Comes In All Shapes and Sizes
Hey all my little monsters....
One of my favorite song lyrics from Lilly Allen states....."I'll take my clothes off...and it will be shameless....'cause, Everyone knows, that's how you get famous."
Ok, well, This; is how it Really happened. No, I mean really....the naked truth....>0 Then, of course, if I Did have the time and space here to ..."Spill the beans."...You probably wouldn't believe me anyway. Scary as the truth is sometimes. But, It caught up with me lately. When a friend of mine, Dennis Jozefowicz, asked me to answer a few candid, all the sordid detail, questions....so that he might do an "E - True Hollywood Story" type interview for the South Florida Gay News (http://www.southfloridagaynews.com) and I said ...'Sure, E-Me.
Well, and this is the truth, with only a Few sordid details left out to protect the innocent. And a coupla weeks later, he called and said that I was to be in next week's issue. Some apprehension in between....and the paper shows up with Me Center Stage....meaning put your thumb on the paper to open it...and I've been given Center fold, Right side, Full color half page picture, a not so badly spoken interview, with no ad-space around it. Honestly, and Humbly, I was Blown away. (tail wagging....wagwagwagwagwag.) (*re--Blushing).
So, believe this. No, Really. Some people, who Know me aside from my booth personality, may know that I don't really accept heart-felt compliments like that very easily. No, really. So, I thought, Wow....I Am truly blessed to have such great friends, who look after me like that. What a team we are indeed. Give yourselves all a big round of applause.....with my love.
Speaking of.....My buddy, and Love of my life, Wayne and I have been working some time now on the Production side of making music. With some excellent results. This time with Remixes of the new Ron Perkov single "It Doesn't Matter." Which, Just got released for a two week exclusive run on Masterbeat.com. Then to the world. We did two different styles of the same mix. The Herbie James Hit mix...and the Herbie James Amsterdam mix (mixes 9 & 10 on this link.) There is a snippet of both mixes on Masterbeat. Check them Out.
Other than being busy on the music....I'm just glad to BE here. Making my way in my little corner of the this blue marble of a planet. I feel so small in the big picture..(been watching a lot of the "Universe" series lately.)...but, I know that my spirit carries a Lot of energy...and energies. We are All connected...and we All get what we give. So, Might as well be positive then, right. That said....please keep your head high to the sky....and don't buy into all the hype of what you hear on TV...(TV is NOT the truth.)....and Please, don't live in fear.
So, check out my interview and my remixes....and look for a new podcast in the mix in a coupla days. I hope you're all having a great summer....stay cool...and spread some house love. Listen to some music that you may not have been exposed to before. You never know what doors it will open in your mind. If you need some help choosing....E me and I'll send you a short list to check out.
Love all around

Herbie goes Top 40 ....The Horrors!! part 3
GASP!!
Say it isn't true!!
Herbie....Top 40!!
The Horrors of it All!!
Well it Had to happen. I finally gave in. But, I went kicking and screaming. And, I'd Do It again. Turned out....it was great fun. Ok.....I didn't Totally give in to evil....the evil that is Cheeze. I did give them Herbicidal Top 40. In my own way....and That's the only way I know How to give it. Don't hate me for the shape of my head....or the music in me. It just turned Out that way. I was Trying to give the dark and dirty....because it was a dark and dirty theme party....but the crowd that night just wasn't getting it....and what with the type of requests that I was getting .....I just decided to turn the program around....and let them have what they wanted, and give them the Herbicidal Hits....as it were. So, here's what really happened. Here's how the night turned out. Here's the last two sets of the night that comprised the last hour plus and then the come-down to the end. Which I loved. I Loved the come-down. Which....is mostly why I thought the night totally worked.
Don't get me wrong....it was a packed house....and they were ONIT....but it was a completely different crowd from the night before.....when they Did get the hard dark nastiness. (that will just have to be anOther podcast....soon.) But here ya go....the Herbie at the Top. The top of the bottom of the Top 40 charts....the songs that are always in the bag.....they just don't find their way out as often....I love it all. Great tunes....Great songs. Hope you Enjoy the Ride.
So....the scene of the crime....was my latest trip to Columbus OH when I played the Exile Bar. This time it was for the Gay Softball World Series....Hot Hot Hot....The room is hot and so was the crowd. You would so Love this Room. Ok...and the Men that make it home. HOT. I'm sure that the locals appreciate all the promotions and adventures that the Exile provides. This weekend they even had a portable 100 foot shower set up out back....With a mirror ball inside. I think it was because of the fact they had "Honey Wrestling," (Bears + Honey = Tasty Bears) but, who cares why....just the fact that they had a huge truck that was a Shower....wagwagwag. Not to mention they roasted a whole pig....oink. And, they had Me....and I let them Have It....and they love me. Or so they say ...(w). I do love BEing there....and they are putting a Lot into the space. Changing it up...and before it's all said and done....it will be even more fantastic. And Talk about friendly....boing. Fun all around. Stay tuned....as I'm going back soon. Tail waggin.....wagwagwagwag. So, If you R Ever in the Columbus area....Do stop in and give your best to Rob and all the handsome crew that keep the flames burning.
Ok....it wasn't That horrible....and you'll probably really like it....just take it like a man. After all....it Is Herbicidal.
Love all around
Herbie
