weekend roundup 4.19

THIS WEEK I'VE DECIDED TO SHOWCASE ANOTHER NOT-SO-WELL-KNOWN BAND THAT I DISCOVERED A FEW YEARS BACK OPENING UP FOR GYMCLASS HEROES IN DC. THE BAND IS RX BANDITS. THEIR STYLE IS VERY SKA MEETS A LOT OF ROCK THAT HANGS OUT WITH A LITTLE JAZZ ON THE WEEKENDS. THINK EARLY NO DOUBT WITHOUT THE GWEN. SIGNED TO [MASH DOWN BABYLON RECORDS] RXB IS NO NOVICE. THEY BROUGHT OUT THEIR 5TH ALBUM IN 2006 TITLED "...AND THE BATTLE BEGUN". MORE OF A LIVE SHOW BAND, RXB IS A TREAT TO SEE IN PERSON. TO SEE THEM LIVE IS TO WITNESS A HIGH ENERGY DRIVEN SHOW OF BOTH PHYSICALLY AND MUSICALLY EXPLOSIVE PERFORMANCES. CHECK THEM OUT AND LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK.....

i i i i'm so hoooooood!





OKAY SO I WORKED MY BUTT OFF GETTING PRESS ACCESS INTO WHAT APPEARED TO BE THE MOST PROMISING EVENT OF THE WEEKEND. MTV'S VERY OWN CIPHA SOUND'S BIRTHDAY BASH FEATURING DJ KHALED. AFTER TALKING SOME GOOD GAME AND PROMISING TOP NOTCH COVERAGE I GET THE GREEN LIGHT. NOW IT'S THE NIGHT OF THE EVENT AND AFTER BACK OUTS AND STAND UPS I FINALLY GET MY ROAD DOG 'NELLE TO TRUCK IT OUT TO BROOKLYN WITH ME. BY THIS TIME IT'S MIDNIGHT (WHICH SURPRISINGLY IS STILL VERY EARLY IN NY TIME), AND I'M HEADING OUT THE DOOR.








OMFG! WE FIND A YELLOW CAB IN THE MIDDLE OF HARLEM?! AND IF YOU DON'T KNOW THAT'S A SERIOUS TREAT. WE JUMP IN THE CAB AND JUMP RIGHT BACK OUT AFTER WE FIND OUT HOW EXPENSIVE IT WOULD BE, AND WE FIND THE NEAREST TRAIN.






FAST FORWARD 1 HOUR AND 45 MINUTES LATER........








WE STEP OUT OF THE TRAIN STATION TO FIND OURSELVES IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE (EAST FLATBUSH? WTF?!)...NO CLUB IN SIGHT. WE START WALKING IN THE DIRECTION OF THIS SO-CALLED CLUB AND STOP AFTER A FEW BLOCKS TURN INTO MANY.






THIS IS WHERE WE MEET OUR TWO NEW HAITIAN FRIENDS WHO LATER ON WIND UP SAVING US FROM OURSELVES AND THIS HORRIBLE DECISION OF LEAVING MANHATTAN. THEY ASK US WHERE WE WERE HEADED AND WE TELL THEM ABOUT THE CLUB C-PAC AND THE CIPHA SOUNDS PARTY. THE CONVERSATION WENT SOMETHING LIKE THIS.....







HAITI: SO WHERE Y'ALL HEADED?

ME: TO 48TH AND FARRAGUT. YOU KNOW THAT CLUB OVER THERE RIGHT?

HAITI: (WITH A WRINKLE IN HIS BROW) WHAT CLUB?!

ME: C-PAC. THERE'S SUPPOSED TO BE A HOT EVENT THERE TONIGHT.

HAITI:(LONG PAUSE) HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

ME: (A LITTLE PERTURBED) WHAT'S SO FUNNY?

HAITI: YO I DON'T KNOW WHENS THE LAST I'VE BEEN TO C-PAC! (MORE LAUGHTER) THAT PLACE IS THE SLUMS! IT'S THE WORST! Y'ALL IN A GANG? WHAT Y'ALL REP CRIPS OR BLOODS? HAHAHAHA!

ME: WHAT? I DON'T GET IT.

HAITI: (TALKING TO HIS OTHER FRIEND) DIDN'T KEEK GET STABBED OVER THERE A FEW BACK? (BACK TO ME) YEA MA THEY ALWAYS SHOOTING OVER THERE TOO.

ME: I THINK YOU'RE CONFUSED. THIS IS THE CI-PH-A SO-UN-DS EVENT WITH DJ KHALED "WE DA BEST NIGGA, WEEEEE NIGGA" YOU KNOW?

HAITI: OH... I KNOW! AND NO! I DOUBT THEM DUDES ARE HAVING AN EVENT THERE. I MEAN I'LL TAKE YOU OVER THERE SO YOU CAN SEE FOR YOURSELF.








WE DRIVE UP TO THIS DEAD END ALLEY BLOCKED OFF BY A SUBURBAN WITH A BLACK BUILDING IN THE VERY BACK. THE HAITIANS, STILL CRACKING UP, ARE NOW QUESTIONING OUR GANGSTA BECAUSE AT FIRST SIGHT OF THIS VERY QUESTIONABLE SCENE, THE BOIGIE COMES OUT OF ME AND A "AWWW HELL NAH!" CAME OUT OF MY MOUTH.








HAITI: Y'ALL GETTING OUT MA?

ME: HELL NO! I'M GOING BACK TO HARLEM. WHERE'S THE 2 TRAIN?

HAITI: (LAUGHING) YEA I DON'T BLAME YOU.








ON THE WAY BACK TO THE STATION, HAITI GETS ON SPEAKER PHONE WITH A NICE RESPECTFUL YOUNG LADY NAMED "SWEETNESS," AND THEY PLAN THE REST OF THEIR EVENING. ME AND 'NELLE JUST SIT IN THE BACK SEAT SHAKING OUR HEADS AT THE OUTCOME OF THE EVENING. WITH NOTHING ELSE LEFT TO DO, WE THANK OUR NEW FRIENDS FOR GETTING US BACK TO THE TRAIN STATION AND HEAD BACK UP TO HARLEM.








TIRED AND BEAT. WE MAKE IT BACK STILL WONDERING WHAT REALLY WENT DOWN IN THAT PARTY LAST NIGHT. I HIT UP CIPHA SOUNDS TO FIND OUT THE SCOOP. I'M STILL WAITING ON THE REPLY....(TO BE CONTINUED)

baby sister stars having...babies

SO MAYBE YOU CAN CALL SOLANGE A TRENDSETTER BECAUSE AFTER BEYONCE'SLITTLE SOLO STAR SINGING SISTER DECIDED TO TEST OUT HER BAG OF GOODIES, SHE GOT HERSELF A HANDFUL. A HANDFUL OF DIAPER CHANGING, SNOT WIPING, SAY GOOD BYE TO PEACE AND QUIET BUNDLE OF JOY. I MEAN BUT THAT'S WHAT THEY DO DOWN SOUTH RIGHT? GET MARRIED AND BUMPED UP AT 12?








WELL SOLANGE WASN'T THE ONLY SOUTHERN BELLE GETTING BUSY. MEGA SUPER STAR BRITNEY SPEARS' MINI ME JAMIE LYNN SPEARS MANAGED TO POP OUT A "HIT ME BABY ONE MORE TIME" OF HER OWN.






OH BUT IT GETS BETTER. ACCORDING TO OK! MAGAZINE JESSICA SIMPSON'S LIP SYNCING YOUNGER SIS ASHLEE SIMPSON JUST ANNOUNCED TO THE WORLD THAT SHE TOO IS GOING TO SPORT A BRAND NEW BABE TO GO ALONG WITH THE NEW NOSE. I'M SURE JESSICA AND THE FAM ARE PERFECTLY FINE WITH THIS NEWS. I MEAN ACCORDING TO JESSICA "TWENTY THREE IS OLD. IT'S ALMOST TWENTY FIVE, WHICH IS LIKE ALMOST MID-TWENTIES."






CONGRATS TO KIDS HAVING KIDS. CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THAT GENERATION IN 10 YEARS......

day2: In Search of a Celebrity in Soho...

TODAY I'VE CONCLUDED THAT I HATE THE IDEA OF 1 HOUR LUNCH BREAKS. THEY'RE LONG ENOUGH FOR YOU TO NOT GO COMPLAINING TO YOUR BOSS, YET IT STILL MANAGES TO BE TOO SHORT TO DO WHAT YOU REALLY WANT/NEED TO DO. ONE HOUR WAS DEFINITELY NOT ENOUGH TIME FOR ME TO COMPLETE MY TASK OF SPOTTING A CELEBRITY. OH BUT DON'T GET ME WRONG.... THEY WERE OUT THERE. THE SIDES OF THE STREETS WERE PACKED FULL OF PARKED ESCALADES WITH DRIVERS PATIENTLY WAITING FOR THEIR IMPORTANT PASSENGERS TO RETURN TO BE WHEELED OFF TO THEIR NEXT DESTINATION. I FELT LIKE I WAS HAVING ONE OF THOSE MICHIGAN J. FROG EPISODES. YOU REMEMBER THE LOONY TUNES CARTOON WHERE THE GUY HAS A SINGING FROG, AND EVERY TIME HE TRIES TO SHOW HIM OFF, HE STOPS SINGING? THAT'S WHAT WAS HAPPENING, EXCEPT THE CELEBS WERE OUT PARTYING IN THE STREETS TAKING PICTURES WITH BABIES, BUT THE SECOND I TURNED AROUND WITH MY CAMERA THEY WERE GONE.

MY FIRST STOP WAS THE UPSCALE LINGERIE SHOP KIKI DE MONTPARNASSE. FROM THE LOOKS OF THE WINDOWS I FIGURED I'D BUMP INTO MADONNA OR ANGELINA JOLIE.... IT SEEMED LIKE THEIR KIND OF SHOP. I WALK IN TO FIND PLATINUM AND GOLD HANDCUFF INSPIRED JEWELRY, SOME PRICEY ADULT TOYS, A BED IN THE BACK WITH AN EXPLICIT INSCRIBED PILLOW (I WONT REPEAT WHAT WAS WRITTEN), AND SOME VERY CUTE PANTIES AND BRAS ALONG THE WALLS. THE SHOPS PATRONS LOOKED RICH, BUT NOT WHO I WAS LOOKING FOR.....




. .



I WALK PAST BRITE SMILE EXPECTING TO SEE SOMEONE CHECKING IN OR LEAVING, BECAUSE TEETH BLEACHING IN THE MIDDLE OF AN ORDINARY DAY IS JUST WHAT CELEBRITIES DO RIGHT? WRONG.

I KEEP ON MY COURSE TO BARNEY'S CO-OP BUT ALL I FIND IN THERE IS THE CUTE NEW SPRING 08 LINE FROM MIKE AND CHRIS.



45 MINUTES INTO MY BREAK, I SADLY FORCE MYSELF TO TRUCK IT BACK TO THE OFFICE. WHEN ALL SEEMED LOST, I SEE THIS "HOT" GUY WALKING DOWN THE STREET, AND WHEN I SAY "HOT" I DEFINITELY MEAN IN TEMPERATURE. APPARENTLY WHEN THE WEATHER MAN SAID DRESS FOR WARM WEATHER THAT MEANT RUN OUT TO SPANDEX WORLD AND BUY A BANANA HAMMOCK. I DUNNO...










SO THERE YOU HAVE IT. ONCE AGAIN I'M BACK EMPTY HANDED....

day1: In Search of a Celebrity in Soho...

BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T BE RIGHT OF ME NOT TO MENTION THAT LAST NIGHT I DID MANAGE TO MAKE IT TO GOLD BAR, AND YES IT WAS AS FAB AS PROMISED WITH AN ORDER OF DISCO FRIES AND A SIGHTING OF ONE HALF THE GROUP GNARLS BARKLEY, AND IF YOU STILL DON'T KNOW WHO I'M TALKING ABOUT IT'S CEE-LO.





BUT GETTING BACK TO THE SUBJECT AT HAND......





TODAY MARKED NYC'S FIRST OFFICIAL BEAUTIFUL WEATHER DAY AND I HAD TO PARTAKE IN THE FESTIVITIES OF BASKING IN THE SUN ON THE OVERLY POPULATED UNEVEN STREETS OF SOHO. STARING OUT THE WINDOW AT THIS SUNNY CLOUDLESS DAY I JUST KNEW FOR SURE WITH WEATHER LIKE THIS THE STREETS OF SOHO WOULD BE CRAWLING WITH CELEBRITIES, SO I GRAB MY CAMERA, AND WITH DREAMS OF MOCKING THE PAPARAZZI AND BEFRIENDING CHRIS AND GWYNETH I HEAD FOR THE DOOR.





MY FIRST STOP IS THIS COOL JAPANESE MARKET CALLED SUNRISE MART LOCATED AT 498 BROOME STREET. CELEBS LOVE SUSHI RIGHT? I WALK IN AND IMMEDIATELY TAG THIS SPOT AS MY NEW FAVORITE. ANYTHING JAPANESE, KOREN, AND CHINESE YOU COULD EVER WANT WAS IN THERE. I START PICKING UP STUFF I DIDN'T EVEN NEED JUST BECAUSE IT WAS WRITTEN IN JAPANESE WITH THOSE CUTE LITTLE BUBBLY CHARACTERS AND BRIGHT COLORS. I LOOK AROUND A LITTLE LONGER, AND NO STARS ARE IN SIGHT, SO I SCARF DOWN MY RICE ROLL AND LEAVE.






I'M PEEKING THROUGH SHOP WINDOWS, STARING SKEPTICALLY AT EVERYONE WEARING OVER SIZED SUN GLASSES AND/OR A BASEBALL CAP.... WHICH WAS A LITTLE AWKWARD BECAUSE EVERYONE WAS WEARING OVER SIZED SUN GLASSES AND/OR A BASEBALL CAP. BUT I JUST COULDN'T FIND ANY CELEBRITIES. I EVEN MADE A PIT STOP AT THIS GLAMMED OUT PET SHOP. FORTUNATELY THERE WAS A SIGN IN THE WINDOW THAT SAID "EVERYTHING MUST GO" HOPEFULLY THAT MEANS THAT HORRIBLE TREND OF DRESSING YOUR POOR POOCH IN TACKY, SHRUNKEN DOWN, PRE-TEEN GIRLS CLOTHING IS FINALLY OVER.






OUT OF THE BLUE I TURN TO MY LEFT AND THERE IS THIS CREEPY STREET WALKER TRYING TO GET MY ATTENTION. I QUICKLY DART MY ATTENTION ELSE WHERE PRAYING HE STOPS LOOKING IN MY DIRECTION. I PUT A LITTLE PEP IN MY STEP AND START ZIG ZAGING THROUGH CROWDS OF PEOPLE TO THROW HIM OFF BUT I GET DISTRACTED BY THIS GUY STANDING DIRECTLY OUTSIDE OF ARMANI EXCHANGE WITH TWO GLOW STICKS IN HAND HAVING WHAT APPEARS TO BE AN EPILEPTIC SEIZURE AND TURRETS ATTACK ALL AT ONCE, AND HE'S BEING VIDEO TAPPED BY A FILM CREW. HE WAS NO SUPERSTAR BUT HE DID HAVE A CAMERA CREW AND AT THIS POINT I'D TAKE ANYTHING. JUST AS I START SNAPPING AWAY, THE MANAGER OF A/E COMES OUT DEMANDING THAT HE REMOVE HIMSELF FROM THE ENTRANCE. I DECIDE TO WALK AWAY BEFORE THINGS GET UGLY.

.... ....




I TURN UP A LITTLE ALLEY WAY DECIDING TO TAKE THE LONGER WAY BACK TO WORK AND WHILE WAITING FOR THE RIGHT OF WAY TO CROSS THE STREET ONCE AGAIN MY CREEPY LITTLE FRIEND IS BY MY SIDE BREATHING ON MY CHEEK. THIS TIME I'M BEYOND FREAKED OUT AND MY BRISK WALK TURNS INTO A SLIGHT JOG. FINALLY I MAKE IT BACK TO MY OFFICE RELIEVED TO HAVE GOTTEN AWAY FROM MY STALKER, BUT A LITTLE SADDENED AT THE FACT THAT I SPOTTED NOT ONE CELEBRITY. OH WELL, THERE'S ALWAYS TOMORROW.

The Lost Jabba Wockee

OMG MY BFF ROSE! TWO POSTS IN ONE DAY?! YOU BET YOUR SOCKS. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT NEWS BREAK.... DURING MY LUNCH BREAK I DECIDED TO MAKE MY WAY TO THE GARMENT DISTRICT TO JUST STAND THERE OVERWHELMED LOOKING AT ALL THE STRETCHY FABRICS BEFORE MY EYES AND TO MY VERY OWN DISBELIEF, SMACK DAB IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BUSY PASSAGE WAYS OF THE UNDERGROUND I SPOT A JABBA WOCKEE. EVERYONE INCLUDING MYSELF CROWDS AROUND TO GET A GLIMPSE OF THIS RARITY. THE LONE DANCER, STILL TRYING TO RAISE MONEY TO MEET THE REST OF HIS JABBA WOCKEEZ AT MTV'S RANDY JACKSON PRESENTS AMERICA'S BEST DANCE CREW, APPARENTLY DIDN'T GET THE MEMO THAT THE CREW ALREADY WON DESPITE HIS ABSENCE. DON'T BELIEVE ME? SEE FOR YOURSELF. (AND IS IT JUST ME OR DOES THE REST OF THE WORLD MISS THAT SHOW ALREADY AS MUCH AS I DO? I'M READY FOR ROUND TWO. WHAT DO YOU THINK?)

My Girl Got a Girlfriend?

AFTER TWO WEEKS OF TRYING TO MEET UP WITH KELIS' STYLIST DAMON PERUZZI, I FINALLY MAKE IT TO HIS WEEKLY SUNDAY NIGHT PARTY AT LOTUS NIGHTCLUB LOCATED IN THE HEART OF THE MEATPACKING DISTRICT. AS IF I WOULD EXPECT ANYTHING LESS, HIS VIP AREA WAS JAMMED PACKED WITH A BEAUTIFUL, SUPER-ORDINARILY HIP AND TRENDY CROWD. IT WAS LIKE STEPPING INTO A PHARRELL WILLIAMS MUSIC VIDEO. WITH BOTTLES POPPING ALL NIGHT, IT WAS INEVITABLE THAT PEOPLE WERE STARTING TO FEEL A LITTLE LOOSER AS THE NIGHT PROGRESSED. THE ENTOURAGE WAS NOW DANCING ON THE TABLES, THE SOFAS, THE CLEANING STAFF, AS WELL AS EACH OTHER. IT WAS AN ALL AND ALL ENTERTAININGLY GOOD TIME.

I HADN'T HAD A STRAIGHT UP, BALLS TO THE WALL, SWEAT YOUR HAIR OUT, CLUB NIGHT IN A WHILE. THIS WAS LIBERATING. AS I'M DANCING AWAY TO SNOOP'S LATEST, THE GIRL NEXT TO ME GRABS MY ARM AND COMPLIMENTS ME ON MY TOP. I SAY THANKS AND CONTINUE DANCING. SHE STOPS ME AGAIN TO NOW COMPLIMENT ME ON MY NECKLACE. I'M LIKE WOW, THIS CHICK IS REALLY DIGGING THE FIT. COOL STUFF. WE START CHATTING, SHE OFFERS DRINKS, I ACCEPT, WE CONTINUE DANCING. I SPOT MY FRIENDS SO I RELOCATE(WHICH I FIND OUT LATER RAN INTO USHER'S BABY MAMA/WIFEY/BUSSY BABY IN THE LITTLE LADIES ROOM LOOKING FOR SOME POPPIN' LIP GLOSS FROM ANYONE OFFERING) BUT WHEN I TURN AROUND MY NEW "FRIEND" IS STILL BEHIND ME, STILL TRYING TO TALK IN THE CLUB, STILL TRYING TO DANCE, STILL TRYING TO......HOLLER? APPARENTLY I WAS THE LAST ONE TO NOTICE THAT I GOT GOT. AND BECAUSE I ACCEPTED THAT INITIAL DRINK IT AUTOMATICALLY MADE ME MY NEW "FRIENDS" B!TCH FOR THE REST OF THE NIGHT. GOSH, I ALWAYS MANAGE TO GET MYSELF IN WEIRD SITUATIONS DUE TO MY OBLIVIOUS TENDENCIES. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO BUT TO TREAT HER LIKE I TREAT GUYS I'M TRYING TO NICELY GET RID OF. IF THEY'RE NOT CREEPS I GIVE THEM MY INFO BECAUSE I'M ALL ABOUT CONNECTIONS, AND MISSION ACCOMPLISHED FOR THEM, THEY WALK AWAY WITH DIGITS AND I WIN BY REGAINING MY FREEDOM FROM THEIR VERBAL BONDAGE.

I GOT AWAY, TALKED A LITTLE BUSINESS WITH DAMON, AND WRAPPED UP THE NIGHT. GOOD TIMES, I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL DAMON'S NEXT EVENT AT GOLDBAR LATER IN THE WEEK.....to be continued

weekend roundup 4.13

CAN ANYONE PLEASE ANSWER THIS QUESTION. WHY ISN'T THERE EVER ANYTHING TO DO IN NYC ON THE WEEKENDS? THERE IS AN ABUNDANCE OF THINGS TO DO DURING THE WEEK, BUT I GUESS WEEKENDS ARE RESERVED FOR RELAXING AND CATCHING UP ON SOME WELL DESERVED ZZZ'S. I TOOK THIS TIME TO RELAX MYSELF AND ZONE OUT TO SOME GOOD TUNES.

I LIKE TO FIND ARTISTS NOBODY ELSE FUX WITH YET AND KIND OF CLAIM THEM AS MY OWN, AND RIGHT NOW MY OBSESSION IS THIS NEW MALIBU BORN AND BRED HIP HOP KID WHO RECENTLY SIGNED WITH [SURETONE/GEFFEN RECORDS], SHWAYZE. IF YOU CREATE A PLAY LIST, MIX SHWAYZE IN WITH A LITTLE N.E.R.D, GYMCLASS HEROES, AND SOME THROWBACK SUBLIME AND YOU'RE STRAIGHT. I HAVEN'T FOUND A TRACK OF HIS THAT I HATE, BUT I STILL HAVEN'T PICKED A FAVORITE JUST YET EITHER. SOMETHING ABOUT HIS SONGS BRING ME BACK TO MY DAYS GROWING UP IN ST. THOMAS KICKING IT AT THE BEACH ON A LAZY SUNDAY AFTERNOON WITH NOT A WORRY IN THE WORLD. IT COULD BE HIS CREATIVE MIX OF LAID BACK VOCALS, ACOUSTIC GUITAR, AND THE TUG OF WAR BETWEEN ROCK AND HIP HOP THAT FLOOD EVERY TRACK. WHATEVER IT IS, IT WORKS. CHECK THIS CLIP OF HIM LIVE AT THE ROXY, LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK......(IF YOU GUYS LIKE HIM AS MUCH AS I DO THEN I'LL TRY MY HARDEST TO GET HIM HERE TO THE CITY.)














AND WHILE I'M ON THE SUBJECT OF MUSIC, HAPPY 20TH ANNIVERSARY TO THE LEGENDARY TV SHOW YO! MTV RAPS. THIS SHOW HELPED CREATE A MOVEMENT THAT HAS MOLDED A WHOLE GENERATION. TAKE A JOURNEY THROUGH TIME, REMINISCE ON THE JAMS THAT ROCKED YOUR BODY, GET REACQUAINTED WITH THE SOUNDS OF THE GREAT POETS OF THEIR TIME, LOOK BACK ON THE STRUGGLES AND OPINIONS THAT MOVED THEM TO SPEAK THEIR MINDS, AND TRY NOT TO CRINGE AT THE WONDERFULLY HORRIBLE FASHION CHOICES OF THE LATE 80'S. CLICK ON THE LINK BELOW TO PAY HOMAGE TO YO! MTV RAPS....
