JACK’D IS STACK’D WITH NEW GOODIES IN 4.0 By PATRICK WIRTH
I
n the fourth generation of Jack’d, the ability to take screenshots of anything on the app has been disabled. Yes, just try pressing and holding the sleep and home buttons on your phone to capture another guy’s image — nothing will happen. Its a big step up in security from Snapchat
10 | 9.27.17
The Gay Social App Has More Than a Brand New Look. 4.0 Emphasizes Increased Speed, Functionality and Safety
merely alerting members when a screenshot of their story has been taken and it is the latest precaution in Jack’d’s ongoing efforts to increase user safety and privacy. It follows last month’s announcement of a new blurring feature that adds a rounding error to all member coordinates so
users are only given a general idea of a guy’s whereabouts. “Safety has become a huge priority at Jack’d,” explains Alon Rivel, the app’s Director of Global Marketing. “Over the summer, we polled members on what they wanted most out of
the next version and an increase in privacy was at the top of the list. The rise in bullying and hate crimes against the LGBTQ community since the US presidential election has made security a real concern to members throughout the world.”
they can now log in through their subscription, 500 guys will load on the grid. Facebook account.
Other additions are the ability to send and receive GIFs on the app and the grid of nearby guys now loads 200 guys no matter how remote the area. It’s an important feature for men in rural Jack’d members also asked for an areas where the closest guy may overall better user experience. A be up to 200 miles away. For large percentage polled reported members that go Pro with a paid frustration with slow functionality and crashes. Jack’d had planned to update the code in 4.0, but user concern over reliability made them realize more needed to be done. They had their tech team re-write the application from scratch. They also added brand new servers to accommodate the 1.2 million gay men on the app worldwide.
Jack’d consistently ranks among the top four gay social apps in the App Store and Google Play. 67% of Jack’d members in the United States are between 1826. Nearly 60% are Black and Latino. Visit http://www.jackdapp.com.
Registration is now faster, too. Where the old version required new members to enter all personal information before being able to log in, Jack’d 4.0 allows men to skip parts of the registration process or for even quicker access,

Q-MUSIC: EXPANDED COVERAGE
BY GREGG SHAPIRO
OCTOBER IS COMING. TIME TO PULL TOGETHER AN AMAZING LIST OF NEW OPTIONS TO CREATE YOUR LGBT MONTH PLAYLIST. In the liner notes for the newly remastered 40th anniversary edition reissue of Simple Dreams (Asylum/Rhino) by Linda Ronstadt, the album’s producer, musician Peter Asher, writes that Linda is his “favorite girl singer of all time”. He’s probably not the only one who feels that way. While she does have some songwriting credits to her name, Ronstadt is first and foremost a singular interpreter of other people’s songs, with unmatched vocal power. Her exquisite (and some might say superior) cover of Dolly Parton’s “I Will Always Love You” predates Whitney Houston’s by 17(!) years. Her renditions of songs by Elvis Costello, Kate and Anna McGarrigle, Jimmy Webb and a host of Motown and Great American Songbook songwriters, are the stuff of legend. There are many amazing factors related to 1977’sSimple Dreams, beginning with the way Ronstadt returned to her country roots on J.D. Souther’s “Simple Man, Simple Dreams”, the traditional “Old Paint”, her hit rendition of Roy Orbison’s “Blue Bayou”, and her duet with Dolly Parton on “I Never Will Marry”. Buddy Holly and Warren Zevon, two songwriters who served Ronstadt well in the past, are
revisited on “It’s So Easy” and “Poor, Poor Pitiful Me”, respectively. She even kicks out the jams on her reading of the Rolling Stones’ “Tumbling Dice”. The reissue is augmented by three live bonus tracks – “It’s So Easy”, “Blue Bayou” and “Poor, Poor Pitiful Me”. Portraits of Joni (Ghostlight) is Broadway diva/ cabaret chanteuse Jessica Molaskey’s tribute
to the one and only Joni Mitchell. She extends the homage all the way to the album cover which is a reference to Mitchell’s 2000 Both Sides Now album. Too often, artists covering Mitchell rely on timeworn standards such as “River” and “Both Sides Now”. Molaskey is slightly guilty of that, too, although her versions of “Big Yellow Taxi”, “A Case Of You” and “Circle Game” (which she pairs up with Jobim’s “Waters of March”) are all admirable enough. Where Molaskey excels is in her selection of unexpected Mitchell numbers such as “Help Me”, “Dreamland” (paired with “Carey”), “The Dry Cleaner from Des Moines” (complete with a reference to “Twisted”), “In France They Kiss On Main Street” and a real golden oldie such as “Marcie”.
It’s always nice to hear from Paula Cole. Her new album, Ballads (675), may not have any originals, but hearing what she does with songs written between 1930 and 1967 is a treat in itself. A majority of the 20 songs, eight to be exact, are from the 1930s, the best of which include Cole’s takes on “God Bless The Child”, “Willow Weep For Me”, “Blue Moon” and “What A Little Moonlight Can Do”. Also notable are Cole’s interpretations of songs from the 1960s, including “Ode To Billy Joe”, “I Wish (I Knew How It Feels To Be Free)”, and the album’s timely centerpiece, Bob Dylan’s “The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll”. What’s That Sound? (Concord), the second
full-length album by 2011 American Idol finalist Haley Reinhart, makes a musical connection between the turbulent 1960s and the present day, by covering 11 representative songs from that era. Reinhart balances social statements such as Buffalo Springfield’s “For What It’s Worth”, Jefferson Airplane’s “White Rabbit”, Blind Faith’s “Can’t Find My Way Home” and The Zombies’ “Time of the Season” with the free-love spirit of the time, represented by The Turtles “You Showed Me”, The Mamas & The Papas’ “Words of Love”, Smith’s “Baby It’s You” and the Beatles’ “Oh! Darling”. She also included three originals, “Let’s Start”, “Somewhere In Between” and “Bring The Love Back Home” to remind us that she has more to offer. To commemorate its 15 year “musical partnership”, female folk trio The Wailin’ Jennys have released the wonderful and aptly-named 15 (Red House), a nine-track album of cover versions of some of its favorite songs. Even though many of the songs, including Paul Simon’s “Loves Me Like A Rock”, will be familiar, The Wailin’ Jennys have no trouble making the songs their own. This is particularly true in the marvelous renditions of Jane Siberry’s “The Valley”, Patty Griffin’s “Not Alone”, Warren Zevon’s “Keep Me In Your Heart”, Dolly Parton’s “Light of a Clear Blue Morning” and Emmylou Harris’ “Boulder to Birmingham”.
Lauded husband and wife theater twosome
Orfeh & Andy Karl join the ranks of countless
others in releasing a “live at Feinstein’s/54 Below” concert recording. Theirs is titled Legally Bound (Broadway Records), a reference to Legally Blonde, the stage musical in which the couple appeared together on Broadway. Full of the usual cabaret stage patter you’d expect from this kind of show, when the duo actual gets down to singing, it turns out they have fascinating taste in music. From soulful standards such as Ashford & Simpson’s “You’re All I Need To Get By” and “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” to When In Rome’s new wave classic “The Promise”, Prince’s “Kiss”, One Direction’s “History” and Tim Minchin’s “Seeing You”, from the musical Groundhog Day in which Karl recently starred. Almost all you need to know about Vitamin String Quartet Performs the Hits of 2017
(Vitamin) is in the title. That said, VSQ does a good job making songs by Ed Sheeran (“Shape of You”), Lorde (“Green Light”) and Clean Bandit (“Rockabye”), sound more substantial, although they couldn’t do much to rescue “Something Just Like This” by The Chainsmokers & Coldplay. Because it was already a decent song to begin with, the standout here is Lady Gaga’s “Million Reasons”.

AAA Girls in Atlanta
Willam, Alaska and Courtney - as The AAA Girls - Perform Center BY WILLIAM COOKE
Rupaul’s Drag Race alums Willam Belli, Alaska Thunderfuck and Courtney Act are teaming up once again this fall bringing their fierce, comedic AAA Girls show to fourteen US cites including Atlanta on September 26. Presented by Fullscreen Live, general admission ticket prices are $39 but in true All-
Access fashion, fans will have the opportunity to purchase packages that allow them to take photos with The AAA Girls, get autographs, and even join them on-stage! The AAA Girls North American Tour follows this summer’s release of The AAA Girls debut album, “Access All Areas.” Produced by Sam Sparro, the album’s lead single, “AAA Girls,” climbed to No. 2 on Billboard’s Comedy Album chart this summer. It received rave reviews for the music video’s throwback to classic pop star aesthetic and its celebration of drag extravaganza. “Girl groups are compelling because they’re sexy and dynamic,” explains Alaska. “At least, the AAA Girls are! I feel very blessed for having made such fun music and content with two people I consider dear friends. These ladies work so hard, and I’m really proud of the work we’ve done together.”
Drag Race All Stars 2. Courtney has released an album, produced a one woman show, and can be seen this fall on MTV’s new celebrity dating show, ”MTV Single AF”. “I am literally busting at the seams to hit the stage with Willam and Alaska on this epic tour,” exclaims Act. “These queens have worked with Britney (Spears) and Katy (Perry) so, of course, their next logical career move was to travel the world with me as the AAA Girls.” They certainly have traveled the world. The AAA Girls North American Tour follows sold-out European and Australian tours. The trio first hit the scene as The AAA Girls in 2014 to support fashion brand American Apparel’s “Support Artists, Support Ethical Manufacturing” campaign. They later released the holiday single, “Dear Santa, Bring Me A Man”. “Come see us in Atlanta ‘cause you never know what’s going to happen when the AAA Girls hit the stage,” advises Willam. Tickets for the Access All Areas North American tour are available now at www.aaagirls.net.
Alaska, Courtney and Willam are best known for their respective participation in RuPaul’s Drag Race seasons 4, 5, and 6. Since appearing on the series, Willam has starred in several television shows and currently hosts “Suck Less,” a weekly call-in talk show where she and special guests artfully throw shade and spill the tea. Since her Drag Race debut, Alaska has released two full-length studio albums and won RuPaul’s

Pride is on it’s way stock up on your fairy dust. If you’re not suppose to eat night, why is there a lightbulb in the fridge?
Don’t throw shade until you’ve walked a mile in her high heels.
Love is precious, just like the diamond I can’t afford.
I hope Atlantans are in love with their new fancy apartments and condo’s because there won’t be anywhere else to go at this rate.
Just because your pants zip up all the way, doesn’t mean they fit! Hey. You. You’re amazing. Shine on.

ARIES (Mar. 21 - Apr. 19)
LIBRA (Sep. 23 - Oct. 22)
Don’t worry that a recent embarrassment is somehow going to tarnish your reputation. In fact, a mistake or two will help prevent you from seeming unapproachably perfect!
You cannot be all things to all people -- you may sense that someone has unrealistic expectations of you, and today is the day to set that person straight about what you can -- and are willing to -- give.
TAURUS (Apr. 20 - May 20)
SCORPIO (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21)
I hope you know the difference between helpful advice and self-serving condescension -- because today someone rather unpleasant will disguise the latter as the former. Be on your guard.
Working in groups of people is favored today. Seek out the ideas and opinions of your peers, no matter what you have to do today -- whether it’s drafting a grant proposal or preparing a meal.
GEMINI (May 21 - Jun. 20)
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21)
Hard work will definitely be rewarded today -- so avoid any temptations to slack off, no matter what your assigned tasks are. See if you can reschedule that social lunch date.
If you’re concerned about your financial situation, the answer lies in saving more, not earning more. Take a look at your weekly budget, and see where you can perhaps cut a few luxury expenses.
CANCER (Jun. 21 - Jul. 22)
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19)
Don’t force yourself to get involved with a social event you don’t have the energy for tonight. If you want to go, go -- but if you want to get a good night’s sleep instead, that’s your prerogative.
If you start to feel a bit tired today, don’t pause what you’re doing -- you have more stamina than you think you do, and a second wind is near. Real success will be built on the foundations you lay today.
LEO (Jul. 23 - Aug. 22)
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18)
You will see what truly needs to be done only if you set aside your ego today -- if you act in a selfish way, you will be disappointed. Take yourself out of the equation, and all will become clear.
The rules you have to follow today may not make a lot of sense to you -- but they do serve a purpose. Don’t worry if you don’t understand just yet. Do as you’re told, and it’ll all become clear soon.
VIRGO (Aug. 23 - Sep. 22)
PISCES (Feb. 19 - Mar. 20)
Romance isn’t all roses and happy sighs -sometimes it requires hard work and real effort. If you’re not happy with your romantic situation, try approaching it the way you’d approach a problem at work.
Remember that we live in a democracy. If you and your peers are unhappy with the way a leader has been behaving, take the steps available to you to make your displeasure known. Is it time for a revolution?
