today is tuesday. horay.

what's up lovers?  i am so not into it today.  last nite the wine was flowing like wine.  jesus.  maybe not a good idea for monday. perhaps, but it's not something i'm going to contemplate right meow.

nothing new around these parts, sadly. i am excited though about things i cannot buy but wantwantwant and that is important. it makes me feel quite productive when i am on the internets trolling for nothing at all whatsoever.  it's like panning for gold.  except i think that might be more fun than staring at a computer. 

saddles shoes are obviously back in style.  back in the olden days when i was a wee lass i would wear the shit out of some saddle shoes cuz moms is old and she thought they were classic. well how about that! one thing she was right about. vans came out with some sneaker style saddle shoes that are close to the hard sole kind as it gets, and it's probably a lot easier to ride bikes in also.  karmaloop has them for 55 bones. holla!

should i ... or shouldn't i? ...

also, i'm mucho excited about some delicious stones throw releases that will be in paws by months end.  horay.  numero uno is mayer hawthornes soul with a hole vol. 1 on this album he mixed old soul 45's.  should be pretty sweet!  and of course, madlib's medicine show #1 before the verdict  horay.   this next month is going to be very good for music.  and of course .. the highly anticipated new amerykah part 2.  fuck ya!  but that isn't until february, so i can't get too excited yet.  

james pants golden oldies psychedelic rundown.

dudes. srsly. friday nite was the show of the year. no lie.

I mean, where to begin. I can't believe I was witness to the creme de la creme of an evening like friday. two paws up for sure. um. okay, so I guess we can start at the beginning??

m64. silliness all around, but of course they did wonderfully. ragen did an acapella of stakes is high, which was so sick! they also did their rendition of house of the rising sun and I love that! seeing them is always such a pleasure because they are so amazing.

anyway, then ben darwish and his trio came on. honestly. whatever. it slowed down everything. I love me some ben darwish, but his set was sooooo serious. jesus. I almost died just sitting there.

the best part was james pants! producer and dj to be envied!!! but he went on after ben darwish which was a travesty. except it made for good jokes. honestly, you had to have been there to really understand the hilariousness of his presence on stage. he essentially put on like he had stage fright in a major way and tried to give the appearance of being super nervous or something. hahahaha!! for example, he told us he was going to play his next 'chart topper' and played a song by the doors. karaoke style, son! it was hilarious. what else ... oh, I don't know. it was just so funny. I don't think people were really understanding that what he was doing was a joke, i mean people were straight up booing at the end! ahahha. fucking classic. kez said it best, that it was a 45 minute inside joke. there were like ten people laughing. we made up about 6 of those people. okay, there was more than ten, but whatever. people had no clue. I saw justin after his set and he actually came just for james pants. heehee!! too bad, son! but I think if I paid for the show I would have been pleased :]]

mayer hawthorne was so adorable!!! great energy for those grumpy bitches who didn't absolutely love james pants. he did some record signings, blah blah! great show.

oh, my stupid diana camera fell off the damn hook in the bathroom at jimmy mak's!!! BALLS. so that's that! I need a camera with a flash for reals. I'm thinking a new lomo would do me good.

anyway! des and I went to the mfnw after party. two paws down. we got there relatively early. all the food was gone. it felt so sterile in there. the room with the music was pretty beautiful though. we hung out for a minute and clowned around with the boys. it was coo.




this picture is ridic!

mayer hawthorne, et al.

I don't know about you guys, but i'm amped about tomorrow evening's festivities! I'm only doing one MFNW show this year and it's going to be so tight. m64, ben darwish, james pants and mayer hawthorne at jimmy mak's! and for 10 clams (10!). horay!

I really need to pick up mayer hawthorne's new record asap, cuz he makes me feel all fuzzy inside.



harry perry!!!! how you know about that mr. hawthorne??!
