Yes Homo Pop Princess Mix 7

I am not really sure where I stumbled upon her work, but I think Rosie Hardy takes some pretty intriguing photos.  Check out more of her work here.

I feel like her pictures evoke the spirit of the pop princess mixes pretty well. That languid, pretty, sort of melancholy place that some of the songs inhabit. Her pictures be like the music personified nah mean?

Grab the mix here. Hit the jump for the tracklist and samples.

Yes Homo Pop Princess Mix 2

Guess what?  The new Yes Homo Pop Princess Mix is here. I can tell you are excited.  This version is a little more pop princessy than the last one. There are actually some songs on it that I don't really approve of, buuuut it's for the ladies. *Curtsies* They love the GaGa, personally she scares the shit out of me. I want nothing to do with her or her music.  Seriously what the fuck is going on here?  People tell me she is actually a good musician.  I say, you could tell me she sounds like the end result of a Sam Cooke/Otis Redding love child who copulated with the spawn of Aretha Franklin and Al Green's beh-bay and I still wouldn't want to hear what she has to say.  I just don't get the packaging.  Look at her next to Beyonce.  Beyonce doesn't need to make herself look punchable, she just sings.  I can respect that.  That other madness just frightens me.












Lucky for you guys I am willing to put my kettle of seething anger to the side and dip my toes into that murky cesspool known as the top 40. Don't say I never did anything nice for you. I actually have never heard the original of this song, I'm sure it's great...so this will be on the mix.

Yes Homo!!!


Yeah I said it. You know all those homophobic rappers that say something they think has homosexual undertones and then retract it with a no homo? I think they say simple stuff, like "I love my man Damon, no homo." I guess it's a preemptive strike to anyone saying "Oooooh he loves Damon!! Why don't you marry him??!!" It must be some type of school ground mentality. Sometimes I wonder how far it can be taken.

"Yeah he came back to my place and we did it...no homo?"
"Hmm yeaaah that's actually the definition of homo."
"Damn it!! Will someone please explain the rules to me!! Can we do take backs double stampsies no around the worlds?" *stomps feet emphatically*
*Friend walks away shaking his head*

So I am here to proclaim yes homo with this mix, with a caveat of no offense!! The club queens probably have much better taste than this. That might be my stand in for No homo, No offense. "Yo face look busted, these ho's can't be trusted, No offense!!" Hmm doubt that catches on or that I go down as one of the top emcees in the game. Anyway this mix is aimed more at the ladies or men who don't feel ashamed accentuating their midriff with a well tied side knot on their favorite shirt.

This mix is on a Gilmore girls' level. This is the type of music heard during the closing credits on a CW show, that kind of shit. Stuff straight dudes don't admit to bumping. One time I was at an art show and this dude was playing music, super loud from his motorcycle and a Mariah Carey slowjam came on, he had to go run and change it. Yep, these are the songs that come on your shuffle and you get embarrassed and heteronormativity makes you justify them by muttering stuff like, "Oh man, my sister must have downloaded that." These are pretty pop vocalizations over some folky non-threatening acoustics. Pop princess is not exactly appropriate, but these girls are the closest I come to pop princesses. Think Norah Jones, think lazy sunday lounging around bundled up in a sweater with a good book, your cat and a cup of tea, not that, that's how I spend my sundays....ah fuck it yes homo!!
