Matt Hutson and Gary Schrader’s band here is called ” indie/noise rockers” in their press and I’d say if there was one criticism I had about these obviously well written and played tunes, it is that the mix is very loud and in your face; for my tastes too much so at times. Despite the noise thought, I think you’ll dig checking into the tune rooms of Pleasant Grove Hotel.

Indie/electronic songwriter Micropixie brings us her new release Dark Sight of the Moon. This last in her “narratively-linked” trilogy (the other two albums being The Good, The Beige & The Ugly and Alice In Stevie Wonderland) has lots to reveal coming from Neshma Friend’s self-created Micropixie alien alter-ego.

Patrick Ames’ newest EP All I Do Is Bleed reveals four tracks of easy listening, sing-able R& B/Pop/Latin Folk. The sixty-ish songwriter/midi-guitar synth/guitar player and vocalist shares this self-produced bunch with his two vocalists, Chana and Mikaela and with the addition of Argentinian guitarist, Paulo Augustin Rzeszut, adding just the right flavor over it all.

With HerpAlert reporting just recently that there was a spike in folks looking for herpes prescriptions from the opening day of Coachella this year (with the previous big spike for the STD occurring during Oscar weekend 2018) one might consider making love to that person we love the most, as our safest bet! And to help us further along April Lampert and Amy Baldwin, the moderators of the Shameless Sex podcast are getting in on this with their ‘Self-Pleasure 30-Day Challenge.’ Lampert and Baldwin invite people to “participate in self-pleasure for a minimum of ten minutes a day only using their hand/s (no porn or toys).”

Having been to the Erotic Heritage Museum plent,y and knowing all about Freak Show as I do, this is a sure-fire knock-out show you just have to catch when in Las Vegas. I know there are lots of shows in that town, sexy, funny, magical and even lots that mix these elements but Freak Show and the EHM, are not to be missed!

Vipid is the musical brainchild of graphic artist Jared Simmons. The songs he produces under that name mine what he calls an “electronic chill and downtempo dream pop.” Vipid’s new ten-song Daydream brings us what’s on Simmons’ mind lately.
