4th of July Festivities
(& some mixes)

This past weekend was the 4th of July. There was a huge shin-dig at Primitivo. Lots of food, fun, music & drinking. The Dave’s of The Whiskey Saints played. It was perhaps the best 4th ever!

After Primitivo, I went with the lovely & talented Rachael to a random, underground warehouse, drum&bass party. It was pretty sick! We stayed till we could see the sun outside. Sunday was a very lazy day. It was an AMAZING weekend. Perhaps the best I’ve had in a while…

Here are some new mixes from Tim & I. Enjoy…

Whatta Week?!

Last week was one to be remembered.

I went out and had some fun times with friends. The Whiskey Saints played and had a video release, which I was late for, but it was fun, none-the-less. Got back in the studio, only to realize that I need to spend more time in the studio. I have been lazy and unmotivated lately. I need some drive. I’ve had a lot of things and people on my mind, draggin me down. So, I need to focus and quit wasting time worrying about everything, especially when I have no control over it. I torture myself sometimes but I’m working on that. Like I said… FOCUS!!!

But that’s not what will go in down in history. (Now I am a very unsympathetic and cynical person, so pardon the lack of sympathy here…)

Before the weekend, Ed Mcmahon passed away. He was a beloved man, a bit before my time, but I still remember him from StarSearch & the Publishers Clearinghouse deal. Those were the days… Early in the week, it was reported that Farrah Fawcette died. In her day she was the epitome of hotness & even up until the day she died, she was a fox.

Before the news had had a chance to rest after that news, about five hours later, I saw a post on Twitter that said Michael Jackson was rushed to the hospital, & by the time I went to find out more about it, he too had passed away. That was very weird & for some reason not surprising news. Everyone was crazy with reporting about it as they usually are. It was all you heard about all day & his music was seemingly playing from a universal speaker, no matter where you were. I went to the Chinese restaurant next to work & “Don’t Stop Til You Get Enough” was playing!?

Now I grew up LOVING Michael Jackson! He was an incredible musician, talent, dancer & artist galore. I would listen to his music and watch him dance from as long as I can remember. He had an unfortunate life, despite being, perhaps the most famous person in the world. As he became less relative in popular culture, he seemingly began to become less in touch with reality and quite frankly, odd.

I think Sarah Silver man said it best today on Twitter, when she said…
“Had the scariest dream that Michael Jackson died& no one knew why& we all suddenly appreciated his talent& I thought, what good is that now?”

I plan on doing an MJ mix very soon. I’ll post ASAP, stay tuned.

Oh yeah… Me &Fink went to see Phoenix. The sound was INCREDIBLE!!!
