Paul Soileau as the most terrifying drag queen of the moment Christeene

christeeneWatch out! Christeene is driving her way to you.

Paul Soileau’s drag character is exploding across the South, exploding onstage with her back up dancers as they spill out a hot mix of raw sexual shamlessness and original rap music. Is it too much to say that Christneene might replace Britney Spears as the new pop sensation from Louisiana?

Today we continue our shows from the heart of Texas with gender bending drag terrorist Paul Soileau. Paul shares with us his journey becoming both the outrageous Christeene and his other drag alter-ego, the more conservative Rebbecca Havemeyer.

Listen as Paul chats with us about Christeene’s chaotic sensibilities, his videos banned from YouTube that are making sites like Funny or Die rich, and the crazy things they eat in the bayou.

Plus hot news:

A prankster overtakes WallMart’s intercom system, announcing “all black people must leave immediately.”

Ampo, Indonesia’s soil snack food, eaten for generations in the village of Tuban, really is soil baked into squares. It’s eaten as a painkiller and to improve the skin of developing babies. Will we see it at Whole Foods anytime soon?

And Prinny the little cat from Australia that learned how to swim.

A deep look at Madonna

We had a blast talking all things Madonna with Melissa in September 2009 that we thought might enjoy hearing it again-

For almost three decades, Madonna has captured the imagination of the public by identifying where we needed to be pushed and ooh ooh, taking us there like a prayer.

Whether you’re crazy for her or annoyed by her expressing herself, you can’t deny the impact this beautiful stranger has had on all of us.

Today we dedicate the first part of our show to Madonna- the woman, the iconoclast, the musician.

Campy musician Melissa Young talks about gay divas on Feast of FunCabaret singer and Madonna expert Melissa Young joins us before she sets off on her own “Lucky Star” tour- a one woman show dedicated to the life and music of Madonna.

Madonna’s new video for her song “Celebration” does it right, featuring her die-hard fans videotaped at her concerts dancing to the beat. But the big highlight is the pop diva’s baby girl, Lourdes, all grown up and wearing the wedding dress big momma wore in her 80s video “Like a Virgin.”

Plus, Madonna’s gay brother Christopher Ciconne insults her latest hairstyle on TV- is he keeping it real or is he just really jealous?

Also in the news-

Terrible Patrick Swayze, Kanye West joke that’s involves Michael Jackson that’s making the rounds online

Deep in the mountains of rural Tennessee there is a thriving, vibrant network of communities of queer people whose origins go back to the beginnings of the modern gay rights movement with the Radical Faeries.

Planet IDA, Short Mountain Sanctuary and Pumpkin Hollow are just some of the places where folks live in an open and free environment with the goal of stimulating personal growth and creativity.

Today we’re talking to two well known residents of IDA, Tom Foolery and Maxzine Weinstein from the Eggplant Faerie Players, the community’s traveling performance group.

While camping in Minnesota, musician Jen Porter was trapped inside her tent at night while a terrible tornado raged on.

The next morning Jen awoke not in the land of Oz, but next to an enormous tree trunk that crashed next to her tent, only a foot away from her head.

Jen’s always been appreciative for what she’s got, and this near-death experience really fueled her latest album “Closer to the Surface.”

Freshly back from Aruba to celebrate the holidays, we’ve got Jen in the home studio with her new album and a new tattoo. Will her new symbol replace her name?

Join us as we play music for her new album and Jen improvises a musical rendition of the viral “Brad Pitt” poem that’s become a big hit online. The over the top poem by Aaron Smith questions whether Brad Pitt ever gets anxious about his body.

Jen Porter was nearly crushed to death by a tree that fell by her tent.

On the advice of a co-worker, Sam Norman, took one of his funny catch phrases and turned it into an outrageous song.

Just for kicks, he and his friend Andrew Swant made a music video for the song and it quickly went viral on Youtube, gaining millions of viewers and even the attention of actor Johnny Depp.

The song really went thought the roof when the TV show, South Park licensed it as a number for one of its characters.

What happens when your first video becomes an overnight sensation?

Today we’re talking to the one and only Samwell- in the flesh over the origins of “What, What in the Butt,” his future plans and his authenticity.

Believe it or not, some people think he’s a fake- just an actor hired by a marketing company.

In person Samwell is an easy going, witty, fun-loving guy who lives in Chicago and travels across the country to perform for his fans.

But- will there be a “What, What in the Butt” movie?

In the news:
All Bear Boy Band- Bear Force 1 take their last dump in the woods.

India offers voters the ability to choose “O” for other when declaring their sex in the voting booth.

NASA’s experiment to find water on the moon has turned out to be a “smashing” success!

When catch phrases go too far: Beaker’s “meep meep” banned in elementary schools.

And big surprise, Carrie Prejean has more than just one sex tape. How many sex tapes does a hateful, evangelical beauty queen need?

Joshua Aaron Guthals from Kind Monitor on the Feast of Fun podcast

Musician Joshua Aaron Guthals’ work with his band Kind Monitor has been highly praised by New York’s gay musical celebrities. John Cameron Mitchell, best known for his musical film Hedwig and the Angry Inch, calls his music “Sweetly melancholy pop perfection.” Lady Rizo exclaims that his music is so indie that it’s actually indie!

Everybody loves Kind Monitor’s dark melodies matched by Joshua’s sensitive brooding voice.

Today, Joshua is in the home studio playing songs from his EP Album, Somebody Saves My Life Most Every Single Day, currently available on iTunes. Please buy the music through the link on our site.

Joshua coined the name of the band, Kind Monitor after eavesdropping on the tragic stories of recovering heroin addicts hanging outside his bedroom window in San Francisco.

Listen as we talk with Joshua about overcoming stage fright and the ties between perfectionism and procrastination. Why are so many performers afraid to perform? Why do some musicians never get their songs or albums finished?

Joshua shares his experience of living in New York City during the events of September 11 and how he moved to San Francisco to recover from the tragedy.

[UPDATE: there was a technical error with some of the songs, it's been fixed.]

You can catch Kind Monitor at Joe’s Pub on Aug 30 at 7:30.
