This week was all about the tunes.

The new Tegan and Sara album Heartthrob premiered on the Rolling Stone site. It’s a buoyant album, perfect to help add some pep to a cold winter’s day.

Transposes.

Transposes

I’m adding Dylan Edward‘s graphic novel Transposes to my reading list after this Lambda Lit’s write-up caught my eye:

“… focusing on the stories of six queer transmen. Edwards explains in his introduction that these stories are based on interviews he conducted with the principal characters, sometimes combining or altering them slightly to dramatize them for comics. He also states that the book isn’t about answering “those questions” strangers feel entitled to ask. It’s about the individuals who used the mediums of their lives to define what it means to be a FTM transperson.”

Bechdel and beyond.

Alison Bechdel

Flavorwire has also offered up a nice handy little list of other graphic novels I can stack onto my bedside table. Included are Canadian graphic novelist Sarah Leavitt (Tangles) and Nicole Georges who wrote/illustrated Calling Dr. Laura (which I mentioned a couple of weeks ago). What is this list? We’ll it’s titled “8 Worthy Successors to Alison Bechdel”, and you can check it out here.

OML + Tello = BFF.

The Throwaways Ep 3

Online lesbian content addicts (like me) should know that One More Lesbian (online distributor of queer film & TV content) have just announced a merger with Tello Films (original online lesbian video content). What does that mean for us? More great content from both sources, all gathered up in one place. Sound good to you? Sounds good to me.

Concussion has been picked up.

The Stacie Passon Sundance debut Concussion just got scooped up by RADiUS-TWC (the multi-platform label from the Weinstein Company). This is great news for queer film lovers, it’s also a treat for Maggie Siff (Son’s of Anarchy) lovers, as Siff has a role in this new flick.

A Liz Lemon party is mandatory!

30 Rock Finale

Also, can you believe it’s time to say goodbye to 30 Rock? The series finale is this Thursday. In honour of all that is Tina Fey, I leave you with this sexy typewriter shot and a classic Liz Lemon quote:

“Lovers.. oh, that word bums me out unless it’s between meat and pizza.”

Tina Fey
