Hey everyone! Well…I’m in the midst of celebrating my birthday week. This Friday (May 23rd) I’ll be happy to say that I’ve gotten to see another year. And some of you know that when I turned 30, I had decided to do something fun & different every year to celebrate my birthday. I’ve thrown a party & was the 1st to bring DJ Jamad to Nashville…relaxed in Nassau, Bahamas…had Lasik eye surgery…& bought DJ gear to name a few. So I have to say…I think I do treat mysef well from time to time

Well…this year I’m flipping the script a bit..& doing both something fun & something healthy:

Hot Yoga Nashville

¤ Earlier this month, I finally gave in to my curiousity & need to get my health under control. So I decided to try out hot (Bikram) yoga…and all I got to say is that it’s definitely no joke. Being a former athlete, I can say that I’ve never had a workout like this. Probably because it thoroughly works the full body & isn’t as stressful on the body. And the heat does help with relaxing the muscles & of course get you that lovely sweat so many of us shoot for. Besides the health benefits, it’s teaching me patience & concentration. I’ve enjoyed it so much that I’ve signed up for a year of classes…so will be reporting back on my progress as a new yogi soon.

¤ So you know that I play hard when I do…& 1st off, I will be playing host for The Red Sessions @ The Place tonight (May 22nd)…covering for Devine…I’m not spinning…but I get to act like I’m runnin’ things for a night

Also, peep the article from the City Paper earlier this week:

The Music Biz: Jump-starting dance music here gets some Devine intervention

¤ Then it’s off to Atlanta….and here’s the game plan for Saturday:

(1) The Atlanta Jazz Festival on Saturday, May 24th…making sure to catch Heather Johnson’s performance (one of the vocalists for Ananda Project)

(2) Next will swing by U*Space Gallery for ArtLab to check out The Wayne Fishell Experiment. Also doing so because I’m slated to do an “experiment” there some time this summer…so stay tuned for more on that

(3) And lastly on Saturday…I get to experience Soul Funktion finally…so get to hang with DJ Offbeat & Mike Zarin…& see what this Boddhi Satva guy’s all about And for those in the Memphis area…be on the look out for Soul Funktion Memphis on June 28th…more info to follow

Whew…& it’s not over

¤ Sunday I’ll be spinning with J-Finesse during an in store DJ set @ one of my favorite music shops, Moods Music in Little Five Points (1131 Euclid, 30307). Darryl’s going to let us spin a few tunes from 2ish to 7ish…& I think it’s fitting for me to spin in ATL for the 1st time in a store that has significantly shaped my listening habits over the years. So…you want to know where I shop…come on out & hang for a bit. And oh yeah…just got word today that J Rawls will be in town & he’ll be stopping through around 3 pm. So should be a wonderful afternoon of music & good vibes

¤ And to wrap it up on Monday, will be back in Nashville to spin @ Mama’s House @ Mad Donna’s in East Nashville (1313 Woodland St., 37206). So will join Mama Jude, Jane Dupree, & Sam-Me for a night of house music, from 10 pm until close. Ah yeah… Definitely check out this new restaurant & bar.

So…think that’s it…if anything catches your attention, definitely check it out…& if you need furthery info, please let me know.

Well, time for me to rest…I’ve got a lot ahead of me in the coming days. Hope to see some of you out & about.

Until next time…y’all be easy…

A special request…something a little jazzy for one of my faithful fans…happy (belated) birthday Arwen. Also today is the birthday of one of my best friends, Stephanie & my soror, Morgan Rhodes of KCRW…hope this is an acceptable substitute for a birthday card.

And much love to all my other Aquarians out there

So….Erykah Badu’s new album, New AmErykah, Pt. One: 4th World War, drops on 2/26 (yay!)

Now…I love the cover artwork, but what really caught my attention was the dope & deep artwork for the single, “The Healer”…all I got to say is that I NEED this as a t-shirt
