TOP ALBUMS OF 2009

Here is my take what the top records were for the year. I am sure there are a lot I missed, and there will definitely be some people thinking otherwise.

ROXY MUSIC - Love is the Drug (prince klassen edit)

I first heard this tune on Depeche Mode's 101 tour video in the earlier 90s. I never knew who it was until way later. While ripping vinyl the other day, I thought I would give it a go. The groove and feel of this record is uneffwittable.

Roxy Music - Love is The Drug (prince klassen edit)

NAS - WATERMELON SONG

I was talking to some friends online yesterday and they were talking about this video. I had not seen the video until they sent me a link, but I am happy they did.

I think the video conveys a strong message, not only for hip hop, but for national social awareness in general. I admire Nas for making his voice heard with such a shocking video. I am wondering where the video will air, considering it's content, but nonetheless amazed. If you are interested in more truths about how racism truly works, rent or purchase any of the fine Paul Mooney DVDs.

BICYCLE FILM FESTIVAL: AUSTIN

Today is the start of the Bicycle Film Festival!!! There are a few things I would like to make it out to, but the main one would be Keirin Queen or Onna Keirin Oh.

BREAKING AWAY with Mellow Johnny's & Rapha

Mellow Johnny's, Rapha, and Alamo Drafthouse teamed up to re create the epic final race of 1979's Breaking Away. Here is the sneak preview for the upcoming film from the event.

CANON AE-1

I have always wanted to try photography out, but have never had more than a simple point and shoot, polaroid, or any other sort of generic camera until now. I recently got a Canon AE-1 off of craigslist (my lord and saviour) for a dirt cheap price. It took me a few days to figure out exactly what was going on with it and after a tutorial a homegirl, I finally have something to show for it.

I started a flickr set called Canon AE-1 where I will be posting all my newest prints. Here is what I have so far!


I figured out that just like records (analog), I am addicted to shooting on film now. This might change when I get my Nikon, but we will see.

RED BULL MUSIC ACADEMY PRESENTS: AFRIKA BAMBAATAA workshop

FADER MAGAZINE x BACARDI "SOUNDCHECK" PARTY

Wooooo! I finally found the Austin 360 posting from the Fader Magazine party last week at the Scoot Inn. The pics are great and the turnout was amazing. For that missed out, you might get upset with these pics.


CLICK HERE FOR MORE PICS.

Fader has teamed up with Bacardi for a series of events of the last few months. The B-Live series has mega headliners, which you may have heard of with the whole Jazzy Jeff issue, and they have had the Soundcheck parties with local parties on a smaller scale. They did a 10 city tour with Soundcheck and Austin came out strong, actually having the most people attend out of the other 9 cities... including New York!!!

Thanks to my people at Fader Magazine for having me play both Austin and Dallas, Rufus at Scoot Inn, Austin 360, and everyone for spreading the word and love.

INSECT RECORDS in FULL EFFECT

This just in from Twitter, my good homies over at Rec Spec have finished up the Insect Records website.


They have released a series of 45's from some of Stones Throw's roster, including a split from Dudley "Declaime" Perkins & Georgia Anne Muldrow, as well as have other Austin based releases in the works.

For more info on what they have in the works or have already released, visit the site... Insect Records

I welcome Insect Records into my life and hope that Ben and the rest of the IR staff have a great number of years and releases in the future ahead.

::NOTE::
I am keeping my fingers crossed on this one, but there is a potential Prince Klassen release in the works. Shhh, don't tell anyone.

BREAKING AWAY + LITTLE 500

Two of my favorite bike peoples hollered at me again for a great event next week. Rapha, whom we did the roller races with last year and Mellow Johnny's are teaming up once again. This time they are holding their version of the Little 500 in commemoration of the 30th anniversary of the 1979 cycling film, Breaking Away.


For more details on the event, you can go here. BUT WAIT THERE IS MORE!!! Mellow Johnny's be holding the after party screening one of the best cycling movies ever made at 9 that evening with drinks and good vibes.

BIRD PETERSON + PRINCE KLASSEN 4 TABLE SET

That's right party people, I am finally back at the Beauty Bar this Friday after a month hiatus. I also will be there Saturday night for the Fourth of July blowout with a special 4 table set with Bird Peterson.

SWAG SURFIN IN THE D

The homie Select (formerly of The Party) sent this over to me the other day, and I finally have a little time to post about it. As a lot of you know, Dallas is the new Houston, only with a lot more white people (wamp wamp). For years southern rap jams were just pouring out of the H, but now Dallas is taking it's turn.


Here are some words from Select...

"I just wanted to share this "DALLAS" mix tape I just finished! Dallas is catching some wreck for some of our local artist...so I figure put out a mix of tunes poppin out here. PLEASE feel free to share or pass along. I will also have a "SUMMER REGGAE" mix tape out this next week. So be on the look out!!! It's going to be a hot summer! believe it!"

SANTI FEVER

So after coming back from hitting the Texas roads with the Fully Fitted posse, I decided to make a couple of quick mixes for future dj sets. Santi would perform her Jay Z collab sans Jigga, and it made more sense to me to just cut the fat. The Dengue Fever joint is something I made for fun.

I am in love with both, Chhom Nimol and Santi White.

COSMO BAKER TWEETS THE TRUTH

It's funny how things work out and this is just another example. I have been feeling so much anxiety lately with sucker duck dj's really stepping on toes, and finally someone pulls cards and says everything I am feeling. Cosmo is one of my favorite djs in the entire world, and he is a huge influence on me. I just wish things weren't so different now.






Sorry for image size fluctuation. I couldn't get them exactly the same, but it's not about presentation, it's about the message.

If you wish to follow Cosmo Baker via Twitter, you can reach him here

SA-RA - NUCLEAR EVOLUTION

Well my guy over at Ubiquity blasted out an email with a nice look at the finished version of the new Sa-Ra record. I have been bumping it for about two months now, and I can easily say that it is one of my top records of the year. The album had been pushed back from it's original release, which would have been this past Tuesday, to June 23rd. I highly recommend going to your local record shop and purchasing it.


Here is a sneak peak from the album...

Sa-Ra - Bitch Baby

YOKOHAMA PORT 150TH ANNIVERSARY

SANTIGOLD AFTER PARTY

This just in, I will be hosting the official Santigold after party with my FULLY FITTED family, Devlin and Darko of Spank Rock this coming Monday at Beauty Bar. So if you are planning on attending the show at Stubb's, make sure to keep your wristband/ ticket to get cheaper entry. The party, however, is open to the public for 5 dollars!!!



Thinks to Sober for the last minute flier!!! So far out.

NORRIT - FEEL THE RHYTHM remix EP

My guys over at Think 2wice aka Brent Tactic and Ben Tactic of Kansas City/ Portland's Tactic sent over the remixed ep of Norrit's FEEL THE RHYTHM this evening. I am not one to post music unless I think it's either A) horrible or B) one of my homies doings... this falls into category B.



I know the kids like it evvy, and this is just that. Good and evvy, done tastefully though. They got a nice list of remixers on board and they have given me the green light to post one of the chunes for free.

If you have any interest in supporting quality people's, make this a must have over at Beatport!!!

1. Feel The Rhythm (Norrit Remix)
2. Feel The Rhythm (Dubbel Dutch Remix)

Ballroom Marfa

Here is the video I made from my recent trip to Marfa in West Texas. Ballroom Marfa had me out to close their weekend benefit that also featured a dinner set by the one and only Esteban Jordan as well as an acoustic set from Lyle Lovett. The theme was "desert disco" and I took it there. Oh and I recorded the set from Marfa and managed to record over it this weekend. I have done that too much lately.




Thanks to Ballroom Marfa for having me out there and everyone I met. Can't wait to go back.

BIKE GRINDING

I know I know, everyone is on some fixed gear ish as of late, but I have to post pics of my bike either way. I have been working on it lately, and am really proud of the turn out. I regret not taking any "before" pics to show the outcome difference, but the "after" pics are far out. By the way, I don't ride a "fixie". I have ridden a single speed for the last five years, and don't plan on converting. Cmon Cmon...





Thanks to Chad and Mellow Johnny's for helping me get it together and the parts. A really big thank you to Willit's for the powder coating job. I am still working on it, so there will be an update soon enough.

The Disco Files 1973-1978: New York's Underground, Week by Week

Wax Poetics has been killing it lately with their always amazing coverage of artists and musicians from decades past and current times. There was a bit of a dry slump where I didn't buy every issue, but for some reason I can't get enough as of late. I think as I get older, archival subject matter is so much more important to me. I am sure a lot of you know that I am a huge disco fan. With the most recent email blast from WP, I learned about a new book that covers the birth of disco. Needless to say, I immediately bought it.



Thumbing through the book, I can tell it is well thought out and seeing that Dj History backs it, there is no going wrong. The odd thing about the book is that I called my local bookshop to see if they had by chance (shop local!), and they said it does not release until September.

Dj History also has a new interview posted on their site with the author of the book, Vince Aletti. Highly recommended, and seems to be rare, so get your hands on it before its gone... or comes out in September?!?!

Buy it at Wax Poetics

:UPDATE:

Bill (Brewster, I am assuming) from Dj History hollered and left a comment about the mix up with the release dates and it's availability. He says it has been available in the UK since early June, and will be released in the US in September. Wax Poetics bought direct from them, and so can you!

Buy it at Dj History: The Disco Files

IGN'NT, IN'T IT?



So living in the South, you know I have heard some dumb songs. You may also know that I love dumb shit. So with that in mind, I have decided to make a weekly post of the most ignorant rap "songs"... which shouldn't be hard these days. This song actually made me think of this new addition to my blog, thanks E-Gutta, this is some IGN'NT SHIT.

Listen here...

E-Gutta - Fine Ass Bitcheses

PYLON - COOL (PRINCE KLASSEN EDIT)


I have been wanting to do this for some time now, and I think I got it right. This song comes off the Gyrate reissue that DFA put out maybe two years ago. Pylon was one of the most overlooked bands of the time period that managed to influence bands that were to become huge including U2 and The B-52s. And the year that seems to keep resurfacing throughout my life, 1983, is the year they broke up the first time around.

Pylon - Cool (prince klassen edit)

TOKYO!



I have been wanting to post this for some time now, but have managed to completely forget about it every time. Michel Gondry and comp have managed to take my breath away once again. Tokyo! is a triptych film tribute to... well, Tokyo. There is not much to go by other than the trailer, but I am almost positive this will be one of my favorite movies of the year. WIYL Paris, je t'aime.

Also, I read somewhere that the Drafthouse will be screening the film before national release.

FULLY FITTED COUCHE TARD DVD

So the video accompaniment to 2005's Couche Tard mix cd from "The Whites" aka Devlin, Darko, and XXXchange is finally about to hit the shelves. Devlin showed me the teaser to the first part of the mix some time ago and I was so stoked on it. They got our dude Mike the 2600 King on the art work tip and it is just as weird as the video inside. The guys over at &/or put the video together, and you can get a sneak peek at what it looks like at their site. Stay tuned for link on Fully Fitted blog and The Lab.

::UPDATE::
Couche Tard is now available on The Lab

(thee) MIKE B GAWN BIG YAN ONE UP

We posted a new Live @ Home mix over at Fully Fitted today. This time (thee) Mike B came through and straight killed in on the dancehall/ reggae tip.


We at Fully Fitted have been getting the homies to do special live one take mixes of tings they are feeling. Almost near twenty and they just keep getting better and better.

Cool Calm Pete makes it good for the foodies

I havent heard the name Cool Calm Pete in a good while, but I am glad he came back in my radar. CC Pete made a mix for the new issue of Theme Magazine that is based on songs that have something to do with food. This is one of those "why didnt I think of that" type things that is almost too good to be true. I have yet to get the new issue of Theme Magazine, but knowing the quality that goes into the publication, I am sure its just as top notch as the last.

SUCKER DUCKS - I GOT THAT NINTENDO WiiD EDITION

Its been a minute since I have done a Sucker Ducks, but I felt I needed to get it back into swing for the James Bond plus 2 (thats hip hop). I have been working on a new mix that I will be putting out for SXSW, and I am kind of excited about it. Also, if you havent already got your SXSW wristband situation taken care, you should handle that now. I have not even looked at the official listings yet, but am pretty excited about JAPAN NIGHT.

I have been non stop bumping the new Dj Morse Code Live at Home mix he made for a few weeks ago. I posted it on Fully Fitted blog mid last week and its just been killing the pod pod.

Click the link above or click the image below and you will be on your way.



Now for some tech nerd ish, this comes courtesy of Engadget via Dayta in Houston. Lacie has gone ahead and just cut the middle man of having a USB drive on your keychain by making USB keys. I know I have bought about three different models of flash drives for my girl and they keep breaking on her, so this might be the ultimate option for those that throw their keys when not in use.


Now for something I am really pumped a out. The new Nintendo DSi is looking like it will have an earlier release date stateside than expected. I first saw this on Play-Asia a few months ago and it was looking like we would be getting it for this coming holiday season, luckily I am seeing pre orders taking place via Game Stop. Nintendo ditched the Game Boy Advanced cartridge slot and put in an SD slot as well as internal memory. There were also talks about implementing an online store where you can download older titles directly to the device. There are amazing new features they have added one, click the link above to learn more.


Ok, one last thing on some Nintendo ish. My girlfriend got me a Flip Mino HD camera for Christmas this last year. I have been using it ever since and highly recommend it since it is the cheapest HD camera on the market (which I am sure will change very soon). Anyway, I frequent message boards for hacks and mods to the camera and came across a great (cheap) plan for building your own steady cam harness. Johnny Lee created the system that is not just for the Mino, but any standard video camera. While doing more research, it turns out Mr. Lee has created more than just the "poor man's steadycam", you can look at his other craftiness here. For those that own a Nintendo Wii, you might want to look at this.

HOT STUFF

I shot this in Chicago on my way to Chinatown...

PARTY FOR THE PEOPLE - inauguration party


I finally got the chance to sit down and edit the video I shot from our inauguration party. Here is what it looked like and doesnt give full justice as to how fun it was. Shout out to everyone that made it happen and Obama family.

BIRTHDAY PARTY WITH TREASURE FINGERS



As some of you know, my birthday was this past weekend on Feb 6th and this year I managed to bring a homie, Mr. Treasure Fingers of Fools Gold Records. I set up the RSVP list for the event and let me say I could not be more happy with the turn out. I was trying some lighting techniques with my newly acquired Flip Mino HD, so here is what you get. There were about five videos I shot, but this one is the best.

SLOW JAMS AND FINGER BANG ANTHEMS

It seems like this winter the mood has shifted here in Texas. Two of the homies have put out (hehe put out) mixes of slow jams that are both cocoa butter smooth and a good change up from the usual relentless club banging stuff I am forced to hear these days.
Dj Sober, of The Party out of Dallas, put his out a few weeks ago that I finally got around to listening to the other day. Satin Sheets is the name, and I wish it came with some cuz these 1000 ct Egyptian cotton joints just are not cutting it anymore.

Grab the mix here...Dj Sober - Satin Sheets Vol. 1




The second mix was surprisingly done by my good homie DJ Mel. He still has not told me happy birthday, but dude is weird either way. This mix makes up for it. He takes on an alias, Mel Cavaricci, and just as nice as those jeans were in 80s, this mix compliments the wing tips and satin shirts. The Motel Mix has the feel of one of those leave the military base and get someone pregnant type nights. Enjoy...
