Who knew in August 2006 when I agreed to cat sit for my partner’s co-worker’s two cats that my TV-watching and diva-stalking life would be changed forever. I agreed to help Betty and Ernest’s parents (I don’t remember their names) for two reasons #1: I love cats and #2: they had cable and air conditioning,…
In the past, Vanessa Carlton had a very distinct sound with strong vocals over pop piano playing but on her new album, Love Is An Art, Vanessa has matured. New songs like “Future Pian,” “Back To Life” and “The Only Way To Love” could have been on any of her previous albums but with a…
The Coronavirus is hitting everybody hard and in different ways. For me it means still having to work but keeping an extra social distance from my coworkers (easily done) and instead of going out at night to the gym, a concert, or dinner with friends (not as easy), I’m staying home. Just before normalcy came…
Whether it’s my favorite ice tea or a sweaty gym rat whose wife beater rides up from his glute grabbing shorts so his belly button winks at me, I’m a sucker for a six pack. That rule also applies to Lenka’s new EP, Discover, with its six pack of abs-solutely fabulous songs. Discover is the…
Lisa Loeb is the only diva I have stalked in the wild. Picture it, March 1998, it’s the middle of Nowheresville, Connecticut and I’m working the front desk of a car rental agency tucked inside a car dealership. My supervisor’s fiance is the manager of a nearby hotel, when they have someone in need of…
I was recently introduced to Madison Malone’s EP I & II. I love discovering a new-to-me singer-songwriter diva but the fact she’s a queer singer-songwriter interested me even more. I think many singer-songwriters phone it in and pander to the mainstream but not Madison, in my gay opinion, she just sings her truth honestly and…
I don’t normally blog about singles but I’ve been breaking that rule more and more lately. Bryce Drew’s “Lucky Number” is going to be the exception to this rule once again. This single I have been waiting years for, and in my gay opinion, it was worth the wait. Back in 2017 I went to…
It’s no secret that I hate Valentine’s Day and cover albums, but I do love Lenka. When she released her covers EP Recover on Valentine’s Day, I was curious to give it a listen, but who knew I’d get the answers to many of life’s greatest mysteries. “We Belong” – What if Ginger never got…
After doing my post about Kris Angelis’ Pieces That Were Stolen EP, I was lucky enough to see her in concert. She’s so hard-core indie that she traveled across the USA in her car to perform in every state. If the Connecticut show was any indication, she didn’t always play the finest of venues. She…
I’ve been a fan of Echosmith’s ever since they first came on to the scene with their song “Cool Kids” in 2013. They’ve released a few EP’s since but I’ve been waiting patiently for a new full-length album. When I purchased a ticket to their Inside A Dream tour in 2018 it came with…
