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…
I’m not a big celebrator of birthdays or anniversaries. However, when Shakespears Sister announced a 30th anniversary release of their album Hormonally Yours in a CD/DVD duo-pack nestled in a catsuit sequined pouch with autographed pic, how could I say no to buying a gift for the love of my life…I’m talking about myself, of…
Welcome to CrazyTown! Don’t know where it is? Take a left at the Dairy Queen…yeah, that’s me on the corner in the cow outfit waving a rainbow flag, and it’s just two towns over from Funky Town! Speaking of which, the only style of music Beth Nielsen Chapman doesn’t cover on her new album is…
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…
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…
