May 2nd, 2011 Broadcast: More For the Same (but different)
Last week I didn’t write about the program because I thought it was going to be a pretty basic show. Turns out I became mighty upset about the disparity that:
MOST BANDS ARE COMPRISED ENTIRELY OF DUDES, GUYS, BROS, WHAT HAVE YOU
Even within a community that is semi-conscious of this, there needs to be more encouragement for ladies, womyn, queer, trans individuals to have a band.
STOP WATCHING YOUR BOYFRIEND PLAY MUSIC- DUMP HIM AND START A BAND
So, without announcing it over the internet, Late Nights for the Longing is going to set for itself a standard of playing more music female-bodied, queer, trans, awesome individuals. Not exclusively BUT the goal is to make notice a more diverse and well-rounded variety of music for our listeners (which is you, silly).
Anyway, that trend is continuing. I’m also going to make a point to play more music from Canada, because our neighboring country (if you’re in/around America) is exploding with amazing music.
Crystal from My Friend Wallis has a band that she just sent her recordings of. It’s called DAD and it’s really cool drone-electronic-experimental-jam music. It’s wonderful.
With Love,
