A week ago I blogged on the heteronormative framework, and how some people don't fit into it. Usually heteronormativity is an LGBT (and other alphabet soup) issue, but here's a lovely counterexample of it, at least from the perspective of western ideas of femininity. Tanya Tagaq is an innuit throat singer. I love this performance in particular, because she is dressed in an ideal western-style feminine clothes, accompanied by a western instrument, but her singing really puts the western idea of femininity to question.
It's also one of the coolest songs I ever heard.
