June is Pride month and for Album ReCue, WFUV has asked LGBTQ+ musicians to tell us about their most loved albums those releases that inspired, soothed, empowered or galvanized them as artists.
Amelia Meath of
Cyndi Lauper s 1983 solo debut,
She s So Unusual. Listen to Alisa Ali s conversation with Meath in the player above.
Sylvan Esso s Amelia Meath says that she became attached to Cyndi Lauper s
She s So Unusual before she d even heard it. It was the photo of a carefree Lauper cavorting on the album s cover that drew her in. Meath, who was still quite young at the time, thought Lauper looked like a stone-cold-hot-queer freak, and she just really really liked this person.

For a year from 2007 to 2008, a group of British economists and environmentalists (including the Green MP Caroline Lucas, Larry Elliott of the Guardian and Andrew Simms of the New Economics Foundation) were pulled together by our convenor, Colin Hines.

The Internet is ruthless, and everyone is clueless. Where do artistes go from here?
What does the new normal mean for artistes? Already, through the second wave, I notice many of those who were reluctant to embrace the online medium have now taken to it and have been preparing to create and perform for the screen rather than the stage. Many of these efforts are clumsy, albeit sincere. The dramaturgist and the musician, the dancer and the critic all seem to be grappling to make sense of this new reality. Rubrics have to be reimagined, aesthetics resculpted, and an entirely new vocabulary for criticism and discourse have to be invented. None of us thought any of this would happen, yet it has, and we are unprepared. In the process all of us, including myself, are stuck for ways forward.
