    'Two in the P!nk', or the Missundaztanding of Alecia Moore

    'Two in the P!nk', or the Missundaztanding of Alecia Moore

    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 seconds sharing. But what is it about P!nk and Australia?

    Visit our online home at auralfixationpodcast.com, follow us on Instagram and Twitter, or go old school and email us at auralfixationpodcast@gmail.com. You can follow Andy on @andrewdoyouthinkyouare and Drew on @with.all.drew.respect. And don't forget to check out this episode's playlist.
     
    Our big gay thanks to Anthony Garvin and the team at Forbes Street Studios in Sydney.

Wonderful!

Love the hosts. Love the music. Love the artists + albums they’ve chosen to highlight. Love the humor + the joy + the celebration of all things queer.

Highly recommended.
