Featured Song – Day 25

25 Feb 2012 / 0 Comments / in LGBT History Month/by Readers Wifes

Sleazy old Suede were of course the early-‘90s gay Indie kids’ band of choice, so when their musical maestro Bernard Butler quit and hooked up with golden-throated heavenly body and ex-Thieves mainman David McAlmont the results were eagerly anticipated by the throngs of shell-toe wearing, Adidas-adorned scenesters down on the dancefloors of the newly-opened alternative night Popstarz. But it’s unlikely anybody expected anything quite this epic, quite so instantly classic-sounding. Strings swoop and soar, McAlmont gives the command performance of a lifetime and the whole thing just keeps building up and up skywards in what feels like a glorious homage to the kind of classic, Dusty-esque ‘60s pop they weren’t supposed to make anymore. Except they did!

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.
