Thought Of The Day

Madonna

What would Pride Month be without Madonna and a related Human Rights statement? I ask you? I'm waiting...

"Yes" it somehow wouldn't feel right. Thus here is Madonna with the "Thought Of The Day" brandished on her  t-shirt "Protect The Dolls."

If you know, you know. If you don't hit the Wikipedia link below.

Enjoy your Saturday...😎

Dance With David Archuleta!

David Archuleta reimagines his flirty worldwide hit single, “Crème Brulée” with a bold new remix from DJ Haylee Wood. The track takes on a whole new life, infusing an electrifying energy with a dance-worthy beat. While David’s signature smooth vocals remain at the core, Haylee’s expert touch transforms the song into a vibrant dance anthem. Listen HERE

 

"It’s time to get people up and moving a little more with this Crème Brulée remix" says David, "I’m so happy to get another remix out there, especially after my love for EDM house music and remixes from raves and festivals. Haylee is such a talented DJ and she did a phenomenal job on this remix."

 

This remix cranks up the intensity and gives the original a fresh, dynamic spin. It’s a track that captures the fun, flirty essence of “Crème Brulée” with an even sharper blend of Latin flair and infectious pop punch. If you thought the original was addictive, this remix is even more irresistible. (OR Prepare for a track that’s even hotter and more addictive than the original).

 

“I’m so excited about this release—just in time for summer and full of summer vibes! I’ve been a fan of David Archuleta for years, so it was such a cool moment to be part of this remix. Huge thanks to David and the whole team!” – DJ Haylee Wood

 

With it’s truly infectious energy (and a hint of Latin flair), the original version of "Crème Brulée" HERE  had national media outlets such as Newsweek Magazine HERE and Bustle  here talking about the confident, fun-loving track that showcases David’s evolution as an artist—sultry, charismatic, and completely in his element. With smooth, dynamic vocals and a hook that sticks like caramelized sugar, David teases the listener—giving just enough to leave them wanting more.

 

This spring’s surprise hit music video for "Crème Brulée" HERE hit a chord worldwide and had fans recreating the edgy and intricately choreographed dance moves HERE. The video is directed by Nathan Kim, who has collaborated on projects for Charli XCX, David Guetta and Lady Gaga and features David embracing his love of the art of dance with the JA Collective dance trio.

 

"Crème Brulée" has all the ingredients to be a pop anthem for the year and is too irresistible to listen to just once whether it’s the original track or the new remix.  Give it a spin.

 

David’s most recent releases include:

Can I Call You - HERE

Crème Brulée - HERE.

Freedom - HERE

Rather Be Lonely - HERE

"All we have to do now

Is take these lies and make them true somehow
All we have to see
Is that I don't belong to you
And you don't belong to me 
Freedom!" - Freedom '90, George Michael

This weekend the Pride Celebration in West Hollywood kicks off on Friday May 30th leading up to the Pride Parade on June the 1st. June is the beginning of Pride Month. 

While I won't be taking part in any of the festivities, I will be celebrating nonetheless. For example, right here, right now....Happy Pride!

"Gay Pride was not born out of a need to celebrate being gay, but our right to exist without persecution. So instead of wondering why there isn't a straight Pride movement be thankful you don't need one." That's all 

If I call you doll I don't mean Barbie or Ken. I mean Megan or Chucky

"Bear Soup"

Tom Goss & Bears

Tom Goss Drops Bouncy New Single “Bear Soup” 

A Twerk Anthem Celebrating Body Positivity and Bear Love
 
Out singer-songwriter Tom Goss is dishing out a deliciously audacious new track with the release of “Bear Soup,” the fourth and fiercest installment in his beloved “bear song anthology” series. Following fan favorites like “Bears,” “Round in All the Right Places,” and “Nerdy Bear,” this high-energy, bass-driven banger is a celebration of body positivity, joyful indulgence, and the vibrant bear subculture.

 

Produced by Maya La Maya and featuring the unapologetically bold, Brooklyn based rapper Chris Conde, “Bear Soup” is a twerk-ready anthem that blends playful eroticism with club-thumping beats. It's an invitation for listeners to shake, jiggle, and bounce—however and wherever they please.

 

“I was thinking about fun ways to celebrate body positivity, especially within the bear ecosystem,” says Goss. “It occurred to me—why don’t bears have their own twerk anthem? Most bears have more to twerk with than just their butts. I want folks to twerk their bellies, their butts, and anything else that jiggles!” 

 


Musically, “Bear Soup” marks a bold departure for Goss, who describes it as his most dance-driven release to date. Drawing inspiration from artists like Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion, Ice Spice, and Flo Milli, the track pulses with vibrant, club-ready energy. “I was listening to these artists while on tour, constantly writing and re-writing the lyrics,” he explains. “Maya and I spent nearly a year locking in the perfect tempo and vibe. When Chris Conde dropped his hefty, beefy verse, the track truly came alive.”

 

The single’s music video—directed by longtime collaborator Michael Serrato—is a riot of body diversity, poolside sensuality, and unapologetic camp. Shot in a heated pool on a brisk December day, the video is a joyful, community-powered celebration of queer bodies and liberation. “We wanted to create the kind of playful, sexy visuals we wish we’d seen growing up,” says Goss.

 

So, what exactly is “bear soup”? Goss explains: “Take a pool, toss in a gaggle of jolly bears, chubs, admirers—or anyone who wants to get wet. Add a dozen or so more beefcakes, and you’ve got yourself a hefty meal!”

 

Since his breakout hit “Bears” in 2013, Tom Goss has been at the forefront of a queer musical revolution—shaping the genre while always marching to the beat of his own drum. His music consistently champions self-love, authenticity, and queer joy.

 

And as the beat drops on “Bear Soup” and bodies move, Goss’s message couldn’t be clearer: Life’s too short not to twerk like a bear. “Be proud of who you are and what you bring into the world,” he says. “It really is that simple.”

 

Next up for the trailblazing artist: the pop banger “Gay Stuff” and a full Americana album is on the horizon.

 

“Bear Soup” will begin streaming on all major platforms on May 26
