October 2011

Welcome to a very different edition of OutRadio. I'm calling it my "5-10-15 Show." It's my way of honoring what I consider the best music of 5, 10 and 15 years ago. Here's why I am doing this. I love doing Best of the Year shows, but I didn't start doing them until 2007, so a lot of terrific music did not get recognized, at least by me, in my own very subjective way. So this segment will honor the music by GLBT artists from 1996, and Parts 2 & 3 will do the same for 2001 and 2006.

Part 1 - 1996 - 62:06 Flirtations - Fun Fun Fun Rhythm Method - I'll Be Forever Loving You Sons & Lovers - If You Get Down at Christmas David Brown - Every Kiss Is A Revolution David Sereda - Powerful Love Foremen - I Think I'll Be a Homo Monica Grant - Boyfriend Michael Holland - Surrender Dorothy Mavis's - Do You Have a Brother? Pansy Division - Dick of Death Lisa Koch - Night at the Timberline Sid Spencer - Take Me Back Home Disappear Fear - Laws of Nature Wishing Chair - Sometimes Fred Hersch - Lush Life Brian Lane Green - Grateful Michael Callen - Love Worth Fighting For       [ click on the artist name for their website ]
