Beverly Glenn-Copeland – Beverly Copeland (1970, Canada)

Because we need a bit more Canadian content - and because now (as always) is the perfect time to celebrate and support our brilliant trans artists - our next spotlight is on number 478 on The List, submitted by myself. This is the stunning dark folk/modal jazz debut album from Glenn Copeland (recording under the name Beverly Glenn-Copeland), who enjoyed a late but much deserved spotlight a few years ago when his 1986 new age/early techno electronic album Keyboard Fantasies fell into the hands of a record collector and shop owner in Japan.

Thanks to the #MutualAid community on TikTok, my partner, our two cats, and I are able to leave the extended stay hotel we’ve been struggling to stay sheltered in, and now have an #RV to call home.
I’ve started a playlist with RV-based content as a positive turn-around to hopefully come back from this #depression and share our experiences:

As a #disabled #queer #artist who makes #AltRock music, art, and does other projects to earn a living, I’d sincerely appreciate any support; especially through streaming my music, getting merch or custom art from me, and supporting ( @magicalgrrrl ) my partner’s music and merch.
I currently have a children’s #storybook that I wrote and illustrated, on hold for (self)publication. It is a family-friendly book about my experiences with #homelessness stemming from childhood #abuse from the perspective of a cat.
I’m also slowly but surely working on an #autobiography about my experiences being #ActuallyAutistic with #CPTSD in hopes of reaching other people with similar stories. #Trauma and #HealingTrauma is also the main point of my music.
If you decide to check out the music, get some art, or some merch, thank you!!

Continued thread

#AntiDoomPosting

The Pink and Black has been a work the Dog Park Dissidents have been building since 2017, with each EP taking their lyrical and musical styles to new places and refining their performance. It was released in 2023, and has had an influence on discourse and queer culture online and in the US, even if you didn't realize it.

Their most famous single, "Queer as in Fuck You" is about reclaiming radical queer liberation from the co-opting and pacifying of the movement.

It ends with its thesis statement that is an earworm:
"Not gay as in happy, but queer as in fuck you." As they chant it, raising the volume and screaming it out, audiences can't help but feel the power and join in.

The lyrics of the song are about rejecting the neoliberal recapture of the gay lib movement. During the late 00s and 10s, money and resources were poured into the Human Rights Campaign and other nonprofits that focused on marriage equality and hate crime laws to the exclusion of all else. The result were politics that emphasized assimilation and tossed anyone who wasn't white, cis, and middle class under the bus.

"Since I can file taxes with a same-gender spouse,
I shouldn't feel so bad getting kicked out of my house."

"You want to celebrate a gay man on your cable TV,
While trans lesbians of color dig in garbage just to eat."

This is the problem. This is how those that captured the movement and messaging for more than decade failed us and why many of them are betraying us now.

"Don't sell me a rainbow,
Your market's never done shit for me"

This is the core problem: neoliberalization is the process by which we replace community, solidarity, and actual governance with market logics, consumerism, and privatization of public goods. This is what Pride became and the markets that we've let take over our movement orgs are the problem.

"I don't want to be equal.
'Cause I know I'm fuckin' better than you.
Your moderation is lethal.
Get out of my way, let me do what I need to."

Let this ethos give you power - moderation and assimilation has been killing us. Every queer person I know is so fucking amazing, beautiful, and powerful beyond what I used to think was possible. Take pride in us and let's fucking do what we need to do.

And remember, the only colors we really "need are the pink and the black."

#AntiDoomPosting with queer punk rock!

So, why is "The Pink and the Black Album" by the Dog Park Dissidents one of the two best punk albums of the last five years?

dogparkdissidents.com/music/th

The TLDR is: it will provoke you, it will excite you, it will challenge you - and there is not a single wasted moment on the entire album. Like London Calling by the Clash, this is an album with a diversity of moods and styles where you don't want to skip a single track. Also, it's queer and trans folks who unapologetically wear pup play masks.

I don’t share my music on here enough :ablobcatcoffee:

This is my first EP, “Burning Mind” with three instrumental songs about various aspects of my ptsd: and a hint of autism.

I’ve been told these specific tracks remind folks of #StardewValley & #Minecraft, if that gives you any idea of what they sound like.. boosts appreciated!
