Mini gold & pager

I'm not at home right now (and have none of my music with me), but I did just bump into this video of Maysr's little boy, Tao, doin' his thing with The Cool Kids joint.

The video is not on youtube, so just log into facebook and peep it here.

Eliana on that AA

Crazy timing that Szeto throw Eliana's American Apparel-ness up... it was just recently that her model/magazine worthyness (thanks, facebook "recently changed display pictures" feed) came up during a 4am junk food/youtube filled chill session with my West coast half.

And another one from last year (that I only saw now for the 1st time).

House Party

A few friends were celebrating their birthdays yesterday, so it was an evening of house party hopping. Felt good to stay away from the clubs for a night and just have 35 too many casual wine glasses with good peoples.

Before I go on about the night, here's the related song - a great Apt One edit of Fred Wesley's (pictured above) "House Party".

K so the first spot was a formal dress affair with food everywhere. I was on a heavy pinot grigio tip and spent 10+ minutes trying to convince some guy that the red plastic covered round cheese with the strawberry leaf on top of it was actually a mini tomato (and thus, should be simply thrown into a mouth and eaten in a single shot). He didn't bite (yay pun), left to go sit on his girlfriend's lap, and thouroughly examined her previously acquired food choices with some next level tonsil hockey. I dipped to washroom mission it before heading out and ended up waiting in line way too long (the friend who was coming to the next spot with me toilet-blocked everyone so she could "toothbrush the red wine purpleness out" of her mouth). So while standing in the narrow hall and catering to the "so your name is actually Igor?" questions, I overhead the following conversation to my left (which I had to write up and save in my phone):

Guy1: I'm gonna call you Russell Brown.
Guy2: Why?
Guy1: Cause you're a dude that totally reminds me of him.
Guy2: Ummmmm, no.
Guy1: Shut up Russell Brown.

Midnight hit, the birthday girl got her song and cake in face, and we were off to the next place (hotel party for an out of town friend celebrating her champagne birthday). Everyone was already beyond tipsy off the bubbly, and I arrived just on time to catch the uninvited out of town randos that later gave me a massive stomach ache from laughter galore. One, dressed in a purple silk shirt and grey suit, introduced himself as "Prince". Simply, just, Prince. When someone asked "Prince what though?", he LL Cool J licked his lips and replied "of Ghana?". An unidentified female goes "uhhhh no, I know that royal family", to which Prince's Borat looking unbottoned pink shirt bodyguard (who had a shorter hairy chested follower dressed just like him standing by his side) replied with the most awkwardly angry, yet confused, burning stare. Kinda like he wanted to tell her to shut her filthy mouth, but couldn't quite figure out how to say it in english. Anywaaaaaaaaays, it was actually their posse leader that made us shit ourselves with chuckles. He was brown, really happy, and bursted into random Punjabi music video behaviour every few minutes. His name escapes me. I told him he reminded me of Saturday afternoon Omni Tv specials. He said he actually has the uncle of the star actor from Slumdog Millionaire on his facebook. And that he speaks "like five to seven languages". He also tried grinding with a male friend of ours while explaining how, when clubbing in India, he can only pick up 3 out of every hundred girls.

"Thasss like, 3...4 percent... ONLY! And I don't like even fucking get it because my mum has always said I'm the only one in the family that got the best non-hairy genes".

That comment led to this phone-saved convo:

Omni Tv: And my girlfriend too, even. She gets all thisss goosebumps when I massage her. She's South American and hairy and they rise when I massage her.
Corey: And what do you say to that?
Omni Tv: I DON'T GIVE A FUCK CAUSE SHE SO SEXY!!!


I leave you with that. There was a camera floating around, so as soon as I see some pics surface I'll make sure to thrown some in here (for visual support).

I waaant

I'm prettty much tired of winter and want to start summer shoe shopping.

Alexis Holm and Anna Stenvi's past collections (few of my fave pieces pictured above) were on point, so I'm looking forward to the new season Gram releases from the Stockholm duo.

Happy House

One of 2008's best releases (in my opinion), courtesy of DFA's John MacLean (The Juan MacLean). Such a nice clean dose of classic house piano chords and disco lovin' vocals.

Everyone should have this song in their life/hard drive.

Peep & buy the release here.

Check the b-side Lee Douglas remix of the song here.

And while on the above site, grab "The Twelves - Be My Crush (The Juan MacLean's B-LIVE Rio Mix)" at this page.

And look out for MacLean's "The Future Will Come" album, due for release later this year.

Oh, Cesaria

I absolutely love this. Maybe due to my obsession with Evora's voice, or the Cuban sound in general. Maybe Carl Craig's handclaps and subtle builds did me in. Maybe all of the above?

Controllerism?

This is some next shit.

CLIPSE concert tonight!

We got the Virginia homies Malice & Pusha T in the house tonight. Doors are at an early 7:30pm, some $25 advance tix are still left (I believe), and if the boys throw down like last time around, you'll shank yourself if you miss the shit.

Full info in the facebook event.

Straight Goods presents: FRENZY - Mixed by Drastik

WE ARE FINALLY RELEASING THE MIX!!!

After countless manhours and sleepless nights, Drastik has finally escaped his cocoon (that is his room) and agreed to release his newest mix. The only thing more painful than the process was the sitting on it once completed.

Much like the name and cover art suggest, the hour long compilation is a straight up genre-hopping rollercoaster ride. All in proper flow and stride, the collection embraces Drastik's favourite sounds of past and present - from classic intros, short vocal samples, and single guitar riff loops, to current dancefloor heaters, blends, and synth-infused bangers. With a turntablist approach to cuts, drops, and track transitions... this musical ride showcases the often forgotten fundamental methods of molding countless sounds (without having to rely on software galore).

The Straight Goods camp is pleased to present:
