Have One On Me • Joanna Newsom

30 Mar 2010 / Comments Off / in Music/by Christopher Bryant

[rating=5]
Released on March 1, 2010

Unique, unpredictable and impressive, Joanna Newson’s Have One On Me is a vituoso peformance.

Have One On Me is issued as a triple album. Dividing it into three CDs was an astute move, even when it would have fit comfortably onto two. Newsom has said that it is divided “in terms of morning, noon and night, although that wasn’t the concept when the album was written but the way that the narrative progresses”.

22 Mar 2010 / Comments Off / in Clementine: The Living Fashion Doll/by Clementine the Living Fashion Doll

Clementine provides “light relief” …

Clementine the Living Fashion Doll extends an invitation to Lingering Whispers, an exhibition at the St Pancras Gallery in central London from the 6th May to the 6th June, 2010.

I am releasing a Clementine Fashion Doll at the event. Yes! It will be your chance to possess me without any danger of legal repercussions. (You know who you are.)

Gay Couple Turned Away from B&B

22 Mar 2010 / Comments Off / in Bulletin Board/by Editor

Christian B&B owners want to have their cake and eat it.

Once again a Soldier of Christ thinks they are above the law.

Round ‘em up, put ‘em in a field and bomb the bastards!

19 Mar 2010 / Comments Off / in Editorial/by Editor

Another American General sounds off like an idiot, I see.

Former General John Sheehan Blames 1995 Massacre on the Presence of Gay Soldiers.

Sheehan does not have an easy time of it with the English language.

Villains: Tony the Messiah and the Anti-Gay U.S. Preachers

16 Mar 2010 / Comments Off / in Heroes & Villains/by Rebel Scum

A critique of the Tony Blair Faith Foundation.

Why, asks Rebel Scum, is Tony Blair Faith Foundation forging links with the Christian Right in the United States? Is the soldier of Christ once again at war with the idea of democracy, and displacing it in favour of “faith factors”?

The militaristic Blair, a soldier of Christ, calls this latest mission a “faith offensive”. There is something rather apt about that phrase.

Soho Stories • Clayton Littlewood on David Shenton

16 Mar 2010 / Comments Off / in soho stories/by Clayton Littlewood

Clayton Littlewood’s Soho Stories: David Shenton.

Clayton writes about an exhibition at the Drill Hall by the cartoonist, David Shenton.

I first saw Shenton’s cartoons in the weekly gay newspaper Capital Gay back in the early 80’s. They were funny, thought-provoking, depicting a world of check shirt and leather-clad clones.

The Leather Boys (1961) • Gillian Freeman

12 Mar 2010 / Comments Off / in Classics: Books/by Christopher Brocklebank

[rating=3]
275 pages • Anthony Blond • 1961 [PB]

A gay love story about young working-class men, for a change (or at least it was back in the ’60s.)

The Leather Boys is a 1961 London pulp novel by Gillian Freeman, and later made into a New Wave Brit flick in 1963 by the aptly named Sidney Furie. It is about two late-teen, working-class, south London ton-up biker boys who find themselves surprised, unnerved & ultimately confused to discover they’re in love with each other.

The Movie Songbook • Sharleen Spiteri

09 Mar 2010 / Comments Off / in Music/by Nick Smith

[rating=4]
Released on March 1, 2010

Surprising and impressive, Sharleen Spiteri’s The Movie Songbook is a hit.

She has proven with this album that she can more than handle formerly unexplored territory. The incredible, aching vocal on ‘Windmills Of Your Mind’ is the perfect foreground for the bossa-nova beat underpinning the track.

Clementine on Danny La Rue

Soho Stories • Clayton Littlewood on Soft Cell

08 Mar 2010 / Comments Off / in soho stories/by Clayton Littlewood

Clayton Littlewood’s Soho Stories: Soft Cell and Lady Gaga

Clayton writes about the joys of Soft Cell and the inspiration of Lady Gaga.

He tells me where the early Soft Cell videos were filmed (around Walkers Court), about recording in Trident (which is just up the road on St Anne’s Court), a studio where Bowie and Bolan once recorded.

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.
