Apparently the movie The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes is about an explicitly gay Sherlock and Watson.
Wow! How groundbreaking! And when was this movie made, you ask??
1970.
Which means Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss had all our asses pining, begging for a gay romance with Sherlock and Watson from the years 2010-2017 -- with the creators and distributors acting like it would simply be IMPOSSIBLE for Sherlock to be gay, like we just weren't THERE yet as a society -- All this happened....
40 years after A GAY SHERLOCK HOLMES HAD ALREADY BEEN PORTRAYED ONSCREEN.
It's giving Russell T. Davies calling the Loki show a "ridiculous, cowardly, craven gesture" for pretending to be progressive with its pathetic queer representation in 2023, while this man was making the Doctor kiss men in 2005!!!! And making other gay films and TV since the 90s at least!
Don't be fooled just because homophobic mega-corporations like Disney and homophobic men-who-have-mega-never-sexually-satisfied-their-wives like Moffat act like queer rep is something people just aren't ready for. We are further ahead than they want us to know. We deserve better rep all around, and we have decades of proof showing that this is not a NEW thing we are demanding.

243: Dave Russell // Bricolage
Bricolage
Dave Russell
1992, Hangman
Tracked on a reel-to-reel recorder in an afternoon in the basement of Billy Childish’s home in Chatham, UK and released on his personal label, 1992’s Bricolage was the first album by Dave Russell, a folk musician and poet who has been performing around London since the late ‘60s. While he got a flicker of interest from an MCA A&R man back in 1969, he’d never been picked up despite the era’s post-Dylan / Fairport Convention feeding frenzy. Upon listening to Russell this isn’t exactly surprising: between his sarcastic, paranoic lyrics, spindly fingerstyle playing, and pinched, aggravated voice, this is thoroughly outsider-coded music. If he were cast in a Pixar movie, it would be as the voice of a cranky leftist-libertarian mosquito troubadour.
Of course, the dyspepsia of Bricolage is what helps it rise above standard peace-and-love folk revival pablum. The songs inveigh against clinical psychiatry, Britain’s elite, ecological collapse, and uh cosmetics (Jonathan Swift style). Russell’s lyrics begin as poems, and you can often feel him bending his melodies to accommodate his intricate wordplay—songs with the simple cadences of traditional folk songs are crammed with syllables, while others drift off into more diffuse, atonal structures as he rambles. He plays fiercely, his technical precision juddering against the manic force of his picking. In interviews, Russell’s talked about his interest in progressive jazz and experimental classical music (e.g. Bartok, Stockhausen), and that bent reveals itself in the fractured, hair-raising virtuosity of story-song “Microscope”:
My favourite cut is probably his cover of the Jazz Butcher’s “Bicycle Kid.” While the Butcher original juxtaposes its hysterical description of an 11-year-old sociopath with a sunny guitar pop arrangement, Russell’s is a jagged Billy Childish-esque folk-punk screed that vibrates with irritated rage—when Russell sings the closing “You’re an evil little fucker” refrain you feel like he’s about to throttle the kid.
By the end of Bricolage I usually feel a little rubbed raw by Russell’s style, but beyond its status as an interesting footnote in the Childish/Thee Headcoats musical universe, on balance the record is a bit of an unplucked gem for aficionados of avant-folk music. As of late 2023, Russell still performs regularly in his community, and had a handful of CD-only releases around the turn of the millennium.
243/365
