Album Review: Frankmusik’s Do it in the A.M.
There is no doubt that Vincent James Turner, known to us as Frankmusik, can write an amazing indie-electro-pop song. But somewhere during his recent move across the pound, he lost the indi-electro elements that made his first album, Complete Me, so rich. In his sophomoric album, Do it in the A.M, Frankmusik gives us pop. This should have been evident when he gave us a sneak preview of his album over the late summer with the release of the song, Do it in the A.M. Read... Read More
SIN is in!
Bryan Levinson’s seed of inspiration for a social network for Los Angeles HIVers—Strength in Numbers—blossoms into a global phenomenon Strength in Numbers, a rapidly growing social support network for HIV-positive men, had a rather serendipitous beginning 3 years ago when founder Bryan Levinson was hoping to find other HIV-positive men for dating. “I felt most comfortable with the idea of dating another HIV-positive man because we would have more in common—like similar...

The Good Free Agents: Due to the incredible talents of Kathyrn Hahn and Hank Azaria (with his ever growing pecs) this office romantic sex comedy comes to life. Everything else about the show is just plain mediocre. NBC, Wednesday at 8:30pm eastern. B The New Girl: If it wasn’t for the quirky charm of Zooey Deschanel, the new girl would probably tank.

Album Review: Tori Amos’s Night of Hunters
With age and experience comes great knowledge and understanding, at least that is what we are told. In Tori Amos’s twelfth studio album, Night of Hunters, she shows such distinctive musical maturity that is both elusive and enticing. “That is not my blood on the bedroom floor.” is the first line in Hunter’s opening song Shattering Sea. So passionate and full of urgency it demands to be listened to over and over again. Tori describes Hunters in... Read More
Back to School.
Back in 2000 I started a GSA [Gay-Straight Alliance] called Spectrum at Lewis and Clark High School in Spokane, WA; it wasn’t easy. There was a divide between the Principal and Mr. Roberts, the school’s drama teacher, Dr. Dupper, my school counselor and myself. The three of us against him.

EXPOSING OURSELVES – A YEAR IN THE LIFE OF (A) HIVSTER
I was diagnosed with HIV about a year and a half ago. I remember the day I was called into my doctor’s office and the car ride with Mario, a close friend and Editor of Hivster.com. The ride was tense speculating on what I think we both already knew. The tightness building up in my chest hurt and within an hour and a half our speculations were confirmed. Read More Read More
