Jolene (33 R.P.M) – click for .mp3
Unsure where this came from, if not the palsied hands of the good Lord himself.
Simple premise: Dolly Parton’s “Jolene” slipped from 45 to 33 rpm. Nothing more; no studio trickery, no trip hop drum breaks. The guitar lopes back in and around itself. The bass becomes elastic, hot rubber. The violin stabs become sustained cello lines. The backing choir’s split harmony rattles around, slinking ghostly into the corner. And most importantly, Parton’s once-frantic vocal is transformed from bubblegum country scrawl into something approximating field holler reverence.
An already perfect song made transcendental..

I lay my heart down with the rest at her feet.”

the manic pixie dream girl trope but i’ve subverted it and it’s for lesbians now sorry straight boys
harold, they’re lesbians (swing for gay ladies)
the soundtrack to the lesbian romcom we haven’t got but should keep rallying for
the twentygayteen masterlist (every gay song released this year)
indie pop but it’s like…vaguely gay and makes me think about cute girls
very gay music from the 70s and 80s
La Vie En Rose playing from another room

Bad Suns // Daft Pretty Boys
Like the gates of heaven are open now
And my one true love has just waltzed right out
Yeah, there’s one thing about me that you should know
That I can’t help from speaking my mind
