One of the perks of stalking indie divas is they appreciate their fans more and tend to have the best merch, Kris Angelis is no exception. Not only is Kris an amazing singer / songwriter but when she releases a new album or EP, she promotes her albums like nobody’s business solo. Plugging the new…
If you know me, you might know that attending an AA meeting is on my bucket list. No, I don’t have a problem (I’m too cheap to invest in an addiction), I just like the idea of people with a common bond going somewhere to have coffee and cookies while sharing stories. Maybe I just…
Donna De Lory, in my gay opinion, is one of those divas who can sing any style and make it sound good. Lately her go-to style is uplifting, new-age dance. That’s how she starts her new EP, We Shine, with “Diamonds In The Sun (We Shine)” but the rest of the EP branches out into…
In my gay opinion, Bill Gates needs to develop a dating app for album covers, isn’t he the one who creates everything for the internet? Babygirl’s Losers Weepers EP would totally get my right swipe. What’s not to love? The duo is called Babygirl, there’s a crying cheerleader all alone on the bleachers, and the…
I’m a total whore for autographed merch. I discovered Twinnie because she had autographed copies of her album Hollywood Gypsy on her website and that convinced me to check out her music, which I’m glad I did. I was seven months late for the party but better late than never. A month after my original…
When I heard that Foxes was releasing an EP of her recent singles and a few bonus songs, I was ecstatic. In my gay opinion, that’s how it should be done. A pet peeve of mine is when divas release a bunch of singles but don’t compile them into an album or at the very…
Ok, I’m totally going to date myself…which is unusual here, since that usually involves a package of Oreos, a Magic Mike movie marathon and a box of tissues. However, back in 1986 this was my jam: Ahhh…the 80’s when invading people’s privacy was sexy and so were sax solos! Regina’s Madonna-esque sound (and need for…
When people think protest music, Bob Dylan or one of the Guthrie’s might come to mind. If you’re like me and prefer divas, Joni Mitchell or Joan Baez might be up your alley. Although to be honest, I don’t know any of their catalogs and couldn’t pick them out of a police line-up. Until recently,…
This post is continuing my blog’s recent trajectory of Canadian divas who are saving me from the Great Diva Drought of 2021. My partner heard a lot of buzz about the Canadian TV show “Jann” coming to Hulu, a fictionalized tale of a real-life diva from back in the day and her attempts to revamp…
As mentioned in my last Alanis post, my divas haven’t been putting out new music, causing me to spend time searching for old albums and new-to-me divas. Again it’s Canadians that rescued me from the doldrums of tired tunes. Spotify recommended Toronto-based Babygirl’s 2018 Lovers Fevers EP to me a few weeks ago and I…
