The Smell of Our Own (20th Anniversary Edition)
by The Hidden Cameras
real gay goodness right here; one of my favourites and the singular blueprint i look to for inserting unabashed homosexuality into popular song forms

darkly humorous songs with razor-sharp arrangements, immaculately recorded

The Wayward Bus / Distant Plastic Trees (Remastered)
by The Magnetic Fields
while not as immediate as "69 love songs", these two records are really special - perfect for long, sad walks in the cold. "the wayward bus" album in particular is exceptional
