Quest - Got Me Good (Queer-friendly boyband)

Song of the day is "Got Me Good" by the new Swedish boyband Quest consisting of Oscar Landgren, Marvin Arnet, Isak Sköld and Alexander Malinao. What makes this band so unique is that they're queer-friendly, with two openly gay members and gender neutral lyrics that everyone can relate to. We sure need more of that.

Plus, the song, produced by Alexander Laitila and Andreas Krüger, is a great mixture of modern pop and R&B, just the way we like it. Check out the video down below and support the song by getting it on iTunes, Amazon UK, Amazon US or streaming it on Spotify.

Kylie herself celebrated the day by releasing a video for the title track of her latest album "Golden". Check it out down below. A big happy birthday to Kylie!

Margot Kidder has died

Photo: United Artists, 1969

I was so sad to hear that Canadian-born actress Margot Kidder has passed away, sixty-nine years old. I was a big fan of her work. I first started following her career as a kid, watching the "Superman" movies. Lois Lane was my favourite character and made me interested in journalism.

As a teen, I started watching horror movies and fell madly in love with the classics "Black Christmas" (1974) and "The Amityville Horror" (1976) which both starred Margot. Her character in the former, the loud-mouthed Barb, is still one of my favourite movie characters of all time.

It was also great to see her in a small but memorable role on the amazing TV series "Brothers & Sisters", playing a dear friend of Sally Field's character Nora. As an adult, I also learned that Margot voiced the character of Gaia in the animated series "Captain Planet And The Planeteers" which I had loved as a kid.

To me, Margot always came off as being strong and independent, never afraid to speak up against injustices. I was glad to read that she was a supporter of LGBT rights and an anti-war advocate. Rest in peace, Margot. You will be greatly missed.

I would like to end with a funny 2008 quote by Margot, taken from the LGBT publication The Advocate.

"I'm not choosy at all! I'll do practically anything. I'm the biggest whore on the block. I live in a little town in Montana, and you have to drag me out of here to get to L.A., so I'm not readily available. But unless it's something sexist or cruel, I just love to work. I've done all sorts of things, but you just haven't seen them because they're often very bad and shown at 4 in the morning."

"I ain't gonna hold on to these monsters anymore"

New additions in my record collection: "Wild Wild Wonderland" by Saara Aalto, remastered reissue of "Bear Witness" by Australian pop band I'm Talking, "Eurovision Song Contest 2018", "Mise À Jour" by M. Pokora and finally the rare soundtrack to the 1985 movie "Perfect" which includes loads of great eighties gems.



"Best Of/The Platinum Collection" by Enigma, "The Best Singles" by Mike Mareen, reissue of "Patti Austin" by Patti Austin, "Energy, Love And Unity" by Nice & Wild, "Girl Fight Tonight!" by Julie Brown, "Get Over" by Nick Scotti, "I Do" by Fabrizio Faniello, "Surrender" by Javine and finally "Angelica" by Steven Zachary.

"Send me an angel right now"

New additions in my record collection: "Tricia Leigh Fisher" (PWL produced) by Tricia Leigh Fisher, "Find Out" by Steven Dante, "Kevin Paige" by Kevin Paige, "Send Me An Angel (Best Of Real Life)" by Real Life, "Pink" by Miss Papaya, "Desert Wind" by Ofra Haza, "The Man In Me" and "Tell Me" by Shane (Jörgen Elofsson) and "Best Of My Love" by Samantha Jade.
