Queer Musicians that I Love and You Should too

I’m gay and I’m just in the mood to gush about music so here are some queer artists I wanna recommend:

Yves Tumor (they/them, nonbinary)

I first heard of them when their latest album Heaven To A Tortured Mind starting getting good reviews from critics, but it was their recent EP, The Asymptotical World, that made them a staple on my playlists. They make rock music like no other I’ve heard, every song is like an explosion. Go listen to their song Jackie and try not to have it on repeat for the rest of your week. 

Adrianne Lenker (she/her, queer)

She’s widely known as the singer in the band Big Thief, but I mostly know her for her soothing solo music. Her songs make me want to wander barefoot through a forest in spring, picking flowers and berries and making friends with the unknown. I really love her song anything, it gives me peace. 

Dorian Electra (they/them, genderfluid)

C’mon, I physically can’t talk about my favorite artists without bringing up Dorian. They’re a hyperpop extraordinaire, a drag king, a Lady Gaga remixer, and the maker of the funniest music video in history. A lot of their music criticizes forms of toxic masculinity and celebrates queerness and being a fucking weirdo. No song covers those topics all together better than their song Flamboyant, a song about going all the way. 

Teddy Geiger (she/her, trans woman)

I remember listening to her sometimes years ago, before she came out and she has a few hits from then. I actually rediscovered her while making this post, and it looks like she’s trying to make a comeback in the music industry, and I much prefer her newer stuff over her old songs. They all have a kind of “vibe” to them, pretty noticeable in the song Sharkbait, that I really fuck with. 

Remi Wolf (she/her, bisexual)

With Remi releasing her new album Juno in the next few days, now’s the perfect time to get into her music. Her song Photo ID blew up a bit on Tik Tok, and all her other tracks are just as earwormy (and if you’ve seen the music video, they’re all just as strange). Guerilla is probably my favorite of the singles for her new album so far. 

Issac Dunbar (he/him, gay) 

AKA an 18-year old who has more talent than I’ll have at any age. Especially for being so young, this guy puts so much effort into his music, the videos for it, and the personal lyrics that I’m shocked he’s not raking in fans. His music is honeslty way better than most pop that’s on the radio right now, Makeup Drawer is my current favorite of his but he has so many great songs. 

Glass Beach (¾ members are nonbinary and use they/them pronouns)

This band, this fucking band, needs so much more love. They made an album that touches on the topics of anti-capitalism, gender dysphoria, rats, being a depressed young adult, and it’s all punk rock that combines other genres such as ambient, electronic, and even jazz. AND it was inspired by The Black Parade? These guys are awesome, go listen to the masterpiece that is classic j dies and goes to hell part 1.

Anyway, if y’all wanna recommend queer musicians too go ahead, I love discovering new music and supporting queer people, especially when music has taken a hard hit due to the pandemic.

A Mini Guide to RSS Feeds

With all the talk about Twitter and social media going on, I felt really inspired to do a comic about RSS feeds. This is a really barebones guide but I hope it helps you stay updated with your favourite webcomics, artists and websites. The nice thing about RSS feeds is that almost any kind of site has one, so if you wanted you could add user feeds from tumblr, twitter, mastodon, etc. here’s some helpful guides on how to add those (1) (2) I hope you found this little guide helpful. I’m just a simple guy who’s passionate about RSS feeds, comics and staying updated using both. Go forth and make the feed of your dreams! Topaz Comics | Topaz Comics RSS | Art Blog | Art Blog RSS

A comic about a childhood favourite toy <3

I drew this at the very start of COVID lockdown 1.0. Things were very surreal and I was in a very sentimental mood - unsure on when /if I'd see my family again. It made me appreciate any tie to normalcy I had.
