Actually, gay people have made perhaps-better-than-average music since time began. I just find gay culture's taste in tunes a bit lacking. Moving on...The Soft Pink Truth finds one-half of electro-duo Matmos (they provide bleeps and beats for Bjork now and then), Drew Daniel, taking old hardcore and punk anthems and turning them into erratic, dark, and sometimes hilarious house tracks. My favorite is Nervous Gender's "Confession," which re-imagines Jesus as a street-walking Galilean deviant. B made little refrigerator magnets of great album covers, and considering I found this gem in his collection, it's a shame that cover doesn't greet me every time I go to make a sandwich. Whoo!
