I'm a Birthday Party DJ

From My Music Intelligence Quiz



You are a rabid consumer of music. You get a rush every time you hear something new but remain faithful to those artists you love. Your music collection represents who you are and what you care about and your home may even bear the tell-tale signs of your affections – posters, old band t-shirts and the odd music biography. But you aren't a completist, you know what you like and make sure you have it. Simple as that. To expand your repertoire, perhaps there are some genres that you'd benefit from giving a little more attention to – perhaps now is the time to hear something new or get hold of that missing album from your collection.

Photo Essay

This is graffiti in the Dogpatch, next to my neighborhood.



This is what I drink.



Just kidding, that would be gross.

This is the bass at my desk. I play Cissy Strut, Chameleon, Bullet in the Head, and Led Zeppelin on it.




This is my co-worker Jason's drum kit. It was 10ft away from my old desk, but now it is only 7ft away from my new desk. I can now play three different beats in 4, and one beat in 3.



This is my friend Matt at a party.




This is my friend Gareth at the same party.



This is when Geoff came into the party and Matt saw him.



This is a cat I met at a different party.




This is the view from J. Ma's rooftop patio.

WOW

Who remembers Opie & Anthony? I never listened to them except when I had a summer job working maintenance for my town. And why did I listened to them? Because my co-workers loved them. And who were my co-workers, you ask? Only the finest men ever assembled on God's green earth:

Mo
Steve
Irwin
Hill-Billy.


I won't even go into details, but if you ever want to know, ask in person.

Anyway, Opie and Anthony had a thing called "WoW" and one of my coworkers put a "WoW" sticker on the back of a ride-mower. that didn't go over to well with the locals.

Here is my "Wow" for today.


"Charlie Bit Me."

Need a Video?

If you have a band, are in the LA area, and would like to have a music video made on a very reasonable budget, please consider contacting me and we'll try to make something happen.

This is an unofficial video for MGMT. The guy and the girl are not MGMT.

However, though I can't say much, you can expect to see the guy and the girl in this video in the OFFICIAL vid for MGMT's "Electric Feel."

Oh Really!?!?!?

Thirsty Thursday

Here's something to quench it.

Take 1
Didn't she do "Sonny Came Home?"

Take 2
Aren't these guys Canadian?

Ahhh... here's what you've been looking for.
Notice the bass line stutter on the first 4 measures... classic.

I am seeing Dark Meat tonight at the Hemlock
