dj Tim A — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 02:26:13 GMT

HOWDY LISTENERS! IT IS TIME, AGAIN, TO 'DANCE WITH MY BABY'! I am getting ready for a weekend of Madonna with friends (and even family...yes...my mom is coming to see Madge). She is hitting the stage in October and we are planning to have a "Dirty" and "Sticky" weekend here in Chicago. First, we are planning on seeing "Dirty Dancing" on stage (SUPRISE MOM). Then I am hitting both Madge shows, Sunday and Monday. Can't wait. Anyway, I hope to have a string of posts for you this week. And since I am warming up to see Madge, she is leading it off!! "INTO tha MUSIC", Madonna vs. Cyndi Lauper, incorporates Lauper's 'Into The Nightlife' and Madonna's 'Music'. I had a lot of fun putting this one together, so I hope you all enjoy it. Stay tuned this week as I am planning to put together "My-Pod Vol. 4" as well as another 80's mix. LOVE PEACE AND MUSIC, ALWAYS! ...dj Tim a

SAY YOU LOVE ME (dj Tim a Cascaded Club Mix)

dj Tim A — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 22:32:56 GMT

YET another request. Fleetwood Mac, another group of artists more critically acclaimed for their work in the 70's - even the 60's. Of course, any fan of rock music who does not own the album 'Rumours' is insane and most certainly not a legitimate fan of rock music. Track for track a complete work of rock genius and lyrical magic. Their music became less genius and less rock into the 80's. Their lyrics became more adult contemporary and the music more bubble gum and less interesting. Less relevant. Nonetheless, classic rock. They peaked again in the 90's with 'The Dance', putting together a set of their classics live, and making it sound as genius as they did in the 70's. IRONICALLY, one of my favorite FMac albums is the 80's 'Tango In The Night'. If you scroll through my archive, you'll find "Seven Wonders" and "Little Lies" which are tracks from that album. For newbies to FMac, you'll find the original "Say You Love Me" track is from their 1975 self titled effort, which also has one of my favorites, "Rhiannon". I chose this song from several of the requests I have gotten (including that one) for FMac because it is very different - definitely not the typical club 'mixable' track. I have also done a ton of anthems lately and wanted to do a track that some of my listeners might not have heard before. Regular listeners, in the future you can expect more FMac...feel free to continue e-mailing your suggestions. luv, peace and music...into eternity!! dj Tim a

DANCE 2NITE! (pride 08 mix)

dj Tim A — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 14:51:00 GMT

REVISED 08/30/08 EEEENUFFF!!! I have gotten a thousand requests to post this mix from the "MY-POD MIX Vol. 3", for this Madge and JT remix from the Hard Candy album. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this remix of "Dance 2Nite". It smokes!!! THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I have done a post like this - I got this track surfing, and so far as I know it is a dj only promo. It does not look like this will be released, so I do not have a problem putting it up. I will have to take it down in her highnesses people tell me to though. I INSIST that if you enjoy this and download it, you must get the album. You can order through I-Tunes or Amazon. Or you can order from my favorite, BORDERLINE MUSIC: www.borderlinemusic.com I also recommend the remixes of "Give It 2 Me". The professional remixes from her past several albums have been flat and lacking hook. FINALLY, we have some mixes that 'catch me on the floor'. LOVE PEACE MUSIC - and definitely in this case - DANCING, always! ...dj Tim a

every breath U take (Dj Tim A Club Mix)

dj Tim A — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 07:13:27 GMT

Sting and The Police are just as classic 80's as Rubix Cube. As I said before, in some of my earliest postings over two years ago, I do not try to mess with ultra classic anthems. But I had one of those rare nostalgic moments when I was spinning at a party this month - a party I do every year - and they love oldies. Someone requested this song and it's been stuck in my head ever since. The original is balladish - but with somewhat of a decent tempo. IT TOOK A TON - I MEAN HOURS AND HOURS of very detailed editting. Hopefully I didn't trample the original. Hopefully it just catches you, and you can enjoy it reinterpreted for the dance floor. love, peace and music, always... dj Tim a

CHINA GIRL! (Dj Tim A Club Mix)

dj Tim A — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 00:40:30 GMT

David Bowie was one of the most pivotal artists of the seventies, being among the first to add in your face sex and drugs to the rock and roll. While his work in that era was perhaps his most artistically relevant and critically acclaimed, its his foray into the disco pop bubble of the eighties that I update here. If you have a chance, I recommend you YOUTUBE the "China Girl" video. CLASSIC! luv, peace, and music - always! dj Tim A

dj Tim A — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 13:29:37 GMT

(THIS POSTING HAS BEEN UPDATED TO CORRECT AUDIO ERRORS) Summer break is almost over. I am back on the mixxing bank and should be pumping out some new mixes for you over the next several weeks. I hope you all have enjoyed the Pride Mixxes. I've gotten a lot of positive feedback - and it appears from the statistics they are being played almost non-stop! This summer I made it into the top 100 podcasts for the first time, which is awesome. THANKS!!! This track is an early 90's hit from Roxette, and a request (by multiple listeners) from almost two years ago. I debuted it last week at Bobby's and it sounded hot! Enjoy! Love, peace, music and dancing - always!

MIDNIGHT BLUE! (dj Tim a Dirty 80's Mix)

dj Tim A — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 14:07:53 GMT

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... ...dj Tim a

If You Leave Me Now (Dj Tim A's Electronic Mix)

dj Tim A — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 18:40:34 GMT

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! ...dj Tim a
