They say that 41 is the new 31. I don't know about all that, but I do know it's my birthday today. Before I start talking about something else other than music, let's drop the Old School Wednesday given to us by Mr. G-Force and Yvonne, cause they're SO good at it.

I'm grateful to G-Force and Yvonne for subscribing goodness this time around, particularly with Jesse Johnson, Alex O' Neal, and especially songs from Keni Burke and Bobby Thurston - two tracks that I had never heard before. As you can tell, they are a formidable duo. Suffice it to say, you will be hearing more from them. Believe that.
I have yet to get the actual count right of how many OSWs have actually been done here, but the count is somewhere around 194. Back in the day, the OSWs were a creation of the one and only, KB. I did a couple from his suggestion, then a couple became 5, and then he passed the torch to me. I still can't tell you to this day why I haven't just stopped doing it. Masochism? Craziness? Probably a little, but mostly because of the love I have for music. KB helped me expand that vibe, and to that I'm very grateful for it. But what's even better are the people that helped me with this with their comments and emails, including Ms. Alex, Thierno, Wayne, VPayne, Qamar, James Madison, GrantLove...and the list goes on and on. (By any means, if your name was left out, it's not because of lack of love- more than likely lack of memory...definitely let me know.
During OSWs, since I had so much time on my hands, I also did radio-blogs of songs I liked - no matter how different they were. The count of those is around 65 with no signs of slowing down. Podcasting was an offshoot of that, beginning without vocals, and then when I discovered that people actually vibe to someone whose vocals are reminiscient Mickey Mouse except in an MP3 format, I kept on doin' it, getting slightly better each time. If it weren't for the bloggers Honey, Lis, Todd Kelley, Nikki, and TGrundy, I would have given up a long time ago.
...but here I am, still doing them, which of course begs the question is, "whatever happened to that thing called blogging?" Well, things combined with my weekly podcasting like Friendfeed, Twitter, and Plurk to name a few, I haven't felt the need to blog about anything. I'm going to attempt to change that because when all is said and done, I still do miss what blogging used to be back in the day. In fact, I'll start this by breaking the ice - let's get to know EJ a little better. If you have questions about me, post the question here or email me directly at ejflavors at gmail.com and I'll be sure to answer them. I'll also try to give you a little more insight into my life, which isn't a whirlwind, but more like a steady stream with a big rock here and there. So there you go. Give up a happy birthday to ya boy.
And now back to our regularly scheduled programming. You won't hear my voice much in the podcast, because of time constraints, but I'll be back next week, definitely. Thanks to G-Force and Yvonne for mixin' it up quite nicely. For those who'd like to subscribe to these podcasts, enter this link manually into iTunes.

Thanks to Mr. Jeff Hinz and Theresa, I think we've got some good stuff here:

I would also be remiss in mentioning the supreme ears of Jeff Hinz (check out his Friday Night Dance Party) for Skipworth & Turner and Loose Ends, and Theresa for the Debra Laws track, All The Things I Love, which I had never heard before.
