Christine Jorgensen’s “I Enjoy Being a Girl” album On my radio show and website, QMH, I love to feature transgender performers and history, and there could not be better history than Christine Jorgensen (1926 – 1989). While she was not the first person to have sexual reassignment surgery, she certainly was one of the first…

Last year Disappear Fear released a CD that I feel has just not received enough exposure. Now, first off, I don’t want anyone to be confused about Sonia and her many releases. She and her sister Cindy began as Disappear Fear around 1988 and for the first ten years they were billed that way. Then…

Per the website of Stephan Nance, he is Oregon’s foremost awkwardly charming vegan straight-edge queer alternative piano folk rock musician. I would add a dash of quirky to that mix, and he’s been on my radar for a while. I happen to love quirky and he’s been working on his full-length CD for several years…

Okay, that title is more inspired by the names of the first ten songs on his new CD, “Tales of Ten Men.” They are not all love songs, but some of them are, and they are all lyrically gay, which sure puts them down my street. I like this artist a lot. He’s from Australia…

Though his first CD (“The Sun Is Up”) was released in 2003, I only found out about Chris Riffle a year ago, and immediately bought his other two recordings. Reading his bio, it sounds like a story from decades ago…he grew up in a one-room cabin in the woods, though those woods were not that…

I REALLY like this act, and think the name of it is Brilliant! Now, the act is indeed from Athens (Georgia), and started out as a duo, releasing a debut album in 2004 on Daemon Records (label of the Indigo Girls). That one had the clever title of “Rhapsody in T”…clever because the now solo…

John Flanagan’s facebook page lists among his influences Queen, Mika and Lady Gaga…yeah, I can hear that. I guess I hear Mika the most, and as I loves me some poppy dance rock, John’s music was very welcome. How did I hear about him? Well, I rarely have time to listen to the radio shows…

  I think we are all sad to hear the news today of the passing of Sally Ride, the first American woman in space. President Obama gave an appropriate announcement: “As the first American woman to travel into space, Sally was a national hero and a powerful role model. She inspired generations of young girls…

Well, that title description on the press release I just got did its job, it made me stop and listen and I was SO pleased. Frankly, I had not heard of AG (Adrianne Gonzalez just goes by AG). I think the following line from the press release really did it for me: “Through a twist…

Hello, my name is JD. [“Hello, JD”] And I am addicted to the music of Kevin Wong. Well, I guess if you’ve been listening to my show OutRadio that should not be a huge shock. He’s a Toronto artist and I started playing his music on my All-Canadian Artist Show, in March 2010. In June…
