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.

Yeah, "form fitting" is a good one. I told Iraya/Aloofa what you said while she was DJing the other night and she was all, "No way! That's so great. Tell her thanks." another reason for you to visit SF, you can meet Sta-Prest. and they've been talking reunion now that Feelings on a Grid broke up.

She said that the response in Germany for that single was huge for some reason and that it got really good reviews there. Huge in a relative sense, of course.
