"American Nightmare"

Justin Utley

Talk about perfect timing...

“American Nightmare” is Justin Utley’s first single release since his activism work in Utah helped to ban conversion therapy, the discredited practice that aims to change a person’s sexual orientation or gender expression, in the state. “The win was not only cathartic but rewarding and empowering,” he says. Utah is now the 19th state to ban conversion therapy. Utley plans to take his fight to the other 31 states. “I’ll take my guitar wherever I need to in order to keep this conversation going and get this horrific, shame-based sham of therapy banned. It’s unethical, it’s disproven, and yet so many are caught in its web of lies, inevitable failure, and suicide.” He blames the lawmakers who blindly follow their party lines and church leaders instead of the will of the constituents who elected them. It’s one of the reasons he chose to shoot the music video for “American Nightmare” in a church (incidentally, the same church used for the Touched by An Angel series) and includes scenes with crowds in blindfolds, unable and unwilling to see the disasters that lie ahead.

It's A Matt Bomer Kinda Day

Sizzling Cold
Matt Bomer

After what has been quite the eventful not to mention historic weekend I thought it would be nice to take a little time out for some eye candy.

Feast your eyes on one Matt Bomer at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah.

Does this guy know how not to be hot? I think not, even bundled up in his winter jacket he still looks delectable stopping for a portrait at the IMDB studio.

If only Matt was wrapped around me like a winter jacket, sigh....

Happy Man Candy Monday!

Matt on, what else? IMDB:

Out & "So Happy" Jason Walker

Jason Walker has a new single out! Aren't you "So Happy"???

Two-time Grammy nominated dance producer Tony Moran and Out Music Award winner Jason Walker unite on the season’s most powerful pop-dance record, “So Happy”. Written by Tony Moran and Chris Willis – the American gospel singer turned electronic dance music phenomenon for his work with David Guetta - the epic single features an amazing vocal performance by Jason Walker, a superstar collection of remixes and a visionary music video by Karl Giant.  “So Happy” is available now on iTunes.

                                                                 So Happy

“With all that's happening in the world today, isn't that what everyone wants: to be happy and feel good,” wonders Jason Walker from his home in New York City.  “The dance floor is my happy place.  It’s where I can forget my troubles and let the music take over.  For me, music is the universal truth and when a hard beat pulses through my body, there is simply no better feeling than that.  My hope is that ‘So Happy’ lifts listeners to their own place of pure joy.” 

When deciding on a location to shoot the song’s music video, videographer Karl Giant – who has shot videos for Cyndi Lauper, Ultra Nate, and The One’s - had in mind a destination that was a bit grander in scale than a dance floor.  He whisked Walker to a land of breathtaking panoramas and transcendent realities. 

“We went to the Salt Flats in Utah!” Walker explains.  “It turned out to be one of the most exhilarating, life-changing experiences ever. Five days in the desert was insanely riveting.”
