FUCK YOU – THE NEW GAY ANTHEM

I’ve always liked Lily Allen, both her and her music, but like has now turned to love with her latest single – Fuck You. It couldn’t be more timely with all the hateful things being said in America right now brought on by the fight for Gay Marriage. Just Google it and you’ll see comment after comment on blogs and news sites with some of the most hateful bigoted and shameful spoutings from religious fanatics (guess they forgot about the Love/respect thy neighbor part of their Bible teachings.) While Lily Allen apparently directed this towards the BNP in the UK, it’s pretty clear that she supports Gay rights.

Anyway, Lily’s Allen’s official video is first, and then another from a brilliant YouTuber named Stevie Bee Bishop: http://youtube.com/steviedidit who organized other youtubers into submitting videos lip syncing to Lily Allen’s song and then compiled it into a new video. Here’s what Stevie has to say about it:

“Theres a disgusting amount of hate on the internet (especially on youtube!) directed at minority groups (especially the LGBT community) so i was inspired to organize this collab video. i never set out to change the world. i did not make this for the gay haters to see. i wanted to make something light hearted and funny for the victims of gay hate, to teach them to brush off the hate and stand strong and confident as who they are. you’re not alone! stevie loves you :)”

Stevie should get an award for his (brilliant) effort:

I also want to mention that I’m Canadian, and our fight for gay marriage is long over, we’ve had equal marriage rights for over 5 years now, and nothing has changed. Canada didn’t implode. However, I love my Americans neighbors and it’s breaking my heart to see this fight play out right now.

I’ve just finished a new mix and it’s now online to download. Once again, it’s a studio mix, so it’s excellent quality and the mixes are pretty tight. This mix is a bit more serious and the title Departure will make sense when you hear it. There’s lots of build-ups and it’s pretty trippy.

I MAY BE GAY, BUT I LOOOOOVE AMY WINEHOUSE!

Who hasn’t heard of Amy Winehouse by now, winner (in absentia) of 5 Grammies at this years awards. Who doesn’t love her sexy sultry voice when she sings?

Who knew she would be so hilarious on the British game show “Never Mind the Buzzcocks”?

I loved the response she gave to being asked if her hair was all her own…. “”yeah it’s mine (be)cause I bought it”

Hope you enjoy this video recently posted on youtube.

When I was writing this post I went on to Amazon to see about getting the code to link to her album “Back to Black” and on reading the reviews found someone who was complaining about her voice and her (?alleged?) drug habits…. in doing this they said Amy was “a self-destructive alcoholic with eating disorders and” (used) “tabloid headlines to get noticed.” Mentioning that she did not compare to the greats of:

Ray Charles (yes, the same Ray Charles who was a known heroin addict)

Duke Ellington (yes, the pothead)

Etta James (yes, another heroin addict) and

Phil Spector (alleged “misogynist and murderer”)

Make up your own minds, but while you think about it enjoy the next couple of songs written and/or sung by Amy, try listening to the lyrics.

GEORGE MICHAEL TOUR & MAKES FUN OF GEORGE MICHAEL

So I got an e mail this morning from the George Michael Fan Club – no comments please – seems good old George is going to do a North American Tour, with 25 dates in 25 Cities, thankfully Toronto (my home town of 22 years) is on that list, YAY!!!! I may not be first in line, but you can bet this is one concert we’re not going to miss. I guess ticket prices have yet to be set, however I paid $550 (X2) to see Barbra last year, hopefully the tickets will be sightly cheaper.

Of course when I sit at the computer I find one link leads to another and I end up finding this video posted on youtube, it’s taken from the British TV show Extras, a
Ricky Gervais Produced show (he also brought us The Office). Watch the whole thing, it’s just George doing what he does best….

BETTER

Thank you to AfterElton for letting me know about this fantastic song and video by Tom Baxter. I’m not a huge acoustic guitar balad person, but between the words and the all inclusive message that the video sends out, how can you not like it.

The videos presents people who are gay, straight, tall, short, young, old are all represented in the most “this is normal” and comfortable way, ending in all the representitives kissing and just being in love and happy as if it’s a perfect world.

Although it’s far from perfect, the video’s message of inclusiveness is exactly why I love living in Toronto – it’s a melting pot of cultures and one of the most accepting cities I’ve ever encountered. I’m always so proud to say I live here.

Here’s a sampling of the words:

I can’t concede,
This way I feel,
For all the time we spent, together,
Forever – Just gets better.

See what I’m trying to say is:
You make things – better
And no matter what the day is,
With you here – it’s better.

YOU’RE SO GAY!

Sing, sing a song
Sing out loud
Sing out strong
Sing of Gay things, not bad…

Well enough of the Carpenters…Lets sing about being Glad to be Gay, Tom Robinson wrote this first song in 1976 for the London Gay Pride March in 1976. Recorded and released it on an EP in 1977, which of course was immediately banned by BBC Radio – a sure way to make it a hit!!!

Moving on to something a little more recent we have “Ok to be Gay” by Tomboy. Check out his website. It’s all in flash and not the easiest to navigate, but it does make an interesting read.

It really speaks volumes that from 1976 to today – 31 years later – that in some Countries it still isn’t “Ok to be Gay”. Thankfully I live in Canada and I can Marry my Partner the minute he asks me! (Hey J get the hint?)

MUSTBEGAY MUSIC : COLTON FORD

Colton Ford Porn Star and Musician

You know how you sometimes fall in love with a musician and then you google him to try to find photos of him without his clothes, well Colton Ford is the answer to your prayers. This wannabe musician turned porn star and now back to a muscian is using his porn fame to push his music career full speed ahead – and the result is pretty amazing.

Just check out his latest song. There’s actually two versions, one is a bit more mainstream, but this one is my favorite, as it doesn’t shy away from his sexuality…

I know he’s got a pretty amazing production team – and they can do wonders on vocals to make them sound good (Madonna anyone?), but just to prove the guy can sing – he’s also got this amazing acapella version of Alicia Key’s song “No One” that shows his talent and range:

And speaking of talent… To save you the time and effort of googling his photos, here’s a selection:

So, are you hooked yet? Wait there’s more…

Conveniently, here’s a link to his porn repertoire in case you want to watch him on the TV getting down and dirty while he serenades you from the stereo:

(here’s box covers from just four of his videos)

YOU’RE SO GAY

youre-so-gay-one.jpg

So many of our straight friends just don’t get the whole gaydar thing, and I guess I understand their confusion. We’re just trained to notice certain subtle traits which are dead give aways like the way a guy walks (swish), or the way he dresses or even the way he talks. Then there’s the not so subtle that even language barriers can’t hide…

I certainly hope my straight friends could figure this one out!

MUSTBEGAY MUSIC: DJ:JD (free dance music to download)

falling-front.jpg

I was weened on electronic music in the early 80s and my taste in it evolved as house music stole the stage and I became a DJ in Toronto in the early days of the first afterhours parties and raves. Today, I’m done with DJing but I still manage to keep on top of the dance scene and still put out studio mixed CDs for myself and my friends.

I’ve just finished my Fall mix appropriately called “Falling” and I’m offering it to anyone who would like it. It runs 2 hours 30 minutes and it’s mostly uplifting progressive house and tech house with a few surprises thrown in. It’s completely beat mixed and takes you on a journey. I hope you enjoy it.

HERE’S A PREVIEW:

(click the line of text “01: Falling by DJ:JD” in the player to start the music playing)

TO DOWNLOAD THE MIX:

I’ve offered it up in two formats. You can either grab is as one continuous 2 hour mix if you want to burn it to DVD or just have it on your computer, or you can download it in two parts that fit perfectly on two CDs. They are large mp3 recorded at 320bits, so it’s pretty close to CD quality. This means they sound great, but the files are huge.

In case you don’t want to trust my taste in music, use the player above, where you can preview the mix. The stream is poorer quality and is only to give you an idea of the final product:

VIDEO: GETTING THE DEEP DISH ON MADGE!

Booting around the web today I found a blog gaytlv that had some great remixes of (almost) everyones favorite, Madge Madonna.

The first is the Madonna song ‘Isaac’ from the “Confessions On a Dance Floor” album mixed with the Ofra Haza version of Im Nin’ala. We do suggest you go over and check out the Gay Tel-Aviv blog, starting with the full article on this remix by Israeli DJ Offer Nissim.

This photo has absolutely nothing to do with the post, I just thought he was HOT! (Also got the image from gaytlv, click the photo for a much larger uncut image.)

This second video is of Madonna with Sharam, half of the Dynamic DJ duo Deep Dish.

Hope you all enjoy this music (and naked Guy as much as I did).
