Description

Have you ever felt like you’re ever-so-slightly less-than? Do you ever get the sense that you’re living in someone else’s shadow? Have you, too, experienced that niggling sensation that there is somebody else – somebody more successful than you, more recognised, more universally revered – consistently beating you to the punch? OF COURSE YOU DO! You’re queer for christ sake, those feelings of inadequacy are literally engrained in us during childhood because of the systemic patriarchal dictatorship we’re born into! Aaaanyway, the silver lining that comes along with the feeling of never being quite good enough is that we get to identify with icons such as the legendary Miss Dannii Minogue. Persistently eclipsed by the dazzling fluorescence of her sister, the other Minogue has always struck a chord with members of the queer community due to her resillience and penchant for a filthy dancefloor banger. Neon Nights is her magnum opus. Fresh from the success of solo release "Who Do You Love Now?", Dannii worked with a swathe of dance producers to create an album that epitomises turn-of-the-century clubbing. Reminiscent of her fellow Class of 2003 alumni Stonebridge, and Angel City, Neon Nights boasts modern classics like "Put the Needle on It', "I Begin to Wonder" and "Don't Wanna Lose This Feeling". But how does the rest of the album stand up over 15 years later? It seems impossible to squeeze any more iconnery into one episode but somehow we've managed it, because this fortnight the boys are joined by bona fide pop prince Tom Aspaul. Known for collaborations with Viceroy and Aeble, and his I.C.O.N.I.C. cover of Brandy's "Full Moon", Tom pulled up a mic to discuss what Dannii means to him, and life as an out queer artist.

Aural Fixation is a queer music podcast that explores LGBTQI+ themes in music and pop culture. Released fortnightly on Thursdays, each instalment follows besties Drew and Andy as they discuss an album that is loved by queer people, made by queer artists, or speaks to queer experiences. British expats living and recording in Sydney, Drew and Andy bring a uniquely cross-genre and cross-hemispheric viewpoint to being gay and loving music, shared perhaps only by the Minogue sisters. Aural Fixation is recorded and produced by @with.all.drew.respect and @andrewdoyouthinkyouare.
