There is a new gay night in Wicker Park over at Plan B! Every Sunday, Boys Room at 1635 N Milwuakee Ave, there will be a rotating special guest DJ, featured visual artist and it’s all brought to you by Johnny Hollywood, Carlos Torres + the Plan B Team. I’ll be spinning electro and disco this Sunday, so excited to have been asked to do this! I love new spaces, and love meeting new people and I haven’t DJ-ed in Wicker Park since Chances was still at the Big Horse. Join their facebook group and come and say hi this Sunday.

As quiet as his demeanor, Chris Garneau’s second full length record, El Radio was released yesterday. Fans of Sufjan Stevens or attendees of Queerfest Midwest might already know how powerful this pocket gay’s show can be, but still I’m not surprised I haven’t heard too much about it. His high pitched voice and earnest inflections are for sure specific day and time things, not for hanging, but maybe for cooking a meal for one. In any case, El Radio is out now on Absolutely Kosher, and you should get a copy. Download a track from it below, and watch out! You might get all gay-mo all of a sudden.

Sitting here listening to Music For Men, I can’t help but think of how far they’ve come and am proud to say they’ve stayed true to themeselves throughout. I was reading this really old interview with their guitarist (you can tell it’s old because he’s billed and Nathan, and not Brace Payne) and it’s cool to go back and see him holding on to their punk roots. I mean, today punk is for sale at Hot Topic, and while I fucking love Hot Topic, there is nothing radical punk. What is radical is being yourself in the face of $$, and resisting the urge to change just to make a little extra. Beth Ditto is out, she’s def making headway for the trans community and women of size and while their sound is more polished, thier lyrics are still based in empowering our yoof. Anyhow, check out the interview where Nathan talks about making sure their sound never got to clean, and not using bass. It’s cute.

Loving the sexualized depictions of bears of all stripes and sizes at Bear Mythology. The “about” section is also intriguing:
A blog dedicated to “bearish men” & authored by a closeted gay individual. Such “bears” presented here does not imply that they’re gay. It also does not imply that they’re human. However, what is actually implied is that these bearish individuals are extremely handsome, gorgeous, & attractive. That’s all.
