MEN Is A Very Gay Dance Rock Record For Queers By Queers


JD Samson is a butch lesbian responsible for Le Tigre. Perhaps Sia, her girlfriend, has had some profound influence on her because she's banded up with two other (presumably) lezzies for a gender-queer dance pop group called MEN. It's out on February 1 and this is the first track on the record and my favorite. The rest is not as stylistically challenging. Some of the lyricism is corny "Take your shirt off, don't take your shirt off, take your shirt off, don't take your shiiiirrrt off," for one. And "I'm gonna fuck my friends, I'm gonna fuck my friends" for another. But it's queers making queer dance music for queers. Can't beat that.
