Doh

Damn, a battle of wits has begun...it's unfortunate the NJ cats are unarmed. I still don't get why they feel the need to come on here and talk shit...I haven't been on this board in 6 months and the last time I was on, some dumb ass, g'd out, muscle head guido from NJ was talking shit then too...guess they have nothing better to do. Let's hear some more rants and raves about how great Tempts is...sweet....I can hear the fucked up, room temperature IQ accents already.

Yo, G-man...long time no see...did you run that marathon yet? Can you go out now? I'm getting ready to start a new lounge night at Alto Palato in a few weeks...hope you can swing by at some point...at least for the opening night...should be tight. Now for this thread...yes, it's 3 of Clubs...under the Bargain Clown Center sign on the northwest corner of Santa Monica and Vine...and right up the street (just south of Fountain) is On Vine, the fondue joint at 1235 N. Vine (Gumby, I think Jen is having her bday party there Saturday...I told her it was the perfect joint for it but I'll be in Chicago this weekend). I actually dj'd a friend's bday party there a few weeks ago...place is tight...same owners as Beauty Bar and Star Shoes...so it has the Euro feel, owner's from London...funky ass lounge though with dj's, etc. and that upstairs opium den-esque area with bean bags and pillow, kewl projections up there too...but yo, keep your eye out for Soma...your aural muscle relaxer...hehe. Peace.

Cool, thanks for the 411. Damn, I need to talk to Derrick about an event I'm doing next year...I wish Dayhota was getting back before Sunday so she could make that introduction...I think I'll have to hit it up regardless...and Naked Music...shit, I better email Bruno now to get hooked up. I didn't know Spundae did a night in Chicago too...damn, those fools must be makin' loot...but I'll have to pass on them. DC and NM sound like the ticket...so both of these are at Zentra? It's 21+ right? Can you hook a brutha up? A little out of town promoter courtesy at the door? Oh yea, hit me up at dave@dlishproductions.com and I'll give you my digits and give me a shout when you're in town...give me a few days and I'll try to hook you up with some parties and guest lists, etc. here. Street Scene is in SD that weekend...that's a kick ass 3 day festival...www.street-scene.com

Damn, do you have anything going on this weekend? I'm coming out there this weekend to visit friends and looking for something to get into...that's funny...I know Roy (played a gig for me in LA a few years ago when he was staying out here for a stint) and I met Jevon at the 2000 WMC...cool cat.

You need to ask closer to that date...things change in this town weekly...

Hey...where the hell have you been? Fuel (well Nacional) re-opened Wednesday...it's not quite done yet, but is definitely a unique set up. Those fuckers better let me in there to do a night.

Ok, why does a song being in a commercial ruin the song for you? It's still the same song, with the same beat, etc. Also, these are hip commercials...trying to reach a younger, hip audience. Also, it's helping this music reach a market and people that might not ever be introduced to it another way...which in turn helps create a positive outlook on our subculture, our music, etc. I think it's a good thing....especially when it's well done as these commercials are. I'm taking baby steps towards being a music supervisor on movies and I want to put out hip soundtracks with underground music...does that mean that if I put in a phat track in a movie, that it will ruin it for you too?

Yo Gman...where/how ya been? Started your training yet? I'm going backpacking this weekend up in the sequoia national park...with the help of some shroomytunes...decided to pass on Coachella this year...time to be one with nature.

"Days Go By" by Dirty Vegas. Yea, it is a cool song. Check out the video: http://dirtyvegas.tripod.com/ Have you noticed all the electronica being used for commercials these days? A lot of them for cars too. Orb, Thievery Corp., Wiseguys, Crystal Method, Propellerheads...that's just a few off the top of my head that I can still visualize the commercial...

I'm going...but will not be renting an RV this year...I still have flaccid ashbacks about that adventure to the first one.

I agree whole heartedly. It's the same here in LA. You should be able to go out and be comfortable, clothing, shoes, etc. Just because you're dressed that way doens't mean you're not gonna spend money. The club owners wanna make their establishments seem exclusive or have hot people dressed impeccably, but that's bullshit. People should be able to get in anywhere wearing sneaks and comfy clothes. I hate it when owners pull that shit in clubs I promote for...most of my peeps could give two shits about how someone is dressed...it's what's inside the person, not what's draped around. So, you hit the nail on the head. Peace.

Nope

Werd...Dave knows how to do it right. Anyone hit up the URB boat cruise? That's always my favorite party. Good talent, cruising around on a big ass boat...great for networking.

I've never heard of him, but I just saw a thread about the Ultra Party at the WMC in the Miami forum that talked about his set there.

Hey, at least you're there. This is the first year in the past 5 that I haven't made it. It was either Fiji for NYE or Miami for WMC and I didn't throw a party this year, so it was Fiji. How is it this year? I know a lot of heads that didn't go this year, plus a few parties I heard were cancelled this year. I'll be back next year for sure though. Out of curiosity, have you been to any LA parties? Those are the ones I usually go to, plus some label parties that I work with, but I was just wondering what you thought of LA promoters or the LA sponsored parties, like the giant hotel, hula groove, urb, etc.

Welcome back hun. This place is dead.

But don't you know that if I ever entered your lair I'd never want to escape? Bwah-haha-ha.

Hey hun...long time no talk. Did you ever find a new job? Still moving too I see. Hit me up when you're back in the mix...I'm back to doing weeklies...not sure for how long...at least through the summer. Nadia...I'm gonna be in your hood Saturday. A friend of mine just moved into a new place in Newport and is having a beach party Saturday afternoon (probably into the evening) and I'm gonna bring my turntables down and do some shit on the beach for it. You should swing by...it'll be a cool group of headz. Email me if you want directions.

Da Ta Daaaa!!! There is now.

Nope, I'm taking a break this year...well, not by choice...it was either Fiji for NYE or Miami for WMC...I've been to Miami for the past 5 years and never been to Fiji so that was an easy decision to make...I'll be back next year and should be having a party there.

Gra'ma'ma...how have you been? How are things in ***burrrr*** Pit-Pit-Pitsburgh???? When are you coming back for a visit???? We miss your sexiness out here damn it.

A rare appearance from the founding member of the Icelandic group Gus Gus will be throwing down a funky dj set this Friday. Main Room: Gus Gus (dj set-midnight-2am) Jesse Brooks Lounge: Mo'Negro Mr. Jackson The Spot @ The Key Club 9039 Sunset Blvd. email thespot@dlishproductions.com for discounted guest list.

I know you did hun, I was talking about in here...there's all these newbies and none of the original peeps. And you know I'm not going to Miami...the first time in years. It was either Fiji or Miami...I think you would have picked Fiji too. You better come represent this week damn it. My good friend from my hometown and days when we both got started in the scene, Eddie Amador will be rippin' it up. Plus, we're having an open bar, happy hour for the headz that can make it out early, from 8:30-9:30...free booze and it should be all peeps you know.

Hey G-man...speaking of pool sessions, this Saturday a friend of mine is bartending this happy hour from 3-6PM at the Tropicana Pool at the Roosevelt Hotel across from the Mann Theater...right in our neighborhood...if the weather's nice that day, wanna hit it up? Then go to the Wicked party later?
