I hit mix tape gold. This is the CD I’ll be playing before I hit the club, while I work on professional projects, and it’s shaping up to be the soundtrack of summer. The lyrics in this podcast are covering all the romance and drama in my life so perfectly, so of course I got to share

This mix is brought to you by DJ Edgartronic

I’ll introduce his style by a quote off his Myspace is ” Please, no wedding DJ inquiries (unless you want your wedding music to consist of electro, indie & rock remixes and some 80s).”

It was done for Faction 6, hosted by DJ Narcolept, who describe themselves as:

“We are independently owned and operated. We are not guided by persuasive music labels and all shows are commercial free. Every show is 100% free for download on iTunes. Faction-6 invites you to turn off your radio and turn yourself onto our shows.”

Here’s the track listing if you want to peep it before downloading and my ever famous youtube emeds:

One of the songs in the mix (wrong version though) but I gotta add it because the lyrics are exactly what I’m doing in the club (minus the drug references lol)

“I’m getting tired and i’m sweaty,
but i still want to touch you if you let me.
Because we hugged a few times
it was special
and we’ll be working all night cause its pumping.
And you were special

My hand slipped into your hand,
and it was awesome
and you were special.”

BONUS:

I wanted to give a shout out to this FR*A fan spotted at a curry and adobo bday party.

Traci Kanamori is a SDAFF Street Team Leader and loves the FR*A line of shirts.

<<Old PSA telling you not to make mixtapes. Bonus points if you can tell me where this logo can now be found!

I’m loving this website www.muxtape.com not only because Muxtape is touting itself as a digital equivilent of analog mixtapes or because of that uploading a song and creating your muxtape takes a matter of seconds but because of the mixtapes people come up with! (I created http://richandcreamy.muxtape.com/d in under 30 seconds including load time for that one song!)

I think it’s fun to type into google a random search term + muxtape and finding what people have thrown together. You get thousands of results and get to stumble upon links you may have never fallen on top of normally.

There’s one blog that made me feel compelled to share Muxtapes with FR*A and that’s http://www.butterteam.com for giving us

THE ULTIMATE COUGAR MUXTAPE

“A cougar unexpectedly crosses your path at the bar/grocery store. You think quickly on your feet, make a signature move, and she takes the bait. Even if things start to go downhill back at your place (you haven’t exactly tidied up and there’s only one bullet in the fridge) that’s nothing a little Keith Sweat + Patrick Swayze + Rick Astley can’t fix.”

Based on my own cougar experiences I’d rate this as a certified panty dropper.

BONUS!

Here’s a youtube video of a strange Sony Walkman commercial:

Marie Digby has been covered by FR*A in the past but she’s getting another post because

1) New Album Unfold in Stores Now

2) Free Guitar Giveaway Contest

3) She’s uber cute. Not girly cute but cute like being in 3rd grade and having a crush on your teacher cute.

So check out her myspace and her tutorial video below!

I came to know about this zine/event when I met the organizer Lady Basco.

I’m a fan so I thought I’d shout her out here =) Here’s the obligatory myspace link:

http://www.myspace.com/tardandfeathered

and here’s a self description:

“What is tard and feathered?

originally an underground zine, now turned weekly hang. every sunday. it’s putting a bunch of people together from different genres and mediums into one space. from live paint, to hip hop, to singer songwriters, to poets. a place to work things out. chat. be.

and eat.

free bbq 4 to 5 every week. ”

Here’s video from one of the shows:

and one of my favorite pieces from her:

I’m not sure when I’ll be able to get up there to make it for a show so go in my place and tell me if the BBQ is good!

Well that is if Guns ‘n Roses releases Chinese Democracy in 2008. From the official Dr. Pepper Press Release:

“It took a little patience to perfect Dr Pepper’s special mix of 23 ingredients, which our fans have come to know and love,” said Jaxie Alt, director of marketing for Dr Pepper. “So we completely understand and empathize with Axl’s quest for perfection — for something more than the average album. We know once it’s released, people will refer to it as “Dr Pepper for the ears” because it will be such a refreshing blend of rich, bold sounds — an instant classic.

Show your support for Axl and get on the nightrain of encouragement at www.chinesedemocracywhen.blogspot.com -”

Guns ‘n Roses official response was:

“We are surprised and very happy to have the support of Dr Pepper with our album “Chinese Democracy,” as for us, this came totally out of the blue. If there is any involvement with this promotion by our record company or others, we are unaware of such at this time. And as some of Buckethead’s performances are on our album, I’ll share my Dr Pepper with him.”

Now the question all America is asking is if the album were to be released how would we get our Dr. Pepper and can we get it cold, please?

If anything you got to applaud Dr. Pepper’s clever use of viral marketing. First they gave us Cherry Chocolate Rain (seriously the best limited time offer soda since Pepsi Blue) and now this stunt!

And because I always include videos in my posts here is Dr. Pepper being shot by a gun in slow motion:

I know I owe this blog an in depth thought piece but it’s been crazy opening my own blog over at www.sandiegogaslampandnightlife.com If you ever visit SD I’ll take care of you! Just forgive me yes?

And this post is sexy.

I know, sometimes I blog on here with what are really bloated comments

Frances Bean Cobain, the daughter of Kurt and Courtney, is getting some buzz beyond just her heritage.

She has just appeared in Harper’s Bazar as the stars of Evita, Grease and Beauty and the Beast.

Obligatory Youtube video! Because 60% of America is sub literate.
