I've been getting geeky with Spotify playlists lately, and in honor of Pride, I thought I'd curate a little list of love-dovey songs that are lightly sprinkled with some LGBTQ love. If you're a Spotify person, please do me a favor and click "follow" the Love is Love playlist!

Just a couple more days til Lights Out is available everywhere! (You can still pre-order on iTunes til Friday). Want a sneak peak? Today PopMatters exclusively premiered the full album! Take a listen!
Check out this month's issue of San Diego Troubadour for a great interview and writeup about the new album Lights Out. I love how Lizzie Wann was able to weave together two of my passions (music and boxing). Shout-out to Title Boxing Club North Park! Plus, I got to talk about how much I love my wifey:
“Audrie supported me through what now seems like an obvious realization that I deserve to be happy, and I’ve been bonkers in love with her ever since.” READ MORE Here's a quick little thing I wrote based on one of my friends who has a monster crush on someone but is too painfully shy to do anything about it. I thought geez, that sounds agonizing. I'm bad at many things (including writing songs in ten minutes), but flirting usually comes pretty easy and thankfully helped me snag a hot little wifey. Lyrics:
1. Asking you to think of me sounds so absurd Girl I could never work up the nerve Your lightning smiles and thunder eyes are elements I crave But I could never bring myself to brave CHORUS Cooked up some big plans for you and I They’re burning up like a pie in the sky We're not getting anywhere but goodbye Once smitten I’m twice shy 2. I could be the one to give love like you deserve But honey I could never work up the nerve Dreams of us superfluous in this reality Being conscious of you made a coward of me CHORUS Happy to share the story behind this new little ditty written in honor of my friends Nikki and Janet, and their new little bundle of joy who will be arriving on planet Earth very shortly! I wrote the original "Net & Key" (a play off their names) for their wedding a few years back, so I decided to continue with the theme. The lyrics are pretty straightforward and simple since I was going for a lullaby feel. I just wanted to highlight how sometimes kids grow up to absorb so many of their parents' traits, yet they still develop completely unique personalities. I also wanted to express how happy I am that Nikki and Janet are the kind of people who I know will commit to parenting with total grace and support for each other, and total love and encouragement for their child. Can't wait to meet the baby bean! Lyrics:
1. Maybe you’ll like telling jokes Maybe you’ll like reading poems Maybe you’ll like something we don’t We’ll probably mess something up Like misplace your best sippy cup If it gets hard enough to give up, we won’t CHORUS We’re building a home for you A place you can grow into Anything you want to be You will be safe with us We’ll earn your faith, your love, your trust Give you our heart, net, and key 2. Maybe you’ll cheer for the Bears Maybe speak French, eat Eclairs Maybe you’ll do something brand new We’re gonna learn as you grow We’re gonna teach what we know If you wonder who loves you the most, we do Happy to share that Punk Out recently featured a short narrative I wrote about my experience coming out and how it relates to music and relationships. Hope you like it- please share with anyone who may relate!
