Weekend Listening Post (+ links)
Aug. 16th, 2020 07:25 pmAll the Discourse surrounding Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion's WAP (which i have listened to, it's not bad but I'm not super into rap) lead me, courtesy of twitter, to discover the 1930s blues singer Lucille Bogan.
This is one of her less explicit pieces, but also, a significant Mood.
Still enjoying Taylor Swift and Namoli Brennet.
Podcasts and audio fiction: Finished the Garth Greenwell book, finally. Made a little headway with Paradise Lost. Listened to a French podcast L'anachronique culturelle, episode about King Lear, which wasn't extremely insightful but did suffice as listening practice. Also listened to the Spouter-Inn episode on Dante's Inferno, which was a joy.
More notably, I've finished s2 of Unwell, and am greatly enjoying the SCIENCE GHOSTS and the FAMILY DRAMA.
I have also listened to some of Uncanny Magazine's podcast (having been recommended Away with the Wolves by Sarah Gailey, and resumed Magnus Archives (with the s1 episode about the meatworks, ugh).
Some Links of Note:
Rachel Miller (Vice), A beginner's guide for "straight" women who want to act on Queer feelings. This contains mostly very good advice delivered sensitively and well, and some, IMHO, spectacularly poor advice as well!
Amanda E Herbert (History Workshop), Treble-Hearted: Queer Intimacies in Early Modern Britain. Describes a 17th c English Catholic ... triad. Of a sort (a sister, her brother, her friend who married her brother) that doesn't describe well in 21st c terms.
Eliza Robertson (Chicago Review), Who is "Inconspicuous Woman"? On reading, solitude and the space between.
Emily Temple (Lit Hub), Is this the end of writing in cafés?
Brendan Borrell (Audabon), The Parrot King. It is, it is, a glorious thing, to be a parrot king! And I don't usually read true crime but I would 100% read a full length true crime book on parrot crime.
