October Fundraiser 2026: We Did It! Thank You BTG Family

Hello, BTG family.

We did it!

The October Fundraiser has officially reached the $1,500 goal, so I am closing the fundraiser.

Thank you to everyone who donated. Your generosity has covered the $422.14 two-year hosting renewal and will also help with the other expenses involved in keeping Burning The Ground online.

Every donation, no matter the amount, helped us reach the goal, and I truly appreciate each and every one of you who contributed.

I also want to thank everyone who visits BTG, leaves comments, shares memories, and continues to support the site.

The next fundraiser will be in April. Until then, it is time to get back to the music.

Thank you for helping keep Burning The Ground online and the turntable spinning.

October Fundraiser Update: We’re Halfway There!

Hello, BTG family.

I wanted to share a quick update on this year’s October fundraiser and thank everyone who has donated so far.

As of this morning, we have reached $750, which brings us halfway to the $1,500 goal.

I am incredibly grateful for your support, kindness, and generosity.

This year’s fundraiser is especially important because I need to cover my two-year hosting renewal, which is $422.14, along with the other ongoing costs involved in keeping Burning The Ground online and running smoothly.

  If you would still like to help with this year’s fundraiser, you can make a secure donation via PayPal using the Donation Page or by clicking any of the yellow Donate buttons throughout the site.

Please know that every donation, no matter the amount, truly helps and is very much appreciated.

Thank you again to everyone who has contributed so far, and thank you to all of you for continuing to support Burning The Ground.

I’m very thankful to have such a wonderful community here.

Back From Vacation… and Pride Month Begins Wednesday!

After a much-needed vacation, I’m back and ready to get the music spinning again here at Burning The Ground.

To everyone who has been patiently waiting, thank you. The break was refreshing, but I’ve missed sharing great music with all of you.

We’ll officially kick off Pride Month on Wednesday with a classic dance floor favorite from one of pop music’s most influential and enduring duos. Released at the turn of the millennium, this uplifting anthem celebrates individuality, community, and finding your place among kindred spirits. Its message remains just as relevant today as it was when it first filled clubs and dance floors around the world.

If you’ve ever dreamed of bright lights, big city energy, and the freedom to be yourself, you’ll definitely want to stop by on Wednesday.

That’s all I’m giving away for now.

See you then!

Vacation Mode: ON, Turntable: OFF (Well… Mostly)

Hey everyone,

Just a quick heads-up that I’ll be taking a little vacation time starting Monday, May 25. The turntables will be spinning a bit slower around here while I recharge the batteries, hunt down some vinyl treasures, and probably listen to way too many extended mixes at unhealthy volume levels.

I’m planning to return sometime around June 8, give or take a few days depending on how far I drift into relaxation mode.

Until then, feel free to dig through the archives, revisit some old favorites, and keep the comments coming. I always enjoy reading them, even when I’m away.

Thank you all for the continued support, kindness, and for helping make Burning the Ground such a fun place to share music memories. You guys are the best.

See you soon, and keep those 12-inch singles spinning loud!

-Paul
