Actually, I was originally thinking of calling this set PopFLY, since the inclusion of the Chris Brown track "Forever" brings it as close to pop music as my mixes usually get … "Forever" is included because I saw the same YouTube J/K wedding entrance clip that everyone else did, only difference being, I didn't already know the tune they used, so it struck me the way, then, that it struck everyone else when they heard it for the first time …

And then again, I was thinking about calling this set Advertisements for Myself (keeping one eye out for legal representatives of the Mailer estate) just because that Nightmares on Wax tune "Know My Name" seems like such a worthy anthem for yours truly … which is why it will probably continue to pop up on BeatConscious mixes over the years …

But then I got hold of the dialog drop from Mr. Spock that opens the set, and there was no way that was gonna miss getting title honors … it covers so much possible territory, it's so suggestive … yep, there's a whole lot of wanting but not having in most lives, when you start thinking about it. In fact, Cantoma, whose track "Rain" showed up recently in another BC set, claims the closing position here precisely because that melody is one of the most wordlessly evocative expressions of wanting but not having that I've heard recently.

For now however, if you're wanting to hear DJ Krush and Zap Mama, Hardkandy, Alex Cortiz, DJ Cam, Sven Van Hees, TM Juke, Erykah Badu and The Roots, Radio Citizen and Laura Izibor -- well, you can be having all that during the hour you spend with the BeatConscious stream on mmRadio. We'd love to have you join us....

Oh yeah, for those who missed Mr. Spock's Advice, let me quote it for you: After a time you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing after all as wanting ... it is not logical, but it is often true.
