record of the week 002: divine

This edition of Record of the Week doubles as a tribute to the late great Harris Glenn Milstead a.k.a Divine.

The album: A rare 1984 single, containing synth-overload disco beats coupled with raspy sassy vocals, titled "I'm so Beautiful".















The night Divine died he had dinner with friends and returned to his hotel, leaned over the balcony and sang Arrivederci Roma, before exiting into his room for the night.

I just want to say thank-you, for briefly gracing this world with your weird and exorbitant genius.
