Rock The Boat Pics + Super Smash Bros.

Rock the Boat was a blast on Saturday! Lots of Michael. Lots of dancing. Lots of questionable "straight" guys. One was a dead-ringer for the hot guy from Glee. Twass fun. Special thanks to Jake and everyone at Wake Up and Dream for having me. Here are some pics and I'll throw it a nice little jam at the end for your aural pleasure.

Miike Snow!

Sorry blogging has been slow- last weekend was crazy w/ 3 DJ gigs and work has been nuts. Michael has kinda taken over all forms of media however, and I didn't want to compete. But the blog must go on.

I had been meaning to blog about Miike Snow (Andrew Wyatt, Christian Karlsson, and Pontus Winnberg), which you may know by their work as Bloodshy & Avant. They produced for Britney, Kelis, Madonna, Kylie Minogue, and Wyatt just co-produced Dan Merriweather's album w/ Mark Ronson. But now they have their own album which came out on May 12th and I'm digging it. His voice reminds me a little bit like Passion Pit's lead singer, but their music is a little more poppy and not as snyth-heavy, but still very dancey.

Click Here to stream and download their music- I especially like the Fake Blood Remix of Animals and Burial!

MIIKE SNOW

who is our idol now?

The King of Pop is Dead- I might cry... RIP Michael Jackson

i'm seriously kinda upset about this... the man was brilliant. needless to say, i'll be playing lots of michael this weekend. rest in peace, the king of pop.

Busy Weekend Schedule

Whew- there's a lot going on in the District this weekend. You'll have some decisions to make, and plenty of opportunities to come jam out w/ me.

THURSDAY

Poprocks at Duplex Diner!

I'll be filling in for Chris Tassa. Bozick and I are a deadly combo- lots of raving and I got my dancin' shoes ready for tonight

FRIDAY

CB RADIO

I'm back at the Diner w/ Bradley, which is always a blast! This party is starting a little bit earlier- like 8ish or so. I think it's someone's bday?

SATURDAY

Now this is where things get a little tricky. I'm DJ'ing on a boat for a charity event and for the children. Summer Camp's stage extravaganza Crack is at Town, and Shift is at Cobalt. There are a number of ways to do this- if you're feeling charitable, come rock out on the boat with me. If you've never seen Crack before- GO! It's hilarious and suburbia themed this time. And Shift is definitely a good way to end the night. AND DJ Lil'el is guest DJ'ing at Cobalt- which i think will be cool

So good luck navigating this weekend. Be safe and have fun.

Rock the Boat Daily Throwback 6/24

Yo- if you haven't heard, I'm DJ'ing this Saturday ON A BOATTT! It's called Rock The Boat, and it supports my buddies' non-profit called Wake Up and Dream. I think I'm going to play Aaliyah's "Rock the Boat" and Andy Samberg and T-Pain's "I'm on a Boat" on loop the whole time. So you should come- proceeds are for the children!

Get your tickets quickly, fools! And this brings me to today's Daily Throwback, my favorite Aaliyah song (RIP), and her last video ever. I miss her everyday.

REST IN PEACE, BABY GURLLL
AALIYAH- ROCK THE BOAT

A special Poprocks at the Duplex Diner this Thursday!

So good news and bad news about Poprocks this Thursday.. Bad news first: Chris Tassa cannot DJ that night. However, the good news is that I'll be filling in! Bozick tells me our mission is to create a dancemosphere using "rebel rhythms, summer jams, and candy." Commence music (love) making.

Daily Throwback(s) 6/22

Sorry for the lapse in posting- weekends are tough! Happy Summer Solstice yesterday and Happy Icelandic Music Day? The Music Slut posted this today: Iceland names top 100 Icelandic albums. Lots of Sigur Ros and Bjork and Mum and some of my other Icelandic faves. Since I missed yesterday, I'll give both a Bjork and Sigur Ros track :)

Sigur Ros- Viorar Vel Til Loftarasa

Next I'll give you a classic Bjork song. She's just incredible. Elissa Otten (SETON Middle School wassup!) gave me a bunch of her cds back in the day and i've been hooked ever since.
