You've been out and singing about it for a long time now – what are the biggest changes you've noticed?
Definitely the integration into mainstream. When I started performing as a "Lesbian-feminist singer-songwriter... Continue reading ...

 What name/s are you using at the moment? -it used to be SIN864, then :drunk:, and now it’s FEEL Street art’s inherently a controversial topic because of the legality issue - what’s your personal take on it?
-i’m
on my own program so i don’t care if it’s legal or not. I like to draw
and design beyond paper and walls just happen to be there for me to
color on. How do you walk the line between anonymity and fame when you’re a street artist?
-i
dont care about fame. i’m just get... Continue reading ...

Poetry
South Africans in Jozi and Cape Town got a chance to see Alix Olson at the Out In Africa film festival in 2007, where she talked about the documentary about her, Left Lane on the Road
and performed some of her amazing poetry. If you haven't read/heard her
words, you really need to. Consider that a direct order. (Over a year
later, I interviewed her by email). Obama – what does his victory mean for you?Obama's
victory initially imbued me with a renewed faith in the American public
- that we h...

Author,
activist, slam poet, facilitator, blogger, singer and scientist … and
there’s enough in print and online for even a faraway South African to
make researching you a full-time job - where on earth do you get the
time and energy?
Well, I’m kind of naturally hyperactive I
suppose. Plus I often have insomnia, which really helps create extra
time (although it’s not so helpful with regards to energy).
I should
also say that while I do or have done all of the things you mentioned,
I don... Continue reading ...

Comedy
Maggie Faris, according to some, is “just a fat old lady into
extreme sports.” According to America’s lesbian Curve Magazine, she’s
also one of the top 100 funniest lesbians. I first stumbled across
this extreme Maggie-ness on a wordpress blog, then I wandered across to
her website and decided the most appropriate word for all of it was
“offbeat.” I like offbeat. Offbeat doesn’t dress like society wants
it to it’s well outside of the mainstream and doesn’t care. Offbea... Continue reading ...

 Aquila Wolf-Wild: The Lesbian Love Junkie
Actually she’s The Lesbian Love Junkie, an Australian
singer and, believe it or not, lesbian. Feel free at any point in this
interview, to listen to her latest song. It won’t cost you a cent and
I guarantee it’ll make you grin. It’s a brilliant stage name, isn’t
it? You’ll find her on Facebook as Aquila Wolf-Wild. Finger right on
the pulse of lesbian culture there and I’m convinced it’s ideal for a
t-shirt (she says underwear firs... Continue reading ...

The Band Kenelis
Ulla Kelly interviews Mel Sanson of the band Kenelis
Please give me 3 words to describe your band.
Distortion, delay and deranged.
Which song would you like a Kenelis-virgin to listen to first and why?
Give her the gun, it’s my favourite album track and we’re giving it for free until our second single is released at xmas!! It’s a song that you can picture a story to, a very real story with an ambiguous ending… It’s angry but melancholic... | |
