A Hint Of Mint – Volume 27: Punks and Alterna-Queers
In the nascent days of the punk rock movement, punks congregated in gay, lesbian and trans bars, where they could be who they are and dress how they dressed without fear of being hassled, outcasts united against the mainstream of society.
This week’s installment of A Hint of Mint consists of songs from or influenced and/or inspired by seventies punk.

A Hint Of Mint – Volume 26: Halloween
If you came here looking for the same old Halloween classics – you know the ones – you came to the wrong place. On Halloween, people can be anyone or anything they desire, and be applauded for doing so. No wonder it’s like Gay Pride Part II! Celebrate your otherness with a Halloween playlist with an LGBT bent, or as I like to call it, a playlist with a hint of mint.

A Hint Of Mint – Volume 25: Sports
The World Series is coming up. I think it is, anyway. In honor of this annual event that means something to many people, I wanted to create a playlist of baseball songs, songs that appealed to the LGBTQQISA populations. I came up with one song. I then decided to make this playlist cover all sports. That helped a little. Then I decided to interpret “sports” loosely. Here is the result.

A Hint Of Mint – Volume 23: Covers
This week’s installment of A Hint of Mint consists of cover songs. It’s likely you are familiar with most or all of the songs on this week’s playlist, but I’m guessing you are not familiar with the versions presented here. Drawn primarily from soundtracks, compilations and CD singles, here are twenty remakes of popular tunes, performed by members of the LGBTQQISA populations. Included are Tegan & Sara covering Bruce Springsteen, Antony & the Johnsons covering Beyoncé, and Pansy Division covering Johnny Cash and June Carter.
Happy Sunday!

Lots of ladies in this week’s installment of A Hint of Mint, which includes some college radio classics plus two different songs entitled “I Kissed a Girl,” neither of which is performed by Katy Perry, at least not the version here.

A Hint Of Mint – Volume 21: Television
Television inspires this playlist of TV theme songs, covers of TV theme songs, songs that sample TV theme songs, songs about watching TV and sung critiques of watching TV. This may be the only place where Beck and Bruce Springsteen rub shoulders with The Brady Bunch.

A Hint Of Mint – Volume 19: Religious Freedom
Today a woman is sitting in a jail cell in Kentucky because her religious freedoms were trampled upon. She says her religion calls for her to get paid to do a job without actually having to do the job. Her employer, the state, disagrees. She says her religion forces her to break the law and that breaking the law shouldn’t be illegal. Again, the state disagrees. She is sitting in a jail cell, maintaining that laws should not be enforced and people should get paid by their employer regardless as to whether or not they do their job, for her belief system tells her this is so. This is called religious freedom.
Religion inspired this week’s playlist of songs performed by artists who can legally wed in the United States of America, of which Kentucky is one. Each song and each state has a hint of mint.
