The album that the Buzz has been breathlessly anticipating for four long years now finally drops this week, and some pretty interesting stuff drops right alongside it. David, my darling, we have missed you!
Those pesky geniuses at Now! are out to steal a bit of Ultra’s thunder with their latest brilliant compilation, Now That’s What I Call Club Hits!, which features a smattering of hard-to-find dance mixes of recent radio smashes from the likes of David Guetta (his masterful collaboration with Kelly Rowland, “When Love Takes Over,” one of summer ’09’s most intoxicating singles), The Killers (“Spaceman”), Katy Perry (“Waking Up in Vegas,” which I can’t help but kinda sorta like, wholly in spite of the fact that I think she’s utterly ridiculous), Lady GaGa (the hilariously profane “LoveGame”), and Kelly Clarkson (the puny “My Life Would Suck Without You”), among many others.

(or: september 22 — a thumbnail sketch)
A lot of people have been cycling through here in the past few days trying to find my conversations — which were taped for Brandon’s Buzz Radio — with former “Guiding Light” head writer Pamela K. Long and “One Life to Live” star Nicholas Rodriguez. (Folks are searching for other of my show’s episodes as well, but, if this blog’s stats are to be believed, those two installments are consistently the most-often sought-after, at least of late.) For those of you who are searching and not finding the radio archive for my show, please scroll up to the top of the page, up to that pretty, colorful bar that lies just below the “Brandon’s Buzz” headline. Each of those segments of color is a “button” which takes you to a different part of this sprawling website, and the rightmost “button” — the blue one that says “radio” — houses a full archive of my show’s thirty-five (to date!) episodes. Click on that button, and you will almost certainly find what it is that you seek. (And thank you so much for coming here, everyone. The response to my show lately has been humbling and overwhelming, and I appreciate you all for your interest in what I’m working very hard to construct here.)
