Ariel Aparicio is a man of mystery.  A Rock-n-Roller with Cuban roots; a child of Miami and a son of New York; a former nightclub luminary and current restaurant aficionado; and now, of course, a guest of Homophonic…

But Ariel is a lot more than just a series of fascinating contradictions.  He’s also a stage-romping, nation-touring, guitar-smashing rock star with a series of albums under his belt and a brand new release that brings Queer Rock to the forefront.

He’s regaled us with tales of Andy Warhol and Grace Jones.  He’s taken us by the hand through the trials and tribulations of being an Out Rocker, a musical pioneer, and a father.  And he’s even treated us to a private performance of his hit single “I’m the One.”

And now, kids, it’s your turn!  Catch Ariel’s astounding interview and performance chez Homophonic!

You’ve waited and waited for the next Homphonic Episode to debut.  You’ve patiently counted the summer weeks away.  You’ve thought to yourself, who could it be…who could make the wait worth the while?

Well, the answer is right here, kids, with Episode 12 starring the amazing Joshua Klipp.

This transgender vocalist is turning heads of every orientation with a deep, soulful voice and deeper, beat-filled tracks of immense love.  In this episode, Joshua takes us

He’s the man with fans from Tyra Banks and the entire population of Sweden.  He’s the guy whose very 1st video was directed by Margaret Cho.  He’s the stud muffin that has every animal, mineral, and vegetable swooning at his crooning…and he’s all ours!

Joshua’s story of musical and personal transformation is jaw-dropping, and he shares it all with Alex from the couch-of-supreme-music.  From his television debut on Tyra to the road to stardom via Margaret to his groundbreaking track that features his voice both pre- and post-gender transition, Joshua tells all.

Check him out right here, on Homophonic.

We didn’t get a chance to do a video commentary with Joshua Klipp when he was here this summer, but fortunately, he’s done one for you!

It’s like one of those infinite mirror setups: here’s Josh watching Josh host NewNowNext on Logo. And then Josh watching the premiere of Josh’s video “tell me the…” from his album won’t stop now.

And here’s the video in its sexy entirety.
