New from Yahoo! LAUNCHcast Radio: Gay Club Mix

Yes, gay radio has hit the internet! Just in time for the gayest Academy Awards presentation ever.

While blogging, typically I listen to my customized Yahoo! LAUNCHcast radio station.

The service has dozens of packaged stations: Hard Rock, Comedy, Today's Big Hits, Love Songs, Latin Jazz, Doo Wop are just a few of the choices.

And there is a new one: Gay Club Mix.

My journalistic curiosity was piqued: What is "gay music."

Well, I listed for about twenty minutes, the answer to that question is, I guess, gay music is dance-techno spiced with 1970s disco. Ironically, it isn't too different than the stuff my Latvian-born wife listens to, music I call "chunka-chunka-chunka," in reference to the beat that dominates these tunes.

Here is the play list of those twenty minutes listening to Gay Club Mix:

Abba: Dancing Queen
The Chemical Brothers: Hey Boy Hey Girl
Kylie Minoque: Can't Get You Out Of My Mind
Armand Van Helden: My My My
Amber: The Need To Be Naked
Cheryl Lynn: Got To Be Real

Then I switched to my customized station, and the decidedly non-gay Johnny Cash came on, with the magnificently entertaining title track from his last album blaring through my speakers.
