A huge group of us celebrated the birthdays of Bransby & D-Town (Dustin) by renting a sick party/limo bus and ravaged the town…

The same group that went to his last show, plus a few more, attempted yet again to see Calvin Harris at Vanguard. The crowd was huge & I was separated from the group, as usually happens to me. I spent most of the night right on the side of the stage studying Calvin during his set. It was a dope show…

A few friends & I, thanks to the man, Brad Hoss, went to see Felix Cartal at Avalon. Dope show… Dope night…

Hard Haunted Mansion. No words can explain this weekend, but i’ll try…
Good friends, good bands, good times!!!

At some point in time, for some reason, Angela & I took an expensive cab ride…

I got a new toy, an Akai MPD24. Using it in unison, with my Hercules RMX, I’m making better mixes…

Also, I checked out a local Drum & Bass show with the homies Alex & Kassie, which was surprisingly sick. Afterwards, I got quite unsurprisingly sick… =\
I went home to Burgh Town for my birthday. I spent some time with my friends and family. & of course, I took in a Steeler game. Ironically they played San Diego, & again, unsurprisingly we won!
I don’t have any photos from this one, but Myself, the lovely Joana & Angela, & Max & Cory & their boys went to Vanguard to see FischerSpooner. It was a great night for everyone.

…& after all of this, I woke up with cookie crumbs in my bed. ;]

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!!!

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!!!

Something wonderful has happened…

Well it’s going to happen (I hope it happens!). But something did happen, which will hopefully lead to what’s going to happen. All I know, is I hope it happens & when it does, I’ll let you know… That’s all I can really say. ;]

Update: False alarm… Shoulda known…
