We’re in the heart of Aries season, right before a new moon in Aries this week! It seemed a good time to bring back the Zodiac series I started in 2016-2017 as mixes. Now with the podcast we can honor soul singers by their sign and birthdates, talk a little astrology and have a little…

Whisper & Screams, Lambs and Rams: The Aries Point Playlist
Here we are at Spring Equinox, and the beginning of the Astrological New Year. If you’ve been paying attention, I started this little Astro-DJ experiment last Spring with the sign of Taurus. I hadn’t intentionally thought of continuing it through all 12 signs. By the time I got to Gemini and Cancer I started linking…
I’ll Try Anything: The Master Vocal-Cultural Intersection Class as Taught by Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield, older I get, is someone that I love more, although she causes some grand complications being a fan of hers. She’s *that* Blue-eyed soul singer that reigns over all others. She’s *that* early queer icon that at least publicly identified as Bisexual far ahead of anyone else. She’s that British Invasion artist wholly…
The Magic of Marvin: Sovereign Soul and Sweetness, The Crown’d Prince of Motown
If you don’t have a special connection to Marvin Gaye, immediately I question your humanity. Chances are I’ll never like you. He left this earthly plane with a gunshot shortly before I turned 2 years old 32 years ago today, right before he turned 45. In just over 25 years, he evolved from being one…

The Supremes “Too Hurt To Cry, Too Much In Love To Say Goodbye” (1965, Unreleased. From Never-Released-Before Masters, 1987)
The Supremes “Too Hurt To Cry, Too Much In Love To Say Goodbye” (1965, Unreleased. From Never-Released-Before Masters, 1987) I’m like a number of people. When we look back on Diana Ross’s success as a performer for the past 57 years, I’m prone to put the metric of that squarely on her charisma and unstoppable…
Supreme Signs: Which Supremes #1 Hit are you?
(This idea was sponsored by fellow Astrologer Wonder Bright.) About a week and a half ago, Wonder commented that an alternate Capricorn “girl-group-a-scope” could be The Supremes 7th #1, “You Can’t Hurry Love.” It didn’t take me long to realize that, well, there’s enough Supremes Chart Toppers for each sign. What was I waiting for?…
What’s Your Sign? What’s Your Song? Your Girl Group Horoscope “Read” for The Middle of October
If you’ve been following along to this blog on the regular, you know that alongside the DJing I have a dabbling interest in Astrology. Well, probably more than a dabble considering that I have an Astrology lecture to my credit. About 40 days and nights ago I did a blog post on the now over…
