Belinda Carlisle is one of the divas that I follow who is probably better known for being a member of a group (the historic Go-Go’s) than her solo career. However, in my gay opinion, her solo work is way more impressive. I’ve been following her career since she went solo with her single “Mad About You”…

Shawn Colvin’s A Few Small Repairs 20th Anniversary Edition
Twenty years ago I was working as a sales associate in the Music, Movies & More department of an electronics store called Nobody Beats The Wiz. Somebody did beat The Wiz because it went out of business. One of the perks of the job (there weren’t many) was hearing the new music when it came out…
Tori Amos’ Native Invader Deluxe
When I think of the divas I discovered in the 90’s, Tori Amos is one of the first to come to mind. Her raw emotional singing and heart wrenching lyrics on her album Little Earthquakes shook me to my closeted core. Finally a diva who sang about a darker time and understood that everything wasn’t…
Doria Roberts
I recently discovered a new diva to follow when I was on vacation in Atlanta, Georgia. While there, none of my divas were touring in the area, so I decided to check out a new one instead. I’m glad I did. I went to see Doria Roberts in concert at The City Winery and was completely…
Atlanta Or Bust
My partner and I had a week off this month and were looking for somewhere to go on vacation. My partner suggested Atlanta, Georgia for a couple reasons. First they have good public transportation (neither of us like to drive when on vacation), secondly it was more in the path of the eclipse than Connecticut,…
Paula Cole’s Ballads
I’m a huge Paula Cole fan as I’ve stated from time to time in this blog, from how I first became a fan to her incredible performing style. Paula’s new album Ballads is a personal ode to her first love, American jazz and folk music. In honor of it’s release, I’d also like to take this opportunity…
Cell Phones: A Great Advance In Technology Or A Pain In My Ass?
Anyone who knows me, knows that I am not a cell phone person. The main reason I have a cell phone is in case of emergencies. Thankfully I’ve never needed one for that reason especially since I don’t know where mine is half the time. So what do I use my phone for? When I’m hanging out with friends and…
Alexander Jean’s High Enough EP
There have been a few updates since I posted my Alexander Jean’s Head High EP post. First, BC Jean and Mark Ballas, who make up Alexander Jean, are now a married writing and recording duo. Secondly, after having seen them in concert, I can say that they are beyond talented and so much fun live. BC Jean is the reason I…
Katy Perry’s Witness
In my gay opinion, it’s hard to remember a time when Katy Perry wasn’t a household name. I can’t believe it’s been almost a decade since Katy began dominating the charts. I remember being in my car on the way to hang out with friends when I first heard “I Kissed A Girl” and I knew I…
Ingrid Michaelson’s Alter Egos EP
I’m a big fan of Ingrid Michaelson as well as her album It Doesn’t Have To Make Sense. I was lucky enough to catch her in concert for the first time when she was on tour supporting the album and she didn’t disappoint. When I heard that she was going to team up with other…
