In the first of our two traditional holiday season special programs,
with bluesy/jazzy/country/pop/rock from the personal to the whimsical
to the political, the music of Sonia & disappear fear, Ryan States,
Roger Mapes, Kevin Wong, Sean Wiggins, Avi Wisnia, Kristie Stremel and
Mike Rickard is proudly featured in the “AUDIOFILE 2010 YEAR IN REVIEW”

- As always, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender artists provided the “soundtrack” for the ongoing struggle by sexual minorities for equality around the world with an exceptional variety of gender-and-genre-bending music during the past year. And as always, limiting the artists they featured during the year to just a few was no easy task, but JD DOYLE, CHRIS WILSON, PAM MARSHALL and CHRISTOPHER DAVID TRENTHAM share eight of their favorites from the past 12 months in the “AUDIOFILE 2010 YEAR IN REVIEW”: excerpts from “Call Me Sonia” and “Pack of Newport” from SONIA & DISAPPPEAR FEAR’s “BLOOD, BONES & BALTIMORE”; “Immigrant (Fish Out of Water)” and “Better (When You’re Older)” from RYAN STATES’ “STRANGE TOWN”; “I Wanna Know” and “Freedom” from ROGER MAPES’s “HOUSE OF JOY”; “Legion of the Broken” and “Denial” from KEVIN WONG’s “THE PINK IN THE GREY”; “Georgia” and “Make Myself Laugh” from SEAN WIGGINS’ “NAKED THURSDAYS”; the title track and “No Scrubs” from AVI WISNIA’s “SOMETHING NEW”; “Best Kiss” and “Unstoppable” from KRISTIE STREMEL’s “COLOR OF STARS”; and “When the Hot Cools Down” and “Stupid Stuff Like That” from MIKE RICKARD’s “SWEAT”.

Well, let’s face it friends, this
year’s gone to the rats
I’ve gained nothing more but one more roll of fat
Last Hallowe’en and Valentine’s
Left nothing more than aging lines
But one thing’s got me holding my glass high

Next year all my dreams will be
a carbalicious candy tree
A man, a dog, a steady job
A house that’s slightly less macabre
yes next year
I’ll be smiling too
yes next year
my dreams will all come true

Yes next year all my days will be
a rhapsody of gaiety
Empowered and self actualized,
I’ll cut my facebook down to size
yes next year
I’ll be laughing through
yes next year
my dreams will all come true

I know that first I’ve got to get
through all that Christmas jingling
And new year’s eve’s the worst
it ends in vomiting and crying
But January 1st will come and
I will wake up smiling

For next year,
Everything will change
yes next year
It’s going to go my way

See next year
I’ll be smiling too

Next year
My dreams will all come true
