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!

Thank You for an Incredible Pride Month — See You July 9!

As June comes to a close, I just want to take a moment to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for joining me on this journey through music, memory, and celebration. This year’s Pride Month on Burning the Ground has been one of the most special yet — a vibrant mix of anthems, deep cuts, camp classics, and unexpected gems that have moved us, united us, and made us dance.

Together, we paid tribute to pioneers like Divine, Malcolm McLaren, Pete Burns, and k.d. lang… we turned the volume up on forgotten 12″ remixes, glittering club anthems, and powerful messages of love, identity, and freedom. Whether it was a synth-pop banger or a disco confession, each post was a small act of celebration and remembrance — for the voices we’ve lost, the lives we’ve lived, and the joy we continue to share.

Now, I’m signing off for a short vacation and will be taking a much-needed break until July 9. During this time, there won’t be any new posts, but feel free to explore the archives and revisit some favorites — there’s always something worth rediscovering.

To everyone who has commented, shared a memory, or simply stopped by to listen — thank you. Your presence here keeps the music alive.

Stay safe, stay proud, and I’ll see you back here in July with more vinyl treasures and sonic surprises.

With love and appreciation,

Vacation!

Friends as of this very moment, I’m taking a vacation. It won’t be a long vacation, 10 days at most. I have no idea where we are going, it may be Rio, Club Tropicana, or maybe somewhere over the rainbow.

My partner and I love to take road trips so I imagine it will be somewhere spontaneous. I will miss you guys. While I am away, I will not be posting on the site.

Take care of the place while I am gone.
