Blood On The Dance Floor Scandal Over Rumors

I've been meaning to cover this group for a while now, and since they are back in the headlines again with not only a new EP and video, but also a startling accusation that is causing uproar in the online fanbase, I finally have the opportunity. Though they are not the type of music I usually cover, I am still a fan, and this story was too much to overlook.

According to the official Blood On The Dance Floor Facebook page, after being given the exclusive story on their new music video for the track "Don't Want To Be Like You", music mega-site Buzznet took the opportunity to call singer Dahvie on rumors of abuse in his past. The article was very short, only a few sentences, but had the pretext warning of:

"Buzznet was unaware of Dahvie's alleged past and while we unknowingly supported the release of this new video we do not  -- in any way condone violence against women."

The comment was obviously there to protect the site and it's writers, but it still felt unneeded, especially since the only allegations against him were over two years ago, and the matters had been settled and done with. In the meantime, the group has released numerous anthems to speak out against abuse, bullying, and violence. Let me clarify: I'm not saying anything can make up for what may or may not have transpired, but I still felt the inclusion of a pretext was unnecessary and detrimental.

Buzznet's original post has since been removed (although Dahvie took a screen cap on his laptop), but another user re-blogged the post, minus the disclaimer.

Dahvie was quick to respond, posting a long message to the fans on Facebook.

"It makes me sad to see what Buzznet did to us today. We gave them our video for Don't Want To Be Like You to post before anyone else and they do this to us. They accuse me of having violence toward women which has never happened, all of my fans know me and know I would never hurt anyone. When my manager called them outraged they were arrogant and disrespected us. I am hurt by the things they'v e said, especially after all of my love and gratitude for my fans, we do not deserve this. I am better than them, I am living my dreams and nobody can take away our love for what we do. These people think they are bigger than the music, and they are nothing without the music. All I can think of right now is the words to Don't Want To Be Like You and what they mean to me. Our new EP came out today and I could not be happier, I love you all, I feel free of people like Buzznet right now. ♥ Dahvie"

While not exactly taking the high road (with the inclusion of the phrase "people like Buzznet", it still shows that he is attempting to move on from the situation and focus on promoting the new material. I, for one, would like to take a moment to focus on how hot Jayy is. That seems like a much more pleasurable topic, doncha think?

On the plus side, the song and video are both beautiful and inspirational. We get to see Jayy in a lot less makeup than we are used to, and we get to see a very vulnerable side to Dahvie, making it vastly different from the videos they've put out in the past. 

The new EP "Anthem For The Outcast" is available now on iTunes.

Ru Paul's All Stars Drag Race Recap - Ru Paul's Gaff-In

Has it already been a week? Well I guess it has. It's time for another episode of Ru Paul's Drag Race Team Edition. The most obnoxious twist to a reality competition ever continues to send two girls home per episode, meaning we get to see even less of them this season! Yay us! Anyway, its time for the second installment, where we see the Snatch Game. Oh wait, I mean the Not Snatch Game.

Yes, I will have a picture of Latrilla here every week. It's my site.

Song of the Week - Nice Car! (Shame About Your Penis)

I think this is the first time I've used the word "penis" in a headline before. Oh well. At least I'm not flaunting it or anything, right? It's Pandora Boxx and she's allowed to say what ever the hell she wants. Pandora has been an idol of mine for years now, and she's not slowing down any time soon. Her newest track is sure to have everybody rolling. Check out "Nice Car!"

The song is in that same vein as her first single "Cooter," but features a bit of a different brand of comedy. Instead of longing for lady parts, she's judging your man parts. Yup. Pandora is complaining about how all the guys with nice cars have little wangs. I don't have enough experience to say whether this is true or not, so I'm going to take her word for it. The song features my friend-of-a-friend Shango, who I am very proud of, and glad is getting attention for her hard work now.

What I really like about the song is that Pandora sounds a lot more comfortable with her voice now. This is her third (or fourth if you count the Madonna parody) track she's put out, and she really seems to have the hang of the whole recording thing now. I certainly like her more playful side with "Nice Car", and it offers us a new side to Pandora. Well new-ish.

The song is up on iTunes for grabs. Also check out the video below. I'm sure it's banned from TV, too.

MYPHNH(BS) - April Kae

It's been a while since I've done a segment of Music You Probably Have Never Heard (But Should), mostly because it's been a while since I've found a really great artist that needs more recognition. My mindset was originally set to think of groups or people who had been around for a long while and needed the boost, but what about people who just started? April Kae may only have one single out so far, but you should still keep your eye on her.

April Kae was in the spotlight briefly as she appeared as part of "Hollywood Week" on American Idol's tenth season, but after she left the show, she vanished for a good while. Now, thankfully, she is back with her debut single "The Writings On The Wall". April may not have made it far on her season of Idol, but she is definitely proving herself in the industry today.

The thing about this song is that it deals with a serious topic, moving on from a relationship after everything has ended, but it deals with it in an upbeat manner. Not every song about a serious topic has to be dark and brooding, which is what sets this song apart from the rest. The song also showcases her confidence, not needing a man to be herself. The over all message of the song is that of positivitiy and progressiveness.

The most addicting part of the whole track is April's raw talent. The easiest way to prove that somebody has talent is to watch them from before they have a major record deal. No autotune; no million dollar recording studio; just talent. If they can sound amazing without all the expensive editing and touch-ups, they definitely have what it takes to make it. April has just that -- and all at the young age of 21 (looks like we are both prodigies! There goes my ego again).

Help support this budding artist by buying her debut single "The Writings On The Wall" on iTunes.

Album Review - Xelle "Queens"

It's been a bittersweet week for me. I got to see the beautiful Mimi Imfurst back on TV, but only for a brief moment before she was sent home. Luckily, this gave her the perfect opportunity to release he group XELLE's long anticipated EP "Queens".This has been a long time coming, and I'm glad to finally see the finished product.

New Side FX Video Goes Viral

Today I decided to brace myself for what is to come -- and that is a huge influx of Drag Race related content. With all the reviews, music, and extras coming out over the next month related to Drag Race and queens in general, I decided to take a breather and post about my first passion: Music. Today we have the amazing group Side FX fronted by the beautiful and charming Kim Cameron.


This video is very sexual. It took me by surprise at first, especially when compared to their previous internet sensation "3 Seconds" which was much more tame in regards to sex appeal. This go around, Kim spends a lot of the video showing off her body and lounging in bed with a very sexy man (who I should get more familiar with, no?). Appropriately so, the video made it's debut on Playmates Presents, a talk show on SiriusXM just under two weeks ago.

Almost instantly, the video skyrocketed to over 230,000 views, and now, two weeks later, it is brimming on the edge of 300,000. Being on the Billboard Top 40 numerous times, it wasn't too far of a stretch to see the video get popular, but the numbers alone are still impressive. This is the group's second video to go viral, showing that they are no one-hit-wonder. This is surly not the last video of theirs to explode either, as this is only part one in a line of music videos spanning five installments, creating a full story line with each video featuring another song from their newest album "Spin Me Ever After".  The series, called "Spinning Romance" is being Produced by Parule Basu-Barua of Wide-Eyed Entertainment and directed and edited by Brandon Ruckdashel.

As if this isn't impressive enough, Kim has also announced that the proceeds won't even be her's alone. In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Kim is donating a portion of the profits from "The Man I Used To Know" to breast cancer research. That means that when you buy the song on iTunes, you are not only getting a great track, but you are also helping out in the grander scheme of things.

RuPaul's All Stars Drag Race Recap - It Takes Two

The queens are back! Some for better, and some for worse, but they are back, baby! I really like the way they went about All Stars for this show, in that not all of the contestants are the top placers in their seasons. Instead, they picked those that have made an impact since they left the show including some low placing contestants such as Mimi Imfurst and Tammie Brown. Enough rambling, though, it's time for the race to begin!

[Note: As All Stars is a mini-season, I won't be devoting a lot of time or energy to this show. Very few screen caps and extras thrown in this go around. Gotta save my energy for Season Five! I'll try to keep up the laughs.]
