Not Potatoes
Let’s talk about music for a bit. If anybody has Sirius or XM satellite radio you can hear “Deeper Into You” over the radio; something I have yet to do and cannot wait until the day that it catches me completely off guard. Junior Vasquez has a radio show on XM that airs Saturday nights from 1-3AM ET and features my song in his loop. How cool is that? It gets better. Junior is hard at work putting together the first mix of DIY! I couldn’t be happier.
Sirius radio has a gay themed radio station called OutQ and there you can hear the song as well. As of the 17th of February I am holding the #5 spot on their top 20!
I am sure that most of you have heard of a “mash-up” – two songs that have no relation separately, but when artfully strung together create something entirely new. I love them because both songs hold their own memories for me and together they are a new sensory experience rich in emotion and a good time past X2! I just recently came across a station on Sirius that plays a majority of mash ups much to my delight.
In LA we are lucky enough to have a club that caters to the fans of mash-ups called “Blender” every third Saturday night at Faultline in Silverlake. Usually a leather bar, the boys at Faultline welcome DJ Tripp Rawburtz with open flies and an appreciation for something new and fun. I have always found the leather community to be a really great, fun-loving, open group of men that are concerned with having the most fun possible and ensuring that everybody around them is as well.
DJ Tripp is one musically talented Mofo! He was the one who created the mash-up that I wiggled my weenie to during the Live and Raw show last Thursday; I am hoping to make it a regular thing on the show during my scheduled times. In the meantime, check Tripp out at his MySpace page. And have a listen to “4″ of my favorites that the music man has mashed up.
Johnny, I love DEEPER INTO YOU, and I Recommendated it to my friends! But it seems that I never heard about the other two.
Do you like Justin Timberlake? SEXY BACK, I think, is wonderful. Maybe you should have a test! It’s as sexy as DEEPER INTO YOU. And I don’t know wheather you like punk, I love punk! Just my Recommendation.
Listening to “Dancing…” gave me this mental image that something in our dimension had ripped and there was a fissure in time. I could see the two song eras spilling out, over onto each other. I can visualize a pretty trippy music video. This particular mash-up creates a rich and edgy, almost exotic listening experience. I also loved it. Thanks Johnny!
Just bought it on iTunes… “WOW!” was my first reaction… Great beat and sexy voice… Just as hot as the singer.
Now to cool off.. He’ll have a New Castle.
This place is turning into Lush Central.
That’s cool… I’m pretty high myself tonight
I’ll be back to school this afternoon, the vacation is over. I feel sooooooooooo bad. Just being here to say that see you next weekend!
BTW, if it’s ok, could you give me the lyric of “Deeper Into You”?
That ABBA mash-up is INSPIRED! Thank you very much for sharing it! So when do we get to hear a “Deeper Into You” mash-up? *wink*
I’ve been so busy writing stupid shit it only occured to me now that I hadn’t clicked on the audio. “Smells Like Kelly’s Behind” is just brillant, right down to its title. I’m less sure about the other one, but maybe that’s because I really love the original “Dancing Queen” and “Bust A Move”.
BTW, does anyone know whatever happened to Young MC? Rap usually bores me to tears but his albums were among the few I ever bought in the genre, back in the day. The guy was really, really talented. Not to mention really, really cute.
