Broadway’s Anything Goes cast spoofs “What Makes You Beautiful”

Posted on May 15, 2012 | Leave a comment

The cast and crew of Broadway’s ANYTHING GOES did a great job hamming it up on screen (no surprise there).  The real surprise is that the cast made the sickeningly sweet pop melody What Makes You Beautiful by One Direction bearable.

Call Me Maybe cover by Harvard baseball team

Posted on May 9, 2012 | 2 comments

Harvard students + Baseball + Pop Music = Heaven

Okay so the camera is shaky but these baseball players from Harvard are too cute. I know I recently posted a YouTube version of this song from a group of guys in WeHo which you can see here.  But after seeing these handsome guys hamming it up on camera I felt compelled to post this. I’m sure this video will bring a smile to you as well.

For the record, according to the notes in the video the guy to the left was legitimately asleep and never woke up through the entire filming.

Call Me Maybe

Posted on May 1, 2012 | 1 comment

Its hard to listen to the radio for more than 10 minutes without hearing Carly Rae Jepsen’s pop smash, Call Me Maybe.

However, JLo’s handsome back up dancer, Matt McCall, drag queen Rhea Litre and gay adult film star, Nicco Sky, have created a far more funny and visually appealing video, which I’m sure you’ll enjoy watching (not to mention singing along to).

If you liked this video be sure to check out Randy Blue’s tribute to Kylie Minogue, Get Outta My Way.

Carrie Manolakos cover of “Creep”

Posted on April 26, 2012 | 1 comment

BosGuyDo you love Radiohead’s song “Creep”? I do.  The song was released when I was in college back in the early 90s and it perfectly described how I felt about myself at the time; a combination of self loathing and hatred mixed with confusion and despair.  Sound overly dramatic? What else would you expect from a closeted gay man who’d never been comfortable with his sexuality and seriously thought aside from those mentally ill – was the only person who harbored such thoughts.

I’ve come a long way and for that matter so have we all, but I still love the song and loved Carrie’s version which was recorded in Greenwich Village this April.  This song will be on Carrie’s debut album “Echo”.

Australia Got Talent: Dylan Yeandle

Posted on April 17, 2012 | 2 comments

How is it that this happened last May and I’m only now seeing this video? If America had similar talent, I might just watch our version of this program.  Check out Dylan as he sings Tom Jones Sex Bomb. Does anyone in Australia know what ever became of this Sex Bomb?

FOXY reborn tonight

Posted on April 15, 2012 | 4 comments

Over marathon weekend last April I first wrote about two local DJs who were hosting fun dance nights in Cambridge on Sundays.  The two  DJs, James Cerne and Nathaniel Bluhm played a collection of mostly funky music and mixes from the 80s and 90s with an occasional nod to more contemporary hits.

No Cover or Attitude at Middlesex Lounge 10pm – 2am

At the start of this year James left Boston but Nathaniel has persevered and transformed FOXY which is now at the Middlesex Lounge at 315 Massachusetts Avenue.  Are you one of the many who will have tomorrow, Patriot’s Day, off? Check out tonight’s party, which runs from 10pm – 2am in Central Square.

10 years ago we couldn’t get Kylie Minogue out of our head

Posted on March 28, 2012 | 2 comments

Ten years ago, March 28, 2002, Kylie Minogue’s smash hit Can’t Get You Out of My Head peaked on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US.

I’ve been looking for an excuse to post another video of Kylie for awhile now and this seemed fitting. I was lucky enough to see her in Boston last April where she kicked off the US leg of her tour.  Clearly I’ve Kylie on the brain if I’m still thinking about a show from nearly a year ago.

The 100 greatest gay albums (according to Out Magazine)

Posted on March 22, 2012 | 2 comments

Out Magazine has published the “100 Greatest Gay Albums”.  Truth is they are great albums period, but the gay community new this first and embraced them ahead of the curve.  I say this in part because I’m afraid I just might be a cliche.  A quick look at the album covers featured made me blanch.  At one point I owned or was regularly singing along to nine of the twelve featured albums (the red indicates which albums I’m referring to).I find these lists a bit ridiculous, but I always peruse them.  In case you are wondering Madge makes five appearances on the top 100 appearing respectively at #7, #36, #46, #86 and #87.  I might have bumped her up a bit and included a few other of her CDs but this isn’t my list.

Looking to kill some time at work or see just how “gay” your CD collection was? Check out the Out 100.

Adele vs. Daft Punk

Posted on March 11, 2012 | 1 comment

Loving Serrano’s Adele vs. Daft Punk remix of Something About the Fire. It may not be everyone’s liking, but I love the mash-up, lounge vibe and think it makes for a relaxing way to enjoy a Sunday afternoon.  Pop a bottle of a sparkling wine, sit down with some friends and enjoy. Remix by Carlos Serrano

2012 Grammy’s tribute to Whitney Houston

Posted on February 13, 2012 | 1 comment

The 2012 Grammy’s had Jennifer Hudson sing, I will always love you, as a tribute to Whitney Houston who passed away in her hotel room the night before. Hudson’s soulful version, which started without any musical accompaniment did justice to the original and was the high point of the award ceremony.

Whitney Houston: August 1963 – February 2012

Posted on February 11, 2012 | 4 comments

Maybe its a cliche for a gay blogger to post something about Whitney Houston on the evening of her death, but I loved her voice and her music.  This song has a lot of memories and remains one of my favorite Whitney Houston songs despite the title’s obvious irony.
