The Second Installment of Lavender Scare brings you WFMU DJ (Check out his show Polyglot), journalist, and international man of mystery Jesse Dorris. Jesse curated some ~rare~ and ~risqué~ 7's for your listening pleasure, musing on topics such as fisting, femmes in leather jackets, love at all stages, and of course, Anohni covering Beyoncé. Jesse spins until ~1:03:19, I provide some disco in the middle, and Jesse finishes out the set starting ~2:14:47. Enjoy the set sandwich, where the bread is always better than the filling.

"A quick translation of the performance principle would cast it as the way in which a repressive social order is set in place by limiting the forms and quantity of pleasure that the human is allowed. The performance principle is the way in which the dynamism between the pleasure principle and the reality principle are ordered." - Muñoz, "Cruising Utopia: The Then and There of Queer Futurity", p. 134 

"Men do not lead their own lives but perform pre-established functions. While they work, they do not fulfill their own needs and faculties but live in alienation." - Marcuse, "Eros and Civilization", p. 45 

"Queerness, as I am describing it here, is more than just sexuality. It is this great refusal of a performance principle that allows the human to feel and know not only our work and our pleasure but also our selves and others." 
- Muñoz, "Cruising Utopia: The Then and There of Queer Futurity", p. 135

Sparkle Motion is the musical endeavor of Conner Chase. Founded in 2013 and currently based out of Brooklyn, New York, Sparkle Motion creates a hypnotic atmosphere of dark and frenetic dance by drawing on the production styles of eighties minimalist synth music and the hallucinatory neon of a gay nightclub. The forthcoming album, Performance Principle, celebrates the radical potential of queer performativity against the quotidian vulgarity of heterosexual society across ten tracks, sequined and infectious.

This track is not available anymore.
