You might know her as Heather Gordy, former member of The Murmurs where she used to jam out with The L Word’s Leisha Hailey. After dealing with divorce, a new marriage, having twins, and recovering from Acute Myeloid Leukemia she found time to make and release new music. The song, “Right Here Right Now,” is based on her recent challenges and newfound gratitude. She hopes it brings a little hope and inspiration while we’re living through a plague. Listen to the song here:
Lesbian singer A’Biggs also released new music. You can listen to the song, “Tied Up,” below or stream it on your preferred music app.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWplcvcPRR4 High Fidelity CancelledHulu’s TV remake of the movie of the same name was cancelled. The show starred Zoe Kravitz as a bisexual owner of a Brooklyn record shop. Fun fact no one asked for, Kravitz’s mother, Lisa Bonet, starred in the original film as the main character’s ex-girlfriend. Many fans are upset about the show’s cancellation, including Kravitz herself who mentioned that “there’s a lot of places we could go and I would love to go there.” It’s always a shame when a show gets cancelled before its time. High Fidelity was featured on our shows to stream list, and if you’re still on the fence about watching it read what we had to say about it here.

Asking for It Film Streaming on Fuse
Asking for a new movie to watch? This dark comedy might be it. Aspiring journalist, Jenny, spends her days writing celebrity tabloid stories. It was pretty boring, until an internet stalker develops an obsession with her work. Haven’t we all had that fear? But when she goes to the police for help, she finds that this is the one story of hers that no one wants to listen to. Not to fear, the lesbian is here! Jenny’s hacker roommate Lisa, steps in and dishes out her own brand of justice. In addition to helping her become a vigilante, Lisa shows Jenny how to be assertive and even encourages her to follow her dreams. The film stars Stephanie Hsu as Jenny and Irene Morales as Lisa.

St. Vincent to Release Musical Narrative on Audible
Recently, Audible struck a deal with the singer to help further expand their Words and Music initiative. Artists will create original audio productions that combine storytelling and music that’s exclusive to Audible users. We’re not entirely sure what that means, but the idea is certainly intriguing. And St. Vincent will be the first to showcase her vision. St. Vincent: Words and Music will give “listeners an intimate, personal meditation on an artist’s discovery of her authentic self.” The singer/songwriter also says that, “music transcends the chaos. It’s always been there for me when I’ve needed it-whether in times of fear, heartbreak, anger, joy. So I’m thrilled to be working with Audible to share my story and my music, especially at a time when music is such a crucial part of coping and getting through these unprecedented days.” Smokey Robinson and Alanis Morissette will also release collections.
