When Tori Amos drops albums, they tend to be very conceptual and have ties to previous albums. However, when she drops an EP or B-sides, Tori really shines with songs that tend to have more humor and spontaneity. That is definitely the case with her new EP, White Telephone To God. “White Telephone To God”…
A few days before I was scheduled to leave on vacation for Quebec City, I found out Debbie Harry and Chris Stein of Blondie fame were doing a book signing at Bookmarc (400 Bleecker St) in New York City. It wasn’t the most convenient but there was no way in hell I was missing an…
I first discovered Jenn Champion’s music thanks to her campaign on Kickstarter for her album The Last Night Of Sadness that dropped last year. I really like Jenn’s solo stuff but she also did an EP back in 2020 called Recents, with her wife Arwen Nicks, that’s just as good as Jenn’s solo work. Jenn…
Bonjour! Bienvenue a Quebec! This week my partner and I decided to road trip it to Quebec City because it’s roughly a seven-hour drive north of us, it wouldn’t be any hotter than Connecticut and it would feel like a whole new country…well it is, but Canada doesn’t really count. All I knew about Quebec…
I’ve been a fan of Rupaul’s Drag Race ever since the beginning (shocking, I know) and just finished season sixteen. Out of all those seasons, there has only been one queen that I became a fan of. Pandora Boxx from season two. Rupaul doesn’t always make the best decisions on Drag Race, in my gay…
Last year Griff dropped her EP Vert1go Vol 1 and then a few months ago she released the Ver2igo Vol 2 EP. Both are great and show the growth of Griff’s music, with more serious lyrics over her signature upbeat pop sound. These EP’s songs are combined with six new tracks to make up Griff’s…
Pablo Picasso had his Blue Period from 1901 to 1904 (welcome to Art History 101) but I much prefer Twinnie’s Blue Trilogy which started last year with her Blue Hour (After Dark) and Blue Christmas EPs and continues with her latest EP, Blue Hour (Before The Dawn). Blue Hour (Before The Dawn) is a six-pack…
I started June off by celebrating my favorite queer movie of all time, First Period, and decided to end Pride Month celebrating one of my favorite queer divas, Be Steadwell, and her new album Dear Ex: The Musical. Dear Ex is a musical that Be wrote because she had “never seen a musical about Black…
This past weekend I was introduced to the Good Person EP by new-to-me diva Camille Schmidt, who has a very cool folksy-pop sound. Camille’s sound is laid-back and mellow on the majority of the six-track EP except for “Fakeout Ending” which is rocking. In my gay opinion, the lyrics are begging for some self-love and…
In honor of Pride Month, I thought I’d revisit my favorite all-time favorite gay movie. What is the greatest gay movie of all time, in my gay opinion, you ask? “Philadelphia” with gay-for-pay actor Tom Hanks playing the stereotypical AIDS victim suing his law firm for unlawful firing practices. No thanks, the only believable part…
