When I heard Elle Coves was dropping a new EP (I loved her first one, Selfishly Inclined), I was hoping for more addictive pop which she delivers with No Good At Hanging Up. In my gay opinion, Elle seems to always serve the best sweet sounding pop. I love getting lost in her smooth, perky…
“Twin Flame” is the first song I heard off The Aces new album, Gold Star Baby, which had me excited for the album with it’s building dance beat and “Welcome To Gold Star Baby” (I’m really not a fan of intros or interludes, this album has both) promised an album “serenading you with sounds of…
I use Kickstarter to fulfill my desire to discover new music and most campaign perks scratch my itch for autographed merch. I use it like a dating app, swiping to search out new indie divas that strike my fancy. This past weekend, Gina Zo’s campaign to tour and put out her debut album, burn me…
When folks think of me, they don’t really think “sensitive” (shocking, I know) but there is something about me that is…my teeth. Growing up, dental care involved brushing occasionally and a dentist visit wasn’t a luxury we could afford until the Ambesol couldn’t mask the pain any longer. As an adult, I overcompensated as I…
Once a year my sister and I vacation together. We both go with the flow and have a good time doing even the stupidest things, however, neither of us can make decisions and are unwilling to put effort into planning. So, this year we decided to do a bus tour from Connecticut to Saint John,…
The last Pride event I went to in June was a panel of authors at my favorite Connecticut bookstore, RJ Julia Booksellers. The panel consisted of Chip Pons and Marie Rutkoski and was hosted by Troix Jackson. They discussed their coming out stories and tropes their books contained, ones they might explore in the future…
June may be over but the party isn’t, not when Tears & Gearz just dropped their new EP, Father Figure Fantasy. Every day is Pride and Father’s Day in Tears & Gearz world. This singer / songwriter duo’s sound is canned electro-pop with sexy and fun lyrics. Father Figure Fantasy is a little four-song taste…
Welcome to my Gay Asian Graphic Novel Era. I just finished “It Rhymes With Takei” by George Takei and before that it was Mike Curato’s “Gaysians”. I really hope my love of these two authors and books officially makes me a Rice Queen, because I’ve always wanted to be royalty. George is best known for…
For Pride Month, I decided to give Mike Curato’s new graphic novel “Gaysians” a shot. Gaysians? The title is fucking hysterical and the cover’s artwork caught my eye. How could I pass up a book that’s a tongue-in-cheek gay nod to Amy Tan’s “The Joy Luck Club” with a little “Sex And The City” and…
I’m a huge Echosmith fan and when I heard the lead singer and sister in the group, Sydney Quiseng, came out with her first solo EP Phases, I had to check it out. Echosmith’s sound is very electro-pop but Sydney’s EP has a more stripped down, singer-songwriter vibe. I love a guitar and vocal focused…
