The White Snow Flake Got You So Awake...

Please welcome New York's #1 Party girl Miss Roxy Cottontail.

DJ, music promoter, and party animal extraordinaire, Roxy attracts attention and partiers everywhere she goes. With connections to Spankrock, Chromeo, and Diplo, She is right up my musical alley.

Named after the pharmaceutical Oxycontin, its no surprise Roxy has a track about supermodel Kate Moss and her "white snowflake" obsession. "Kate Moss" is probably one of the sexiest tracks I've
heard recently. I'm really pleased there is finally a musical masterpiece dedicated to one of my Muses. Next is Lindsay Lohan.

Check out the track "Kate Moss" on itunes
and listen to the "Double Dare" remix here

Wasted Youth


This is my tribute to the brilliance that is The Cobra Snake.
Mark Hunter( A.ka. the Cobra Snake) epitomizes
everything I strive to be.
He has been described as
"the definitive photographer of hipster culture worldwide."
He parties hard, takes super stylized photo's,
run's an online clothing store,
and oh yeah,
he is The White Snow Leopard's (Steve Aoki) partner in crime.
He is the ultimate.

It's the American Dream...

Say Ola to Marina and the Diamonds. Straight out of London, Marina Diamandis does pop the right way with top notch vocals, infectious beats, and a message. On her myspace page, she writes:

"Do you think that when people take pictures of the characters at disney world they smile behind their masks?

I'm Marina

You are the diamonds."

Her album drops soon, but in the meantime check out these two remixes of the single
"Hollywood"

Burn Those Disco Balls!

I'm not usually the biggest promoter of Jay-Z, but this video is visually and musically pretty intriguing.
Jay-Z and the Swizz Beatz bring it down with glittery skulls, burning balls, and a cloaked character.

The Boat that Rocked

Yet another understated movie.
Pirate Radio(The Boat that Rocked) was released under most people's radar undetected. What a surprise! It being a very music oriented film, it is possible it wouldn't appeal to the Avatar/Transformers seeking group, but for music fanatics, it was welcomed with open arms.

Pirate Radio rides on the curtails of movies like Almost Famous and Dazed and Confused. It is filled with sex, drugs and rock and roll, of course. Debauchery and classic rock hits are meshed together along with engaging characters. Rhys Darby plays a hilariously awkward DJ, that is just a clueless as Murray, the poseur manager character he plays in Flight of the Concords. Philip Seymour Hoffman plays another cool as a cucumber DJ that bares a strikingly similar resemblance to his Lester Bangs character in Almost Famous. That must be just a coincidence.

In a way, the story of Pirate Radio is quite familiar. It's the story of a boy, Young Carl, who in the throws of youth, finds himself and his father. Another coming of age story right? Except it has charm and the swagger of Mick Jagger( Ode to Ke$sha). And the soundtrack is beyond fabulous; It's doused with hits from the Kinks to the Yardbirds.

Pirate Radio will never replace Almost Famous or The Doors, in the rock/bio flick gauntlet, but it does satisfy that lust for a music/film sundae.

Check out these other rock oriented films:
Almost Famous
Dazed and Confused
Detroit Rock City
Empire Records
The Doors
Hair
Across the Universe

Riding the Brown Serpent

The joy in life has now returned.
I can now ride the brown serpent
as much as I want.
Being away from coffee has evoked many early nights,
boring days, and a general lack of lust for life.
I'm glad I can begin to take the trip again.
It's just like how Kenneth took a ride on
the brown serpent in a 30 Rock episode.

This Trick!

This trick doesn't know when to stop.
This sequined, hooded, mistake takes the cake.
Kudos to you Lilo for wearing this out in public.

Follow the Boy With the Yellow Balloon

One of my favorite tracks right now is a magical piece called "Castles In the Snow" by Twin Shadow.

Straight out of Brooklyn, George Lewis Jr. (recording name Twin Shadow) makes glossy, retro pop songs that I could definitely frolic to.

Check out and download the tracks "Castles In the Snow" and "Yellow Balloon" here.

Dancing Days Are Here Again

Dancing days return once again.
Feel free to click your loafers together on this one.
Vampire Weekend's Contra has stolen the top album
spot from Ke$ha's Animal LP.
If Vampire Weekend and Ke$sha really
had to battle it out,
I think VW would stomp on Ke$ha with their
loafers.

Listen To This!

Phrazes for the Young LP

This album from the Strokes front man Julian Casablancas is definitely a win. It's good to hear that voice on some new tracks.
The LP was released in November but, I'm just starting to get into it now. Check out "11th Dimension" and "30 Minute Boyfriend"

Check out the music video for "11th Dimension" here

From the 5th to the 11th Dimension

Some more random quotes:

"So, we're left to assume it's just two random French dudes hanging out in the studio, drinking lots of wine and trying to find the fifth dimension inside an analog synth, and we like that." - Unknown

"You dont look a day over haggard." - Michael K. on D Listed


"You must be at least 75 to enter my chamber of lust."

- Unknown


"This is free speech. You talk and then we talk about how stupid you are." - Guy Branham on Chelsea Lately

Lack Of Discretion

There is a fine line between human sensitivity
and curiosity.
I hate it when people lack sense and tack,
and ask inappropriate questions during public addresses
and presentations.
Yes, it is tolerable to overlook others stupidity,
but when they lack sensitivity and
ask the presenter, in front of a room full of people,
as to why they have some type of bodily handicap,
I can't help but be angry.
Discretion, I guess, is a learned technique.

Re-imagined on the Silver Screen

There is nothing I romanticize more- other than music- than films. The following is a make shift list of my top picks for films, not in any particular order

1) Rebel Without a Cause- Live fast, die young with James Dean. Classic.
2) Dear Wendy- Indie film about Dandies, guns and a fabulous Zombies soundtrack
3) The Doors- Bio pic about Jim Morrison.
4) The Bride of Frankenstein- One of my favorite horror/sci-fi films.
5) Almost Famous- The coming of age story of
a rock journalist. Based loosely on the life of Cameron Crowe.
6)East of Eden- Another James Dean classic. Epic Story.
7) Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas- the Hunter S. Thompson epic come to life courtesy of Johnny Depp.
8) Willy Wonka and the Choclate Factory- The childhood classic with a sinister Gene Wilder.
9) The Wristcutters: A Love Story- A love/suicide story that ends the opposite of Romeo and Juliet.
10) The Beach- The one movie where Leonardo DiCaprio is not annoying. It's a savage film about true human nature.
11)Chitty Chitty Bang Bang- Disney Classic next to Marry Poppins. It turned me on to Dick Van Dyke.
12) Blow- Johnny Depp as legendary drug dealer George Jung.
13) Four Brothers- Mark Wahlberg is bad ass and makes us forget Marky Mark while protecting his brothers.
14)Lords of Dogtown- Semi historical film of the upstart of skateboarding.
15)Factory Girl- Bio pic of Edie Sedgwick's life. Very Warhol.
16)I'm Not Here- Bio pic of Bob Dylan's life told by 7 personalities.
17)A Clockwork Orange- A Stanley Kubrick classic.
18)Kill Bill Vol 1 and 2- Quintin Tarantino duo films with Uma Thurman as an assasin and Lucy Lu kicking butt.
19)Singing in the Rain- Best musical of all time.
20)The Graduate- Dustin Hoffman's first film. Mrs. Robinson is so naughty.
21)I Love You Man- One of the most genuine comedies, filled with bromance.
22)Across the Universe- The Beatles soundtrack re-imagined, visually stunning, it's the ultimate trip.
23)Fight Club- Brad Pitt looking buff, Edward Norton taking your mind on a trip.
24)Metropolis- One of the first science fiction films ever made. Fritz Lang imagines female robots taking over society.
25)The Virgin Diaries- a Kirsten Dunst classic. It's about suicide hint.
26)There Will Be Blood- The thirst for blood and oil. Outstanding film of the 2000's.
27)C.R.A.Z.Y.- Indie flick about a boy coming of age to the soundtrack of Bowie and Patsy Cline.

This Is How It's Done!

This is how paper-bagging it is done in a classy way. Yes, it is possible Shia.

Listen To This!

The first album I have purchased in this decade is
no other than Contra, Vampire Weekends latest LP.
I recommend to buy this up, spin "Horchata" in on your turn table,
and drink some rooibos tea.

Word Up!

This was a random convo I had with one of classmates the other day. Enjoy.

P: I was listening to my ipod yesterday to all these songs my ex boyfriend put on it for me. All the songs were sex music.
Me: Well what do you mean sex music? What were the songs?
P: Well one of the groups was techno kind of and had a weird name with a hole bunch of letters in it and the song was called "Word up."
(Pause here)
Me(while laughing): I think you are talking about MSTRKRFT. Their name is in all caps right?
P: Yeah. I think that's it.
Me: How is that sex music?
P: Well the lyrics in that song were like "Get Fucked, get fucked, do it hard."
Me: And you think that is sex music?
P:Yeah.
Me(laughing again): I thought sex music was more like Barry White. You know like "Let's get it on." More sensual.
P: Well what are the lyrics about then?
Me: They're just lyrics. Besides it's not like you need to get lubed up to listen to it.

These Two Tricks!

Okay these two tricks are engaged.
Evan Rachel Wood and Marilyn Mason.
Reportedly, Marilyn proposed to Evan after one of his concerts.

Gonzo Style Quotes

Spoken from a true genius, here are some random quotes
from an Hunter S. Thompson article.

"Most of use are living here because we like the idea of being able to walk out our front doors and smile at what we see. On my own front porch I have a palm tree growing in a blue toilet bowl, and on occasion I like to wander outside, stark naked, and fire my .44 magnum at various gongs I've mounted on the nearby hillside. I like to load up on mescaline and turn my amplifier up to 110 decibels for a taste of 'White Rabbit' while the sun comes up on the snow peaks along the Continental Divide."

"No more huge, space-killing apartment buildings to block the view of anybody who might want to look up from any downtown street and see the mountains. No more land rapes, no more busts for flute playing or blocking the sidewalk...fuck the tourists, dead-end the highway, zone the greedheads out of existence and in general create a town where people could live like human beings, instead of slave to some bogus sense of Progress that is driving us all mad."

I am the lizard king, I can do anything

Every once and a while I have the urge to bust out The Doors and take what I call a Jim Morrison bath.

Directions:
Turn off the lights in the washroom and light some candles and incence. Let the smoke fill up the room while the tub fills up with frothy bubbles. Cue the Doors, probably "The Crystal Ship" or "Lost Little Girl." Now that the ambience has been created, you can now emerse yourself and drift away listening to Mr. Mojo Rising while you soak.

It's quite magical really. Try it sometime when you feel mystical or are in the mood for a "sound bath."

Meatball Maximus

This chubbster here is going to be my next dog.
Bulldogs are so epic.
I have a name picked out already for the future dog-Meatball Maximus. It's definitely the perfect name.

It's Trashy But I Like It...

Honestly, I am quite aware the TV show
Dog the Bounty Hunter
is quite trashy, but that doesn't stop
me from watching and enjoying it.

Does it matter that Dog is allegedly racist? Not really
Does it matter that Beth is a very bitchy and busty woman? Not at all.
All that matters is that the show is addictive and entertaining.
Oh and the fact that Leland is def. a hot piece doesn't hurt either.

Random fact: Ozzy Osbourne sings the Dog theme song.

Would You Hit It?

Well after a long awaited hiatus, it's time to begin 2010 eight days too late.

Would you hit it?

Will Arnett, best known for playing Gob Bluth on Arrested Development, likes to play with puppets.
He is also in Hot Rod, Blades of Glory and that new film When In Rome.
