Last month I went to the “Calling All Lifeforms…Is That All There Is To A Tour?” here in Connecticut. Zee Machine was one of the acts on the bill. This was my first introduction to Zee’s music, which is upbeat dance with some ballads thrown in and Zee’s stage presence has a gravitational pull that…
A lot has happened in the two years since I first discovered Heather Mae’s music (thanks to her partner and diva in her own right, Crys Matthews): First of which, What They Hid From Me, is a folksy-pop album with a few tracks (“Ash & Smoke” and “All’s Not Lost”) having a psychedelic 70’s vibe…
Attention Fags & Hags! I might be late to the party, and if that’s the case, shame on anyone who knew about Catherine Cohen and didn’t tell me. If you’re unaware of Cat, let me introduce you to one of the funniest divas I’ve discovered in a while. She’s got the humor of Julie Brown,…
July of last year, Crys Matthews had a Kickstarter campaign to get her album Reclamation made. I backed the campaign, of course, wanting to get my autographed CD (I’m all about the signed merch). A huge perk of backing the campaign was getting a download of the album months before everyone else, so I’ve had…
Nude #9 is Camille Schmidt’s brand new album and she’s continuing to work her folksy-pop sound on much of it, but there are a few tracks that surprisingly veer from her usual style. She branches out a lot on this album and flirts with a lot of different styles. “XOXO” goes very electro-pop with heavily…
Whenever I do a music post, I choose my favorite song off the EP or album, throw it on this playlist and don’t revisit it until the end of the year. It’s fun to hear all my favs put together and how they work together, and this year, they seem to meld. Also, each year…
Well, it’s that time of year again, to sit by my ceramic Christmas tree (since the cats would digest or destroy an artificial one) waiting for my divas to drop their new holiday music. They’ve been a bit stingy this season and left me thirsty for more than just a glass of Silknog, but the…
In my gay opinion, Natalie Imbruglia’s new album is a consolation prize for those of us fans who have been unlucky enough to have not seen her in concert. I’ve been a fan ever since I first heard her song “Torn” back in 1997, however, I’ve never seen her tour the USA. London-Live will just…
Back in 2021, Twinnie released her first album, Hollywood Gypsy and then last week she finally dropped her sophomore album, Something We Used To Say. She made the three year wait worthwhile because this album has twenty-two songs, which is more than some divas greatest hits albums. That being said, Something We Used To Say…
Susanna Hoffs has always been retro. As part of The Bangles, at times they had a 60’s go-go dancer sound. Her Under The Covers trilogy with Matthew Sweet and her solo cover albums (Bight Lights and The Deep End) spanned and borrowed a lot musically from the 60’s through the 80’s. With her new album,…
