It’s been a year since Lindsay Ell released her Love Myself EP. Her newest, Fence Sitter, is thankfully continuing on her pop journey. Four songs have visualizers and the other a lyric video. Many divas are putting out visualizers instead of a music videos lately. For folks from the MTV generation and too lazy to…
Well it’s that time of year again, time for another Abigail Osborn release. However, this time it’s finally a full-blown album instead of her annual EPs. I Don’t Need To Know How This Ends’ eleven tracks all have Abigail’s emotionally exposed co-written lyrics, but this time the music is more matured and subdued. Lately, I’m…
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…
Hi, I’m Dave and I’m a Debhead. (This is usually where others at the meeting chime in with a “Hi Dave”) I’ve been shaking my love since 1987 (can someone hand me a tissue please) when I first heard Debbie Gibson blasting out of my boom box radio. I wore out my “Out Of The…
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…
Back in my pre-internet youth, I’d take the covered wagon to pick up the newest Sears catalog (What men’s underwear ads? I read it for the articles) or Tiger Beat magazine to find out about new books. Young adult novels with rainbow representation were nonexistent (that’s why David Levithan and Adam Silvera’s work is so…
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…
