Enough with the sad sack shit I've been posting lately(god love it). Alas, spirits are up in stereo-land. The dj gig has been treating me well(meaning they actually pay me).
It happens every 1st, 2nd, and 4th Thursdays at Merchants, 401 2nd St in Oakland.
Meanwhile I can't wait until Coleco's rework of Foreigner's "Urgent" is made available soon as an MP3 because it's absolutely perfect for a dive bar DJ attempting to make smashed people dance. Hallelujah.
Tomorrow night.
Brooklyn, NY based noise-poppers Sleigh Bells were remixed earlier this year by maestro and stereo-land favorite Diplo. Here he strips down the opening track off Treats, "Tell 'Em" with fantastic results.
Sleigh Bells kick off two-sold out shows tomorrow, Memorial Day, with Neon Indian at The Independent in SF.
I'll be there undoubtedly with a sunburn left over from this weekend.
This Thursday in Oakland.
Yucca Valley, CA
Includes many of my favorite things - sneakers, new Justice track, skateboarding, killer editing, and Katy Perry.
Well done.
Take responsibility for your choices, for your whims. Own your greatest strength and your most humbling mistakes. Cultivate the purpose you seek. Recognize your unbridled freedom. Everything else is meaningless.
The best people possess a feeling for beauty, the courage to take risks, the discipline to tell the truth, the capacity for sacrifice. Ironically, their virtues make them vulnerable; they are often wounded, sometimes destroyed.
