Throwback Thursday: 2008
Any year with Vampire Weekend, Adele, Kanye West, Radiohead, Britney Spears, R.E.M., The Ting Tings, Madonna, “Single Ladies,” “Paper Planes” and two songs named “Lollipop” can’t be that bad. Herewith are thirty music highlights of 2008.
Queer Music of the 2000s
Stating the obvious here: not only were their more openly queer and trans artists making their music heard as we entered a new century, the subject matter of songs related to LGBTQ+ people expanded as well. It’s pretty rad to compare this playlist to the 1950s/1960s one I made to kick off this Pride Month celebration.
