Favourite Song #5 - Mind your own business - Delta 5

To those christian fundamentalists who hijacked Singapore's foremost gender equality organization AWARE, who are less concerned about women's rights and more interested to propagate their indivduals-destroying and families-breaking anti-queer beliefs, this song's for you.

Just because the takeover of AWARE is constitutional, doesn't make it right!

Favourite Song #4 - I think we're alone now - The Spinto Band

If there ever was a bubblegum ode to teenage sex, this might be it. The orginal's by Tommy James and the Shondells but I first heard Tiffany's 80s teen pop sing-along and loved it (and still love it). There's just something irresistible about not heeding the grown-ups' advice, yeah? The Spinto Band's power pop renditon kept the song's original sweetness. Apparently The Pipettes did a grrrl group version too.

And if you ever wonder if gays and lesbians had it better in the US of A, here's the proof. Damn.
