getting emails recently about a couple of labels reissuing the single, and of an album of unreleased material, and apparently a documentary has been made

that was a specific effete ennervated voice that belonged to the eighties. but who invented it? why did it become memetic

like its a reaction to more humanistic and 'soulful' voices, more embodied voices. stressing alienation and distance.

"Lazzarus was repeatedly turned away by record companies, who insisted they could not market her because of her image which featured a dreadlocks hairstyle. After picking up filmmaker Jonathan Demme in her taxi during a blizzard and asking him if he was in the music business, she played him her demo tape, to which he replied, "Oh my God, what is this and who are you?" Her song "Candle Goes Away" was then included in Demme's 1986 film Something Wild. In the late 1980s, she moved to London to form an Aerosmith-style rock band and stayed there for five years.[3][5]

In 1988, Lazzarus's signature song, "Goodbye Horses", written and produced by Garvey, was released.[5] That same year, the song was included in Demme's film Married to the Mob. It later became a cult hit following its inclusion in a scene from Demme's 1991 film The Silence of the Lambs featuring the film's antagonist, serial killer Buffalo Bill.[6] She then appeared in Demme's next film, 1993's Philadelphia, in which she performed a cover of the Talking Heads song "Heaven".[7][8]

In 1996, Q Lazzarus disappeared from the public eye.[9] As of 2015, she had been working as a bus driver in Staten Island, and filed a lawsuit against a Hasidic bus company for not hiring female bus drivers.[3]

Q Lazzarus died on July 19, 2022 from an undisclosed illness.[1"

possibly in the Ming dynasty

over here, it was something you'd see "alternative cultures" (meaning pre-grunge) people wearing every now and then, from the late 80s to maybe 92, - the whole outfit, from top to bottom
i didn't really know where it came from - i thought it was also maybe some kind of martial arts outfit being worn as fashion

one of the hot girls from where i was "committed" to the first time, she showed up, a couple of years later, dressed in the exact kind of outfit i'm talking about from above at the place i first started djing - almost went to talk to her, but thought, nah - she might just want to forget it about it all

after all, it was kind of awkward and weird running into people from there, the couple of times it happened to me, so...

can see that, but it was confusing to me that luka said it sounded "effete" because I thought most people knew, but I guess not

otoh, I though the singer of sigur ros was a woman when I first heard them
Yeah or some kind of nordic pixie.
