Coffee Date

$19.99

TLA Releasing

When Todd (Jonathan Bray) is set up on a blind M4M Internet date as a joke by his brother, he ends up meeting Kelly (Wilson Cruz). A case of mistaken identities during the titular Coffee Date leads friends and family to believe that Todd may be of the pink persuasion, as he and Kelly hit it off in a platonic sense.

It makes Todd question his sexuality and lays the groundwork for a comedic look at how heteros versus homos view each other.

Also stars Jonathan Silverman, Elaine Hendrix, Jason Stuart, Sally Kirkland and Deborah Gibson.

The Gymnast

$24.95

Wolfe Video

This multi-award-winning best feature, which took the film festival route, has been called “a rare gem of a film” and “delivers emotional intensity in tastefully spectacular wrappings.”

The emotional intensity comes from a storyline involving a once formidable gymnast named Jane (Dreya Weber) who has suffered a career-ending injury, which has left her a shell of her former self, professionally and personally.

That is, until she meets Serena, a dancer of the cirque-esque variety, who embodies a mysterious quality that draws Jane into her world, and may just return her to her former glory days.

Dynasty: The Second Season

$38.99

Paramount

Relive the ’80s glory days, when the hair was huge, shoulder pads were the must-have fashion accessory, money was king and many a gay male was a “Dynasty” queen. The second season of the nighttime soap placed “Dynasty” at the top of its game, thanks in large part to the inclusion of uber-bitch Alexis (Joan Collins) to the cast. It also introduced viewers to the money-hungry Sammy Jo (Heather Locklear). And yes, this is the season that had the very first catfight between Joan Collins and Linda Evans!

The Indian Clerk: A Novel

David Leavitt

$24.95

Bloomsbury USA

Noted novelist David Leavitt (The Lost Language of Cranes) takes readers on a journey into the “fragility of the human connection and the need to find order in the world,” and focuses on the relationship between real life mathematicians Srinivasa Ramanujan and G.H. Hardy during the early 1900s.

Paul Van Dyk

In Between

Mute U.S.

$14.98

DJ extraordinaire Paul Van Dyk has enlisted the talents of a Pussycat Doll (Jessica Sutta) and a former Talking Head (David Byrne), among other artists, to deliver his latest disc of original tunes, which is sure to get you to the gym with its pulsating rhythms.

But make no mistake, this isn’t your typical dance music CD. The German-born disc jockey has incorporated hauntingly evocative songs, like the appropriately titled, “Haunted” onto the 17 track CD.

Ari Gold

Transport Systems

Centaur

$16.98

Out and proud recording sensation, Ari Gold, returns with his brand of “political pop” and takes listeners for a joy ride on Transport Systems.

Tackling issues within the structure of a pop song has become Gold’s forte, and this CD is no exception to that rule. With looks at the down low phenomenon (“Mr. Mistress,”) gender identity (“Transport Me”) and even the blight of the gay community, crystal meth addiction (“Feeding The Fire”), Gold manages to tell tales with infectious grooves intact.

The Pipettes

We Are The Pipettes

Cherry Tree/Interscope

$9.98

Reminiscent of the girl groups of the 1960s, The Pipettes have been described as “a trio of dancing polka-dotted young British babes” who prove “that sugary pop about good girls and bad boys has no expiration date.”

But there is a huge difference between these ladies and their 1960s inspirations; they do not pine away for the man of their dreams. They are firmly in control of their lives on tracks like “One Night Stand” and “Your Kisses Are Wasted On Me.”

The Pipettes prove they are a timeless new addition to the pop music scene.

We Are The Pipettes will be released on Oct. 2.

Annie Lennox

Songs of Mass Destruction

Arista

$18.98

Annie Lennox’s fourth solo album is a showcase of an emotionally raw woman who has been a “Diva” and a “Medusa” on previous works.

This disc finds the former lead singer of the Eurythmics bypassing borders of what she is capable of as an artist and delivers a combination of thought provoking lyrics melded into a distinctive pop sound, which is clearly evident on the first single, “Dark Road.”

The feminist anthem, “Sing,” features such music industry heavyweights as Fergie, Pink, Dido, Celine Dion, Melissa Etheridge and Madonna performing with Lennox; and the song also raises awareness for TAC (Treatment Action Campaign), which is an organization that raises funds and awareness for human rights, education and health care for those affected by HIV/AIDS.

Songs of Mass Destruction will be released on Oct. 2, and Lennox will be kicking off her “Annie Lennox Sings” tour in San Diego on Oct. 8.
