Highway Playlist: (2) Le Tigre



Jem & the Holograms were the title characters of their ultra-glam cartoon that ran from 1985-1988. Le Tigre is an American feminist post-punk electro-pop/dance band originally formed in 1998. Their punchy hit song "Deceptacon" is (I suggest) named after the Decepticons, adversaries of the Autobots, robots that transform into other objects including cars, trucks and motorcycles, from the Transformers cartoon series that originally aired in North America in 1984. I am excited to say that later this year Michael Bay's Transformers movie will be launched. Bay is well-known for his extreme high-speed car chase scenes. Fashion, Music, Camp, Cars, Action = MotorQueer Enjoyment!

p.s. Thanks to the guys over at Queerty for finding this one!
