Music seems to be slowing down in the creative department in 2009. Last year, 2008, was fantastic for new bands and sounds, but this year I find myself growing increasingly bored. As a DJ, and as basically “me,” I am constantly looking for new sounds and sound-based stimuli. I am worried that this year will not produce anything that will excite me. If nothing else, we have spin-master outfits thriving this year, such as The Twelves, Designer Drugs, Filthy Dukes, and LA Riots.
Especially the latter. They are fantastic. They are playing at ULTRABAR on July 23. Be there for a fantastic dancing experience. When will the producers and record executives pull their dicks out of each others' mouths and start to realize that they can make as much (and possibly more) money by investing unto innovation... not repetition. Lame bastards. Mainstreaming is a bitch.
Never accept crap in your ears. Just as a safe rule.
Album of the Week: Beck's Midnite Vultures -a classic still.
After the shock of Michael Jackson's death yesterday, we must march on and celebrate his life. He may not have been perfect. He may have been batshit crazy. He may have consumed more vicodin than Liz Taylor's on a Tuesday...but, he changed music. He changed everything. He was a talent that may never be matched, and he will be remembered in the same breath as Elvis, The Beatles, and Madonna as one of the biggest music stars of our time. So, on Saturday @ SHIFT, come celebrate how MJ attempted to heal the world and make it a better place one small touch at a time. 
YES! We have a kickass local DJ, 
That's right bitches. We took some time to revamp the site, gather some good material for our live gigs, and bring you the best dancenight since you lost your virginity in the Buick Skylark outside of Prom.
