Amy Winehouse - Love Is A Losing Game

Amy Winehouse has made a video for my favorite song from her album Back to Black. How, do you ask, do they get Amy Winehouse to pin down a video despite her having a habit of canceling concerts and meandering around her neighborhood in a bra and jeans at 5 a.m.? The solution is to splice together existing concert and candid footage into an Olan Mills-style montage complete with dramatic fades and double exposure.

Suburban Sex Parties Draw Complaints

I thought this headline hysterical because it reads nonchalantly, as if it is yet ANOTHER suburban sex party. To top it off, the party mentioned in the article is close by in a conservative "city" south of Dallas called Duncanville.

Flashback: When I Wasn't Gay

Sandra Bernhard put out an album in 1994 called Excuses for Bad Behavior, Pt. 1. I don't remember why I bought this CD since the most of what I really knew of her was from her lesbian kiss on Rosanne. It was my last years of college and I remember not taking to it immediately, but loving every track in the end. A few years later I moved to NY and saw Sandra Bernhard at the Westbeth Theatre and was completely blown away. She has the magic.

Album Highlights
Manic Superstar, Sympathy For The Devil, Phone Sex (Do You Want Me Tonight), 50 Ways To Leave Your Lover

This marks the first entry in a recurring blog focused on recently revisited/rediscovered things from my past, mostly music, that are clear indicators of my inner-queer but from a time when I wasn't out. Oh the things time will tell.

Wombs to Rent

From the Daily Mail

British couples are traveling to Anand, India to outsource their pregnancy. Won't you rent this nice lady's womb?

Is this really better than working customer service for Sprint?

Beirut - Elephant Gun

Zach Condon, a.k.a. Beirut, is a young buck-of-a-talented musician. His style is his own and seemingly well thought out and mature despite having not really had that much adult life. Grab some wine and cheese and enjoy the traveling, spirited and very French sound of Beirut. The video is great visually and adds a life to the song that is different than when heard alone.
