We’re coming out, and we want the world to know… that not all gay men are born with an innate, all-encompassing love for disco, ok!? In fact, only 50% of Aural Fixation was, as we discover on a glitter ball-guided tour through 1980’s diana, by Diana Ross. Released in the disco revolution’s twilight years, diana was the Boss breaking free from the shackles of Motown, the record label which made her in the 60s, and was starting to break her. Helping her out were CHIC’s very own Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards, taste-making producers riding the wave of hit after hit, and when we say helping... if you ever wondered what a CHIC album would sound like with Diana Ross vocals, you’re in for quite the treat. This episode we look through a queer lens at one of pop culture’s biggest queer icons putting her spin on arguably the queerest sub-genre of music, ever, featuring a song literally written about people being their complete, authentic selves. Even if the singer wasn’t completely aware of that fact. Jump on in, we’re out-queering ourselves! Special thanks to Raymond Day for sharing so many valuable resources on the Disco Demolition/Disco Sucks movement, of which we would encourage you to explore yourself:“When a loudmouthed DJ tried to kill disco, the homophobic and racist implications were impossible to ignore” by Josh O’ConnorDisco Demolition by Red Bull Academy“Why 'Disco sucks!' sucked” by Ben MyersFollow us on Facebook, like us on Instagram, email us and don’t forget the Spotify companion playlist.
