I feel that I’ve lost my way a bit. I wanted to become a “real” blogger — you know, get music sent my way by artists and the people that represent them. The first one thrilled me! It was like a huge vote of confidence. And then, along came the Hype machine and well, hell… we were off to the races.  Little by little music folk have been sending me stuff and finding me on facebook and Twitter. And it’s wonderful, honest. I’ve discovered some awesome music and introduced you to some great tunes. And I plan on continuing to do so!

But…. (you knew there was a but here, right?), I feel like I’ve gotten boring. Do I dare be my tarty self and risk that the good folks in the biz will still respect me? Well the answer better be, Hell Yes!

Five Great Band Names (I swear I’m going to hear these bands play this year, based just on their name)

• Sexfist – Can you believe there’s a bluegrass band named after what’s gotta be my all-time favorite activity? (That’s how I keep myself toned and tight, ladies and gentlemen – rumors to the contrary are spread by the ignorant!) Anyway, the band – only in Chicago, I swear! MySpace
• Rocktapussy – DJs Chess Hubbard (DJ Mother Hubbard) Jessica Gonyea (DJ A-Cup) and this sounds really good. MySpace
• Goblin Cock — Now maybe I’m taking this name in the wrong direction — but I’m not entirely sure this band is actually aware of “direction.” It’s the new band of Rob Crow, you might remember him from Heavy Vegetable. Oh I’m so going to see this one! I was just complaining that I had lost my metal roots. And anyway, who doesn’t love to spend an evening Goblin Cock? Oh, I mean, WITH Goblin Cock? hehehe. MySpace
• Gaybeast– need I explain this one? website

All of them play in the next few weeks — we’ll see how it stacks up! God I love a shocking good name and music that lives up to it. Last awesomely named band I saw was Holy Fuck and they seriously rocked – read my review here - M.Chutney got me a framed Holy Fuck poster for our anniversary, bless that little wifey’s golden heart.

This blog started out as a fan blog, a place to talk about music I found and loved. It will always be that kind of blog, regardless of how much music is sent my way. But the best music is always gonna be the kind of music you want to FUCK TO. Remember that, darlings. If you can’t get into it, if you don’t want to move to it, cry to it, hold someone while you listen to it, then don’t listen to it. Don’t listen to music that you think will make you look cool. Don’t listen to music that your girlfriend likes and you hate. Don’t listen to music that bores you! Listen to fucking good music. Fuck to fucking good music. Dance to fucking good fucking music. End of rant. Thanks for tuning in.

Now what do I have for you tonight? I’ve been corresponding with my good friend DJ Dollyrocker in London lately. And today in my in-box I coincidently found these two mash-ups that sound very danceable (and that I think Dollyrocker might like)!

You know, nothing is better than a good night in a club, all dressed up, unbuttoned down to THERE! Too much hairspray, not enough sleep, and eyes peeled for that sexy man or woman who you might steal a sweet kiss from, or maybe a lil something more (of course wifey M. Chutney and i agree on the rules at the onset of the evening, hehehe).

Well, fire up the stereo and imagine the disco ball whirling over the twinkly lights to the sound of these: (Dollyrocker, these are for you babes! xoxo)

The Best Ghetto Kids Are Yet To Come mp3 Don Diablo

No, Don Diablo is not trying to predict the outcome of the current credit crunch that’s making headlines daily. He did, however, do a 30-minutes mini-mix most recently for a popular UK radio show, including this special mash up: ‘Don Diablo vs MGMT vs Mýa – The best ghetto kids are yet to come’. The next day, his inbox was filled with messages regarding this particular song. Don Diablo: “I got up to 100 emails / MySpace messages from people who wanted to get their hands on this mash-up, which is made up of three different tracks. It includes parts of the opening track of my forthcoming album ‘Life is a festival’ (which should get a worldwide release in the next few months, so stay tuned), parts of MGMT’s ‘Kids’ and Mýa’s vocal performance from Pras Michel’s hit ‘Ghetto Supastar’.” ‘Don Diablo vs MGMT vs Mýa – The best ghetto kids are yet to come’ available for fans only!

That’s Not My Rave mp3 Don Diablo

Don Diablo mashes up his label mates The Ting Tings with “That’s not my Rave”, which includes the vocal performance of Katie White & Jules De Martino from their smash hit “That’s not my name” (UK #1) that was featured on their debut album “We Started Nothing”, and includes a forthcoming club banger by Don Diablo, which currently goes under the work title of “Rave Rave Rave” and will be released through all online download portals in the next few weeks. This mash-up, however, won’t get an official release, so grab it now before it’s not your rave either.
