      Mad Decent Block Party – August 31st –  Club Zouk (Outside) – Dallas As the evolution of Electronic Dance Music & it’s culture expands, today I learned a very valuable lesson. Let’s unpack things a bit first: Today was the Mad Decent Block Party – the zenith of what said culture has […]

With each passing year my disclaimers about Electronic Dance Music (EDM) and my place in it only seems to get longer as the culture surrounding it only gets stranger. I’m an outsider among a group of people who celebrate being outsiders who have become the ultimate in mainstream excess. I’ve never really fit in anywhere, […]

In part II of the Summer adventures I document one of the best things there is about NYC and that’s Hip-Hop, the good the bad & everything in between is at your fingertips whenever you want it. Logically since this is its birthplace that’s how it should be, but for a white kid growing up […]

Remembering Adam Yauch – MCA Day – May 19th – Union Square Park – NYC Growing up, in my mind, I was the fourth Beastie Boy. I mirrored myself after them, I grew up in sync with the release of each of their albums, had every shirt, sticker and bootleg you could shake a stick […]

The Wu-Tang Clan – Granada Theater – Dallas, TX – December 10th Ok so I knew what I was getting myself into by going to this show.

The Roots – Aboard the Intrepid/12th St Harbor- NYC – Sept 29th Ok so to unpack things a bit today was going to be a bit nerve-wracking. Erin was coming from Texas to see me, and we hadn’t seen each other in two months, and most of that time was on purpose from both of […]

The first people to arrive is the Here Holy Spain crew so Erin and I take them across the street to a Mexican restaurant and treat them to dinner, hoping Randy and the boys would be gone when we returned. Having Mr. Palmer drunkenly supervise my event was not part of the deal. This was […]

Here it is! – As I disclaim every year, I’m not so arrogant that I believe that what we like/listen to is somehow the “Top LPS” of the year or as if I’ve heard every album that’s come out this year – This is simply the stuff that we listened to the most or got […]
