Occasionally, when I’m bored, I like to Google “Party Favorz” to see who’s aping my shit, without giving me credit.  With an average of about 30,000 hits or more a month (based on Podbean statistics) and only 347 fans + another 50 or so on my Podbean page, I gotta think there’s more than...

I bet you thought I was going to leave you all without anything for the holiday weekend.  Now, I wouldn’t do that to you.  In a nutshell, you’re looking at a combo serving of electro-pop, funky house, big room and progressive house all rolled into one giant turkey wrap.  Mmmm, delicious!  I even added...

I like to think of this set as the second half of Janet’s career.  Much like Madonna, the first half is ensconced with the traditional house mixes prominent in the late 80s and much of the 90s.  Starting in 1997 with “the Velvet Rope,” the mixes began to take on much of what was...

>>>NO LONGER AVAILABLE<<< Exactly what constitutes a “gay anthem?”  According to Wikipedia, “A gay anthem or LGBT anthem is a song that has become widely popular among, or has become identified with, the LGBT community; usually with gay men. The lyrics of gay anthems are often marked with hope against the odds, pride, unity,...

After much delay, Gay Anthems 2009 is finally making its debut.  Over two months in the making, this four mix set originally intended for release in honor of the recent “National Equality March” in Washington will finally have a staggered release beginning November 10th.  Disappointed by the current crop of organizations that have been...

  Shortly after Obama clinched the Democratic party’s presidential nomination, Michelle Obama was quoted as saying “. for the first time in my adult life I am proud of my country because it feels like hope is finally making a comeback.“  I can honestly say with all sincerity, after last night’s loss in Maine,...
