Hey,
Eh I'm new to this and I'm not exactly sure if this is going where I want it to, however I'm attempting anyway. My name is Mandi and I'm 21, and I was just looking for other people who shared my music/poetic interests to chat with. I really like Alix Olson and Amy Welsh poetry. I'm also a big fan of Ani Difranco music. So if anyone is interested let me know.

Hey folks.
If any of you are fans of Pamela Means, we are looking for some help with some of her upcoming dates.
Here are the locations we need street teamers for over the next month or so:
Steven's Point, WI
Milwaukee, WI
Madison, WI
Minneapolis, MN
Toledo, OH
Chicago, IL
Madison, WI
Ithaca, NY
Northampton, MA
New York, NY
Joining the street team would get you 2 tickets free to any show you were able to put up flyers for, and the knowledge that you are helping out a righteous independent lesbian with a fierce message.
If you're interested, you can comment here or shoot me (her street team manager) an email at jessica AT pamela means DOT com.
X-posted a couple of places

Hi, I am new to this community and also a new Alix Olson fan. I was hoping that you could do me a favor. I am in the beginning stages of making a resourse book (of sorts for a class I am in) that has different songs that address issues such a classism, racism, privilege etc.. I have some good ones in mind, but I need more..
What I need from you is some suggestions of Alix songs(and other artists too if they come to mind!) that address these issues pretty directly...
Thank you so much. I look forward to seeing what you all come up with.. :)

2:54 am - "Let the Poetry Come" by Alix Olson/Amy Neevel-- printed in Curve magazine
|
|
syllabled
|
Take your basic dyke protagonist. Introduce her battle against the modern edict of gender and sexuality. Chronicle her story of resistance. And the mainstream plot thins. She engenders multiple climaxes. She is the anti-script: queer as folklore.
We work for the dyke stories scribbled in the margins: the bi-dyke home-schooling her “farm of four feminist sons”; the Latina intersexed queertrans slam poet; the rainbow-mohawked, 57-year-old lesbian who rides her motorcycle from town to town doing breast-cancer education; and the fierce activists, teachers, and artists who amplify community struggles against divisiveness, apathy, and Home Depot.
During our summer tour, these lives have been an antidote to the monocultural media outside our hotel-room door. As CNN legitimized our court-appointed jester, as corporate radio spun us into a static blur, as we cruised across the land of CEO to shining CEO, it became evident that our grass-roots oral tradition must drown out the corporate-sponsored immoral tradition. If truth be told, our lives, our mouths have to be telling.

Hi folks! I posted a couple weeks ago about a project I am doing for a course called Sexual Violence in Societal Context on violence against transgender people. The project is going really well...we are presenting it on Thursday, and we're feeling very positive about the impact it will have at Earlham College, which is where I'm taking the course.
We've got most of the fact-based stuff down pretty solidly, and what we're looking for now is representations of the impact that violence has on transgender people and those who love transgender people. It would be really valuable to our project to be able to present poems, song lyrics, or other means of artistic expression that show how people feel about transphobic violence. We will NOT be publishing the submissions or making them available for use by anyone other than ourselves; in other words, we're just going to show/read them to people, but we won't be making copies of them and distributing them in any way without the express permission of their authors. I'm putting this call out in this way because I know there's a lot of great poetry/art out there, and I want to make sure that I'm only using material if the author knows about it and is okay with that.
So, if you have written poetry/lyrics or have photos of artwork that you would be okay with my sharing with the Earlham community, for the purpose of connecting the reality of human experience to the facts of transgender violence in a way that folks who see our project will be able to relate to, that would be really awesome and valuable. I'll be using some of my own poetry for this, too, and I'll definitely share my work with you all, too. Thank you SO much.
If you could email me at peaceofpie@livejournal.com or greenda1@earlham.edu, that would be great. Please send stuff to me by Tuesday, Nov. 2nd, as we're presenting the project on the 4th. Feel free to cross-post this anywhere that it hasn't already been posted, on Livejournal or elsewhere.
