Recovery Music Matinee: Lady Rizo

For my brothers and sisters at the family reunion.

Recovery Music Matinee: Jackie Beat

God, I love Jackie Beat.

Recovery Music Matinee: Chick-fil-a

Today's offering comes to you from from three of LA's most talented drag queens, Vicky Vox, Detox Icunt, and Willam Belli of DPDRS4 fame.

I haven't been on Team Willam but I love fresh parody. And releasing your music video on the same day you get kicked off your reality show? Brilliant marketing.

My hat is off to you ladies.

Recovery Music Matinee: The Sayer's Club

If you've been following this blog for any length of time then you are probably clued in to my little cover obsession. Sometimes whole months go by and that's all I've posted on here.



(I don't think this month is going to be any different)

My fella and I had the opportunity to see LP at the elusive Sayer's Club last week and it was the best live show i've seen in a very long time. I'm not gonna ruin it with words, just go watch every youtube video you can get your hands on.

Recovery Music Matinee: Princess Peach

Lana Del Rey and Super Mario Bros, two great tastes that taste great together...

Recovery Music Matinee: Justin Bond

This week's offering is a clip of the incomparable Mx. Justin Vivian Bond performing Carly Simon's classic ode to 1970's douchery, "You're So Vain."

Last night my Special Gentleman Friend and i got all dressed up and headed down to the Red Cat Theater and the Disney Concert Hall in down town LA, where it was our pleasure and our privilege to see Mx Bond read selections from v's new book, Tango: My Childhood, Backwards and in High Heels, sing and tell some of the most hilarious-astonishing-riveting-brutal stories you've ever heard. V didn't sing "You're So Vain," but v did perform a brilliant selection of covers and songs from her two albums, Dendrophile and Pink-Slip, including Stevie Nicks' "Rhiannon" and this number...

It was kinda epic. If you've never seen Justin Bond perform, I insist that you do. I don't think i've ever seen a more captivating and charming story teller (excepting possibly the late Christopher Hitchens). Unfortunately last night was v's last LA show, but you have one last chance to catch Mx. Bond before v leaves California in San Francisco on the 23rd at the Great American Music Hall. Go.

On another note, today is President's Day here in The States, and I have a lot to say about the ongoing amazingness/clusterfuck that is the Republican nominating process. But i'll save that for tomorrow, and just leave you with this...
