VICTORY!!!

No, I am not referring to the album by the Jacksons (yes, I am still reeling over MJ's passing and subsequent - shady - reporting on how he died, who will take the kids etc.)

I am referring to the fact that I have found a DJ mentor! Yup, someone who is going to help me 'ease on down the road.' to DJ-dom Sorry, I can't help it.... (seriously, I can't)

You'll get the formal introduction next week, but all you need to know is that this individual is going is - well not a woman. But I wont discriminate in this case. He said that I would be the Luke Skywalker to his Darth Vader. Not sure that analogy is the best, certainly not for him, but, I'll take it.

Oh, he also says that I need to get a DJ name. I have a shortlist, but I need help. Pls suggest some names - tell your friends about what I'm doing, about the blog - then ask them to help you help me.

Can you feel it? (smile, go on, let me have one more... it's how I'm celebrating him)




Oh, PS: No abusive names please!

Death of Autotune

I'm not getting distracted from the DJing thing. Honest, I promise. In fact, many good t'ings a gwaan in that area. More on that very soon.

But I just watched the BET awards, (yes, I am still going through some things with Michael Jackson, 'tis true, but you know we'll be OK, smile).

And saw Jay-Z perform Death of Autotune. I love it. I figured it might get some folks riled. I was right. In an interview with MTV, DJ Webstar said, (and I quote): 'If you take every song off the radio, what would you have?'

Exactly.

Duh! (don't make me put angry Chick's face on again, I beg).
