I would love for you to join me tonight! It's FREE. You usually hear me playing familiar songs and I get to go abstract here and there. Tonight, I'm going all the way. Only disco, soul, funk, and old school. :) :) Fun!

When I say that I listen to a lot of music, I mean ...almost too much. I'm not an A&R or consultant; just a DJ. So, it's not my job to listen to EVERY single song sent to me. There are people who get paid to do that and market it. They're called "consultants." Not trying to sound condescending at all, it's just not my job. I know that some information is not common sense. You gotta look for it. If you're trying to be in this business, YOU MUST RESEARCH. ASK questions. Don't feel silly. ASK. READ. WATCH. LEARN. It's all available today.

Happy Independence Day people! I'm so grateful to live in the USA where someone won't cut my tongue off for having an opinion. Have a nice day. God bless you!

One of my besties has been trying to convince me to check out author/inspirational speaker, Caroline Myss... for over one year now. She wrote a book called, "Anatomy of the Spirit." I'm not into all the chakra and energetic healing concepts as much as my friend is, but I have been studying it more lately, especially with all the anxiety I bring upon myself.

Tongue twisters are always fun and stupid, but they help your speech! I always thought tongue twisters were funny, but after hearing some worldwide versions, WOW is all I gotta say.

I've posted a video where a variety of ethnicities and nationalities gave their respective versions. If you're reading and comprehending this, you know how to speak english, but that doesn't mean you don't get tongue tied. I took a voice and speech workshop a few years ago to improve my delivery on-air and the coach advised that I read tongue twisters every day.

Can you believe they predicted flat screens and just the whole concept of how computers would be NOW? I posted the first video because it just amazed me at how it was 1993 and this video displayed a flat screen computer. Remember those big bulky old TV like computers? I'm definitely grateful that technology has been able to consolidate computers. This particular video was for a Super Mario 2 campaign. The band, Roxette is a band who started in the 80s and continued through the 90s.

This is what I like to call "vintage." From time to time, I'll post something that I remember or a friend mentions. In this particular post, my big sis, Mina brought up how artist, Neneh Cherry had way more musical depth than what the masses heard through her pop hit, "Buffalo Stance." I admittedly still like! Shiiioooo! That thang is jammin' til this day and the video rocks! I'll post that, too, along with "7 Seconds" featuring Youssou N'Dour. The video I really want you to check out right now is called, "Woman." It's so beautiful and the video is classic.

Last night, I hope that you, at least, had the opportunity to catch the best Michael Jackson tribute thus far by singer, Chris Brown. We've all been waiting for his tribute, even ones who refuse to admit it...and I really wanted to see him at MJ's memorial, despite it being fresh after the controversy. Why? Admit that you were all upset that the incident even happened and, on top of that, would have really enjoyed his performance. The young man got "IT." No one can ever explain what "IT" is, but you know "IT" when you see "IT."

After tonight's incredible game, I wanted to let everyone know about the following message. :) :) See you at game 7!!!!!!

Usually, I don't watch soccer but...with hot men like this, how can a woman not! Aside from all that noise during the world cup, as if all the bees in the world came to witness the showdown, too, ladies, you got to admit it. WOW. I love men. You don't HAVE to look like this but it's sure nice too look. Besides, ya'll have your eye candies and so do we!
