Our Lady J is a woman on a musical mission of biblical proportions. This week on Homophonic, she takes her heavenly throne next to Alex on the couch for a revival of some of her most popular works on stage and a look into the future of her special brand of catechism.

From her humble (though no less divine) beginnings as a pianist and composer at a conservatory for prodigy teens through her time as an accompanist for the most famous dance companies in the world to her foot-stomping, crowd-moving "Gospel Revivals" of edgy Out music, Our Lady J teaches Alex and Lee a little something about redemption.

When she's not orchestrating her songs for a 16-piece chorus and making true believers out of New York's most skeptical audiences, just what is the Lady up to? Planning her first European tour, of course!

All this plus a live performance of a jaunty new track called "Timid Song" right here in the homostudio.

Get your fill of salvation, Lady J style, after the jump!

In this week's Gay Agenda video blog, Jennifer Vanasco and Jon Mallow discuss the much-debated New Yorker cover that depicted Democratic candidate Barack Obama and his wife Michelle as terrorists fist-bumping one another in the Oval Office. People on both sides have been reacting strongly to the cover, but does it merit the fuss? Is there a difference between satire and slander?
