Distracted by Mozart.....how did That happen??

Play/Download Ramrod Sleaze

HELLO all you 4/4 Beasts,

Over time.....I have prided myself....on having a broad taste in music....most of it from my piano background....so, can you imagine....that when I'm home...mostly....I listen to Music.Got to love it.....So....for the last hour...I've been mad glued to a performance of the Mostly Mozart Festival...live from Lincoln Center....an incredible Piano concerto....and of all things....Variations on Twinkle Twinkle Litte Star.....hehehe....It was incredible...So let me encourage you All ...to open your musical horizons Anytime you get the chance....and Particularly if you get a chance to see good Live music.

Here's a heads up for one such occasion....IF you live in the south Florida area.....on November 1st...is Chick Corea (piano) duet with Gary Burton (Vibes)....at the Broward center....Not to be missed...Trust me...and say hi if you run into us there.

So whatever your tastes...and since All music is related ....and exposure to other types of music will only serve to make you a better DJ, musician, listener, humanitarian....and as is the reason you all read my rants anyway.....we all love music that moves us....so don't be afraid if you find yourself moved by classical music....you may just be learning to breathe all over again....and then.. the next time you find yourself caught up in the endurance of a packed dance-floor....you just might find that the way you listen to what the DJ is giving you ...Moves you in ways it didn't before.

I got this great new toy...by Archos....it's actually a camcorder....but it allows me to record....in Waveform....all my sets....for me mostly to listen and see what stays and plays...or what gets pulled from the bag...so...when I post a set up for your listening approval...it's usually because I feel that it's a good representation of the way it's coming out....and also a set of tunes that you may not have heard to death....or that could turn out to be your new faves.....but; I always play for my crowd....so you will hear some "Big" records of the time....everything in it's place....sort of a trick I'm playin' on ya ....Yep...those are the hooks....the tools if you will....to get you to the Herbicidal ....BOING.

Now's when I invite all you 4/4 beasts to listen to My new set of late...It's definitely late night peak-time energy... This is the way it gets when they come by the booth and tell me it's Herbicidal.....when they tell me that they've been trying to leave the club....but haven't been able to reach the door....course I think it's just that by this time ....they are too hooked on the pheromone overload that is making Me give it to 'em this way in the first place.... wagwagwagwag.... So it's true....if you rub on it....IT MOVES. Hope this set helps you move yours.....wagwagwag.

See you in the clubs ....say hi when you see me in the booth.

Love all around
