WHERE ARE YOU CAPTAIN EO!!! ???

Posted in Artists We DIG, Thoughts/Whatevs, U TUBE |

So back in the day when I was still young and impressionable, my parents were cool enough to take me to Epcot Center in Disney World. One of the most amazing attractions I ever experienced up until that point was this 3D movie starring MJ (The Moonwalker) !! The music, dancing, and 3D special effects transcended my young mind and blew away any expectations I had about the King of Pop piloting a George Lucas star-ship! Did I mention it’s directed by Francis Ford Coppola?

I present to you in it’s 2 part glory – - Captain EO.

Michael was a little bit more feminine than I remembered him (good rhyme), but overall the movie captures the young hearts and minds of little children everywhere. And the mini keyboard playing elephant is super dope……

ICE ADVENTURE: THE HIDIOUS SHIRT!!!

2009 - 05.13

OK OK OK OK OK OK – This is a picture of me performing at ICE on Saturday night that was not conventionally introduced to me….I don’t even know the chick in the photo – Infact, a friend of mine (Roy) showed it to me on his Facebook, and was all “hey check out a pic of you that someone I know posted.”

- This is Noteworthy CUZ -

The blue-ish shirt I’m wearing was given to me as a gift by my step-dad. It’s Versace. It also retails for about $400+ (not that I care about shit like that, but it’s worth mentioning I suppose). The final detail I’m leaving out is that I think it’s the UGLIEST fucking shirt ever! SO - Anthony dared me to wear it out Saturday! – He’s all “I don’t think you have balls to do it”. Well this picture confirms it….I may have the balls…but it IS the fucking ugliest shirt ever. TAKE THAT ANTHONY!!!!

So never again?

I even rolled up the sleeves – SMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTH (yikes)

Not here – that’s for sure!

With that said, I want to thank all the women out there who have decided to partake in pro-creation.

But please….be responsible.

DOUBLE NAKED PHOTO DAY!

Cassie and Rihanna – leaked naked pics – on the SAME DAY!

Anthony wonders if they both got together and decided to make it happen this way. Although he argues that Cassie’s is really bad….not flattering…..not too attractive. Rihanna at least had some artistic integrity with her photos. 4 REAL tho – GOOD GIRL GONE BAD (although it can be argued that there are no shots below the waist).

I’m watching the seconds count down before my naked pics surface…..

My gay best friend once told me that he felt bad I had to put my tongue on a clitoris. I told him that it’s extremely enjoyable to most straight men, and in many cases can be a substantial turn on. I chose this picture you see at the top to symbolize what I think a vagina means to him….a large gaping monster ready to swallow you whole. I assured him – it’s not this way!

R E G A R D L E S S

It was a super exciting Friday! I now have access to some old dope sessions that may prove fruitful in the coming month. But ya’ll just have to stay tuned for that. BED-TIME*

BEING Hiiiiiiiii (not) ON LIFE AND LISTENING TO JOHNNY WINTER!!!

2009 - 05.08

Posted in Thoughts/Whatevs |

Johnny-Winter-Captured-Live-285498

Out of Canada tonight! Johnny Winter Live! Anthony is working on some sort of contraption that captures smoke and distributes it evenly! Every sentence is ending in an exclamation!

Seriously though, this guitar playing is blowing my mind….certain folks have been fans since 1965. You could of met him at the venue if you were around too. This is blues! – but dig to how he put a spin on it!…

A shout out to Anika on her B Day last night ! It was a blllllllllllllast -+-+- Anika appears on trizzack 2 (BRIGHT SUN) which is apart of SEX-ED Vol.1 as the super hot voice. She ripped it up, and lived up to her vocal abilities.

But forgive me! – I failed to mention our shortlived run at The Beat 94.5 as the Battle of the Beats champions. Damn that Lady Gaga….what she lacks in hotness, she makes up for in make-out-ability – AND we can’t wait to do a song wit her one day – - - I promise you well in advance that it will = greatness….

+also+

…I created the sexiest beat yet the other night…

and

F i n a l l y -

Thanks again to everyone who voted for us, but really, it’s all about Vol.1, so make sure you download it (http://www.zshare.net/download/582848537efb7db7/)…..and as they say…..the best is yet to come….

MAYER HAWTHORNE (fresh)

2009 - 05.04

Recently, I’ve become a fan of a record label you may or may not have heard of out of L.A. called Stones Throw. They’re probably the most known for housing such dope hip hop artists as Madlib, and DOOM, however they have captivated me with a super fresh new artist known as Mayer Hawthorne. It reminds me of Little Anthony and the Imperials type shit from the 60′s!!! So flyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy and he’s got from crazy vocal harmonies goin’ on.

Let’s do a track together Mayer! Enroll in SEX-ED!

He’s pretty much the blackest white boy besides myself (and Hall and Oates).

beatdotcom1

If you live in Vancouver (or even if you don’t), tune into The Beat 94.5 and vote for us starting at 8 pm tonight. We are going head to head with the Pussycat Dolls!

LOL!!!!!!!!!

I think we should win based solely on the fact that SEX-ED is cohesive futuristic music machine planning on changing the game, while the Pussycat Dolls all hate each other because Nicole Sherzinginakjadkjf is a selfish bitch who wants to go solo but can’t cuz no one is interested in her….

Shhhhh…..

WE SCORES!!!!

2009 - 05.02

Posted in Thoughts/Whatevs, U TUBE |

BACK IN THE GAME!!! – So I’ve been out of commission with Strep Throat (oh my) but lucky enough to attend Game One – Series 2 -The Playoffs – CANUCKS V.S. BLACKHAWKS

Someone such as myself who isn’t the least bit interested in hockey was persuaded to join in on the festivities, as Vancouver (home) scored a winning goal with one minute to spare on the clock ! (I’m not sure if that’s exactly how it happened, but the story is being modified to add excitement).

OPEN YOUR MOUTH!

FINAL SCORE – 5-3 CANUCKS!

(why does it say canucks is spelled wrong in spellcheck???)

I’m HIII on Penicillin, Advil, and throat candies, in preparation for my percussion performance at Canvas tonight in Gastown.

————————————

What a fantastic Saturday! I spent a large percentage of the day playing my supa cool electric drums I rented from Long $ Mcquade. Beats are spilling from my pores! Here is a clip of a kick pattern I was working on. Could this groove be apart of a future track?….these are questions only God knows the answers too….
