Shortbus. Director: John Cameron. Arriving before HBO’s coital Tell Me That You Love Me, this rather sweet exploration of relationships set in a post 9/11 New York also uses explicit sex as one of its many narrative tools. The result is often sexy and funny (see Francois Ozon) but also a little sad in its…

The City and the Pillar by Gore Vidal (Vintage). Vidal was 20 when he wrote this coming-of-age novel, set in a post-war America when the word homosexual conjured netherworlds of perversion and depravity. The feat here isn’t the various affairs or even the self-lacerating observations of the characters (and what a bunch!). Maybe déjà vu…

Audra McDonald, Build a Bridge (Nonesuch). Once again one of the most beautiful voices in musical theater wraps her mezzo around a mix of quasi-theater and pop songs. When it works—in a medley of Laura Nyro songs and the surprising, thoughtful rendition of John Mayer’s My Stupid Mouth (note to singers: words matter, acting counts)—McDonald…

For listeners enamored of classic jazz collaborations between pianists and vocalists—Cassandra Wilson/Jacky Terrasson’s Rendezvous and Janis Siegel/Fred Hersch’s Shortstories come to mind—here’s a worthy addition to the canon, courtesy of the UK singer Ian Shaw and the American virtuoso Cedar Walton. In all fairness, though Shaw and Walton are the frontmen, they aren’t the only…

Lab Series for Men Maximum Comfort Shave Cream, 8oz $15 Among the samples I obtained from Sephore, this was the first cream I tried. Aloe and caffeine (a wake-up word!) are trumpeted as active ingredients: its smooth, pearly texture required very little to cover, but within moments I noticed a weird numbing around the edges…
