Life certainly changes at a whims notice. In the spring, I had announced my intent to go back to school. I had applied, got accepted, shelled out $580 to UT to get my transcripts released and transferred, took blood tests to ensure I had all of my childhood immunity vaccinations, submitted my application for financial aid which was approved and finally met with a counselor to cover the courses I was going to need and also found out everything transferred with a 3.47 GPA. As it turns out, it looks like I will be having an operation in August which will require some extensive rehab afterward.
Consequently, school is off the table at least until spring. So what does that have to do with this site you might ask? That just means you have me in your full service at least until the end of the year. Experience has taught me that no matter how much you prepare and/or set your course, obstacles (sometimes good, other times bad) get in your way. At this point, everything is tentative and I fully expect to keep on keeping on through the end of December. Frankly, this has been a whirlwind of a year.
It started off with the failure of not one, but two 1TB external hard drives and my primary hard drive on my computer causing me to lose a ton of my music, photos, artwork and documents that hadn’t been backed up to DVD yet. Rick’s mom passed away a couple of months ago and that put a strain on our budget to fly him back to Texas. He hasn’t been the same since getting back and I’m hoping that will change sooner rather than later.
After all, I rely on him a great deal and I don’t enjoy seeing him so down. Nevertheless, we keep plugging away in hopes to finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. Personally, I’d prefer the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, but I’ll take what I can get.LOL!
I’ve decided to take this next week off; well sort of anyway. I’ll be opening up the site to my guest DJs to promote their own work and I even have newcomer (for here) Frank Wild from San Francisco on board with us as well. While I can’t promote everyone’s work all the time, much less listen to all the mixes that are submitted to me, if you’re interested, feel free to send me an email (located in the upper left hand corner of my site under the “about me” section) along with your info, website and any cover art and/or logo and pics plus track listing you might want to use to in the post.
The other thing I’ll be working on is my first radio-themed podcast where I’ll preview some of my favorite songs of the moment. No, this is not going to be a countdown, rather a way for me to share with people songs I think they should consider along with up and coming releases that are not yet available for purchase.
This week, I’ve had the good fortune to preview two new songs by DJ Bill Bennett (yes, he did send them along after all) which will drop on the 27th. I’m kind of feeling my way around this and hope that people will find it useful.
For now, I’ll try to keep it down to 30 minutes or so and will see what the response is before I take the full plunge. If there are any other DJs, producers or artists that have something new coming out (keep it in the realm of dance music please) feel free to forward it along with release dates, bio info, production credits and any available artwork for consideration for future shows.
Alright, enough boring you guys to tears. Here’s the third and final set of the Summer Edition. You’ll notice that the first half is your usual fair (in a good way of course) before turning decidedly progressive for the second half.
Between the original Party Favorz mixes and the BPM editions, I’ve been trying to make up for the now-defunct System Edition with songs that I feel mesh nicely within these sets. I’m a big believer in diversity and by mixing it up, it keeps these mixes from becoming stale and redundant.
One last thing, with the onslaught of really great music being released late this summer, it does appear you guys will be treated to my Fall Edition by Labor Day (September 1st for those that live outside of the U.S.). It’s unusual for so much highly anticipated music to be released this early in the season, but I think you can thank Whitney Houston for that.
Right now I’m expecting new stuff from Madonna, Mariah, Shakira not to mention Ralphi Rosario, Ron Perkov and a bevy of other artists. So keep your ears wide open because even more excitement is on the way.
That’s all I have for you today. I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend and all those attending the San Diego Pride events, have a great time! I’ll be back next week with some guest DJ mixes and the new Party Favorz Picks podcast. Until then.enjoy!
