Q&A - Motown After Party

It's that time of the month to ask me anything! About music, movies, relationships, jobs, social constructs, witchcraft, sex, drugs, aliens, politics, rock and/or roll.

Comment with your questions, concerns or suggestions below and see you Tuesday night after some very sweet Motown music!

Synth Pop

Synth-Pop is that sweet post-punk energy of new wave combined with the innovations of 1970s electronic music. From New Order to Depeche Mode, Kraftwerk to Eurythmics. All the nice Moog and drum machine sounds, including some great modern artists like Robyn, because electronic music is the most delicious genre to help escape the mitote. If you missed the shimmy party live on Mixcloud here's...

Is this a Vlog?

A horror speakeasy, a friend's surgery, Mads Mikkelsen, horror movie night, a Boris reunion, and behind-the-scenes of DJ Bruja Radio post-production in my living room. Y'all requested I do a vlog, so I think this is what this is. 

Please enjoy and see if you can name what Radiohead song I was singing and what Radiohead song was performed with a saw!

Romantic Movies

I hate Valentine’s Day. It’s the worst consumerist holiday other than Xmas. However, I love movie music. So if you’re into Titanic or The Notebook, this is not the show for you. BUT if you’re into romance that normies would consider strange, here are my favorite romantic scores and songs from True Romance to Moulin Rouge to Phantom Thread. If you missed the cheesiness live on Mix...

Photos: Flashbutt Friday

Flashback to that time my friend asked to take boudoir style photos of my middle-aged ass. Alas, our bodies are beautiful temporary gifts. As our societies and dogmas try to build shaming falsehoods around nudity, every shape, skin color, wrinkle, and crevice is a miracle that should be celebrated.

Pitchfork's 100 Best Songs of 2023

Our first listening party! In honor of Pitchfork getting absorbed into GQ, we're listening to Pitchfork's list of the best songs from 2023. Apparently, Anna Wintour didn’t take off her sunglasses the entire time she met with Pitchfork employees to tell them they were losing their jobs :-|  So this one's for all the amazing music writers and not the rich dummies in charge.

See you Sunday night after the Niners hopefully beat the Lions!

Got way too personal showing you my inner demons and deepest regrets.
