Bright Light Bright Light featuring Mark Gatiss - Next To You
2020
Rod Thomas is a Welsh independent singer-songwriter, based in New York. He incorporates many elements of nu-disco into his music, also branching into synthpop, dance and house music. Two of his albums have reached the top 20 on the UK Independent Albums Chart. Thomas chose the stage name Bright Light Bright Light from a quote spoken by the character Gizmo in the 1984 movie Gremlins.
His fourth album Fun City was a number 1 UK Dance Album hit on its release in September 2020 receiving widespread critical acclaim, and it features a slew of LGBTQ+ talent adding their vocals. Actor/director/writer Mark Gatiss (known from Sherlock) added a spoken word piece on "Next To You". Thomas had previously worked with Gatiss by composing the theme tune for Gatiss's BBC4 series Queers, and appearing as an extra in Gatiss's tv series The League of Gentlemen.
"Next To You" received a total of 38,5% yes votes.

On The Jukebox: Bright Light Bright Light - "Enjoy Youth (Deluxe Edition)"
Featuring guest appearances from Berri (on "Snap!"), Ultra Nate (on "Every Emotion"), Mykal Kilgore (on "Heartslap"), Beth Hirsch (on "Enjoy Youth") and Megan Vice (on "Return To Me").
[The cover I'm using is actually that of the standard edition as I was unable to find a suitable version of the cover for the deluxe edition. The only real difference between the two editions is that the background for the deluxe edition is grey as opposed to this version's background being pink.]

Hey, so how about a song by a self-identifying queer musician written as an ode to a friend's dog that he would look after sometimes?

In the Shess region of the centaur homeplanet, a popular kind of hand-to-hand combat sport is ngthan, which is often held for inter-clan tournaments as well as intra-clan duels. Ngthan combatants have elaborately carved mouth guards that cover a large portion of the face and jaw and usually feature brightly painted, exaggerated teeth and snarls.
The fighters are otherwise nude except for a band around their rear waist that has flags tucked into it. The goal of the battle is to grab all of the flags off of your opponent. Ngthan fights are generally held in late spring in dedicated amphitheaters, as they attract large crowds. Radio coverage of these events (and after first contact with other aliens, streaming) is extremely popular.
