What I like about Bonner Black is just how honest her songwriting is. Her new EP, Little Bird In A Big Sky, is musical storytelling at it’s best with a sound that is unlike anything else out there, strong vocals over a modern pop country-folkish vibe. Bonner reflects on her past (“Happy As We Were”),…
This past weekend my partner and I made an overnight trip to New York City for the sole purpose of seeing Cat Cohen’s off-Broadway show “Broad Strokes” at the Lucille Lortel Theatre (121 Christopher St.) before it closes Sept 25th. The almost three hundred seat Lucille Lortel Theatre is within blocks of the historical Stonewall…
Every night I strip down to my skivvies, crawl into bed with my first love, and run my fingers up and down his spine. Obviously, I’m talking books, what else would you expect from someone who uses the word skivvies? It’s been a while since I’ve been this excited in bed (literarily speaking) thanks to…
What if the “Clueless” crew were less concerned about giving makeovers and more focused on surviving Coachella as cannibals? Or if the “Mean Girls” became zombies who just stepped off a Pride float? Then you’d have Kayla Cottingham’s book “This Delicious Death.” In my gay opinion, it’s a fun and unusual horror read, telling the…
Recently one of my friends suggested we go to New York City to see a show, usually he does the star-studded Tony Award winners (I don’t know who Tony is) but I prefer off, off Broadway’s indie vibe. He gives me a hard time about my taste so it was time to subject him to…
All I know about tennis is grunting people with rackets try to get a fuzzy yellow ball over a net until someone hits the net or the ball goes over the white line, then the court-side lifeguard in the tall chair tells you who won. I know historic players like Martina Navratilova and Billie Jean…
Leave it to Madonna to cash in on something that’s been around forever but make it her own. Sequels are a staple in film but I don’t think it’s been done in music, until Confessions II, a companion to her 2005 album Confessions On A Dance Floor. Historically sequels are never as good, but in…
Today’s the day I’ve been waiting years for, the drop of a new KiKi Holli + The Remedy EP, Something About You. The five-track EP is catchy retro rock like Kiki’s previous EP, Chemical Love; four original songs and a slow-jam cover of “Don’t Change” by INXS. KiKi is remincent of rock chicks like Grace…
Regina Richards went into her secret stash of demos to bring the world her newest EP, If You Go, containing five unheard tracks from the 80’s newly mixed and mastered. I’m guessing Regina’s archival vault has a beaded curtain, is painted neon, and houses totes of hair ties, bangle bracelets and more Aqua Net than…
Chip Pons’ new book, “Dearly Departed” is shadows and spice and everything nice. A tale as old as time, Levi the small-town florist meet cutes and falls in love with local mysterious funeral director Hayden. It’s obviously a fairy tale because who ever heard of gay funeral directors and florists…oh also, Hayden is actually mythical…
