The Hidden Cameras are honoured to be the inspiration behind the titles of two recent German language books.

#1 “Music Is My Boyfriend: Texte 1990-2010” is a collection of music articles by the late and well-respected music journalist Martin Büsser. The book begins by quoting the classic Cameras’ song, “I found music and he found me, he kept me singing ‘til my dying day” and continues later with a chapter devoted to the band itself. The Hidden Cameras are pleased to be credited for the quotation (unlike those title stealing ho’s, CSS, Skye Sweetnan and the like.)

#2 In German academic book by Sushila Mesquita, “Ban Marriage!” the author “explores the ambivalences of normalization of lesbians and gays in contemporary ‘western’ societies from a queer-feminist perspective.” “Ban Marriage! Ambivalenzen der Normalisierung aus queer-feministischer Perspektive” (which would translate to “Ban Marriage! Ambivalences of normalization from a queer-feminist perspective” in English) is available now.
