Charley’s Timebombs EP is a full-on pop assault. Charley’s the most Top 40 friendly singer that I’ve heard in a while that isn’t getting radio play. I assume it’s hard to break into the US radio market, and even more so, for an Australian artist. Charley’s new EP has taken a page from the Pop…
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,…
1993, what a year! I was ordering Cyndi Lauper’s Hat Full Of Stars and Belinda Carlisle’s Real CDs to fulfill my Columbia House membership. I was running to the theater and falling more in love with Tina Turner because of Angela Bassett’s portrayal of her in What’s Love Got To Do With It. And I…
In my gay opinion, music can be like a time machine. Olivia Newton-John’s “Hopelessly Devoted To You” flashes me back to creating musical productions of Grease in my basement with neighborhood friends (you already know who Sandy was), “Holiday” by Madonna was playing both when I got my first kiss and got into my first…
One of my pet peeves is hanging out with couples who bicker and argue in front of me. Why air your dirty laundry in public? I don’t want to hear it, save it for behind closed doors. If you can’t contain your anger, then have the decency to be passive aggressive about it. All people…
I never had much interest in visiting Nashville because it’s the country music capital of the world and I’m not much of a country music fan. However, after getting hooked on the TV show Nashville, I decided it was somewhere I’d like to visit. My sister came home a few years back raving about it…
In my gay opinion, moving sucks. I’ve moved a couple times in the past few years and with each move I downsize and get rid of stuff I no longer use. However there have been a few items that I just haven’t been able to bare to part with until now. Back in the day,…
Olivia Newton-John and Beth Nielsen Chapman have had long and prolific careers but I was late to the party to become a fan and this is my first introduction to Amy Sky. This trio has the perfect melding of harmony with positivity, whoever brought them together deserves a big thanks. In my gay opinion, they…
When it comes to my divas, I tend to prefer them to be made in the U.S.A. Why you may ask or maybe you don’t care, but either way I’ll tell you. Because those born outside the U.S. don’t tour here as often as I would like, making stalking them much harder. There are some…
