Song of the Day - Let Me Think About It - Ida Corr vs. Fedde Le Grand

Today's song is probably my all time favorite dance tune. I remember hearing it in the clubs a couple of years ago and not knowing what the heck they were saying. I tried looking for it to no avail, but then one day I downloaded an app called Shazam on my iPhone. Shazam is the coolest app!!!! It listens to 30 seconds of a song and then tells you what it is, and this was the very first song I "shazammed" and then bought for myself.

"Let Me Think About It" has an unmistakable track that I can always identify from the first notes being mixed into the previous song and before it starts full force. Quite simply it's a song I cannot resist the urge to dance to and boy do I love to get down to it! So press play, step back from your pc, and dance!





Here's an article I wrote on Shazam:

July 4th, 2011 - Happy 4th; Una Fiesta; Cherry Grove

Happy 4th of July everybody! It’s a gorgeous day outside and here I still sit in my pj’s at almost 2 o’clock in the afternoon typing away. I’ve got some holiday festivities going on later so I will get out of here eventually. It’s been a great weekend so far and at the moment I’m loving life…I hope you are, too!

Una Fiesta

On Saturday night I was invited to a graduation/birthday party for one of my longtime students, Jaqi. I’m always a little apprehensive about socializing with my students and their families, but she practically begged me to come and so I did. Going to parties hosted by Latin American peoples definitely has its quirks, which I found out on Saturday.

Once I began telling the tale, I realized it would make a great article, so I published it on Y!CN. Check it out right here.

It was fun and since I only posted one photo on the Y!CN article, I'm going to share some more here:






4th (or more like 3rd!) at The Grove

Yesterday was the big day at Cherry Grove, which was more or less a blast. There's a lot more to the story of yesterday than I have time for here, so I'll save that for next time. In the meantime, have a safe, healthy and happy holiday and enjoy this Spanish language song by Ricky Martin. It's one of my favorites, "Lola, Lola."

Song of the Day - America - Neil Diamond

I already knew the song I'd be featuring for today, the 4th of July. It is hands down my favorite patriotic song because it's got such a thumping rhythm and great vocals and it make me feel all tingly inside whenever I hear it, lol. When I was with Joe, I used to deejay a 4th of July party for one of the extended members of his family every year and I'd always play this a couple of times for my ex "brother in law" Richie. He's the one person I know that loves this song even more than me. In a lot of ways I miss those times, but that was in another life! So Big Rich, wherever you are, this one's for you! Happy 4th of July everyone!

Beyonce Spotlight - "I Care"

Earlier this week Miss Bey put out her latest effort, her fourth full-length studio album, appropriately entitled "4." The album is much different from what Beyonce's fans are used to, and it's awesome! One of my early favorites is a song called "I Care." The tune is powerful and melodic and in a small way I can identify with its meaning. Of course there's no video for the song, but this dude named Myke Rosas on Twitvid put this piece together. Thanks to him you can take a listen and enjoy!






I Care

I told you how your hurt me, baby
But you don't care
Now I'm crying and deserted, baby
But you don't care
Ain't nobody tell this is love
But you're inmune to all my pain
I need you to tell me this is love
You don't care if that's okay

Well, I care
I know you don't care too much
But I still care, la la la la
Oh, I care
I know you don't care too much
But I still care, la la la la

Ever since you knew your power
You made my cry
And now everytime our love goes sour
You won't sympathize
You see these tears falling down to my ears
I swear you like when I'm in pain
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/b/beyonce-lyrics/i-care-lyrics.html ]

I try to tell you all my fears
You still don't care? That's okay

Well, I care
I know you don't care too much
But I still care, la la la la
Oh, I care
I know you don't care too much
But I still care, la la la la

Boy, maybe if you care enough
I wouldn't have to care so much
What happened to our trust?
Now you just given up
You used to be so in love
Now you don't care no more

Well, I care
I know you don't care too much
But I still care, la la la la
Oh, I care
I know you don't care too much
But I still care, la la la la
