1974 - Ella Fitzgerald - It Don't Mean a thing


Ella Fitzgerald brilliant voice does again!! And I love music lesson while she record a track. Cause music doesn't matter when it doesn't have any swing! This track is a lesson for all musicians. It doesn't matter what your genre of music you love producing; making it for your self first. Do you love the track you just completed? Do you love every lyric, every beat, every melody? If you don't!?! "It don't mean a thing"

What makes Music "Mainstream" or "Pop Music"?

So what does makes music mainstream? In my head Mainstream is the music that gets the most radio play, gets the most videos played on MTV/Muchmusic (yeah if they played videos anymore), and with the most record sales. I have always wondered why does the musicians the most talent and the most passion for their music does not always get the major labels trying to sign them on.  But the musicians who making it mainstream are not the most talented but they some most beautiful people on the planet. It kinda saddens me that the music industry always look for beauty over talent.  Alberta Hunter a wonderful jazz singer from the golden age of jazz; she not a looker but when she sings her beauty shows.  With her witty personality I couldn't help but listen.  At 83 when she did this come back concert(video below).  She blew me away!! I wish I had been existent when all the great music being created.

My thoughts on the train

Unknowing what it has done/kept it contained under the heartache of my shattered downbeat/ aching heart of my whole self takes over the lucid beast/ releasing the murder of crows that tries to take me to my next life/only to return me to my broken self/lessons never learned/lessons never taught/seeming to be Lost in an a thought.......
As I fall from grace I see my beast following me/lost in eyes of glass/ unknown reasons repeats a wirlwind of broken promise/ as thoughts spin vigorously in my head/ the bellowing whispers of the caged beast calling me for more/ begging me to set him free/ howling and laughing at me/ trying to break me down/ adrenelin pumping through my veins/ confusing my soul into hiding/making me feel soulless and corrupted/ I fight to keep my soul in my hands/ until woken up by my lucid self I will it free
Being woken up by my lucid self today/ feeling Overwelmed by a breath of a downbeating heart/ being held tightly only to listen to the whispering bellow of your smiling eyes/ Being haunted by the presents of warmth of your soul/ it's consuming the bitter coldness left behind by a shattering heart/ possesed by seeing my lucid self laugh like a child with his favorite toy/ being lost in thoughts of how to find you/ it's a seeming condradiction/ It's not- it's just complicated/

Obadiah Parker - Hey Ya Cover



WoW! This is a great cover!!

Thoughts on the Train : Dominic Pierce ~Wolf~


As I look at the world from under the bill of my hat life's obscurities takes a right as mine turns left. Unpredictable as always!  My right turn takes me into the belly of the what life's has created for me! A misunderstood beast of man. Savage and emotional. Blinded by the hunger for love.  And never getting love. Never understood why? This beast of a man lives only to love. One rule. One dimension. Suffocation is the downfall of a battle well fought. I crawled out just barely alive. Weak and unhealthy. Didn't care if I lived or died. Just wanted to crawl out to see what was next. Life's obcurties is what pulled me out. Seeing that it went left, as I turned right. Adrenalin pumped confusion takes over my body and soul; clouding my judgement; Not seeing what's in front of me. I fall to my knees with tears in my eyes.

My weekend with the Hypeatitis DJs

My weekend with the Hypeatitis DJs
Dec 17
My weekend started of at the Metropalitan Grill Mount Royal helping out DJ Markoshi with setting up the equipment for the the night!! This weekend wasn't so busy due to being the weekend before Christmas. But anyways it was still bumpin' concidering. Markoshi Drops the first track excitement runs through my body knowing that my Friday night gonna be fun!!  Or it might of been a stomach ache!! But I couldn't tell at the time. Regardless of my stomace ache there was a party! And the party Must go on! And again there was another '21st birthday' partying in the section VIP section. Which is located right behind DJ Markoshi's booth (in my opinion this is the best spot to party when you are at the met).
As I was heading to he bar DJ Chanks rolled in and jumped on the tables to start his set. It was my first time listen and to watch him spin his beats. I was talking to Chaks before he started and his philosophy on music was very inspiring. He said and I quoute 'Music is a from of poetry that all people share as a whole. And it doesn't matter who you are music with be a big part your life!' DJ Chaks brings his unique technical style to The Metropolitan Grill. His track selection ranges from Bollywood dance music to the top 40 from of North America. DJ Chanks keep It rockin' it!
On Saturday Dec 18 it was DJ Markoshi first night At The Public Social House. It started with us eating a wonderful dinner and a bottle of wine. After dinner we set up the equipment Markoshi starts playing as I sat there watching. I Love his interaction with all he patrons of The PHS. With all the high five and the requests taken. He seems to want to make sure everyone has a fun night!! At one point of the night he had people dancing out side!! DJ Markoshi is one of the most fun DJs I have ever partied with!! If you ever get a chance to party with him DO IT!!

My Weekend With the Hypeatitis DJs Dec 3-4 2010

Dj King and DJ Markoshi
Friday December 3, 2010 a start of the weekend and the start of a new era for the Hypeatitis DJs. As we sat for a couple of drinks while they spun their favorite beats for the dinner rush at the Metropolitan Grill.
They had announced that they are adding a new addition to their roster DJ Chanx and he will be The Met on Stephen Avenue.
 DJ King he will be moving his resident to Saturdays  at the PUBLIC SOCIAL HOUSE 1137 17th Ave SW. The grand opening of this beautiful contempory lounge.
 As for DJ Markoshi he will be still be rocking the Mount Royal Metropolitan Grill Thursdays to Saturdays. Expect more of my crazy weekend adventures here!
Well when I heard this news I was thinking on how can I be at all three places at once? I'll figure something out!
After a couple of pints they wanted to start setting up for the nights Christmas partys! As DJ  Markoshi drops the track I  felt really Hyped up and wanted to dance with every beautiful women within a arms length away from me. Flirt with all the married women that their husbands didn't want to dance.  I'm not trying to be a homewrecker I just want EVERYBODY to have soo much fun that they look back  and say 'that they still have it!'. Anyway that's not important. I was there to party and so was Ms. Bev! Ms. Bev was wanting to dance but her party was alittle slower to warm up to the music. So I invited her to the dance floor! We danced the night away!! After we both got tired we sat and chatted for a bit. Ms. Bev is such a wonderful fun woman! And I hope she and her party had as much fun as I did!
December 4, 2010
DJ KING & THE PUBLIC SOCIAL HOUSE
1137 17th Ave SW Calgary AB Canada
This was the first night open for the Social House and it's staff. I had arrived at around 9ish. As I walked in I was greeted by a host with a wonderful smile. I told her I was here to see DJ King. She had told me that he hadn't arrived yet. So I ordered a pint. As I sat at the bar I realized that the bartender was an old buddy of mine! Mr. Miller I was great to see you again!! Upon the arrival of DJ King  we set up on the other side where they serve 80 different types of vodka. The first beat drops for the low key crowd. I look around i noticed every ones head was bobbing their head. Smiles on very ones face. I can tell every one is enjoying. As the night progressed I the bartender wanted to experiment with all of the vodkas. I was like a kid in a candy store! Some of my Faves were the Tropical Punch, Root beer Float and the Black Forest Cake.  As we were chilling with the bartenders watching the free UFC fight on Spike. The beautiful Lady Michelle Dances her way into the room! The energy she brings to the room is remarkable! Laughter and fun always follows her where ever she is around.
So around Midnight DJ King wanted a little break so his little sister DJ Pompa took over. So we went to go visit DJ Markoshi and DJ Chanx at the Mount Royal Metropolitan Grill and Wow was it bumpin' with a packed house for DJ Markoshi and DJ Chanx.  With the energy so high at The Met I couldn't help but stay for a drink. But we had to head back.
I hope everyone had a great time and King, Markoshi and Chanx I'll be seeing you guys next week!!!

My weekends with the THE HYPEATITIS DJS ~Saturday November 27, 2010~

 THE HYPEATITIS DJS ~DJ KING AND MARKOSHI~
As I walk through the doors of The Metropolitan Grill on the cool November Saturday to see what was going at The metropolitan grill with the Hypeatitis DJs?   I was greeted by a beautiful smile that asked if I needed to seated. Since I was hear to see the DJs I said I was alright  as she had pointed me to them. I had seen DJ King first, looking a little stressed out because he had just started to set up his equipment and people were started to roll in. So I offered to help.
As we finished we realized that it was a packed house at 10:30! Thinking to myself 'This is gonna be nutty night! Look at all of these people waiting to party!'. DJ KING drops the first beat of the first track of his set. The dance floor fills instantly!  A crazy energy in the room as my mellow mood gets all hyped up ready to take on the night's party people. As I order my first pint of the night I start feeling the crowd and started to come out of my shell a bit. Without realizing it my head has started to bob to the beats laid out by DJ KING.
As the night progressed and a few pints  later I am starting noticed my self being flirty  and rambunctious (it maybe the alcohol). So I started chatting  with people just finding out what their story etc etc. As I was doing my rounds of making a complete ass out of my self I was called over to "Hot Donna's 21st" birthday party. Which was just located directly behind the DJs.
At this point DJ Markoshi rolls in Fashionably late after making a Guest Appearance at a prior engagement. As he sees me he rolls his eyes knowing what I've been doing! He was up next to Hype up the crowed. He drops bass the crowd filled  the dance floor packed to capacity!
As I keep on chatting to "Hot Donna" and her party I find out that they are a group of friend from all over western Alberta that travels together. As i get to know them individually I find out that one of them is from a Sylvan lake  Alberta, Canada. I was telling her that I had a niece that our family had lost contact with due to choices that were made for the best for her. As we talked more she told me that she thinks she knows her. She gave me her name her mother. And that floored me that she was totally right! (I'm not gonna give their names just to protect who they are.) I was told she had the best of what life offered her and lived a happy life.  And that had made me very happy to hear that! I couldn't help but smile and be cheerful for the rest of the night!
So dear niece if you ever end up reading this we are always are thinking about you and we always <3 ya!
And to the Birthday Girl Hot Donna and her friends I hope you all had a great time!
DJ KING and DJ Markoshi I'll be seeing you both next week!!!
