I forgot to mention Sylvester’s 65th birthday, what with all the DNC hullabaloo. Here’s some disco-gay education for the tender ones.

Samantha Fox’s 1986 smash gets even gayer.

Blowoff lumbers its furry sweaty beer-soaked self into Chelsea’s Highline Ballroom tomorrow. Doors open at 11:30pm and advance tickets are suggested as this party often sells out. I’ll be there if my plane lands on time and I haven’t collapsed from fatigue. Don’t forget Bob Mould’s free concert in Brooklyn earlier tomorrow night!

Australian electronic duo The Presets aren’t gay, but they do love to put a lot homoerotic imagery into their videos. They first came to my attention when they played Folsom Street Fair in 2008. Nice guys in person, too.

This track has been popping up on my YouTube feed for months in various renditions. I guess this is the latest version. If you can stand it, here’s the creator’s webpage.

Pet Shop Boys, George Michael, openly bisexual Jessie J, and a full stadium singalong with Freddie Mercury on center-stage screens. I don’t think we could have asked for much more.

Featuring drag star Ambrosia Salad and a whole lot of writhing furry hotness. Probably not office-friendly. Groovy late night / morning music vibe.(Tipped by JMG reader David)

Mariah’s publicist was right, the remix is pretty great and the vocal is completely different from the radio single. This clip may not last long, I think it’s a leaked copy.

Today the Scissor Sisters released an “instructional video” to support their unexpected smash album track, which is outselling the official single. Look at Jake strut in that mesh tank top!

I missed this a couple of days ago, but here’s George Michael’s reflection on his recent brush with death.(Tipped by JMG reader Don)

As an album cut from the latest Scissor Sisters release is blowing up huge in the clubs, Universal has rushed out five remixes of Let’s Have A Kiki. Below is the Danny Verde Remix, which is very much in the style we once called “the big room mix.” Other mixes here.

Cute concept. How many albums do you recognize?(Tipped by JMG reader Fritz)

Steve Weinstein delves further into the demise of gay dance palaces for the Village Voice. Today, there’s only one dedicated big room, Pacha, by the Hudson River. The turnkey for a giant space like Chinatown’s Capitale starts in the $50,000 range—prohibitive for a promoter who still has to set up a sound-and-light system. That’s why Rica Sena, whose Alegria parties …
