Here is a rare mid-week treat for you. And 'Lou Gramm' may seem a bit random compared to the artists I usually choose, but there is a story...the past three times I have stopped in to Walgreens they were playing this song! It seemed like some kind of message, you know, three times a charm.

Hopefully next time its not the Monkees or Meatloaf, right?

Check out my MySpace blog, www.myspace.com/dj_tim_a. I have posted reviews of new albums by Donna Summer, Cyndi Lauper, Coldplay and Duffy.

LOVE, PEACE, and MUSIC - always...

This is one of those love songs from the 70's and 80's mammoth "Chicago" that gets in your head and sticks there like peanut butter!! (of course with my own little twist)

This mix was originally published with the "80's Reinvented Volume 3", as an unrealesed track. But I recently received a request for it to be released on its own by one of the listeners, so here it is!

VERY VERY Shortly - hopefully this weekend in fact, "80's Reinvented Volume 4" will be released and it to will have a previously unreleased track.

On my MySpace blog you will find some new music reviews. I will be posting reviews of Donna Summers new effort "Crayons" and Cyndi Lauper's "Bring Ya To Tha Brink". So visit www.myspace.com/dj_tim_a for that.

Stay tuned...lot's of new stuff coming!!

PEACE LOVE AND MUSIC, ALWAYS!

APOLOGIES to my listeners for the extended absence but I will be returning very soon with 80's Reinvented Vol. 4 and the Pride Mix '08 (which will include several requests from my Bobby Love's Chicago listeners).

In the mean time, here is one of my personal favorties from the past. I am going to start putting this in rotation at the bar again for the summer.

PEACE, LOVE, MUSIC and DANCING always!

I am already listening closely to the net and airwaves for the hotties and the notties so that I can get something fun and fresh posted for PRIDE '08.

Since the beginning of the year, I have been posting the usual sets of my own favorites and (of course) some of the hottest dance music in 2008. You can find these scrolling through the podcasts, or you can subscribe on I-Tunes. Otherwise, click the links below. Each of these mixes will also fit - conveniently - on an 80 minute cd:

SPRING Mix 2008:

Two of the most consistent downloads has been my FALL Mix 2007, and 80's Reivented Vol. 3. (I beleive that has been partly because Bobby Love has made sure everyone at Bally's and everywhere he has vacationed since I posted it knows just how perfect and flawless they are - of course that's the reason!)

If you would like tracklists, just scroll through. ALSO, NEVER FORGET to support the artists by purchasing their original material. Most of the original music from my sets can be found on I-Tunes, but you can also find CD's and awesome dance and club remix compilations at http://www.borderlinemusic.com.

Finally, I have a couple other plugs. YOU MUST BUY:

MADONNA - Hard Candy
The BEST party album of the year so far! OMFG HOT HOT HOT!
ROBYN - Robyn
Close runner up, just a tad eclectic, but very fun!
B52's - FunPlex
Closer runner up!
LEONA LEWIS - Spirit
Gorgeous - that is all that needs to be said!

These are all available at Borderline Music as well.

That's all for now!

love, peace, music AND dancing, ALWAYS!

OK...so I had to post this by request for my good friend Patrick Gibson, who is one of my regulars at Bobby's. I was going to wait and upload this as a previously unreleased track for 80's Reinvented Volume 4, however, my room mate overheard me making this mix and told me how much he used to love Poison.

So, Mark and Patrick, here you go!

Peace, Love and Music, always!

Back to some pure, classic CLASSic 80's...

Hall & Oates, one of the most soulful acts of the 80's, remixed for your pleasure!

This will be one of the last original mixxes I post for a while. I am working on 80's Reinvented Vol. 4, which will have a couple mixxes not previously posted - so stay tuned.

LOVE, PEACE AND MUSIC ALWAYS...

One of my favorite 80's songs...ENJOY!!

WOW!!

I guess I should celebrate a little. I was reviewing some statistics and demographics, and if I am correct, by my count, I have listeners and subscribers in over 55 countries.

That is so cool! That means there is probably a very good chance someone out there probably does not even understand a single word I type!!

Well, I hope everyone enjoys the music. That is what this site is about. I want to of course encourage all the subscribers to purchase the original music of all the artists I support here. It is very important that we all pay our 99 cents per track when the tracks are released. All the 80's songs and usually the other non-80's songs I mix are available via I-Tunes or Amazon.

Where do I get the nifty dance music? Well, about 30% does come from I-Tunes, but usually I get most of it from promos. I also get many dj mixes from Borderline Music in Chicago. Scott from Borderline is the greatest and usually has anything or can get anything I ask for. Visit him today, and you will see what I mean:

Can't get enough of yours truly? Well, add me as a friend on my space:

http://www.myspace.com/dj_tim_a

I post news, reviews, events, music stuff - all sorts of stuff. Plus, its just fun to network and meet other people from across the world. Similarly, you can join me on Facebook:

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=738763248

Another great way to network with people all over the world! And I just love Scrabulous and Knighthood, which are two of many games you can play with people online!

Anyway, I have the inside line on Madonna's new album, "HARD CANDY". I will be hosting a CD release party at Bobby Love's in Chicago on Saturday May 3, 2008 from 9 PM to 3 AM. And, just because I am a nice guy, I am posting an itty bitty preview for you.

AS ALWAYS, tell me what you think, leave a comment, join the conversation on my C-Box (scroll down on the right).

PEACE, LOVE, MUSIC - AND - Dancing, always!

Enjoy.

What have I been listening to and spinning?

Here you go:

1. Pocket Full Of Sunshine - Natasha Bedingfield
2. Breathe You In - Samantha James
3. American Boy - Estelle
4. Work - Kelly Rowland
5. Your Love - Culture Beat
6. Love Sweet Sound - Groove Armada
7. FUNPLEX - B52's
8. Who's That Girl - Robyn
9. Let Me Know - Roisin Murphy

LOVE, PEACE, AND MUSIC ALWAYS!

Dolly Parton...the sweetheart of bluegrass!

One of the most unique acts in pop and country music, one of the most accomplished songwriters ever, and definitely one of the most distinctive voices ever in the music industry. You'ld probably be suprised with a lot of the songs she has written, made popular by other artists. Well, she is out with a new album, and fresh off mentoring on American Idol!

My friend Kris M. has made several requests for pumped up country songs, and when she e-mailed me to check this one out, well, I could not resist!!!

This song is a cover of the 1990 tune "She Drives Me Crazy" from the Fine Young Canibals.

HOPE YOU ENJOY!

LOVE, PEACE, MUSIC, and DANCING...always!

The weather is finally starting to rebound here in Chicago, and it got me to thinking about what I was listening to last year at this time. So, you're getting a special re-post of last years Spring Mix!

This included several tracks that ended up being some of my favorites last year including "Minimal", "Runaway", HOT HOT HOT "I Want Cand" from Spice Girl Melanie C, "Illegal" and the live version of Madonna's "Like a Virgin".

Track List:

1. Minimal - Pet Shop Boys
2. Runaway - Jamiraquoi
3. MVP - Mary J. Blige
4. I want Candy - Melanie C.
5. You and Me - Uniting Nations
6. Read my Mind - The Killers
7. Glamorous - Fergie w/Ludacris
8. Give it to Me - Nelly Furtado/Justin Timberlake/Timbaland
9. What goes around comes Around - Justin Timberlake
10. Illegal (Shakira)
11. Like a Virgin '06 (Madonna)

New comers to the site, be sure to scroll down and catch this years Spring Mix 2008 and Summer Mix 2008! Soon I will be post My-Pod Mix Vol. 2 as well as more 80's and 90's remixes.

Fleetwood Mac is one of the greatest rock bands of all time, with one of the top selling rock albums ever, "Rumours". This cut was off one of their more distinctly pop-rock records of the 80's, "Mirage". Many of their 70's cuts eclipse the work Mac did in the 80's, but this song is a standout with its classic ringing loops, catching melody and that distinctive Nicks rasp.

This mix has been sitting on cue for a while. I was motivated to pull it back out so I could post something consistent with last weeks post from Heart. I actually was working on this mix prior to the last Stevie Nicks number I did, "Gold Dust Woman". And I am also happy to say this fulfills a request from well over a year ago. So this is a bit of a work of closure for me in many respects.

More requests are coming, and I appreciate the listeners who are being patient.

LUV PEACE AND MUSIC ALWAYS.....
