Back in 1998, during the illicit heyday of the rhtymically and sonically gorgeous drum n bass era of electronic music, the man that everyone wished they could be but could never touch was Goldie. I certainly didn’t own every release that bore his name, but his double CD Saturnzreturn had an epic track on...
We have all heard the term ‘fashion forward’ but this takes that term to an entirely new height. the days of the android and the cyborg have certainly begun to enter our reality and it is wonderfully inspirational that designers are pushing their own mental and creative walls and taking that which decorates our bodies...

There is not much that can be said about the powerful short (almost) one man show short film that is “The Language of Love” without the burden of a million cliches and sentimental sugary words. All that aside, The Voices Project, based in Australia has captured the magical static that reverberates in every teenager’s...
We must admit…some forms of insane entertainment were not meant to be as entertaining as they are and if they are THIS kind of entertaining they certainly didn’t start out that way. We want to sling back shots of Jack Daniels with this lovely lady. Clare Dolan answers the question: What is cantastoria? H.O.D. Flashback...
His artwork is ingrained in every gay man’s mind. Images of insanely masculine, impossibly endowed leather and denim clad super men forcefully frolicking with one another in sado-masochistic flavoured scenes and over the top caricatures of fetish and aggressive erotic situations. If you are a practicing homosexual over the age of at least 30,...
Now that all the fanfare of the album has died down and fans are ravenously awaiting the release of the immensely successful world tour she embarked on throughout most of 2012, let’s take another blog post up to discuss one of the most unexpected and brilliant productions of Madonna’s more recent career. One of...
One of the last books I purchased from Housing Works is a glorious 1971 first edition paperback called “Remember, Be Here Now” by Ram Dass, an American contemporary spiritual teacher known for his connections with the infamous Timothy Leary at Harvard in the early 60s, his relationship with Hindu guru Neem Karoli Baba, his travels...
We discovered this unsettlingly beautiful song today while listening to Pandora Radio and fell in love immediately. The cacophony and arrhythmic beats add to the longing and desperation and the underlying strength of the lyrics and vocals. We are definitely going to do some research on Ms. Karijord and get familiar with her body...

Discovered this track by The Pierces called “Secret” on Pandora recently and fell in love. It’s a bit on the poppy side and a lot less electronic than what you usually find on H.O.D. TV but it’s one of those timeless songs that transports you to another time…in the past or possibly in the...

This is just one of those videos…an all encompassing science lesson that is visually, informatively and sonically perfect.

As a conclusion to the TAKE BACK THE NIGHT MARCH organized by Queer Rising on Saturday, October 9, 2010 in reaction and response to the staggering rise in gay bashings, gay bullying and gay suicides, young Caleb (a son of two lesbians) sang a song as he strummed his guitar in which he wrote immediately...

Here is...
February has proven to be quite a busy month but nothing beats the insanity that is about to ensue on Valentine’s Day…the 14th of February. So many events are planned that day that we have accepted the fact that we won’t be making it to all of them. With Dance Parade joining support...
