ride the naked highway!

hey there everyone! check out the new video for the new single from naked highway, a local nyc electro/new wave band comprised of one half by my buddy sy! the video is wonderfully suggestive and quite playful while the song is a bit on the sexy, languid side. it's an awesome juxtaposition and the video was directed by my friend sy himself! the song is called 'wet like sweat' and will be sure to raise your temperature a bit for sure.

and you can but the track from itunes here

play the gas mask kazoo!

evil evil! this is absolutely brimstone! check it out!

go whoopi! bill o' reaaaallly strikes again

found this on huffington post and had to share it... Whoopi Knocks O'Reilly Over Helen Thomas Comment: "If You're Gonna Do Humor, Learn How To Do It"

During an appearance on Bill O'Reilly's show Tuesday night, Whoopi Goldberg criticized the Fox News host for calling longtime White House reporter Helen Thomas "the Wicked Witch of the East" last week. O'Reilly, who previously spent a good amount of time on air defending his remarks as well as his impression of Thomas, asked the "View" co-host "do you have a beef with me of some kind about Helen Thomas?" Goldberg responded by saying she found the remark out of character for O'Reilly and that while he insisted it was just a joke, it would have helped if he actually knew how to be funny.

Watch the clip:

whoopi is the best!

here's the original clip of bill o'reilly doing what he does best...being an asshole!

walking miles away in madonna's shoes?

i'm sure mr. rauhofer played these last weekend at pascha in nyc...i listened to one and was pleasantly surprised but not completely satisfied....it's nothing new...but i'm sure if there was still a place to circuit queens to go regularly they would eat this up!

madonna - miles away (peter rauhofer remixes)

the real excitement comes from a new tiga track that has been exploding on the internets not only because of its quirky subject matter and cunty but kooky production but because the female vocals are rumoured to be none other than....madonna's!!!! check it out and see what you think...it really could be anyone...even a guy whose voice was manipulated...but if you google 'tiga shoes madonna' you'll find more than a dozen blogs claiming it's her!!! i think the track is 'dope' haha and really, really, really hope it's her!

tiga - shoes (radio rip) (link removed by request)


the chanel gun shoes she wore to her film premiere that got everyone in a tizzy

winona forever!

here's a lovely scene from 'heathers' a cult classic that came out during the era of my new first sunday of the month party called 'beetlejuice' at nowhere bar. relive the moments in this video at my soire! next installment is sunday, march 1st!





and here's the same scene...only done by puppets!

give it 2 me again!

in honor of the extension of the sticky and sweet tour by madonna (the highest grossing tour by a solo artist ever), someone posted the leaked backdrop video for the finale of 'give it 2 me'. it's amazing! there's so much you miss when you are at the show it's so awesome to see this in its entirety without her electrifying performance to distract you....enjoy!!

chauncey treats - three for thursday

first off is a definitely classic in the chauncey repertoire that has been reissued recently with some brand new remixes. this is the first of the lot i have found. it's a song by shakedown that i used to love to play back before i was an actual dj and used to make cds for when i bartended at east of eighth restaurant. the vocalist is terra deva...one of my favourite voices in house music.

shakedown - at night (shiny remix)


and the second is a new track i just found that definitely has an old school house element to it but overlaced with the new, fresh razoredged electro vibe to it. it's also in line with the theme of everyone's favourite holiday, 'valentine's day'. it's by a relatively new group called lioness remixed by mansion, who never disappoints.
enjoy!

lioness - my heart (mansion remix)



and last but not least, here's another danny tenaglia classic featuring vocals by celeda with a fresh remix by scott wozniak that definitely mellows the track a bit but still maintains that upfront and sexy vibe that the original had in truckloads.

danny tenaglia feat. celeda - music is the answer (scott wozniak re-edit)

muto beuno!!

this is absolutely fantastic! not just the amazing process behind this grandiose piece of art but the content involved. i especially enjoy how the objects and movements that he had no control over like the cars and the people helped add to the bizarreness of the entire piece! chauncey likes!


check it owwt!

30 days...i did it!

so i did it! today marks the 30th day without drinking...jack daniels or any other liquor. i must admit i did have two beers back when i first started the abstinence but it was honestly because i was at a friend's house and that's all there was to drink besides water (yeah right! haha). honestly, the only two times i really was craving a shot were the two times i djed in that time period. i'm happy because i wasn't sure i could do it. i've even challenged myself by going out to bars a decent amount and i wasn't even tempted. i'm proud of myself and you should be too! haha. my goal was to do 30 days and then possibly go back to drinking moderately but i'm not sure i really need to have a drink. i might just have a beer occasionally but jack daniels definitely made me messy many a time and i'm most likely better off without him. being hypoglycemic it also propelled me into mood swings and harsh moments of self doubt and negativity. my skin also looks great...i've lost some weight and i feel just dandy!

cheers!

(now if i could only stop drowning babies in the hudson river or stop pushing cranky, old men down the escalator while amidst that hellish transfer at 51st street!)

masturbation

i feel better already!

there was a time...the time is now

there was a time when i would wear polyester plaid pants and not think twice about it. there was a time when i would randomly paint my nails black and even one time i painted them electric blue and although i slightly winced if someone saw them, it was nowhere near the tremor in my gut i get when the shirt i decide to wear nowadays has a slogan on it that might be offensive to one of the thousand people i may cross paths with while i'm wearing it. there was a time when i was so much more confident in my convictions...there was a time i lived my life with sensible caution decorated with a somewhat fearlessness and abandon. there was a time when i would go on a rollercoaster without my friends begging me and teasing me to do it. there was a time i used to really live my life. that life is so far behind me for some strange reason and my job right now is to find out why so i can pierce the beast and paint over my yellow.

now i've never been a frat boy thrillseeker who gets a rush from being in a car that is driving too fast, nor have i gotten sheer joy of the thought of bungee jumping or jumping out of a plane. i was never that rough and tough kid and i kind of figured i would never be that adult either. i instead found much excitement and passion in the adventures i would embark on within my mind. i would create whole new worlds and ideas and i would often find myself devoured in the possibilites of my self inflicted fantasy world. but there was a time i had a total of ten body piercings and only five of them were in my earlobes. i still have my nipple ring intact...all that remains of my days of metallic adornment. now i knew that i wouldn't have them forever but i really imagined that the wild things that i did would be overshadowed by the even wilder things i would do in the future. i thought i would have travelled extensively, but alas i have never left the country. i thought i would have starred in a variety of plays and musicals in new york city, yet my only appearance on a manhattan stage was about thirteen years ago and it was prophetically the role of a pissed off actor who got a shitty role as a sheep. i also thought i would have finished college and would be a teacher by now, yet the only teachers in my family are my two older brothers. i thought i would have had a history of lovers that lasted too long, yet my longest relationship has been the better part of three or four months. i have recently been reconnected with a lot of people from my past, people i went to high school with and people i went to college with, people i have shared my passions with and people i have shared my heart with also. without them knowing, they have obviously sparked this desperate search inward to pull out the person i once was so they can beat down the person i have become. but instead of thinking and worrying about what i would tell them of my accomplishments since we last spoke and being fearful to find my stories pale in comparison to theirs, i have to do this for myself and my legacy to be legendary. one of my biggest flaws has always been the poison of being obsessed with what others think of me. since i have spent so much time with that caustic concern, i have spent little time making myself into the person i would be proud to discuss.

there have been many more disappointments in my life...some that i have forgotten and some that i don't care to mention, but i'm not writing this to make a tally to reread and sulk about while doing so. i have also had quite the myriad accomplishment from time to time and am left wondering why the negative always outweighs the positive. i was a good kid and honestly never really got into any sort of trouble except for maybe pushing the envelope creatively in high school and almost getting a story i wanted published in the creative writing newsletter censored or dropping out of college after a few semesters to work at a deadend job that i had mastered years earlier. i have always been respectful to my elders and have always tried my best to help out a friend and even a stranger. good will and charity have always been a part of my existence and i am sure they will be forever. what leaves me in disarray is my complete lack of confidence, my immature way of handling important situations and my talent for procrastination. i am constantly questioning my talents and accolades despite the awards and acknowledgement i may recieve. i hold in my frustrations and anger in daily relationships and employment situations and let them fester until they transform into a cancer of self destructiveness and a grovelling for sympathy. i hold off on calling the person who can help me, the person who can hire me, the person who just might love me for who i am and not who i think they think that i am until the opportunity hurries by to the next persistent and willing recipient. i constantly wait for my shitty situations to become so dire that i am left wallowing in self pity and emotional and monetary poverty before i try to do anything to relieve myself of these common burdens that the common person struggles with and overcomes on a daily basis. instead of fighting or pursuing what i deserve i sit and wait to be the last person offered the job because i claim i don't want to come across as cocky or arrogant. such pathetic excuses...why have i learned them all? after all i have been through in my life and all the true manmade miracles and authentic determination and passion i have witnessed, why do i still think i will somehow acquire those magical powers i wanted when i was young and will suddenly have my wish granted. am i stuck in an obsolete fairytale that i forgot to keep writing? have i lost the hunger and passion that i once reveled in and have i settled for simple wonderings and what ifs? why am i so lazy? i obviously still have the hunger and passion because i wouldn't be writing this in the first place. i obviously still have the tools and craftsmanship to be a success and change my path in life. why do i fool myself into thinking that it is more comfortable in my dream world when i am constantly haunted in my sleep instead of being surrounded by lollipops and unicorns? it has to break and i'm the only one who can make it happen. if i'm so good at creating a fantasy world then i must create another world for others to get lost in and publish a goddamn novel like i wanted to do a hundred years ago. if i'm so good at so many things...why would i rather stay in this pile of shit and regret?

i'm well aware of how personal this all is and probably should have remained locked within the pages of a secret journal but i feel that writing it on my blog is especially cathartic and i feel it will help me take ownership of my responsibilities. if you name the demon you will find it easier to banish it. if you put it out there for all the world (or all of you that read my blog) to see then you relieve yourself of the shame and the fear. if you hide your symptoms from your doctor then he have a harder time helping to cure your disease. so i'm calling myself out on my own bullshit and although i've said it before a million times, i am as fed up as i can be with the monstrously vast chasm between who i am today and who i want to be and instead of turning my head as my bridges proverbially burn, i am going to use what i know to build a few. and if i don't know how to do something, there is nothing wrong with asking for help if i can't find the solution on my own. unfortunately, asking for help before i try it out myself is a crime i'm too comfortable with committing.

the time is now to put down my flogger...and hold my sceptor up high.

thanks for listening...
