Play It Cool»rank: 46068by: Lea DeLaria
: :Standup comedian, actress, and singer Lea DeLaria presents a less confrontational image here than she did on 1994's Bulldyke in a China Shop, adopting the role of seductive, witty, confident, and heterosexual jazz chanteuse to perfection. Her voice ranges from little-girl-lost innocence to harder-edged tones, both suited to the opening 'The Ballad of Sweeney Todd.' With stylings from Billie Holiday to Judy Garland, 'l've Got Your Number' heads straight for the heart of 1950s big-band balladry, improvised scat vocals proving DeLaria ... |

More Lovin' From Our Oven»rank: 131680by: Pansy Division
: :While Pansy Division's jokey, tongue-in-cheek lyrics about gay life wear thin after a while, their buoyant pop hooks and high-energy punk rhythms are always uplifting. 0n its fifth album, the San Francisco trio experiments with heavier sounds (witness 'Expiration Date 01/97,' one of several tracks produced by Steve Albini) and topics (listen to 'Political Asshole'). But there's still a fair amount of shtick, and while some of it works-the old Judas Priest song is retooled as 'Breaking the (Sodomy) Law'-tunes such ... |

Wish I'd Taken Pictures»rank: 107969by: Pansy Division
: :You might call this gay-and-proud San Francisco combo the happy face of homocore, what with the way it couches its subtle and not-so-subtle sexual subtext in humor and punchy punk-pop riffs. Catchy enough to go over big as an opening act for Green Day's '94 arena tour and subversive enough to be hailed as gender terrorists, Jon Ginoli and company are just as effective going for the funny bone ('Pee Shy'), the heartstrings ('l Really Wanted You') and the, er, regions ... |
