FOF #236 – Year of the Dawg
Standard Podcast [57:41m]:
Here's the latest in the category Soundseeing Tours
post a commentThe Chinese Zodiac considers 2006 to be the year of the dog. Insert joke here. So naturally, Miss Ronnie and Marc begged and pleaded Fausto to go to the south side and represent at the Chinese New Year Parade.
What was odd about the event was the lack of Asian people. There were high school hip-hop marching bands playing “Candy Shop,” Irish and Scottish six-footers and their lesbian pals playing the bagpipes, plenty of corporate floats (Mickey D’s and Radio Disney) lots of floats with politician’s logos, but very VERY few Chinese or any Asian organizations, groups, or spectacles.
Being big fans of Chinese opera, we really wanted to see some outlandish stuff. Somebody said “farewell” to all the concubines, the most interesting people were the college students dressed up in costumes promoting a Chinese dance show. (more…)
FOF #226 – Puertorican Rainforest Soundscape
Standard Podcast [32:09m]:
One of the most beautiful sounds that comes out of Puerto Rico besides the music itself, is the ambient gorgeous sounds of the tropical rainforest. Full of life, the ears explode in a majestic lush of sound that can only come from a dense canopy of thousands of lifeforms calling out to each other.
Okay, I’m waxing a bit too much poetic, but I AM from Puerto Rico. This music and these sounds and the Yunque itself (the name for the mountain/preserve) are a big part of my psyche, my personality and my idenity. So indulge me! (more…)

FOF #191 – Austin Satisfaction
Standard Podcast [37:55m]:
There’s a whole new generation of gay men who have a much more open view about the world. I don’t know how to describe it, but I know when I see it. Brandon, the podcaster from Austin Exhaustion is one of those wonderful people you casually meet at an anti-war rally who then later become friends with you for a very long time.
On today’s show, listen as Brandon and I, your flaming blue pal Fausto do a little soundseeing tour of Austin, Texas. We even went inside the SEXY Gregory Gym Locker Room on the University of Texas Campus where all the hot college jocks change to give you the sounds of lockers slamming.
We also had a delicious sushi dinner with my mom Patricia and her pan-Asian housemates Jing and Josna (please forgive me for my horrible spelling guys.)
Later this week: Victoria Lamarr celebrates her birthday with a double date with Miss Ronnie, and a BRAND new segment from our NYC correspondent John Q Sanchez!

FOF #190 – Broadway Babies
Standard Podcast [42:07m]:
Every year our local GLTBQ Health Center, Howard Brown throws a gala dinner to raise funds at the luxrious Hilton Hotel in downtown Chicago. Of course, Victoria Lamarr and I got to crash the party and we hung out with some fabulous real-life Broadway divas like Marin Mazzie, star of the current Broadway musical Passion and Kiss Me Kate.
Marin liked us SO much she invited V-Marr and myself out to her tour bus to soak in her lovely jacuzzi. Of course, recording equipment won’t work around steam, so we cant tell you what happened. I don’t kiss and tell.
Check out these lovely photos taken by Jason Smith and Fausto Fernós from the event! Visit Jason Smith and hire him to take your XXX-mas photos: www.jasonsmith.com
