This is episode number 10 of Artful Thought, recorded live at the University of San Francisco’s KUSF studio, which aired on Saturday, June 29th, 2019.

This is Part 2, but not the finale, of a music-talk feature about the ongoing celebration and an address to current social issues of the LGBTQIA community. The mix consists of phenomenal new (and newish) artists as well as seminal figures, including Lou Reed, Le Tigre, Ezra Furman, Blood Orange, Girlpool feat Dev Hynes (aka Blood Orange), Dizzy Fae, Courtney Barnett, Ssion, Troye Sivan, RuPaul feat. Kummerspeck, Janelle Monáe, Planningtorock and KUSF currents: Lucille Furs, Amyl + the Sniffers, Soak, and Razteria.

Between Pride Parts 1 and 2, I do a scattering of commentary on music from decades starting from the 1920s to current, as well as historical/cultural landmarks, including the “Lavender Scare,” and personal ponderings about the other “Q.” Both episodes come back to engaging with an ongoing question about gender-sexuality exploration while respecting boundaries that refrain from Queer appropriation.

Also, as chatted about, but not deeply dove into, I referenced some enlightening sources on Queer culture and how the history of LGBTQIA came into the movement as we understand it today. Those references and others are...

The podcast, Making Gay History
Getting Curious with Jonathan Van Ness's episode "What's Your Experience with the Binary?" featuring Alok Vaid-Menon
NPR podcast, Throughline's episode "Before Stonewall"
Ellen Page and Ian Daniel's docu-series Gaycation
And, because there was either not enough time on my show or because of certain USF boundaries with language discretion, I wasn't able to share some artists' songs on my mix over the live airwaves. But, in case you missed the entire show or just the songs I didn't include, please do check out their music on my Spotify playlist (*not-aired starts at "Touch" by Shura)...
