In honor of Pride Month, here's the beginnings of a list of songs I'd love to sing in the Drag King karaoke bar of my dreams (in addition to the LGBTQ+ anthems I've posted recently):
--David Bowie, "Life on Mars?"
--Todd Rundgren, "Real Man"
--The Doors, "LA Woman"
Please feel free to comment with other songs you would add to this list!
Today's entry in my mental soundtrack to celebrate Pride in spite of everything damn it. Pete Shelley's audacious call to revolutionary queer love, with its equally audacious video.

On my mental soundtrack for Pride Month: Jimmy Somerville's gorgeous falsetto ringing out in protest against queerphobia, set to a video that broadens the protest to call out 1980s Thatcherist economic oppression. Both of which messages, sadly, apply to current events in the US.

Celebrating Pride Month via my mental soundtrack of songs that never fail to make me feel mighty real. RIP Sylvester, gone but far from forgotten - here's a terrific live performance with a wonderful slow-burn finish.

I don't usually mind my mental soundtrack doing its own thing, but Gaudeamus Igitur is not my idea of bedtime music.

A conversation with @handmade_ghost about "Waiting for Godot" reminded me of this brilliant music video for k.d. lang's stunning song "Constant Craving" - so that was more than enough excuse for that song to hop onto my mental soundtrack tonight.

Needed some musical mood mitigation on my mental soundtrack today, and the brain fetched up this old favorite chunk o punk-flavored gallows humor re the latest rapid accelerations in the decline and fall of "Western" civilization.
On my mental soundtrack tonight: a foreboding old classic, and yet another song of my youth that feels especially relevant today. RIP George.

Another ambivalent Christmas song from the holiday edition of my mental soundtrack ... which manages to find something meaningful amidst the ambivalence.

A favorite from my mental soundtrack of ambivalent Christmas songs.

This song has been stuck in my head for several days now thanks to a photo of Exene Cervenka and John Doe taken by Chris Stein that he posted to his BlueSky account. So now I'm passing the favor along to you all. Sorry not sorry.

On my mental soundtrack today: Frank Zappa RIP 31 years ago today. He would have had some appropriate snark for the current political crapfest. This little ditty is apropos.

Still not doing much beyond rattling around my apartment in gazelle-on-the-savannah anxiety alert mode, still not sure exactly what I can do in the wake of this election, let alone have the physical health for doing, but still hoping I can live up to the spirit of resistance in Mr Zimmerman's lines.

Mental soundtrack for current mood. No I won't run and hide, but there's no denying that feeling down in my gut.

Here's an old favorite of mine, kicked back onto my Mental Soundtrack due to some chat about Mesopotamia on @HulloItsIcy 's Twitch stream. Love me some TMBG

It's especially maddening when a song gets stuck in my head but I can't for the life of me remember the title or artist. Fortunately, searching on "well known jazz fusion instrumental 6/8 signature" found the info I needed to so I could post this lovely lilting piece to my mental soundtrack tag.

LOL my previous post featuring my Swayze-cat playing with his catnip banana inevitably led to this earworm getting lodged on my mental soundtrack - so now I share it with you all. You're welcome. 
On my mental soundtrack today as I contemplate national and world events and movements, and my feelings of anxiety and powerlessness over same.
Song ref, which has now taken up residence on my mental soundtrack for the day.
On my mental soundtrack the past few days - and my fellow Elder Scrolls Online addicts currently smashing through the Gold Road event with me will no doubt understand why.
