Let's get fuuuucked up

Oh yeah and also.....



Let's go get fucked up

Nite time feelings...

So day 2 of my attempt to get back into blogging is going well. Despite the earthquakes and moneylessness I'm experiencing today it's actually been pretty good. Work is changing up a bit which is a very good thing. Just relocating this week, meaning I'm now sharing a space with my boyfriend(and his ex roommates stuff...but I'll get into that when i get to my breaking point). Sadly a byproduct of that is I'm separated by what feels like an ocean from my music/computer. Not saying I'm not happy with things just feels like I'm still in transition but frankly I've been in transition for the better part of a year and I'm over it.

With all that said last week i stumbled on some pretty amazing shit. First off the band Cosmetics. They remind me of Glass Candy on acid. Listen to the song nite time and suck me off later. From them i was linked to Ice cream(thanks myspace) and finally reflektionss and their label Disco Fizz which only boasts 3 bands total. Its all very Italians Do it Better but a bit more head trippy. So needless to say i love them all. Even though 2 of the bands deleted me. i have a feeling its about all my bulletins i post during my extremely boring workday and the fact that neither has more than 300 friends total. Which is fine...I'll rep them despite that. I searched all the major sites and couldn't find a damn thing. Could be due to the fact that they mostly release records and (god love them) cassette tapes. I did snag some stuff from reflektionss myspace which i may post later but you can just get them from their myspace directly. They also have a blogspot which has all the releases in detail at cosmicbubblegum

In other news saw the duke spirit play Amoeba in Hollywood yesterday. It was as amazing as i remember them being. Only wish i could have smoked a little before but my lack of money kept me from that. They were great anyways played mostly new stuff but managed to squeeze in a few oldies despite their lack of a piano. The crowd was a little lame but when the did Love is an Unfamiliar name all was forgiven.

wreck ya, check ya, disrespect ya

Been to long since i've updated but with the slump at work i'm gonna try to get back on the ball with this. I know the whole mix tape thing has been around forever but only recently (since the death of my Ipod and a need to find something to listen to at work) have i been roaming blogs and fully appreciating them. I almost creamed my pants when i heard about the upcoming Santogold/Diplo mixtape in the works. Anyways i've been on Nola Darlings jock for awhile but they just relesed thier first "mini" mix tape. If you have some free time and are sorta into female MC's (they sound somewhere inbetween left eye from TLC and a poppier Lauryn Hill and still sprinkle in a little femminest rhetoric on a few tracks all while mixing in songs from Black Sheep, Phil collins, and Rupaul) check em out and if you haven't copped already....

The song kids kinda sucks but the rest are pretty great

dream of a disco

As some of you may already know, music pioneer, humanitarian/activist, and co-founder of West End Records, Mel Cheren passed away on Friday, December 7, 2007. A memorial tribute is being planned around his birthday, January 21, 2008, so stay tuned.

Mel also agreed to do an interview for Logo network to discuss his HIV status openly. In this interview, Mel is brutally honest, but the message is clear: PROTECT YOURSELF AND GET TESTED REGULARLY NO MATTER WHAT AGE YOU ARE!

West End Records gave us some of the best disco and soul music the dance community has ever heard. His loss will be greatly felt by all those who continue to spin, listen, and dance to the music he made possible.

sniff me out like i was tanqueray

Words can no longer express my love of Amy Winehouse. Dlisted posted this clip of one of her recent shows in Zurich. While her band and singers put on a merry little show, she seems to be rummaging through her beehive steady digging for a minute before finding her coke bullet. Then she pulls her sleeve over it and does a bump trying to pass it off like she was wiping her nose. Someone give her a reality show pleeease!!!

confessions on a dancefloor

I want to start this post by saying, I have never up to this point liked Britney Spears.

With that being said I can't get through the new album without getting a big ass smile on my face. This is mainly do to the fact that im not only listening to a Britney Spears album but i actually like it. Which i can accept but for some reason i feel the need to defend the fact that i really like the album. i'll quote my friend pat "Just cause I like it doesn't make it good"...hahaha. That about sums it up. The truth is its not all that hard to swallow for 2 reasons.

1)i have a soft spots for walking messes.(Courtney Love, Lohan post-disney pre rehab, Amy Winehouse, Tara Reid , Winona Ryder) I mean the girl can't sing for shit, the only live performance shes done this far was so half ass she seemed half asleep, and finally did enough shit to get rid of the kids she seemed to not really want. She's basically a coked up whore and yet she still gets paid and still manages to have a hit record....i mean how can i not respect that just a litte?

2)i've always been a sucker for the underdog.


In all seriousness its just pop music. So why all the shame i'm feeling? haha. Besides i have a long history with cheesy pop bitches who cant really sing for shit but i love anyways. I'll leave you with a little Mp3 timeline of my favorite shall we say...vocally challenged icons and put my self on blast one more time

....If she tours i am seriously gonna go. Partly cause i like the album and partly cause i wanna see what that mess is gonna try and pull off half drunk. God sometimes i even shock myself?


Downloads:

Radar-Britney Spears...take note ladies, if you can't sing just synth out your voice till it gives it a "futuristic" sound. Dance artists have been doing it for years.

Cassie-Miss your touch...i have no idea why i enjoy her so much but i seriously do.

Dannii Minogue-Baby Love...ok so maybe shes not completly talentless, but i just love this song

Janet Jackson-When i think of you....yeah yeah yeah, she may not be talentless either but she treads close

Lisa Lisa and the cult jam-I wonder if i take you home....even though her voice is annoying i am still drawn to any dancefloor that will spin this record

France Joli-Come to me...i love how she tries to hit the high notes despite that fact that she clearly doesnt have the vocal capacity

Diana Ross-Love Hangover...dont get me wrong i love this bitch but a talented singer she is not
