My Trip Home

I took a trip home this past weekend. It was my brother Zach’s Birthday, my good friends Kevin & Natalie’s wedding, & also Mother’s Day. Friday I saw some of the homies but kicked it at home with Zach all night. We just sat around clownin, just like old times. The next day we went to visit my pap, then went to Jerry’s Curb Service. If you don’t know you better aks somebody. Then I went to the wedding reception, lookin good, I must say. It was so good to see so many good friends and other’s that I have not seen in quite a while. Met a few new people as well. One in particular… I think I “fell” that night, cuz it hurts. Anyways to my previous statement of “False Alarm…” I stand corrected, just not exactly as I suspected. We crashed The Embassy Suites. Partying on every floor, people everywhere & of course the police came & as far as I know atleast one person got arrested. Congrats Festor & Natalie, I am glad I could be there for that experience. & A GIANT THANK YOU TO LINDA!!! Kevin has the coolest mom ever! On Mother’s Day we went to Brunch, then my dad & my bro had to head to Harrisburg, so I kicked it with my moms for the day and we went to dinner at one of her favorite spots. Then I went to say goodbye to some friends and off to bed to get up and head back to LA. I had such a great time, best trip home yet.

The Golden Filter & The Presets
(& I can’t forget about Groamsville!)

It’s been a while since my last serious post. I have been busy with work and “Buck Practice.” But here it goes…

While everyone was at Coachella, I unfortunately was. I really at home. I really wish I had gone. There were so many sets that I wanted to see. If you listen to popular radio, then you are unaware that electro music is the new rock and DJs are the new rockstars, no matter what American Idol might tell you, The line up was full of DJs & electro rock bands. I can’t even begin to list them. They threw in The Cure & Paul McCartney to get the mainstream people to come, but if you are intune with what’s really popular, you were there to see the DJs. & I don’t mean the fucking hipsters that spend their parents money on the clothes their parents old clothes and sunglasses at thrift shops (don’t even get me started on fucking hipsters…) I’m talking about the true music heads that know who they are watching. You have no idea how many times I have gone to see worldclass DJs spin and some 16 year old in bright clothes & frogskins has walked up to me and pointed to the stage and said, “who is that?”.

…Oh yeah right I forgot what I was supposed to be talking about. So the day after Coachella I went to see The Presets with The Golden Filter at The Glasshouse. Paparazzi opened up with a DJ set. I saw him outsid afterward and gave him one of my DJ shirts. The golden Filter was next…

I had just recently got turned on to them. I really dig their disco sound. Not to mention their lead singer is super hot. Their set was good, you could tell that no one new who they were. They liked the music, but were there for The Presets. Finally The Presets came out…

They had just performed at Coachella & I heard that they were amazing. When I saw them their set was super dope. So much sound from 2 people. It got super hot in the building while everyone was jumping around to them. It’s refreshing to see a group perform their music, rather than spin it every once in a while.

Also I went to see what I was told is the last performance of the homie Sam’s Band Groamsville. It was fuckin rockin. 3 piece, no bass, guitar, drums & vocals. Sam was shredding. He stripped down for the performance because he got so HOTT!!!

You know who it is… It’s The BUCK JUAN CRIZ!!!

The boys & I have been in the studio practicing for Shawpalooza on May 16th. It’s pretty damn good if you ask me. Stay tuned…
