And dream of Ann Liv Young…
For a while now I’ve been having–every so often–dreams that feature Ann Liv Young. Well, three dreams, to be exact. These started, as far as I can surmise, shortly after my first writing on Ms. Young’s work. The central anxiety of these dreams–and they are always anxious dreams–balances precariously on a paradigmatic axis of whether [...]
The Body Elastic
Since we have a focus on the body today, I thought it would be a good idea to post this Beyonce video sent to us by a dear C.C. friend and fan, BP. The video is hot for at least two reasons. One, it shows just how much we can accomplish with a simple idea [...]
TO DO: DARMSTADT (aaaaand a little shameless self promotion)
Among the many exciting new music events that have sprung up in NYC over the past few years, DARMSTADT, a concert series curated by Nick Hallett and Zack Layton, is one of the coolest. Avant garde classics are mixed on the turn tables, as well as performed live by some of the best contemporary music [...]
To Do: Christian Rizzo and I-Fang Lin (TONIGHT)

Girlz, I-Fang Lin’s cool demeanor, delicate [...]
To Do: Shameless Self-Promotion
Ten years after coming out, composer/performer/writer Ryan Tracy has one more thing to come clean about: His songwriting. Since 1998, Ryan has written over a dozen songs that chronicle his pursuit of the big gay life. But for inexplicable reasons, these songs have remained trapped in the closet: Until now! BIG RELEASE Original songs by [...]
You Just Can’t Get Enough
I think it’s hilarious that this is today’s top clicked post! You’re all a bunch of horny bastards, and I love you for it. Keep ‘em spreading, Roddick. And good luck with Rodgie tomorrow. To say you’re really going to need it is like, the understatement of the universe. [Update:] Although I guess it’s encouraging [...]
Real Perspective On Chuck and Larry
Ok, ok. We know you’ve been waiting for it. So we’ll get it over with. Here’s the problem with a film like I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry: The essential problem that undermines any attempts the script makes to convert viewers to have a more accepting awareness of homosexuality, no matter how many times [...]
We’re baaaaaack…
Boom Shacka-Lacka! That’s right. We’re home and happy and ready to start tearing it up again in big old NYC. Today, look out for a sweet–and semi-professional–preview of Lincoln Center Festival’s Four Spanish Plays series. Otherwise, we’ll try to get up to our usual counter-criticism tactics. Let the terrorizing begin! (It’s okay to terrorize critics, [...]
