NiteLite Re(up)loaded

A note to all the audiophiles; After a few listens, the compressed master of my Anniversary mix was a little bright and harsh on the high end for me so I've re-upped the original recording for anyone who wants a replacement. I know, ...I'm a freak. Anyways... click the pic to play or download the set HERE (right click and 'save as').

NiteLite returns on June 21st.

Utah Pride June 6th, 7th & 8th

Salt Lake's Gay Pride is coming up on June 6th, 7th & 8th. It's one of the few reasons we have to drink during the day. Come see the arts and crafts of my people! More info at UtahPride.org.

Jim Scott Matheson statue inside the Courthouse by my work is a tad on the spooky side. I'm yet to put my finger on why Salt Lake loves it's bronze statues.

The Weekly's Stephen Dark helps clear the smoke swirling around a falling out between local salon founder Matthew Landis of Landis Salon, fashion designer Jared Gold and financier Richard Surber of Nexia Holdings which controls his Black Chandelier brand.

Sisterhood Of The Traveling Genes

The Genographic Project is a DNA human history study funded by National Geographic Society, The Wiatt Family Foundation and IBM. Me and my signif other recently got the testing kit in the mail that allows every day people to plug into the findings and discover where their ancestors hail from. Ancestors as in 150,000 years ago - back to 'Mother Africa' ancestors. Geneticist Spencer Wells started the project in 1996 by sampling pure DNA from isolated cultures and tribes around the globe and using them to "chart the ancient human migrations from Africa across the continents." For those of us with Mormon backgrounds, where genealogy is a really big deal, this should definitely take the cake... assuming you believe in science, DNA and that the world is older than 2000 years old.

Deeper Shades In SLC

I would like to thank Lars Behrenroth from Deeper Shades of House for being our guest at NiteLite last Saturday as well our amazing crew bringing the force. Lars read the crowd with amazing dexterity, played a variety of sounds and kept us with our hands in the air despite the escalating temps in the club. By the end of the night it was a hot, sweaty tranny love fest. One of us will make his set available to download this week so watch for that and we'll look forward to having him back someday soon! (Don't you love my new Regan/Romney hair do?)

The New Kids On The Block telephone came out in 1990. Someone was mentioning the other day that it was one of the first high profile 900 number rip off scams. The phone came preset with a hotline button that connected one hundred thousand unsuspecting little girls per week to recordings of the 'Kids' for 95 cents per minute. The service was advertised in newspapers and television as well.

AT&T has confirmed that the Hulk Hogan Hotline was the most lucrative 900 line in the United States from 1991 through 1993. Other early leaders in amassing huge volumes of revenue were the New Kids on the BlockDionne Warwick Psychic Network. – Wikipedia

It's one of the better quality productions so if you missed it check it out on the tubes here. (Thanks Cyrus)
