#queer Berlin

Me? Reading about queer history in 1920s Germany? It's more likely than you think!

I released a new song on Friday, it’s been an interesting experience putting stuff out there and I’ve gotten all kinds of responses. Some people think it’s great and well produced, some people think it’s boring and stupid, some people told me I was going to hell and some added it to their radio station lineups. Personally I think it’s fun to finally do something again that kind of exists in the world, but it’s going to take some time to carve a niche and feel like I have a thing going or know what I’m doing with it. Before 2020 I had finally found a place in the world that made sense to me, traveling and performing my incredibly strange little mix of performance art, poetry and experimental music, building something where I was actually getting paid for it, collaborating with and giving opportunities to others when I could, it felt like a vocation - I had something of meaning to offer the world, and the world accepted. Something I was blessed to learn in the past few years is that I still have value even when I don’t have something to offer, and I’ve gained some needed distance between my sense of self and my artistic output. But I’d like to find more of a place amongst others again, within my new limitations and outlooks. So that’s what I’m up to. Hope it resonates with some. You can hear the new project here:

October 18 2023 Today’s headline could be queer expression in Berlin. At first, I went to get a tattoo I have wanted for 12 years and the tattoo artist that accepted my idea had a rainbow flag in her studio (I never got to ask if she is queer). Then I went with a tumblr mutual (met at the käärijä gig on Monday) to the gay museum. That was a match made in heaven since they loved talking about german queers and I loved learning about it. This one volunteer was adorable he kept humming happily when making coffee.

SUBLIME CINEMA #681 -KOKOMO CITY

D. Smith was homeless when she started shooting this documentary about the sex industry, and we can sense the fury and rawness of the conditions under which this film was made. Art can sometimes be a savior.

But not for everybody. Koko, one of the main subjects of this movie was murdered soon after filming - the victim of a hate crime. The film is dedicated to her.

New music coming out Friday! You can pre-save it on Spotify at the link 🖤

The Heart And The Bone combines cold, wind-swept instrumentation and intimately rough vocals in a bittersweet electronic ballad of resilience and survival. Dedicated to transgender people in the United States who are fighting against growing social and legal repression, The Heart And The Bone offers an embrace to anyone who has felt the loneliness and desperation of being an “outcast” and has clung to the beauty of life, against the odds.
