I’ve been a sucker for Kris Angelis’ modern-folk sound for years now and the sway-worthy, singer-songwriter siren is back with her new album Damn Shame Waste. Once again, Kris bares her soul musically and lyrically in a way that only she can. The album starts out (“Run” “A Different Story” “Paper Planes.”) with a retro-country gospel…
In my gay opinion, Jenifer Lewis is a diva and a “double D cup diva” at that, by her own admission. Back in 2018, I went to my first Jenifer Lewis book event for “The Mother Of Black Hollywood,” which was so memorable that I was thrilled when Barnes & Noble Union Square in New…
A queer horror book, sign me up! When I got an email from RJ Julia Booksellers in Madison, Connecticut announced they were having a discussion and book signing with Ryan La Sala for his queer-horror book “The Honeys”, I was all over it. The book blurb described The Honeys themselves as a beautiful and terrifying…
You may be asking yourself who is Fanny? I was asked myself the same thing when I saw the “Fanny: The Right To Rock” documentary show up on my list of films to watch for a local QUILTBAG film festival that I’m a committee member of. After watching the doc, my only question is, how…
In my gay opinion, Carly Rae Jepsen no longer has the market cornered on feel-good pop music, let me introduce you to Genes. I dare you to listen to her latest EP, Super Single, and not find yourself breaking out in a smile, bobbing your head to the beat or pulling out your finger guns…
In May I discovered NoSo’s music when they opened for Molly Burch at Space Ballroom here in Connecticut. NoSo’s musical style and sound caught my attention, putting them on my radar, and I’ve been looking forward to the release of their new album, Stay Proud Of Me, ever since. Last week, my wait was finally…
Welcome to the Carnie Cabaret, where things really pop and get a little jazzy with a wink of burlesque! Andriana Chobot will be your chanteuse this evening. She’ll clomp out onto the rickety wooden stage in her “Intro,” plug in her amp and buckle you in for an unexpectedly rich trip through her new album,…
Thanks to Spotify’s Discover Weekly I was recently introduced to Yehra’s 2021 EP, Magnetic. My curated playlist is usually chock-full of upbeat indie-pop, but sometimes I like my vibe mellowed and a little dreamy, and that’s exactly what Yehra delivers. I was instantly drawn to “Magnetic – Extended Version” with it’s smooth finger-snapping sound and…
When I think “meditation album,” I think of monks ringing dinner bells, whales mating and Enya moaning. Alanis Morissette’s new meditation album, The Storm Before The Calm, is shockingly exactly that. I thought the diva who brought movie theater blow jobs to Top 40 radio in the 90’s might bring something new to New Age,…
Welcome to the club…the country dance club of universal angst. Twinnie’s new four-song EP has you covered no matter what your sitch. In my gay opinion, this pop-country foursome is all about inclusion and survival. Whether… you’re lost and looking for your tribe…. your maths aren’t adding up on your current break-up… you can’t find…
