Alas, this song arrived too late to be included in my QMH Christmas Show, and I already posted it on my Facebook page, but I AM NUTS about the video! It is Flawless, and has it all: xmas music, drag queens, a 60’s-style arrangement, and, yes, talent. Meet Miss Vicki Vivacious, Miss Maddison Lee and…

Not a music entry this time, but sort of a “spoken word” one, by one of the most popular “models” of physique magazines of the mid-1950’s and early 1960’s, Jim Stryker. The very amateur “dialogue” (and delivery) was fairly suggestive, considering the times, and I think it was certainly intended for the listener to “read…

Here’s an unusual gay Christmas video I found on YouTube, by Memphis resident Wade Murphy. He has Twitter and Tumbler followers and puts out amusing videos on his YouTube channel. I think this one is quite good, he has a nice singing voice, and….well, the subject matter is quite different. The title is “(All I…

Billy Banks (1908 – 1967) was an American jazz singer popular from the 1930’s through the 1950’s, though he is perhaps best known for the folks who at different times happened to be in his bands, like Red Allen, Tommy Dorsey, Pee Wee Russell, Eddie Condon, and more. It’s also been reported that he dabbled…

Hey, Y’all….you know, there just are Not enough lyrically gay country songs, so I’ve got to spread the word about this one. Richard Hefner wrote and sings it, and it’s called “Girls and Boys,” and not only do I think the song is terrific, and the video, but the reason behind it is as well,…

The title sums it up as succinctly as I can, though I perhaps took some liberties saying “drag queen hustler.” Hustlers who used to wear dresses describe it better. In the 1960’s Rod McKuen was one of America’s best selling poets, and his LPs of poetry and songs sold millions. A 7-CD very deluxe box…

Now, here’s an inspiring & innovative project, OutPostChoir. It’s an online LGBTQ choir where folks from all over, even where there are no choruses near them, can add their voices, taking a pride through unity approach and really doing it, globally. Imagine the good feeling participating in this could give an LGBTQ person “stranded” far…

“Haberdashery is electropop that incorporates multi-layered cinematic sounds with pop sensibilities.” Well, that’s what the website says and I think that sums it up perfectly. What is not immediately obvious is that it’s not a band, it’s the work of one person, Chicago artist and musician Stephen Pearlman. He writes, arranges and records all of…

Okay, this is a shameless plug for my latest OutRadio show…and I think Declan Bennett gave me a terrific interview. And he was oh so patient with me, as I tend to dig deep into someone’s career. We talked for a solid hour and it was all good stuff,  so I wanted to share all…

Okay, I won’t be the first, or last, to write about the new video by Tom Goss. It’s just too delicious to not mention in this blog. He took his song “Make Believe,” from his CD “Turn It Around,” and decided to make himself a work of art, (not that he wasn’t already). Now, I…
