In my gay opinion, the best indie book store in Connecticut is RJ Julia Booksellers in Madison. Wanting to support my fav bookstore and a gay author, I bought my $28.71 ticket for their Cody Rigsby photo-op event that came with a signed copy of his autobiography, “XOXO, Cody.” You know I love my autographed…
The thing I love about Maria Mena and her music is that she always goes there, especially on her new album And Then Came You. Whether she’s singing about a relationship’s messy end (her entire new album), mental health (“Try Again Tomorrow”) or death (“It Was Love”) she lays all her cards on the table…
1993 was a monumental year. At the time, I was working at a local electronics store in their music and movie department. Musically, Melissa Etheridge released her iconic, queer-anthem album, Yes I Am, and personally I was coming to terms with my own queerness with the help from a few angels of my own. Melissa…
Nxdia (pronounced Nadia with they/he/she pronouns) is a new to me diva. Their new EP In The Flesh caught my attention because it’s unlike anything out there right now but with a little familiarity because it borrows from so many genres. Nxdia’s bi-lingual (English and Arabic) song writing is solid and impressive. The EP’s sultry…
Conservatives have been making a huge stink about drag queens lately, especially reading story books to children, trying to spread their gayness. Let me share a little secret with you about the Gay Agenda, the drag queens were only our first step in making the world more fabulous, our real secret weapon is Idina Menzel’s…
I’m sure it’s no surprise that I’m a sucker when it comes to fun pop, so when I saw Bexx had a new EP called Sucker, I had to give it a listen and I’m so glad I did. The music is upbeat, the lyrics roll off the tip of my tongue as I play…
The town of Sturgeons might have it’s cute little motto of “The Good Life Begins And Ends Here!” but their travel bureau has their work cut out for them with the odd things going on around town. The first half of this serial book (“Darkening Sturgeons“) has town folks disappearing like flies under dark and…
Lately, roughly a year or so after the drop of a new album, the stars align and Carly Rae Jepsen is gracing us with the b-sides from that album. It’s that magical time again, almost a year after The Loneliest Time, and Carly has released The Loveliest Time. This is her third time dropping a…
If a musician or band has a self-titled album, it’s usually their first. Echosmith chose to break that rule on their newest self-titled album. Although it’s their third, it feels like a new beginning. Of course they still have their pop sound but this time it’s more mature and subdued, not so in your face…
I’ve recently discovered Lynnea M’s EP from last year, Shades Of Indigo, thanks to Spotify. According to Google research, many people might know her from being on The Voice, which I haven’t watched since the first season. I only made it through the first few episodes, losing interest when the professionals started messing with their…
