RIBS TPTD: Help From My Friends…
Ah… back in the game and feeling good!
With “awful April” well behind me now, things are looking better and better with each passing day. I was going to go with the traditional “Triple Play” format today, but I started messing around with a few songs and ended up with this particular set of tunes that I’m sure you’ll enjoy. For today’s playlist, I’m doing something that I haven’t done in a while… a little beatmixing. The time was the early to mid 80s, Disco had taken over the land for a few years back then and the music was pumpin’ and the clubs were jumpin’! Yours truly had just finished college and relocated from Beantown back home to NJ and was working, single and DJing on the side. Whoo-Hoo, those were the days! A lot of today’s selections are tunes me and the crew used to party to back in the day when the J-O-B ended at 5pm, the party started at Midnight and the last stop before calling it a night was the local diner for breakfast around 5 in the morning.
Oh, one thing before we get to the music. I struggled for a minute trying to figure out what to call this mix, since it isn’t in the regular TPTD format (which are really easy to name). In the end, I had one of those Homer Simpson, “DOH!”, moments as it was staring right in front of me all the time. As you will hear when you download the podcast file, this mix is a little different than any of my previous mixes in the fact that there are a few “vocal drops” sprinkled throughout the mix. Credit for this goes out to my man, Fave (FridayFavecast.com) who made the suggestion to the “SoulSites Podiverse” crew last month that we all create promotional “drops” (he calls it the Drop Swap) for each other. Unfortunately, at the time April was kicking my you-know-what and I’m a little late getting my drops done for my fellow podcast fam (they are coming though, that’s a promise!). However, many of the fam members came through for your boy here and the mix includes drops from my partners-in-podcasting: EJFlavors, Fave and Mr. Fresh. So I… got a little help from my friends! Very appropriate and fitting. This will be a regular feature of the mixes from now on and you will be hearing many of the other voices from the “Podiverse” in the mix in the future.
