James St. James & Sharon Needles "PG-13" Album Listening Party



Sharon Needles discusses the inspiration behind his first single, "This Club Is A Haunted House", off his new album "PG-13" with the legendary James St. James - based on his first club visit to a Susanne Bartsch party. Needles also discusses his reluctance to be a role model for the younger LGBT, particulary the much overlooked Q in LGBQT; working with Amanda LePore, getting RuPaul to satirize the classic track "Supermodel" as well as his drinking problems on the track "Drink till I Die".
A stand out track on the album is his cover of Ministry's 1984 single "(Every Day Is) Halloween", which is a reference to goth subculture, particularly clothing, such as in the passage "I dress this way just to keep them at bay." It also questions the intolerance and lack of acceptance for others who are different.

Stupid, spooky & catchy.

Have you read his books? I loved Freak Show!

Is he the one that Party Monster is about?
turi 4th-Feb-2013 04:16 am (UTC)
Yes he is the one who wrote the book and didn't commit the murder, and whose life is endlessly parodied by the young man in your icon.
worryful 4th-Feb-2013 04:17 am (UTC)
I own the book, I figured I'd mention the movie since it's more wide spread.

How is Lady Gaga endlessly parodying him?

Bitter Chad supporter here... glad to see there is somewhat of a Sharon backlash.

Also, Alaska can be eliminated already.

I feel like the only 'backlash' is here on ONTD...

LIVING for the Ministry single.

I don't know if this makes sense, but I kinda wasn't expecting a Drag Race alum to make ~real music~, you know?
drawntoinsanity 1st-Feb-2013 09:21 pm (UTC)
i was shocked that there was so many different genres i guess you can say? i really expected just club music

Looove James St. James.

I love James. I'm so sad I started going to Twilo at the end of the club kid era. And I never went to Limelight :(
turi 1st-Feb-2013 09:31 pm (UTC)
but girl, u went.

Okay, serious question here - what do recovering alcoholic queens do on RPDR? There's so many fucking mentions of "Absolut vodka in the Interior Illusions lounge" and whatnot that it's got to be horrible for their successful sobriety. I swear there's been at least one alcoholic but I can't remember which season.

really hoping the producers just film them drinking water or something...

idek why I care but. =(

Good point

I think this is part of a larger problem. Alcohol companies are large supporters of LGBT events, yet alcoholism is very prevalent in the LGBT community. It's kinda effed up, but I guess it's the remnants of a 20 yr old marketing practice of only alcohol brands DARING to market to the LGBT.

JcPenney's or Kraft Oreo's Presents RuPaul's Drag Race would be odd tho. /endunfocusedrant

Sharon's new single is pretty good.

Fun fact: James St. James once made fun of one of my Jake T. Austin ONTD posts.
