"We're Here, We're Queer, We're a Rerun!"

Don't know about anyone else, but this isn't sounding like anything I remember hearing before. That punk rock intro thingy (thoroughly unintelligible), and now this Ben Folds-sounding piece (catchy piano pop, lyrics about the love that shall not speak its name) are both unknown to me.

Maybe Dave put an original set in the can before he took off?

I think you might be right, Urth.

Now we're back in familiar territory: I Kissed a Girl and Melissa E's Yes I Am, interposed by the Ellen "coming out" clips.

Movie dialogue Dave should play one of these years (from American Beauty):

Jim Olmeyer: Hello! We're your neighbors from two doors down and we just wanted to welcome you to the neighborhood!
[handing the Colonel a gift basket]
Jim "JB" Berkely: Everything's from our garden, except for the pasta.
Jim Olmeyer: Yes, it's from Fizzoli's, it's amazingly fresh, you just pop it in water and it's done! I'm Jim Olmeyer
[shakes the Colonel's hand]
Jim Olmeyer: And this is my partner Jim.
Jim "JB" Berkely: Jim Berkely, but people call me J.B.
[extends his hand to shake]
Colonel Frank Fitts: Ah, let's just cut to it, what are you selling?
Jim Olmeyer: Nothing, we just wanted to welcome you to the neighborhood.
Colonel Frank Fitts: You said you're partners, so, uh what's your business?
Jim Olmeyer: Well, he's a tax attorney.
Jim "JB" Berkely: And he's an anesthesiologist.

Who does this Hit The Ground Running song?  

The last time Dave played it on the Morning Show is when he got all choked up & remembered his lost lover & showed he still has a bit of unresolved survior's guilt.

Post Sylvester, more familiarity: Tim Finn's Hit The Ground Running.

Question: is Tim Finn gay, or does this song just have particular resonance for gays?

I'm thinking no. I think Hit The Ground Running was Dave's AIDS related tune for this set.

after the SF gay marriage newsclips segued into "Legalize Our Love" I am now convinced that this is a 2005 set, not a rerun.

Back early from my meeting, and it sounds like Dave really did record a new set -- I know we didn't hear Jill Sobule last year, I remember noticing its absence then.

Tim Finn is not gay to my knowledge but the song is clearly about knowing someone who died of AIDS.  Proxy WOS for Gaz as I recall he hates it, but I like it just fine.

Sylvester-Mighty Real
Tim Finn-Hit the Ground Running
Elton John-whatever his usual song is called
Legalize our Love--can't remember who does this

Being that it's 10:35, I think I'm forgetting a song or two, but after the first couple it's been the usual suspects throughout.

I have always disliked that Lea Delaria "take that police car, put it over there" clip.

BOS the great Tom Robinson.

Same here. She kinda trivializes the whole thing. The cops were busting up an impromptu wake for Judy Garland- which is even more obnoxious (on the part of the cops, natch) than busting up a gathering of gay people "just having a good time".

Ever hear the live version?  I've said this before I'm sure, but one of these years Dave should use that version.  It was recorded in Sydney just after the Aussies had won the Rugby World Cup, and JJ dedicated the song to the Rugby Team.

Over the years, the gay community has fluctuated between celebrating the fact that this was a bunch of depressed drag queens mourning Judy, and considering that a politically incorrect cliche.  Gay people? Conflicted? No, really?

There are no coincidences: I'm seeing a docu this afternoon (part of the LGBT Film Fest) about the London Gay Rugby Team. It's called "Rugger Buggers"

The buggers play rugby now... what more are they after?

I have never heard of the Mukilteo Fairies before either, but that's a great band name!

(Mukilteo being an actual ferry terminal in the Seattle area)

Thanks for the edumacation. Lea de Laria's comments about it being the beginnings of gays & interior decorating probably don't help the situation I would imagine.

Ah, the wonders of modern technology. Where'd you finally hook up? At a cafe or did you find someone with a poorly shielded wireless router?

For future ref, I think there's a cafe or two on Balboa near 36th (near the movie theatre) that have wi-fi.

It was kind of fun.  I have this program called MacStumbler that just discovers any wifi access.  The computer kept speaking at me from the passenger seat as I drove by about all the access points.  The program tells you whether or not there's a WEP password in place, so I finally found one, just from somebody's house, and made my post!  Kind of fun, if silly.

That, as it turned out, was the Billie Burke Estate, "Gay". Local, apparently, and they use the Ben Folds comparison themselves:

FYI, Live 105 is doing their annual "K-GAY" all-gay-all-the-time thing. Lots of fun -- they just segued from ABC's "Poison Arrow" to Judas Priest.

I've heard it before, so I'm sure you have.  A sweet song.

you can hear a sample on iTunes.
