Ever since I’ve been going to New York City, one thing I’ve always wanted to do was go to the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. It never happened because I had no interest in getting up at some ungodly hour to get into the city early enough to stalk out a good spot on the parade…
Gay People Problems
Where are you going to attend college? Who are you going to marry? What career are you best suited for? What’s for dinner? We all have choices and decisions to make that impact the rest of our lives. Stress bears down on us at every turn. We’ve all been there. Last month, I found myself…
David Does Nashville…The Cheap And Gay Way
I never had much interest in visiting Nashville because it’s the country music capital of the world and I’m not much of a country music fan. However, after getting hooked on the TV show Nashville, I decided it was somewhere I’d like to visit. My sister came home a few years back raving about it…
Anna Nalick’s At Now
I was super excited to receive my email from Pledge Music announcing the release of Anna Nalick’s new album, At Now. It’s been six years since her last album Broken Doll & Odds & Ends and a dozen years since becoming a fan of her huge hit “Breathe (2 AM).” In my gay opinion Anna is more…
Lenka’s Attune
The thing I love most about Lenka and her music is how fun and quirky they both are. Whenever Lenka releases a new album, I know I’m in for a good time, and Attune is no different. From the unique instruments like a clap machine (“Flesh And Bone”) or a xylophone (“Crystal Ball”), to a song…
Madi Diaz’s It’s Okay To Be Alone EP
Back in 2014 I came across a free EP download called Stripped Chopped + Screwed by Madi Diaz. I’d never heard of Madi before but I’m never one to turn up free music or the chance to discover a new diva, plus with a title like that, how could I go wrong? It contained five…
Echosmith’s Inside A Dream EP
I became an Echosmith fan, like many people, the minute I heard their hit single “Cool Kids” back in 2013. I bought their album Talking Dreams and their EP Acoustic Dreams which is some of the Talking Dreams songs stripped down. What I like about Echosmith is that they have an upbeat vibe and make…
Belinda Carlisle’s Wilder Shores
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…
