Fool for Love
built 258 days ago
Paul Burch makes a good first impression on Fool for Love. There's a strange ambience to "Lovesick Blues Boy" -- the opener -- that creates a strong undercurrent. The bass-heavy production is simple but insistent, providing a dark underpinning for Burch's rich vocals. "Bad Girl She Used to Be" sounds like a '50s tune channeled through [T]he Velvet Underground and sweetened by a touch of romanticism. One quickly gains the belief that Burch knows where he's heading on Fool for Love and what he wants to achieve. The arrangements, for instance, don't seem a lot different than those used by the typical singer/songwriter.

A Queer Circle of Friends is a sequel to Fool for Love (... by Lisa Lees), part of a continuing romance series for young genderqueer people. In Fool for Love, Carys and Jami met at a spring break arts camp in high school and fell in love. Working out what that meant, for one girl who had never willingly worn a dress and another who was intersexed, was a bit of a problem. But they did the work needed, and now are happily coupled. At the start of A Queer Circle of Friends, Carys and Jami have been living together for six months. The outgoing one of the pair, Carys has helped start a support group for queer and gender-questioning young people.
