One could call what Todd Brozman’s Proud Creatures solo moniker delivers psychedelic electronica/jazz/ambient…or one could just enjoy the deep dive into this this 5-track EP, Opening Creature.

Six years ago, Jersey Shore-native Tom Sless moved to L.A. Playing around the sunny city, honing his songwriting and playing with performing and schooling (and coming out just when this album did), he has now found his California Dream.

Seeing as we will be denied some of our favorite sports during the crisis, Mr. Skin has taken it upon themselves to initiate their own March Madness Tournament with their ‘Whack-It Bracket XXX’ Challenge Featuring 64 GIFs with some of the best real sex pulled from the deepest nooks and crannies of its expansive website, competitors are divided into four ‘regions’—Cowgirl, Doggy, Missionary, and Weird & Wild—with fans voting for their favorites in tournament-style meet-ups. One winner will stand from every vote that marks an entry to win a 55” Samsung 4K T.V. This is the site’s 2nd ‘Whack-It Bracket XXX’ competition.

Ever since their ‘comeback’ eight years ago, America icon band, The Outlaws, have been mining such a hard rock, southern-grown resilience their fans have taken to calling them, ‘Southern Rock’s Last Band Standing.’ Along with bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Charlie Daniels Band, The Allman Brothers, and Blackfoot, the Outlaws carved their own way up into the hearts and minds of popular rock, laying out more of that southern sound so unique to all these bands who could mix boogie woogie, swamp and downhome blues in such an American fashion.

Gathering together a 10-song collection made of sounds from field recordings taken after a large snowstorm mixed with a set of sample-based instruments, Jonathan Eads’ presents Under the Veneer. An accomplished musician who studied classical and jazz guitar extensively, “Jeads,” as Eads calls himself here, recently moved to a forest outside of Bellingham Washington, the new location providing as much a fresh source of inspiration as a ‘cacophony’ of natural sounds for him to capture. Using these, with his main instrument an old rusty music box, the ten ambient pieces are certaintly unique.

I have featured Fetish Map London plenty in this column. A regular contributor to all things kinky and fun, spreading as it has for the past few years, to an ever more global perspective, this is the one fold-over-put-it-in-your-pocket-go-out-sightseeing pamphlet I feel no self-respecting kinkster or even the mildly curious tourist should be without. I was lucky enough to get a sit down with James Drury, the head honcho for the Map, the creator of its design agency/publishing company, PictureRama, and an all-around super dude to discuss all things Fetish Map.

Parisian-in-London Zilla reveals an unmistakable singular vision across the dozen songs that make up her new Zilla With Her Eyes Shut. Sampling bottles, hairpins, blowing through the pages of a book, this is an interesting mix of arpeggiating soundscapes mixed with Zilla’s high warble.

If we agree that sexual freedom lies at the heart of human dignity, like equality and civil rights, in this day and age, people should be able to explore what they want without shame, without something like Facebook trying to pushing all of us underground as if our desires were dirty.

With Carlos Falu (Steven Spielberg’s WEST SIDE STORY) choreographing flash-mob style dance numbers alongside some of New York’s most prominent queer voices/influencers including Glow Job, Domenic Mykel and Thee Suburbia, this immersive theatrical tribute to a bygone time and place is sure to have you enjoy your 14th like never before. I spoke with Glow Job (real name Zach) and Carlos Armesto (the producing Artistic Director of Theatre C) about what one might taste, feel, and see at the event. They assured me, in the most passionate of ways (I loved these guys, they are so into this event and what they do) that this hybrid theatrical experience not only blurs the line between disciplines and cultures, but it champions all expression in a sex-positive safe space.
