  |  Music to Your EarsEverything Good!Jason Daniello's back in town for a Naomi-style reunionJason Daniello is always smiling. It’s no act—his smile is molded to that contagious positive attitude of his. And if you saw him perform when he lived here in Albuquerque, you probably caught it, too, along with a head full of songs.
 Xavier Mascareñas SpotlightPride Radio Streams to Albuquerque—Without Local ContentHD station pushes national pop artists and tries to avoid stereotypesAmong the last 10 songs played one Friday afternoon on Pride Radio: "I Wanna Sex You Up," Color Me Badd; "Behind Hazel Eyes," Kelly Clarkson; "Summer Love," Justin Timberlake. What makes these tracks particularly gay or prideful? You'd have to do some traveling to find out. The programming for Pride Radio, broadcasting over HD to Albuquerque and Santa Fe, is selected in New York. Clear Channel's Jason Ortiz spoke about the newest addition to our HD roster, a channel geared toward gay and lesbian communities that's been streaming to us from Dallas/Fort Worth since April.
Fiesta!P-R-I-D-EThe "P" stands for partyThere are two things you're sure to find in abundance during ABQ Pride: queer people and dancing. And lots of queer people dancing.

 Show Up!The LeftoversOn the moveBarely hugging their 20s, The Leftovers make good music from the bygone pop-punk days even better.

But their loyalty to three-minute songs with catchy hooks has gotten them farther than any backyard makeout session.
 [click to enlarge] Flyer on the WallAnd Now for Something Completely DifferentI like this Elias-Axel Pettersson guy. I like that he's giving a classical piano recital at the El Rey, of all places. I like that his mom called me to tell me how awesome he is. I like that she probably made this poster, too. He's playing at 3 p.m. on Sunday, June 10. I imagine it's all-ages, but I'd like it even more if it wasn't. Just for the weirdness of it all. $15. (LM)
