Antony's new album, Swanlights, is amazing! Well, I guess I wouldn't expect otherwise!

I've been listening to the new OMD album non-stop! It's kind of a trip back to the 1980's, just that in the 80's I didn't know OMD!!! 

Here's the latest single, If You Want It

And the classic, Enola Gay

No matter how many million times I listen to this song, the initial melody is always refreshing!

Another documentary to pay attention to. This time on how the Church of Latter Day Saints (the Mormon church) financed the Proposition 8 campaign in California, which removed the right for same-sex couples to get married.

A couple of quotes from the trailer:

 - "We know the voice of the Lord, and when he wants us to do something, we know how to do it."

 - "You're not just talking about the law, you're talking about people."

 - "This is simple, this is just love."

Did you know that up to as late as the 1970's it was a crime to be a homosexual in the U.S.A.? Here's a documentary about the turning point, the beginning of the gay rights movement.
In a theatre near you (if you're lucky). Go check it out and learn some history.

Scissor Sisters - Fire With Fire
This is a rather catchy song, good for Summer!
Besides that, I quite like the video for its simplicity.

Memories from a cold birthday out in Manhattan when, for the first time, and only, I was given flowers.
