next up: washed out jordache jeans and leopard print snap bracelets

After the Arcade Fire show the next best thing would be World Music yah?

It may be early to talk about what I'm doing in two weeks, but I just can't wait. I thought August was the best month of this year, after the CSS and Daft Punk show, but I dunno, October is giving August a run for it's money.

With Terminal 5 being new I'm excited to see the venue. I always hate looking at those seating charts venues have showing you an aerial view of the inside. Never seems like what I expected. Anyyywho. There's a pretty tight article on M.I.A. in Fact Magazine, a UK mag I found while perusing the internet (it's pretty awesome, btw) which talks about her new album Kala and where she's come from since Arular. This shit will be hot! Pictures & Video ... all that goodness to come later. ;)

.... Who wouldn't wanna see a lil Diplo action that night?

.... Well, maybe Maya.

ooooo weee!

YouTube Honors & Pitchfork (2 Updates)

Below is the screen shot of "Honors" that the Arcade Fire video I posted just yesterday has received. Compared to some of the videos I have already posted this is too cool to be true. I'm truly pumped. :)



# 25 - Most Viewed (Today 10.8.07) AND # 22 Top Favorites (Today 10.8.07) in the Music category.

*UPDATE # 1*

The Mother of all music blogs posted my video. PitchFork. As my friend Jazz said, "that's pretty cool, you got to capture that moment." Capture indeed. Thanks to AF for my moment in the sun. It's so nice and hot out here. ;)

*UPDATE # 2*

As if 1:59pm my video is:

# 13 Most Viewed (Today 10.8.07) Music Category
# 10 Top Favorites (Today 10.8.07) Music Category
# 7 Most Linked (Today 10.8.07) Music Category

Ok, ok. Enough gloating, but when Pitchfork says your video is "One for the permanent record indeed." - Mark Richardson you really can't get off cloud nine.

Arcade Fire is playing on my camera

So last night I was given the lucky option to attend a free LCD Soundsystem/Arcade Fire show. This being my first time to Randall's Island and I wasn't too impressed. As I got in line to the Stairway to port-a-potty heaven I looked out along the field and saw just how cruddy it was. No matter, S.Wan aka Swan got me free tickets to my first LCD SS and AF show, so I couldn't complain. Little did I know this would be Arcade Fire's last concert in NYC for two years!

The video I got during the show doesn't really compare to this video below that I captured right after the show, when Arcade Fire decided to have a surprise encore right next to the stage. They covered the Violent Femmes' "Kiss Off." Lucky for me the BrooklynVegan posted the vid and gave me credit. Later on I found out the video is posted on Stereogum. As of right now, it's the 7th most commented article on Stereogum. Yup. All I can say is I'm pumped. The days of me moonlighting as a video reporter have begun. ha.

Amen for my camera. I love that thing.

Thanks BV and Stereogum. ;)

hmm. "actha comin'?"

No real segway into this but, according to this website, these are the lyrics to "Human After All":

We are human... after all
'Atcha' comin'... after all
[x8]

Human, human, human, human,
Human, human, human, human,
Human, human, human, human,
Human, human, human after all
[x7]

I know those silly robot Parisians may not know English all to well, but "Atcha Coming?" Even they wouldn't be stupid enough to say "Atcha Coming."

Go to the site and look for yourself. Who doesn't love the internets?

lily & luella

How cute, metallics mixed with flowers. Luella got it right. Lily looks smashing. Interesting that Lily lost a bunch of weight and now goes to fashion shows and has a deal with a major hair product... But I'm not HATING!

I just had a Reese Witherspoon moment circa Election. Nose flaring, bloody palms, hair all awry.
