I’ve been wanting to do something with the “Bulls on Parade” instrumental for quite a long time. Rage had really nice instrumental tracks for Zach de la Rocha- which made his banter that much more powerful. In my efforts to knock down a good hip-hop refix, I chose Jay-Z “Dirt Off Your Shoulders.” The marriage seemed to work as if it was originally recorded this way. Give it a listen!

The sting of UVA rays on my chalky skin tells me that summer has finally arrived with open arms to greet us.  “Do like I do,” and pick up some of this Neutrogena SPF 85…does the body good.

There isn’t anyone on the planet that appreciates a good pool party as much as I do. BBQ, sun, water, music, girls, cocktails, rinse, repeat. Surely there has to be a “Dummies” version for organizing and pulling a summer time pool celebration for the novice host out there. If you need a few words of advice feel free to email me- I’m a pro.

Oh, and be sure to slip something green into the DJ’s pocket when requesting a couple of these summertime classics.

I woke up prematurely today- about 6:30 am, to find out there was a new track out by Diplo and Tiesto. Needless to say, it is an absolute banger. What I’m wondering, was this a strategic move by Diplo to make himself a household name? I fancy myself a fan of marketing, thus a fan of this move on the part of Diplo.

About the track: Signature Tiesto “big room” sounds- signature Diplo ticks and tocks. The track sounds as if they did it in an afternoon- a fairly standard formula with no surprises for the most part. I felt it was missing a little something- so I reworked the track with Biggie’s classic “Goin’ Back to Cali.” Peep it…

Though I have never been to Coachella- 2011 will be different. I am making a vow to purchase my tickets the moment they hit the market. Perhaps I have been reluctant to visit the music festival that has reached legendary status for a personal reason or two. Next April, I feel Coachella is going to be more exciting than ever. Would you like to know why?

Well, please allow me to provide you with my Coachella predictions. Taking the stage together will be Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg, the reunion of 808 State, and The Talking Heads. Whoever needs to see this wishlist- open your eyes. The people have spoken…

Nothing says summer time like “I Get Around” by 2pac…but it’s February. Well, I’ve clearly got BBQ season on the brain, so let’s get to planning the perfect summer pool party.
