In honor of Pride month, I decided to put my money where my mouth is…isn’t that kind of gross, haven’t I learned anything from COVID…by backing the new-to-me diva, Jenn Champion’s Kickstarter campaign to get her next album (The Last Night Of Sadness) made. Jenn is the self-proclaimed “gayer of the gays” so you don’t…
The Susanna Hoffs book event for the release of her new book ‘This Bird Has Flown” was my second time at an event at The Strand Bookstore in New York City but my first time in their rare books room, think a library in a mansion but with fairy lights and a cash register. I…
How is it that Juliette Lewis released her album Future Deep in 2016 and I’m only finding out about it now? Juliette Lewis is a singer, what? Even worse, Facebook had to be the one to tell me. I don’t post anything on Facebook or follow any friends or family, I only use it to…
Over the past few years I’ve been lucky enough to see Sophie B Hawkins in concert a bunch of times. She has been promising a new album and teasing a few of the new songs. Finally her new album, Free Myself, has dropped and it’s totally been worth the wait. Finally I get to hear…
Welcome to my Top 40 of 2022! These are my favorite songs, off the best albums and EPs of the year, at least in my gay opinion. This year was full of new-to-me divas. Kickstarter kicked off 2022 with an Another Nguyen campaign and wound down the year with one by Heather Mae. While Spotify…
Every year I eagerly anticipate which divas are going to give in to the holiday spirit and grace us with their unique take on a traditional style of song. This year Santa’s sack is well-endowed with many dashing diva delights. A terrific twosome of singles, a dynamic duo of EPs and a perfect pair of…
Last year I was introduced to the the album Changemakers by musical poetress Crys Matthews. I got to experience her live show this year at The Parlor Room in Northampton, MA and she’s great recorded but live she takes her talent to a whole new level. Last week, Crys tweeted about Heather Mae’s new Kickstarter…
Shadows isn’t your grandma’s Tiffany album. Gone are the days when Nanna could reminisce about all the times she would couple skate at the roller rink as “Could’ve Been” played over the PA sytem. Tiffany has traded in her jean jacket for leather and soft pop for hard rock. Her last few albums have taken…
When I heard Carly Rae Jepsen was coming out with a new, more personal album called The Loneliest Time, I thought she might be a darker and brooding Carly this time around. Nothing says distraught like the album cover; Carly wearing tulle while pensively looking over some fake pears wrapped in pearls and dead flowers…
In my gay opinion, Chloe Moriondo’s new album Suckerpunch has a sound unlike anything they have done previously and unlike anything I have heard before. It’s got a very experimental rock/pop sound, it’s quirky and mildly psychotic. There’s enough Auto-Tuning throughout to make Cher and Rupaul flip their wigs. Britney and Christina get shout-outs on…
