Part 2 to come...

Sweaty Nights

Lately, I've been taking my musical interests back into the 21st century. I was grooving so much this summer on classic rock that I forgot all about electronic music. So this coming fall, I have to say goodbye to the Stones (not completly) and hello to DJ's yet again. It's something about the city lights that makes me want to listen to some electro house and get my dance on.

Many DJ's as of late have been making me cream my pants, some of the usual, and some new beasts.

My picks of this month:

-BURNS

-DJ Rusko

-Calvin Harris

-Steve Aoki

-JFK

-Felix Cartal

More to come I'm sure as the weather digresses and I begin to hit the clubs more often. Sweaty nights to come!

Oh Dandy, Oh!

Recent discovery has led

to this ultimate post-modern dandy Noel Fielding.

He is a british actor/comedian/artist type

along the lines of Russell Brand.

He's fancy and I like him

on the arm of Alison Mosshart in a poncho.

This Is Like a Flashback

Calvin Harris- "Flashback"

This is hot shit. I love the headdress. Can't wait for this hot biz to grace the stage with The White Snow Leopard and BURNS in a month.

Heavier Than Air

Today is the 10th anniversary of something very special.

Ten years ago today one of the top albums of all time

"Relationship of Command" was released by At the Drive-In.

In honour of the anniversary, Cedric Bixler-Zavala

is today's Rock God.

There is no one quite as sexy as this beautiful man.

The way he struts around stage in a silk shirt.

I happened to run into him before a show 3 years ago

and I almost passed out at the sight

of his fro and double denim ensemble.

I was so spell bound I didn't even think of asking

him to pose for a picture.

Seeing Cedric on stage is as close as I will get

to seeing Led Zeppelin perform.

He is like a time bomb exploding

on stage.

No one has stage presence like Cedric

except maybe Iggy Pop.

Also,Cedric has serious mike throwing skills.

See him in action here:

Funeral at 4 a.m.

So far life in Crystal Cave has been quite lonely. I have the TV on constantly to fill the space with white noise. I had a sleepover with my friend two nights ago and we were blasting the Arcade Fire's "Funeral" at 4 a.m. I hope the neighbours don't hate me too much.

I have also managed to christen the bathroom with a "Doors sound bath." and the kitchen with burnt offerings of rice. The Crystal Cave is sure full of wonders. Photographic tour to come...
