An Afterthought

Opinions are like ass-holes. Everyone has one and they all stink.

That's something I should remember when trying to voice my opinion over the air I think... But then again... That's what opinions are for... They're for others to listen to and give their opinions back. We all have one on most subjects and we can either choose to voice them or to keep them quiet.

I choose to voice mine.

Last night was another juicy episode of the Sunday Drunx Show... Chilling was the amount of feedback I received from this very show alone. We have more and more listeners every week and we won't be stopping here.

Last night we brought up a touchy subject, which I will not bring up here, because I'm not going to voice my opinion on this blog... I already did last night. The subject received an interesting reaction, as I anticipated. I wanted a reaction. I wanted some people to be shaken by this subject. Not anyone in particular... Just "people" in general. That's exactly what happened.

Now afterwards, some people have taken what I say on the radio personally, and that's where this after thought comes in.

I will say a lot of things, and as a radio personality, I will not only voice my opinion, but I am open to hear other's opinion on my show because I believe in fairness. I voiced all the comments from listeners, I put on the callers, I let the other guests speak. Everyone got their chance. But everyone has an opinion... So we have to remember that it may differ from ours, but that doesn't make it any less important. But the biggest thing that I want to stress to all of the listeners of DancePhoenix: Do not take anything personally. My opinions are not directed towards any single person. I will generalize, I will change names, I will protect the innocent... But above all I do NOT speak for every opinion. There may in fact be something that could be lost in the conversation. There may be something that I missed....

If that happens - tell us. I want to know all the angles and I will put it on the air. I am here for all of you, the listeners... And I want you all sticking around.

With that being said... I liked what happened yesterday. While I'm sure there's a few people out there that hate me now, they still listened even after the show moved on. Personally - I don't care whether you like what I or my co-hosts say or not. If you don't like it, I'll say it again - tell us. We're open to hear you... Just like I was last night.

Last night was awesome. I do not have any regrets, nor will I look back. I will continue to drive forward and I will definitely continue to find things to talk about that will give a crowd reaction. I got chills last night when this subject went the direction it did... And I think this Radio Personality and DJ thing is it for me.

So, a couple things - first, if you missed the show, you'll be able to hear it Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday this week, replayed twice from 2pm PST to 8pm PST... er... Whenever its over... But take a listen to hear what you missed. Second, tune in next week for another show - no holes barred we will say it all uncensored, Sunday, 6pm PST to whenever we feel like stopping.

Have a day.

Please hold...

What a busy week! With my roommate's staggaring announcement on the Sunday Drunx Show last weekend, it put a big damper on our party lifestyle. Not to mention, I have a garage sale this weekend, two websites to work on, and a radio station to run - I almost completely forgot about the hits of the week! So around Wednesday... cause I had NOTHING in mind... I made an announcement for all of YOU to send me your favorites...

... I recieved a HUGE response, with some GREAT song suggestions out there. Some suggestions were songs I had already used in previous HOT Week's, which made me feel good because I was doing something right... but over 35 people responded to my request.

SO - with this overly large response I felt I needed some more time. The Hits of the Week Volume 7 will be released on Sunday, July 30th. If you want to hear if YOUR pick made it, you'll have to tune in to the Sunday Drunx Show at 6pm PST this weekend to hear them, I will post the list after the show. This is your list, people! This wasn't me thinking up crap at all this was all based on your suggestions... so don't forget to tune in on Sunday night for the results!!

H.O.T. Week, Vol. 6

Yo yo yo! Couple things first...

I am SO FUCKING STOKED for some things coming up. First, there's this Sunday... The Sunday Drunx show (or hangover show) is going to be all new and off the HOOK! I wanna welcome DJ Elastik to the studio for a hot guest mix, as well as the girls from Fat Tuesday, and some other special guests - a PACKED show so tune in!!!!! Second, Labor day, this year, just over a month away I'm headed (99% sure) to Chi town! That's right, JPhoenix will be kickin' it in Chicago for the weekend! The show that weekend will either be cancelled - or run by my asteemed sidekicks, CoolStylz and K.I.D the DJ... check back for that one.

Next, last week, if you listened to the show you may have heard that I made a change to the Hits of the Week. I removed Matisyahu and added Warren G/Nate Dogg - Regulate. That was supposed to be in the HOTWeek long before Matisyahu was added, and I forgot - so that was my mistake. But that was last week - here's this weeks Hits of the Week:

1. Suzanne Vega - Tom's Diner
2. Biz Markie - Just a Friend
3. Big Pun - I'm not a Player
4. Craig Mack - Flava in Ya Ear
5. Shaggy - It wasn't me
6. Lil' Kim - How Many Licks
7. Missy Elliot - I can't stand the Rain
8. Busta Rhymes Ft. Rick James - In the Ghetto
9. Snoop Dogg Ft. J Timberlake - Signs
10. Paul Oakenfold - Starry Eyed Surprise

Thanks to K.I.D for the Busta addition, and my boss at my day job for singing "just a friend" yesterday, which I heard and just HAD to put it on the list!

Don't forget my people, DancePhoenix on Live365.com - this Sunday will be another awesome episode of the Drunx Show at 6pm PST so don't miss it!!

Holla!

H.O.T. Week, Vol. 5

Watch out, I'm a little hungover and so loud noises may bother me.

I went out last night, despite my better judgement, to the Sandbar in Scottsdale. DJ Adrian, or Coolstylz, or C-Stylz, or whatever he is this week is now a resident there so K.I.D and I went to go hang. The place was empty. About 12:30 it was basically the three of us inside with the bartenders, and about two handfuls of dudes outside. So, I decided since I wasn't driving to just keep the beers coming. There's my bad judgement...

So since I have a headache and I'm waiting for my excedrin extra strength to kick in, let's do the Hits of the Week, Volume 5:

1. Pilot - It's Magic (Oh, Oh)
2. The Romantics - Talking in Your Sleep
3. Arrested Development - Tennessee
4. Will Smith - Summertime
5. Blackstreet Ft. Dr. Dre - No Diggity
6. Genuine - Ride My Pony
7. Faith Evans - Love Like This
8. Gnarls Barkley - Crazy
9. Matisyahu - King without a Crown
10. Fall Out Boy - Dance, Dance

Thanks for the input durning the week, some great tracks here. My favorite has to be that Gnarls Barkley song - K.I.D reminded me of it last night and I gotta say, it's pretty catchy. I'm waiting for a remix that we could lay down at the clubs. As always, you can here these tracks this coming Sunday night - only on DancePhoenix - on the Sunday Drunx Show. We'll be broadcasting in the new home studio in Scottsdale, right in the heart of all the Phoenix nightlife! So tune in 6pm PST for the Sunday Drunx Show!

That's it for me, until next time...

Lata.

H.O.T. Week, Vol. 4

OK, so I am well aware that the HOTW's last Friday were weak, so today I promise to redeem myself. That's right music fans - it's Friday again, time for the Hits Of The Week. This one is a good one, arguebly one of my favorites so far. Can you believe we're already into our second month of this?

Before I make the announcement of the top ten in no particular order, I wanted to say thanks to the loyal DancePhoenix listeners out there... there's not many of you, but you keep the music rolling and now with the addition of 3 DJs Productions - our playlists will only get better and better.

July 4th DancePhoenix broadcasted a special show at the home studio, we had a barbecue - complete with 3 DJs Productions in the mix. I started things off with a little deep house, then we moved in with K.I.D the DJ mixing up your favorite old school tracks. Coolstylz busted in halfway through the night and he and I traded places everytime he got to house. Overall, one of our best shows so far. If you missed it - keep an ear out for more 3 DJs Productions so you won't next time.

OK, don't forget these songs will be played along with the reasoning behind my choices only on the Sunday Drunx Show, this and EVERY Sunday, on DancePhoenix on Live365.com.

The Hits of the Week, Volume 4
in no particular order...

1. How's Your Whole Family - Red Peters
2. Cantaloop - US3
3. Groove is in the Heart - Dee Lite
4. Keep on Movin' - Soul II Soul
5. Ribbons in the Sky - Stevie Wonder
6. Here Comes the Hot Stepper - Kamoze Ini
7. Informer - Snow
8. What's your Fantasy - Ludacris
9. I'll be Good - Foxxy Brown Ft. Jay-Z
10. Love on my Mind - Freemasons Ft. Amanda

I wanted to add one more, in honor of Paul Oakenfold coming to town tonight, but i'll wait until next week I think. I could probably replace #1 with that, since that's just a silly song I threw in there, but - ah, who cares...

So there ya go, another week down and with this weekend we're officially halfway through the year! Tune in this weekend for the Sunday Drunx Show with me, K.I.D and Coolstylz in the studio.

Holla!
