Hello, I'm Lady Charles and my debut album is out! Inspired by the glamorous art rock of David Bowie, Kate Bush and Genesis, the Indie fun of Of Montreal, Late of the Pier and MGMT, and the general strangeness of growing up in a world that doesn't really make sense. If you're interested and check it out, I hope you enjoy it. <3

🏳️‍🌈Pride Month Day 25: Sufjan Stevens 🏳️‍🌈

Sufjan Stevens is a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who has released 10 albums over the course of his career. His music has taken on many genres, from indie folk on "Seven Swans" to disco and electronica on "Age of Adz." He is also known for his fifty states project, for which he originally intended on releasing an album for every U.S. state. However, after releasing "Michigan" and "Illinois," he said that the project had become a joke. He contributed to the soundtrack for "Call Me By Your Name" in 2017. In 2024, "Illinois" was adapted into the musical "Illinoise" that debuted in January.

His most recent album "Javelin" was the first time Stevens publicly addressed his sexuality. He dedicated the album to his late parter Evans Richardson who had passed away in April. "Javelin" wasn't the first of his works to cause fans to speculate about his sexuality. "Call Me By Your Name" was a drama about a romance between two men, and in 2019 he released "Love Yourself" and "With My Whole Heart" in celebration of Pride Month. He was diagnosed with Guillain-Barré Syndrome in 2023.

Seeing Chappell Roan live was the cleansing, joyous experience I knew it would be!

I’m glad I brought my little old DSLR camera to get some decent shots of the performance - or rather, take clear video I can pause and screenshot! Will post a couple videos soon.

When I was 17, I left my hometown and I changed my name

(I bet your mom would be ashamed, I bet your mom would be ashamed)

I dyed my hair and pierced my nose, became the man I am today

(I bet your mom would be ashamed, I bet your mom would be ashamed)

The legacy of this largely-forgotten duo of the 1950s that that their reputation of being openly gay in the Lavender Scare era is attributed mostly by word of mouth. I found it very difficult to locate any primary sources on these two, but Queer Music Heritage found a few. A Detroit Free Press clipping on the pair identifies them as Charles Jones and Ray Williams of Mount Vernon, NY.

There's very little info on this duo - Queer Music Heritage and Darryl Bullock, unfortunately, both cite one another in their articles about the duo. QMH, however, pulled up several photos and newpaper clippings about the duo.

The men released several singles between 1954 and 1957, and made a significant stir in the doo-wop scenes in Detroit and New York. Their falsetto voices and reportedly high-energy performances were a staple of the musicians. You can hear the energy in their voices when they sing.
