I’ve been a Madi Diaz fan for a while, through all her musical style changes on each album. Her newest, Fatal Optimist, is the most stripped down. Mostly just Madi on guitar. Madi co-wrote and co-produced Fatal Optimist, making it extremely personal. Madi’s sound is bare with vocals and lyrics that are full of angst…
Back in August, this story of gratitude, luck and being at the right place at the right time began. I was on my phone at work (what else does one do at work?) when I saw Annie Lennox tickets just went on sale for her two October nights in New York City discussing and signing…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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’…
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…
“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…
I use Kickstarter to fulfill my desire to discover new music and most campaign perks scratch my itch for autographed merch. I use it like a dating app, swiping to search out new indie divas that strike my fancy. This past weekend, Gina Zo’s campaign to tour and put out her debut album, burn me…
