if you were going to make a queer punk/queercore primer mix for someone who was completely unfamiliar with the genre, what essential songs would need to go on it? i mean the songs you'd absolutely need to hear to get a sense of what queercore is about.

a lot of my problem is not knowing what song to use, but here's a list of bands so far:

team dresch (fagetarian & dyke? growing up in springfield?)
huggybear (herjazz?)
the third sex (definition? roy? love in the basement?)
los crudos
bikini kill (rebel girl? suck my left one?)
pansy division
spitboy (in tradition?)
s-k (a real man? call the doctor? joey ramone?)
fifth column
god is my co-pilot (i'm pretty sure i'm using queer disco anthem)
the need (rim me isabella?)
heavens to betsy (she's the one? or maybe i'm just partial to that song)
tribe 8
longstocking
behead the prophet nlsl

i was also thinking of that cwa song "only straight girls wear dresses." anyway, suggest songs for above bands or suggest songs by other bands. thanks.

elliot had suggested fagatron to me. he suggested some other ones that i didn't know too, so they're not on this list 'cause i'm not sure i can find their stuff to put on the mix. but i have them written down at home & will keep looking.

sevenwhateverteen, TOTALS. how could i forget. hmm, i will think about freewheel. i was leaning towards growing up in springfield, mostly due to lyrical content.

get well so we can hang out soon!

i know! being sick sucks! i am totally being bedridden today.

"I love hardcore boys! I love boys hardcore!" - limpwrist kick fucking ass. if y'all are down, try to download "just say go!" by the swarm. It's a cover of seminal NY 80s Queercore band GO! It's fucking amazing, if only for the final charismatic ending of "FAGS ROCK!". If you can't find it, lemme know I'll rip and send it to y'all.
