As we have FINALLY hit summer and with major life changes on the horizon, the list has taken a dramatic turn for the month of July.
Gone after an amazing 20 month run is my JAM "One Love" - David Guetta (feautring Estelle) and in it's place - a mash of Rock songs featuring Everclear, Stone Temple Pilots, Oasis and Radiohead, 2 classic U2 Gospel anthems, several dance remixes and a few retro classics featuring the likes of Adele, Britney, Beyonce, J-Lo, Duran Duran, Dead or Alive. In additon, Christina Perri makes her debut this month as does Lady Gaga's "Bloody Mary."
Hope you enjoy the list, and thanks as always for reading and forwarding your comments!

Last week I was 'disappointed' when I heard that NY Giants Super Bowl hero David Tyree was against marriage equality.
What it boils down to is I find it ironic that he and the President of the United States, both successful black men, have the boldness to support discrimination of any kind...given all they have thanks to the efforts of so many before them. But, as an American who embraces the spirit of Constitution, I respect their right to their opinion.
What I cannot respect or understand however, is Mr. Tyree's ignorance. In an interview this week, Tyree said that he would trade his infamous “catch,” which helped the Giants win the Super Bowl in 2008, to stop marriage equality. His exact quote was, “I'll lay down everything I am to preserve the honor and integrity of the God that I serve.”
What God do you serve, Sir?
SO my special comment is this -- it takes a very special type of jackass to spit on all the people who gave their lives to make sure, you Sir, were afforded all that you have today. I know you don’t see it that way, and I know many like you don’t see it that way either, but at the end of the day, equal rights for all…is equal rights all. Proclaiming you would be willing to give up winning a football game so that others can be denied their rights, in the name of God, is beyond insulting to me, Mr. Tyree.
Denying a person or a group of persons their rights in the name of God, or because of the color of their skin is AND ALWAYS WILL BE discrimination.
No matter what excuse you hide behind.

Sadly, it's a shame there isn't a full moon tonight. At least that would partially explain why everyone appears to be so batshit crazy today.
First, foremost and above all we have Charlie Sheen, who is putting to shame...let me say it again...putting to shame ANYTHING Britney and Whitney have done in the past -- COMBINED. That crazy jackass is jumping from TV show to TV show crying out about how the network has mentally harmed him. But the quote that in my mind deems him certifiably batshit crazy is, "I'm tired of pretending like I'm not bitching a total freaking rock star from Mars."
Really Charlie? Why don't you take your batshit crazy rock star status and go back to Mars. Maybe someone there will appreciate what a big star you are.
Next we have John Boehner, who has all but given up pretending like he's working towards fulfilling his promise to get American's working again. His next major goal is to make sure the House of Representatives defends the Defense of Marriage Act, now that the President has come to the logically conclusion many of us have had since day one - it's Unconstitutional. Boehner thinks that because the bill passed easily and overwhelmingly back in 1996 that the House should "lead" where the President is failing. Really John? Excuse Mr. Speaker...where are the jobs you promised?
Next up...Iran calls 2012 London Olympics logo 'racist,' threatens boycott. This one honetly caused me to spit my Peach Snapple over my monitor and keyboard. What does one...what can one really say about this? Judge for yourself...
Last but certainly not least, we have Maine Governor Paul LePage who during a press conference today said the following...
As I said to my friend who posted this story on Facebook, it's a damn shame Charlie Sheen had his nervous meltdown today. This certainly would have been amongst the top batshit moments of the day.
And there, in a NUTshell, I give you Batshit Monday.
What will Tuesday bring?
It's like they say...crazy never takes a day off!
(most of the following was in response to the 'Question of the Day' from BPM. The rest are just additional thoughts on the matter)
In this day an age when the Black Eyed Peas sample tired old songs and call them new songs time and time again, saying Lady Gaga "ripped off" Madonna's 'Express Yourself' is beyond silly.
If you don't like her or her songs, exercise your free will or better yet 'Express Yourself' and change the station whenever her music is played so the rest of us can continue to enjoy her music.
Somehow I've found a way to Love Gaga, Britney and Madonna and I have a hard time understanding why people are so hell bent on trying to "pick sides" when it comes to the 3 of them. They are all powerful women in their own way and great performers. So why the need to beat up on them in an effort to dis one over the other?
People have too much time on their hands these days to dish hate. How about we all just enjoy the music and leave it at that.
It's just a thought....
