The Advocate Guide to Gay Men's Health and Wellness
Scan most health and fitness books aimed at men and you'll find the assumption that the reader is heterosexual. Even some books focusing on male sexuality treat the fact that some men have sex with men coyly or as an afterthought, or ignore the possibility altogether. In his new book, Dr. Spinelli argues that this is indicative of a general reluctance among the medical community to discuss homosexuality with patients, a timidity that ignores the special needs and issues of gay men.
Just a girl in the world
After spending years traveling the globe to entertain audiences from Provincetown to Australia, what's a songbird to do? Put on a show about the experience, of course. At least that's what big girl Varla Jean Merman (big as in larger than life, natch) has done. The hilariously ditzy drag queen's new show, <I>Varla Jean Merman Loves a Foreign Tongue</i>, will take you around the world and back (or is that on Varla's back?) with a <I>masala</i> of <I>chansons</i> from <I>surtout le monde</i>. <I>Ne c'est pas dankeshoen</i>?
'An extraordinary opportunity'
Since being elected mayor of Cambridge by her city council peers, Denise Simmons has fielded a few questions from the three grandchildren she is raising: Can they enjoy watching the Super Bowl on the flat screen TV that hangs in the mayor's office? Does this mean extra tickets to the high school graduation? Will they get an allowance now?

MassEquality supporters still willing to roll up their sleeves

Wanted: a few good gays
The City of Cambridge's GLBT Commission, which grew out of an LGBT town hall meeting that current Cambridge Mayor Denise Simmons organized in 2004, is looking for new members to advocate for equality for all Cambridge citizens, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.
Few facts emerge from Yakovleff murder investigation
Two weeks after 20-year-old Daniel Yakovleff was found stabbed to death in a Dorchester apartment very little information has come to light about the circumstances behind his murder. It is unclear why Yakovleff, a popular hair stylist at the South End's Liquid Hair Studios who lived in Roxbury, traveled the evening of Jan. 16 from the South End's Boston Eagle bar to the Tuttle Street apartment of Steven Odegard or what connection, if any, Odegard had to Yakovleff's murder.
Lucky
Sounding older and wiser on their fifth album - or at least a bit world weary - Nada Surf delivers a pleasant disc of generally mellow indie pop that gently alternates between up-tempo, guitar heavy numbers and slower songs that put the emphasis on the band's lovely harmonies.
The Bedlam in Goliath
Since I am a child of the 80s, I am a certifiable old fogey who often doesn't quite "get" what the "kids" are "downloading" nowadays. So I can only dimly perceive the appeal of The Mars Volta.
Made in the Dark
What lies between soulless, twee plink-plonking and endless samples that mercilessly burrow into your brain? A really fun eloctropop album.
