Living with Lesbians

Alix Dobkin's seminal album, Living with Lesbians, feat. The Lesbian Power Authority is a lost gem. Alix is still touring and promoting MY RED BLOOD, A Memoir of Growing Up Communist, Coming Onto the Greenwich Village Folk Scene, & Coming Out in the Feminist Movement, a catchy title that really puts you in the picture about Growing Up Communist, Coming Onto the Greenwich Village Folk Scene, & Coming Out in the Feminist Movement, which will certainly strike a chord with many of the Weasel's regular contributors.

"Alix Dobkin...pioneered lesbian music with uncompromising, intimate songs"
The New York Times Magazine

And so it behoves me to pay tribute to the pioneer of lesbian music with an unpublished lesbian genre demo cassette I found in my favourite womyn's bookstore. Sadly, it it only a really bad cover version of the original Dobkin song, done by Duane Bundy and Earl Biedermeyer from their cell in the Louisiana State Penitentiary.

Very quirky voice, if not a little wistful. Thanks for this post, it brightened up my afternoon.
