A Third Sex reunion show with The Haggard and Kaia Wilson

The Third Sex from their 7" "Mombies" cover

Anyone who is roughly my age and experienced Portland at the height of its dyke rock 90s knows the The Third Sex. Indeed my newly out 14 year old self swooned over the dreamy screamy vocals of Trish Walsh and Peyton Marshall.

For most of the length of [...]

Lady Gaga Christmas album video spoof

Even my favorites aren’t safe from teasing. This is a pretty amusing little Lady Gaga Christmas album spoof in video form.

Lady Gaga gets in the holiday spirit with this compilation of soon to be classics such as Bad Snowmans and Ho-ho-Hoker Face .

Featuring: Justin Brown, Talyor Sele, Andrew Ford, Junie Kenworthy, Rachel Geiman, Mike Antonucci [...]

‘That’s What She Said’ comedy benefit

Amy Turner and Kathryn Lounsbery of That's What She Said

Good looks are great, but nothing’s hotter than a lady that’s both sexy and funny. And while I have not seen the That’s What She Said duo in person the ladies of comedy have been getting rave reviews. (And I’m a sucker for a puffy [...]

New Lady Gaga video for ‘Bad Romance’

I’m obsessed with Lady Gaga, and how can you not be? Her new video for Bad Romance is set in a blindingly white bathhouse. Who knew so weird could be so hot.

Music video Monday with Men, Yo Majesty and Athens Boys Choir

After attending a video release party in NYC in early May, I eagerly awaited the online arrival of Athens Boys Choir’s “EZ Heeb” directed by former Portlander Ali Cotterill. It took many months but the rollerskating, Atlantic City fantasy date is funny on the inter-tubes.

New music video for The Gossip’s “Love Long Distance”

I’m not exactly sure what balloon-headed, unitard-wearing, rollerskating has to do with love, but the video for the Gossip’s most recent release “Love Long Distance” (from the brand-spanking new album Music for Men) is charming and wonderful nevertheless. It’s worth watching for the keytar alone, but really the animated floating heads of Beth Ditto, Brace [...]

Music video for Storm Large’s (My vagina is…) ‘8 Miles Wide’

One of the queerest straight girls in showbiz Storm Large is a favorite to just about everybody, but locals will especially appreciate the gender-bending hilarity set against familar backdrops such as the Someday Lounge, Mary’s strip club and South park blocks.

Plus it’s just fun to say vagina.

Oh and the song’s pretty good too…

I can’t believe I almost forgot about tonight’s Men show at the Doug Fir (830 E Burnside). Le Tigre fans will recognize the electronic artsy dance fun spearheaded by JD Samson.

Here’s a little snippet from the current J/O Diversion:

New video for ‘So Human’ from Lady Sovereign

Leave it to a Brit rapper with outlandish fashion sense to successfully break down the human condition. And the multiple personalities as displayed on magazine covers can offer a great start to a philosophical discussion as well.

One more thing. The therapist in the video is hot. Do you need any more reason to love this [...]
