Can you GUESS which DAFT PUNK song NAEER is listening to on DeeJay Shelly’s Red Headphones? Or, Can you guess where we had lunch today?

“Not Ear” – is how you pronounce his name. The first time we met I kept having to ask him over and over, “How do you pronounce your name again?” He finally pointed to his ear and replied, “It’s like ‘Not’. Then, ‘ear’. Not Ear.” HE SPEAKS SHELLY!!!! We’ve been friends ever since. Naeer and I were catching up today. He wants to own his own business some day also. He is taking business classes at Philadelphia Community College. Yet, he’s also got an artsy side – he likes to draw.

Since Naeer needed a ride to school today, I told him I’d come scoop him up and we could grab lunch on the way. He’s lived in Philly all his life, yet he’s never been here…Do you know where we had lunch today?

I told Naeer he was getting SHELLZAMED today. He chose to SHELLZAM a song from Daft Punk! He also loves music. Do you know which Daft Punk song Naeer wants to SHELLZAM? OR, Tell us – what is your favorite Daft Punk Song? Naeer and DeeJay Shelly want to know! Or, guess where we had lunch? Do you recognize this place?

One day I’ll share Naeer’s story. He’s one of the most determined people I know.

DeeJay Shelly wants to feature your face and your favorite song for the SHELLZAM pick of the day. Friend me-DeeJay Shelly. Or, message me your picture and favorite song. Just make sure you’re smiling! And please make sure the song is CLEAN. No bad words. We’ll feature you in the SHELLZAM of the day.
Plus, once you become a friend of DeeJay Shelly you can see what other songs I’m listening to on Shazam.

Thanks friends! Gracias mis amigos/amigas! Merci mes amis!I

NEVER LET ME DOWN AGAIN – Depeche Mode

MEET IMED!

DeeJay Shelly was taking a ride in Imed’s Taxi last night. As we were making our way from the Omni Hotel back to the Double Tree in downtown Philadelphia, we started chatting. Come to find out Imed and DeeJay Shelly have a lot in common! One thing we share is we both love Depeche Mode! What’s more? Imed is from Tunisia (Africa). DeeJay Shelly hopes to visit Africa one day.

“Tunisia is a country in the Maghreb region of North Africa. It is the smallest country in North Africa by land area and is bordered by Algeria to the west, Libya to the southeast and the Mediterranean Sea to the north and east. Tunisia is the northernmost country in Africa, with the northernmost point on the African continent, Ras ben Sakka. Tunisia contains the eastern streamers of the Atlas Mountains, while the south of the country contains the northern reaches of the Sahara desert. The country’s coasts represent the natural African conjunction between the Western and Eastern Mediterranean Basins, and feature the second and third nearest points of mainland Africa to Europe after Gibraltar, by means of the Sicilian Strait to the northeast and theSardinian Channel to the northwest.

Tunisia is almost 165,000 square kilometres (64,000 sq mi) in area, with an estimated population of just under 10.7 million. Its name is derived from the capital Tunis located in the northeast. The south of the country is composed of the Sahara desert, with much of the remainder consisting of particularly fertile soil and 1,300 kilometres (810 mi) of coastline.” -From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

So nice to meet Imed last night! We had a fun conversation! I definitely get my love for people from my mom. My mom has taught me to take the time to talk to people. You just never know what you’ll find out, or, what cool new friends you’ll meet.

Thanks friends! Gracias mis amigos/amigas! Merci mes amis!I

ROCK “N” ROLL NEWS: The Long missed Christine McVie of Fleetwood Mac is back!!

One of the biggest pieces of news to enter into this New Year of 2014 comes from a band known for its “Rumors”, and it turns out, this “rumor” may be true: Vocalist/keyboardist Christine McVie has reclaimed her position in Fleetwood Mac, following a 16-year absence. Drummer Mick Fleetwood recently told the audience at Uncle Willie K’s BBQ Blues Fest in Maui that, “This is the worst kept secret there is, but Christine McVie will be rejoining Fleetwood Mac.” The band has yet to release the news formally.

In late 2013 McVie began rehearsing with her former band Fleetwood Mac for two shows on the group’s European tour. McVie joined the band for a rousing performance of the Rumours cut “Don’t Stop” at London’s O2 Arena. Two months later it appeared McVie had found joy at the possibility of rejoining the band saying to The Guardian, “If they were to ask me I would probably be very delighted . . . but it hasn’t happened so we’ll have to wait and see.”

Regarding her first appearance with the group after more than a decade away, the singer said, “It was amazing, like I’d never left. I climbed back on there again and there they were, the same old faces on stage.”

Recently, McVie’s former band mate, Stevie Nicks told Rolling Stone that if she wants to come back, the door is open. “She started the damn band,” she said.

Welcome back Christine McVie, we missed you!!

HIP HOP NEWS: Outkast set to Reunite in 2014!

To celebrate what will be the 20^th Anniversary since the inception of the Hip Hop band, Outkast, the band is set to reunite, and will be playing over 40 festivals worldwide this year, beginning with their headlining appearance in April at Coachella.

“It’s truly an honor to celebrate 20 years and still be free to do music the way we choose,” Big Boi said in a statement. “I’m looking forward to rocking the stage with my Bro Ski and to all the fans, stank you smelly much. This is for y’all!”

“And imagine, all we wanted to do was rap,” said André 3000. “I am thankful to have been a part of a group that allowed me to explore anything that came to mind and have fun doing it. Returning to the stage together is the most exciting way for us to thank everyone for their 20 years of supporting Outkast.”

OutKast will take the stage at Coachella nearly 20 years to the day that they released their debut album, Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik, in April 1994.

The duo announced the full return this past January 13 on its newly launched Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages.
