Audio BJ for March 13, 2007



One of the great modern mysteries in the gay music/tv world just got weirder. Remember Mario Lopez from "American Idol," the cute, probably gay guy who left in the middle of the competition for no clear reason? Incidentally, doesn't he look like Marco from "Degrassi"?

Access Hollywood has the DL on the new lawsuit filed against Mario by some minor employee of the show at the time with the gender-ambiguous name of Magdaleno Olmos. Apparently, Mario undressed Magdaleno with his eyes and tried to start some glory hole or bathroom gay porn scene in the studio.

Seriously, what the hell is wrong with Magdaleno Olmos? What kind of world do we live in where a cute gay tries to hook up with another guy, and instead of excitement, the result is a lawsuit? I don't know what Mario's music sounds like, but if he ever comes to Chicago, I'm getting a VIP pass and scouting out the secret bathrooms pronto!



Remember that great dance song, "Missing" by Everything But the Girl? Well, that girl is Tracey Thorn, and her new solo album Out of the Woods comes out today. She certainly looks like a lesbian, but I don't know which team she bats for. I do know, however, that the gays love her and her old band. Is she the Annie Lennox of our generation? Get this album and find out!

Finally, for all you dirty indie rockers and hipsters out there, a new Modest Mouse album is coming out. Honestly, I don't think they're hot and I don't get their music, but like anyone my age, I had to pretend to like that whole indie thing just because everyone else did in college. Was I a BJ poseur? Well, maybe, but who can go through four years of college parties without pretending to like some stupid trendy band just for the change of a sleazy hook-up with a cute boy in tight clothes?

Anyway, I hear their new music is more disco, or more mainstream, or something, so maybe I will actually like this album. I'll give it a try, and that means a lot coming from someone in a monogamous relationship.
