Babygirl’s Stay Here Where It’s Warm

Babygirl dropped their new album, Stay Here Where It’s Warm, last week and it’s just as dreamy as their previous EP’s, Lovers Fevers, Losers Weepers and Be Still My Heart. What I love about Babygirl’s previous EP’s and now Stay Here Where It’s Warm is their sound has remained consistently on brand. They are my…

Debbie Gibson’s Eternally Electric

Hi, I’m Dave and I’m a Debhead. (This is usually where others at the meeting chime in with a “Hi Dave”) I’ve been shaking my love since 1987 (can someone hand me a tissue please) when I first heard Debbie Gibson blasting out of my boom box radio. I wore out my “Out Of The…

Sophie B Hawkins’ Whaler Re-Emerging

Back in the early 90’s, you would totally hear me singing (quite badly) along to “Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover” by Sophie B Hawkins on my boom box (which I wouldn’t retire until the 2000’s). If that song didn’t hit your radar, there’s no way you didn’t know who Sophie was a few…

Be Steadwell’s Chocolate Chip City

Back in my pre-internet youth, I’d take the covered wagon to pick up the newest Sears catalog (What men’s underwear ads? I read it for the articles) or Tiger Beat magazine to find out about new books. Young adult novels with rainbow representation were nonexistent (that’s why David Levithan and Adam Silvera’s work is so…

Gina Zo’s Burn Me Into Something Better

Last month I backed Gina Zo’s Kickstarter campaign to help her get her debut album made and tour to support it. Today is a day to celebrate because not only did Gina reach her goal (which means I can go sit by my mail box waiting for my campaign perks to come rolling in) but…

Kris Angelis’ Le Sigh

In an alternate universe there’s a 1970’s gay Dave looking groovy in his platform shoes, white socks with the red stripe around the calf, plaid bell bottoms, velour top with a deep V-neck and gold chains enmeshing in his chest hair. He’s laying on the floor with his record player and Carole King and Joan…

Marielle Kraft’s The Right People Will Love You

Sure, when it comes to big-name pop divas pumping out love songs for the masses, there’s a bunch to choose from. Perhaps you’re a Swifty, Olivia Rodrigo might be more your speed, or you’re like me and into Sabrina Carpenter because you love her Strawberry Daydream Refresher (hold the ice and cold foam) from Dunkin’…

Belinda Carlisle’s Once Upon A Time In California

Welcome to WKBC in California, the station with 60’s and 70’s easy listening vibes with covers by none other than Belinda Carlisle. The Go-Go’s sound is gone-gone but her solo vocals are just as reverberating and strong as ever. Belinda’s new album, Once Upon A Time In California, has mellow covers of classics you may…

Elle Coves’ No Good At Hanging Up EP

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…

The Aces’ Gold Star Baby

“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…
