Matt Fennemore talks David Wojnarowic.

Michael Langan talks to performance artist Matt Fennemore about the queer arts pioneer David Wojnarowicz, whose work has inspired his new piece, You Killed Me First!

“Film-maker, performer, photographer, iconoclast, AIDS campaigner and all-round agent provocateur, Wojnarowicz belonged to an age when to be gay, queer, or whatever you want to call it, was to be fighting a constant battle against prejudice, bigotry and, as a matter of life and death, striving for human rights.”

The Truth About Love • Pink

  • P!nk The Truth About Love
20 Sep 2012 / Comments Off / in Music/by Little Bastard

[rating=3]
Released September 14, 2012, RCA

The new album from Pink, The Truth About Love, has its moments, but is nothing remarkable, and fairly bland in one too many places.

“Pink manages to capture my feelings about the walk of shame completely, coming across like a slightly soiled Katy Perry, still smelling of JD and cigarette smoke, and I’m more than happy with that.”

The Spirit Indestructible • Nelly Furtado

  • Nelly Furtado The Spirit Indestructible
20 Sep 2012 / Comments Off / in Music/by Little Bastard

[rating=4]
Released September 14, 2012, Mosley / Interscope

Nelly Furtado is more herself on The Spirit Indestructible and is well matched working with R’n’B legend Rodney Jerkins.

“Working with Rodney Jerkins was a smart move, as he’s allowed her songs to flourish without being drowned in style. He’s also musically innovative enough to cope with Nelly’s quirky and alternative writing style.”

Lauderdale House, Highgate Hill, London, N6 5HG • September 19 -30

Bryon Fear is impressed by the haunting images in Dan Hall’s photography.

20 Sep 2012 / Comments Off / in Music/by Andrew Darley

[rating=4]
Released September 03, 2012, Matador

Cat Power’s ninth studio album, Sun, is emotionally powerful and as life-affirming as its title.

“Sun stands tall as an album eloquently informed by emotional experience and maturity.”

Great Expectations • Charles Dickens

  • Great Expectations Charles Dickens Penguin English Library
20 Sep 2012 / Comments Off / in Classics: Books/by Christopher Bryant

[rating=5]
592 pages • Penguin • 26 April, 2012 [HB], originally Chapman & Hall • 1861

Great Expectations is a glorious, mesmerising book about hope, and how that hope is used against people by those who have been disappointed.

“This tale of great promise, and the disappointment of that promise, is extraordinarily powerful. Throughout his work, Dickens is interested in how people are created by circumstance, as well as the characters that wield circumstance to their own ends.”

Tori Amos • Gold Dust

  • Tori Amos Gold Dust review, sounds good on iPhone 5 and iOS6
20 Sep 2012 / Comments Off / in Music/by Nick Smith

[rating=5]
Released October 01, 2012, Deutsche Grammophon

Nick Smith finds the new Tori Amos album Gold Dust, a reinterpretation of her songs arranged with an orchestra, to be both magnificent and enchanting.

“Gold Dust is a cathartic journey through Amos’s mindmap and is a truly captivating and earnest affair. The powerful lyrics, the stunning orchestral arrangements and that beautiful, haunting voice form a superb testament to one of the most distinctive sonic architects of our time.”

When Rugby Stopped Being Sexy

  • Scott De Buitléir
19 Sep 2012 / Comments Off / in Relationships/by Scott De Buitleir

Tough Balls.

Scott De Buitléir learns the truth about rugby, but still keeps his eye open for a handsome winger …

“If anyone ever thought rugby is sexy, they need to try playing it themselves. It’s not – whatever you may think about the players off the pitch. Every bit of me hurt.”

About Polari Magazine

Polari Magazine is an LGBT arts and culture magazine that explores the subculture by looking at what is important to the people who are in it. It’s about the lives we lead, not the lifestyles we’re supposed to lead.

Its content is informed & insightful, and features a diverse range of writers from every section of the community. Its intent is to help LGBT readers learn about their own heritage and to sustain a link between the present and the past.

Polari is designed to nurture the idea of community, whether that be social and political, or artistic and creative. It is your magazine, whether you want to read it, or whether you want to get involved in it, if you're gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans, or queer.

Polari Magazine is all these: it's a gay online magazine; it's a gay and lesbian online magazine; it's an LGBT arts and culture magazine. Ultimately, it is a queer magazine.
