Nika Artsy Fartsy BBQ

Beer+burgers+beer pong+mini kidi pool, what could be better?

We've been blessed with a 15ft high by 50ft long white wall in our backyard. So to all you Artsy Fartsy kids who have skills with a spray can, get over here this Saturday and lets do a little artist collaboration Mural that will be visible to all of Playa Del Rey east of Pershing. Public Art on Private property...no cops!

And we now have corporate sponsorship! Nika Water will be supporting this event, so in addition to lots of alcohol there will now be lots of free bottled water!

Bring good vibes and all your creativity!

There will party pics photographed by our very own Clayton Wolfe so check J'raffe after the event to see what really happened. In addition we will have a photobooth set-up. Use your imagination...

DJ sets will be provided by ///BONES and recently added artist: FLASH

FLASH is local LA dj who has been tearing up lounges, parties, and clubs for years now. Check him out here: DJ FLASH

When electro gets 'Real'

<
I'm kinda bummed/kinda excited that I saw this. I had a similar vision a couple months ago that involved a dramatic cinema-type video, cut 'just right'. The only difference was that my vision involved the quirky 90's hit movie, Ski School. I feel a little 'betrayed' that somebody used my idea but still excited that somebody used my idea. Watch how dangerous things get around 2:30 when the guy rollerblades down the hill.

Bonus Video : Acid Girls - The Numbers Song. Debating whether this video is genius or 'just weird'. kinda dig it tho

...just another day at work

Song of the weekend

Funk Friday

just heard about this up-and-coming band called the earth, winds, & fires or something like that. They are apparently part of this new emerging genre called disco. Its supposed to catch on in 2k10. They got some 'hot jams' if you haven't heard of them

HOLD THE PHONE!

Alex Metric is OUT OF CONTROL. These are some of the best remixes/songs I've heard in quite sometime. If you've never heard of Alex Metric, its time to get acquainted. Here are a couple of his remixes, and he has a whole 'remixography' that you can check out plus an album (it might still be in the works). Don't even know what else to say...just listen.

Bottled Water that's part of the Solution

There's a new bottled water company out there that surprisingly is part of solution, not the problem. Nika Water donates 100% of its profits to poverty alleviation projects in 3rd world countries AND is the only Carbon Neutral bottled water company in the world. At this point you may be asking yourself why the fuck are they posting about a bottled water company on a music and fashion blog? The answer is simple...so many people have chosen to make their water bottles accessories that why not make Nika your next bottled water accessory. You're gonna drink water anyway so you might as well support a good water company.

HARD FAIL

For those of you who were there, you already know...HARD Summer Fest fucking sucked! I want to write something witty and clever but I just don't think that's gonna happen this time. Anyone who would book the Forum for a rave is fucking RETARDED. If you weren't there, enjoy this little video and bask in the glory that you didn't waste a perfectly good Saturday night. All I have to say now is Hard Haunted Mansion better be fucking amazing...

Scary Art

I like art that scares me a little bit. Tell a chick you have a thing for getting laid in a pool of blood and you're either in for a crazy night or the cops show up at your door...probably the latter. But either way Scott Rohlfs is one sick artist, and his work will probably leave you wondering why you're so freaked out and horny at the same time.

when ridiculous 80's movies are re-made...

There seems to be a lot of hype over this new movie Tron Legacy. The movie is about 'some bro' who is searching for his father that has been living in a virtual world of "fierce programs and gladiatorial games" aka a video game for 25 years. Although everyone I know seems to be 'hyped' on it, it seems to me like its gonna be 2 hours of shitty acting and scarce dialogue shadowed by lots of action and 'cool' computer graphics that we'll laugh at in 10 years. The original Tron looked a bit like this...

ITS THE FUTURE circa 1982

On a positive note, somehow Daft Punk got hooked into scoring the entire film.

yay for Daft Punk. I'll probably see the movie just for this reason. Maybe not in theatres but definitely steal it off the internet

Here is an exclusive track from the upcoming film:
