The Real Ramona

<3 This week and continuing on from last show we hear from the 1991 Throwing Muses album, The Real Ramona . Released in 1991, it was the last album recorded by the band before the departure of founding member Tanya Donelly. The album marked the end of a time for the band, and a transition into a new one. The band’s two heavyweights, Kristin Hersh and Tanya Donelly, had been the anchor holding the entire group down. After this album, Donelly left and formed Belly, taking the bassist on this album, Fred Abong, along with her. Hence, the album can be seen as an epitaph to the early days of the band. Paris Is Burning is the 1990 film that chronicles the New York’s drag scene in the 1980s, focusing on balls, voguing and the ambitions and dreams of those who gave the era its warmth and vitality. Directed by Jennie Livingston and filmed in the mid-to-late 1980s, it chronicles the ball culture of New York City and the African-American, Latino, gay, and transgender communities involved in it. Some critics consider the film to be an invaluable documentary of the end of the “Golden Age” of New York City drag balls, and a thoughtful exploration of race, class, gender, and sexuality in America. <3 Ep 49 00:00:53 – Throwing Muses – Counting Backwards 00:04:34 – Throwing Muses – Him Dancing 00:06:21 – Throwing Muses – Red Shoes 00:10:10 – Throwing Muses – Graffiti 00:13:10 – Throwing Muses – Golden Thing 00:16:15 – Throwing Muses – Ellen West 00:19:40 – Throwing Muses – Dylan 00:21:33 – Throwing Muses – Hook In Her Head 00:28:41 – Throwing Muses – Not Too Soon 00:32:51 – Throwing Muses – Honeychain 00:37:47 – Throwing Muses – Say Goodbye 00:41:50 – Throwing Muses – Two Step 00:47:10 – Throwing Muses – Garoux Des Larmes 00:50:13 – Throwing Muses – Pools In Eyes 00:53:25 – Throwing Muses – A Feeling 00:56:22 – Throwing Muses – Wolf After The War Transitional Audio Clips Paris Is Burning (1990) – Venus Extravaganza Octavia St. Laurent – Queen Of The Underground The post The Real Ramona appeared first on Magic Portals .
