Sexy nerds wanted

Just bear with me.

Aside from the obvious eye candy in Jonny McGovern's new "Sexy Nerd" video, there are some pretty clever rhymes going on here. For instance "I've never had a pocket protector get me erecter." Brilliant.

Here's to sexy nerds everywhere!

Brett Every is a Mac

iPhones are amazing. But, they're even more amazing when they're humanized. 

Gay Australian singer Brett Every's single "Man Walks Into a Bar", from his latest album, Menu, is a ballad about a hypothetical scenario where a 40-year-old encounters his 20-year-old self in a bar.

What grabs your attention is that the video is a stop-motion animated video uses iPhones as the two main characters, in a bar populated by other cell phones. Points for using the older model iPhone as the older man. 

But, my favourite has got to be the stripper phone at 1:15. Hilarious!

Cobra Starship gets a free pass

I figured Cobra Starship was just going to be a flash in the pan. But, they're back with a new single off their upcoming fourth (really???) album Night Shades.

I hate to say it, but "You Make Me Feel..." is acutally pretty catchy. And it features up-and-comer Sabi, who you might have been exposed to on Britney's latest album.

The video follows a bunch of people at a club which has some kind of empathic photo booth that snaps you pics and stamps on it what you're feeling. Weird.

What's even weirder is that Robin Williams is randomly in the vdieo for less than 2 seconds. Did he just stumble onto the wrong set?

But, this video gets a free pass from me. I was about to dismiss it when it showed the requisite shot of two girls kissing. But, then, one of the snapshots shows two guys kissing, with the caption "Feeling... Loved".

It's a split second shot, but it's one that I think makes a big statement in pop culture. It takes the so-called taboo of two men kissing, puts it in a postive light with that caption and makes it a non-issue because it isn't dwelled upon or sensationalized. It just is. 

So, free pass for this video. 

Bright Light Bright Light look for a disco moment

After impressing me with his song and video for "How To Make A Heart", I've been keeping an eye on Welsh act Rod Thomas, aka Bright Light Bright Light.

His latest single off his debut album Make Me Believe In Hope, "Disco Moment" is a throbbing dance track that anticipates the end of a troubled relationship. It's something that sounds like it's straight out of Robyn's songbook. In fact, no sooner had I dubbed him the "male Robyn", did I read aquote from NME calling him "the boy Robyn in all but name."

And that's a great thing in my books. Just the other night, my boyfriend and I were talking about how there aren't enough songs by males singers played during Pride festivities. It's usually all about the diva. And I think Bright Light Bright Light can help fulfill the lack of male dance artists quite nicely.

Raja dirties up the dancefloor

Raja Gemini was my favourite contestent on Season 3 of RuPaul's Drag Race, so I was very happy when he was crowned the winner. He definitely had the most Charisma, Uniqueness, Nerve and Talent (or C.U.N.T.) on the show. And I just loved that he had a very punk rock aesthetic and a very manly voice. Hot!

He's got a new song called "Diamond Crowned Queen" and, sure, the video is a bit budget. But what Raja lacks in funds, he makes up for in attitude. 

The song starts off sounding like a very stereotypical gay dance track, but it suddenly switches gears to very dirty house while Raja sing-talks about sex and getting down. The song gets even more interesting in the bridge when the tempo slows down and we get to hear Raja moaning in that deep voice of his. 

He's looking hot in the video, and gets to make out with a sexy bear. So, with that, I say HAPPY PRIDE!
