by Love | Colors<\/a><\/em> (1969) by Pharoah Sanders | Balthus Bemused By Color (Mix II)<\/a><\/em> (1988) by Harold Budd<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Colors (1967) by Ken Nordine. \u2022 \u201cThe Do was the thing\u201d: a lengthy chat with Chuck Gould of the San Francisco\u00a0Diggers.
