I felt something impossible for me to explain in words. Then, when they took her away, it hit me. I got scared all over again and began to feel giddy. Then it came to me… I was a father. ~Nat King Cole

So Sunday is Father's Day and I thought what better way to celebrate than with a list of the 'Hottest Dads In Music'...a totally self-serving list I realize but it works for me and I'm OK with it.

So if I left anyone out...feel free to leave your hot dad choices!

NKOTBSB

My Second Chance at Trying to Meet Donnie Wahlberg

So today is the day.

I am off to Montreal with my sister, cousins and brother's girlfriend to go see NKOTBSB in concert.



And cue screams of delight.

The 18-year old girl in me is very, very excited. She's making me go to this concert. Forcing me really. The 18-year old girl in me gets all full of serious attitude and becomes unbearably bitchy when she doesn't get her way.

Stylusboy Spotlight

Charming, Sweet and Poppy

The Last Day of Summer

The Perfect Chilled Out Track for Summer Nights

The Last Day Of Summer is the newest single off Sweden's Johan Agebjörn's latest album, Casablanca Nights.

The video depicts the Queen of Hearts in a top notch array of high end posh couture. Some of the outfits (like the bridal headpiece) would have one Lady Gaga swooning.

It's that perfect chilled out, breezy track for those summer nights, that you wished would last forever.

DJ Spin and DJ Deedle

Mixing Music With The Best

I often sing the praises of DJs...how they can seamlessly connect layers of music in one constant flow, as they create and maintain the mood and energy of the crowd and listeners they are out to entertain.

Bottom line they have mad skillz and I wish I possessed that talent. But for the record, I did kick some ass at the whole creating a mixed tape thing....I was lightening fast at that record stop, pause technique on my Sharp Dual AM/FM Cassette Player Boombox. Word.
