    CW: 22 Disc - "Disconnect" - Clean Bandit & Marina & the Diamonds

    A gloomy disco anthem about the loneliness of modern life, somewhat presaging the health crisis of the present decade.

    Both Clean Bandit and Marina are camp gay icons and proper allies, often featuring at Pride march after-parties.

    First performed in 2015, released as a single two years later.

    CW: 18 "I stand with Caster" - Lux

    #TracksAndField was invented to mark the World Athletics championships.

    #WorldAthletics is a horrible organisation, it wants to medicalise Black women to meet white people's prejudices on femininity. For years, WA has been a schoolyard bully, picking on Caster Semenya because she's different.

    Pushback came from an advert in South Africa, where Semenya is a hero, and HRH Sirlord Sebastian Coe is dirt on someone's shoe.

    CW: 16 Triple - "Psychos" - Jenny Lewis

    "Turn down the treble / Drop the bass / Respect to your guru / Namaste, yeah"

    Once upon a time, the frontswoman with Rilo Kiley, latterly the spreader and bringer of jollity. Jenny doesn't make a big deal of her sexuality, but she's someone to catch the breath of many young lesbians.

    From her 2023 album "Joy'all".

    CW: 6) Sprint - "Quiet" - Lil' Kim

    "In the court of law and drop a DIME like Sprint do".

    Lil'Kim is raunchy, uncompromising, and was the first big-name rapper to be an ally to queer people.

    “I just feel like family when I’m performing for a mainly LGBTQ crowd,” the rap superstar said. “It just feels like I’m so at home and with family and they’re with me all the time, you know what I mean?”

    Strong language from the start and throughout.

    CW: Abusive sports bodies

    Caster Semenya can challenge World Athletics' discriminatory rules in court.

    Under its leader HRH Sir Sebastian Coe, WA claims it can order women to change their chemical makeup to fit its western ideals of femininity.

    WA also excludes trans women from its events, thus ensuring athletics is no longer a sport.

    More on this in next month's music challenge, #TracksAndField.
