For this final set, I thought I’d step down from my diamond-encrusted soapbox and just talk briefly about this final mix. Unlike the other sets, this one’s all about the NRG. From 131 to 138 BPM, everything here is pretty much at break-neck speeds. Packed with familiar gems, I found that compiling the songs with faster beats might be a better idea than meshing them in with the slower ones. Once I saw the disparity of the speeds, this was the first mix I decided to create. From start to finish, this is just as worthy as the other sets.
I received an email from one of our followers yesterday who had jumped the gun and sent me an advance of $40 in anticipation of these four sets. Having listened to the first two, he said these were “so gay.” A term loosely used by kids today to mean “lame ” or “stupid.” Of course, I knew what he meant and I’m glad he liked them. Yeah, these are pretty fucking gay sets, as they were intended. The songs I chose to include are simply frivolous and fun. As such, I thought I might ask everyone that’s purchased them so far to please leave a comment on the fan page under each mix and tell me what you think. Too gay or not gay enough? What’s your favorite set and why? I think your feedback would be invaluable for those currently sitting on the fence as to whether or not they’ll donate to my efforts. Frankly, I’ve been listening to the finished product for the past month or so and just can’t seem to get sick of them, which is usually the case with my other mixes. For me, it doesn’t get any better than driving around with my sunroof open on a beautiful day in the ATL and blasting the queerest songs on the planet. It certainly raises a lot of eyebrows at our local Starbucks, which is nothing more than a local gay hangout. I bet if I could pull into the parking lot and blast these mixes through some giant JBLs, I could have those queens up and out of their seats with their mochas in tow, dancing around like a bunch of silly school girls. So please, tell me what you think, I’d love to hear from every one of you.
Ultimately, if you haven’t been bouncing off the walls to these songs, then I either didn’t do my job correctly or we need to strip you of all of your gay credentials. Frankly, I’m leaning toward the latter LOL. I hope you enjoyed the music so far and I look forward to making a companion package to these mixes in the spring of 2010. I want to thank everyone that has supported my efforts to give back to Equality Across America. For those holding out to see if these will ever be free, sorry it ain’t gonna happen.
So what’s next for Party Favorz? I’m glad you asked. Between now and the end of the year, you can expect a couple of Diva Series, at least two BPM Editions (which are going to be HOT), a T-Dance Edition, and the Holiday Edition. I’m wide open as to whether I’ll do a Year-End Edition this go around. I haven’t made up my mind just yet, though if I do, there’s a good chance I’ll spill that into early January. As you can see, time is running out and I have a lot on my plate. When all is said and done, I plan on taking a month off for some much-needed rest and to work on other projects I’ve got going.
I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend and remember to always enjoy life because it might just pass you by when you’re not looking.
Peace Out. – K
