We're coming up so you better get this party started! Aural Fixation's eighth cycle wraps up with a good old fashioned Drew and Andy romp, and this time, it's Missundaztood by the  one and only P!nk.   Some of the queer topics we cover around and amongst Alecia Moore's iconic sophomore outing include Shirley Bassey's Marks & Spencer adverts, "Get the Party Started" being about completely nothing, and rifling through Billy B's phone book.   We also muse on Liv Tyler's paternal parentage, shout out to our gaymers, and raise our fists (not glasses) to Max Martin's sloppy second ..read more

It's New Queer's Eve and we're wrapping up an oddity of a year by delving into the magic and mayhem of Pete Burns, frontman of Dead or Alive and bonafide pio-queer. No one knows Pete better than our old friend and host of various incredible podcasts (The Record Doctor, This Is Disco and the brand new You Can't Mistake Their Anthology to name two), Adem Eve. Adem takes through possibly the most chaotic album we've covered yet on Aural Fixation, the global-flop-everywhere-but-Japan-where-it-sold-millions, Nukleopatra.  We also sidestep into figuring out what exactly Discogs is, pay our res ..read more

Iconic duos have been cruelly separated by Miss Rona the world over, but finally your most loved audio couple reunite. Against the suitably spectacular backdrop of Australia's Snowy Mountains region, Drew and Andy are joined by a very special guest, for a very special topic. ARIA-nominated, Golden Guitar Award-winning, chart-topping country singer Fanny Lumsden invites Aural Fixation to swap the Snowies for the Smokies and hitch a ride to Dollywood. No other artist manages to unite the United States (and beyond) quite like Dolly Parton, a fact made all the more remarkable as her flame burns b ..read more

Have you ever felt like you’re ever-so-slightly less-than? Do you ever get the sense that you’re living in someone else’s shadow? Have you, too, experienced that niggling sensation that there is somebody else – somebody more successful than you, more recognised, more universally revered – consistently beating you to the punch? OF COURSE YOU DO! You’re queer for christ sake, those feelings of inadequacy are literally engrained in us during childhood because of the systemic patriarchal dictatorship we’re born into!   Aaaanyway, the silver lining that comes along with the feeling of never be ..read more
