Album

The movie/musical of Hedwig And The Angry Inch was an East Coast cause célèbre a couple of years back; we could (and probably did) lazily describe it as the Rocky Horror of the new millennium. Its impact on middling-to-big rock people was greater than it ever was on the British public—for now, as a charity album for the Hetrick-Martin Institute, home to the Harvey Milk School for gay youth, there arrives a twinkling set of Hedwig homages.
