Mating Calls - Episode 180 - Box of Dark Roses
We are live and closing out Women's History Month with a serendipitous show on International Transgender Day of Visibility. We'll be on the airwaves for 2 hours celebrating and centering trans rights and trans revenge in response to the vulgar and coordinated efforts of the state to erase transgender individuals and transgender identity.
On the musical end, today's show will feature a full playthrough of Mope Grooves’ 2024 double LP ‘Box of Dark Roses’, quotes and impressions from the accompanying zine/liner notes, many dedications to the late Stevie and her ideas & a sonic plea for radically authentic existence and autonomy in “the worst of all possible worlds.”
If you dig what you hear today, ‘Box of Dark Roses’ is up for sale through 12XU in our shit stained fascist hellhole and Night School in the EU/UK. Proceeds from all sales of the album and all digital streaming “will be redistributed in perpetuity to incarcerated or formerly incarcerated survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence, especially the many women and other gender marginalized ppl incarcerated for defending themselves against their attackers. funds will be allocated to the Survived and Punished NY Mutual Aid Find, a comparable organization, or directly into commissary funds or fundraisers of incarcerated survivors.”
