Stonewall and Beyond: Queering the New York Dance Floor pt.2

Tim and Jeremy return from a mini winter break with a second episode looking at the music and politics of the Downtown queer dance floors of the early 70s. They interrogate the position of the Stonewall Riot in the history of queer culture, exploring many of the historiographical problems latent in the received accounts of this period and recontextualising the gay liberation movement of the time within a broader set of radical, anti-imperial demands. Tim and Jeremy also return to one of the most important clubs of the moment - the Sanctuary - and take a trip upstate to Fire Island Pines. Plus, Jem delivers a healthy dose of iconoclasm to a particularly beloved classic.     Produced and edited by Matt Huxley.       Tune in, Turn on, Get Down!     Become a patron for £3pcm by visiting Patreon.com/LoveMessagePod And check out our new website: https://www.loveisthemessagepod.co.uk/    Tracklist:   Abaco Dream - Life & Death in G & A Gladys Knight and the Pips - Got Myself a Good Man   Marvin Gaye - What's Going On   Diana Ross and the Supremes - Ain't No Mountain High Enough

Love is the Message: Music, Dance & Counterculture is a new show from Tim Lawrence and Jeremy Gilbert, both of them authors, academics, DJs and dance party organisers. Tune in, Turn on and Get Down to in-depth discussion of the sonic, social and political legacies of radical movements from the 1960s to today. Starting with David Mancuso's NYC Loft parties, we’ll explore the countercultural sounds, scenes and ideas of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. ”There’s one big party going on all the time. Sometimes we get to tune into it.” The rest of the time there’s Love Is The Message.
