Bianca Ryan is possessed!

Tell me which black woman had possessed this little girl? Her damn pipes are bigger than her dress! What will she be when she reach her 20's?



I think I should start keeping track of the show.

On a totally unrelated note, I am looking for anyone who has a copy of Aishah & The Fan Club 2 CDs from back in the days. Especially Respect The Beat! I'd buy it off ya or I'd buy the duplicate copy off ya. Or you can be nice and just make me a copy lah. Im thinking of resuscitating her for the clubs with some new mixes.

Anybody who knows anybody who knows anybody who has the CD especially the version of Respect The Beat with the house mix of Dont Let Me Fall Alone...gimme a holler!! Paul Moss?

Flirt @ Orange, Saturday July 1st 2006

So this weekend is the first Flirt event for Will & gang. I hope it will be a successful well turned out event for the first time party organizer.Im Djing as a warm up for Bobby B. After discovering the wonders of Webjay MP3 player (it's the one playing you the music right this very second), I decided to post some of my new favourites in there and you can sample some music. Wahey! How awesome is the internet today?

What's In The Box.

1)Christina Aguilera - Aint No Other Man (FND Private Discofied Edit) - my new spacey disco mix of Ms. Aguilera. I might play this if you guys show up early, if not I have a funkier bootleg by a Canadian Dj that I might try out.
2)T-Funk ft. Katie Underwood - Be Together - Down under Mr.Timothy gets funky with one of the girls from Bardot.
3)Lolleatta Holloway - Love Sensation 2006. The mix Im featuring here is the rather electronic-y version by Mark Knight. Its either this or the Kurd Maverick dub. We will see.
4)Chris Willis - Satisfied - David Guetta favorite male lead goes solo. Awesome singalong vocal house.
5)Chocolate Puma - Always & Forever - A great comeback track. Most are playing the Till West mix, but I'm banging on the energy of this DJ Antoine & Mad Mark mix. Ies's fave track du jour.
6)Kelis - Bossy - Scumfrog - Too delicious to ignore. I'm bossy...
7)Walker - So Deep (Chris Cox mix) - Fun vocals, great vibe.
8)Herd & Fitz - I Just Cant Get Enough - This has been out for a while but I'm falling in love with this piano driven track all over again.
9)Tony Cha Cha & Denis Christopher - Slut - a remake of Avenue D's ballsy slut anthem.
10)Made & Sax ft Michelle Weeks - I'm Coming Up - Soulful & sexy.
11)Sherrie Lea - No Ordinary Love - I might not play this as the mixes are a bit trancey but I love this remake of Sade.
12)Tina Cousins - Wonderful Life - Im trying to extend this. Big choon ya'll!

Hope you'll find a favorite in here. Expect some of these tracks this Saturday...and a plethora of fun stuff that I'll slot in.

Enjoy!

Christina Aguilera - Aint No Other Man Video

First and foremost, press the pause button on the player under my profile if you want to stop the music. I dont know how to make it not play automatically. So bear with me.

Ok,now on to the video. Watch the full video here while you still can.



I'm loving the intro and the closing track. I believe its called "Trouble". I remembered hearing about this track which she did with Linda Perry where she was asked to record her vocals onto a covered microphone.

Christina's Aint No Other Man video will help make this single stronger. This is the summer jam of 2006. Even if Beyonce will be bigger (I already heard the promo, its ok, radio friendly enough so it will be a big hit), but people will remember this track. And big applause for the Baby Jane mention. Haha. So she wants to be Bette Davis huh?

I did a remix for this song.

Now you can go back to the player and click on the X-Tina mix if you choose to hear it in full. Or you can always catch it when Im djing these few months. If you want a copy, download the radio edit of it for now here

Cheers.

Sex & The City Tuesday

Just watch.

Thunder Perfect Mind

How cool is finding an absolutely wonderful poem from a Prada parfum ad? Sounds kinda gay but I think to deny a source its credit is unnecessary. (edit* i'm gay what?) Prada took parts of an ancient Egyptian scripture (discovered in Upper Egypt in 1945 - possibly written by royal poets to describe Isis or any of the feminine deity during the Greek's invasion)and turn it into an ode to the complexities of being a woman. Inspiring. I googled for it and found the full scripture. I am doing the same, I'm gonna take some parts of that and turn it into a personal anthem.

Watch the short film here. The film was shot by John Ridley Scott.

The full version of Thunder Perfect Mind is here

Thunder Perfect Mind
(my version)

Look upon me, reflect upon me, and ears, hear me.
Do not disregard me from your vision.
And do not make your voice hate, nor your hearing.
Do not be ignorant of me.
I am the knowledge of my name.

For I am the first and last,
I am in the friends of my father's.
and the many faces of his sons.
I am the solace of my mother's labor pains.
I am he whose wedding is great, and I have not taken a husband.
I am the bride and the bridegroom.
I am the sister of my husband,
and I am the he in the offspring.

I am the incomprehensible silent
and the much remembered thought.

For I am the student of my enquiry,
and the power of my knowledge.
I am the motivation of my experience,
and the treasure of my finds,
I am the planner of my future,
and the survivor of my mistakes.
I am the power of my youth,
and the rod of my old age.
I am unlearned and learning,

In my weakness, do not forsake me,
but do not fear my strength.
For I am he who struggles in fear
and finds the strength in my trembling.
I am the substance in my errors.
and the fruit of my achievement,
For there is no need to curse my pride.
For when I am senseless, I am wise.

Hear me in gentleness, and learn me in roughness.
I prepare my bread with my mind within.
Dont judge my decisions like a child, small and little,
For some smallnesses,
Are known from the greatnesses.

I am an alien, I am a citizen.
I am control, and uncontrollable.
I am soldier, I am peace.
I am the knowledge of my name.

Get Together

I havent been able to do any posting lately coz it's been crazy with work. As usual. That and the gym baby steps. Yikes. I'm beginning to sound like the people I complain about. Ok. No more gym talk. It's just that I go after work (8.30 pm onwards) that by the time I get back home, I'll be so damn tired that I could hardly do anything but sleep. On the plus side, Im sleeping like a baby.

Youtube highlight for the week. Madge's new video for my favourite track of Confessions , "Get Together" is finally out. One word. Trippy! The trippiest piece of visual psychedelic since the speedy Ray Of Light. I guess she's just too busy (or lazy) to shoot a video so what we get are recycled images from Live at Koko and Coachella sequenced into a new video. Not that it's bad, but I was kinda hoping for a Mark Romanek like video ala Bedtime Stories,which would be perfect.

Unfortunately the official remix package was still a little disappointing tho I shouldnt complain, coz as if I'm playing that many gigs! Hah! But then at least the Danny Howell's remix is usable I've just included that in my set list for Flirt. Come early to the party coz they're giving away free mix cds for the first 400 or 500. Back to Madge.



Isnt it amazing how she sound so heartfelt when she's not trying too hard? Stick to the dance pop love. It works.

So this Friday, tomorrow I mean, I have another I Am Fabulous party to Dj for. I think Zouk was pretty happy with the turnout that they decided to hold another one. However this time they are trying to push Leonard as a back to back partner with me. I will be playing 11 - 12, and 1-2 and Leonard will play 12-1 and 2-3. We will see how that goes. I hope everything will be fine.

Ah. More partying tomorrow.

Aint No Other Man But You

Fierce beyond belief. X-Tina new single with DJ Premier rocks. Watch her perform it as Veronica-Lake-chanelling-Aretha-as-Tina-Turner for MTV Video Awards. Mind blowing. The single is leaked everywhere online too. I cant wait to hear the rest of the album after seeing this. You go girl. Work it like ya mean it.



On a more humorous note, I totally dig the Gnarls Barkley as Star Wars performance too. Was this the theme? To perform as movie stars? Christina = Veronica Lake, Gnarls = Starwars. Pretty smart planning. I love Crazy, but Im hearing it way too many times as ring tones now that Im beginning to get sick of it.



I have so much new music in my mp3 player that I think I'm beginning to lose the purpose of having all this music. I'm gonna go back and delete some and listen to maybe three album a week. I want to like some new stuff but I think me piling all of them in one playlist is kind of a sensory overload.

How Do We Go Forward?

I got this from Me Talk Pretty Every Day, so before I go on my random rantings...let's get this out of the way..
It reminds me of the sculpture & collage work of Jack Pierson which was in the news recently. Ive been familiar with the images but I never knew it was by Jack until recently, when there was this brouhaha between Cheim Gallery and Barneys New York over an accused plagiarism. I dont know, I think the beauty of art sometimes lie in its ability to morph itself into real life. I guess you gotta credit the source perhaps. I thought it was a sincere flattery on behalf of Barney's to want to create something similar.

Hey Jack, I'm just admiring your work.




Get yours here at flickr


I think everyone had days where you just wonder where you are in your life. Are you happy where you are at the moment, are you working the right job, are you living your life the way it should be..etc etc, questions like that. This question had been on my mind for the past week or so probably because I'm beginning to get somewhat demotivated by what I do career wise. I guess I shouldnt be complaining as the job I have now pays well, and I think I'm blessed with the most flexible working hours that one can get. I used to be really happy working for my company because creatively I felt satisfied, I get to create, make things happen, and I felt like the luckiest bastard in the whole wide world. I got a great company that lets me do things I wanna do, and with enough time to pursue my Djing a little more seriously. However lately, things have somewhat changed and I'm at that junction where I feel the need to decide whether I should just work for the pay or do I work for my personal satisfaction.

I've always been one of those kids who are somewhat semi Jack of All Trades, Master of None. Give me a problem, I'll competently solve it. A new task? I'll brave it and do good enough. However, as one gets older (am I having a midlife crisis?), I'm beginning to feel this desire to achieve. Like,really really achieve something with my life. To do something that I'm really proud off, blood, sweat, tears and all, that will reward me intrinsically. Lately the job that used to give me so much joy had began to tax my nerve. I'm feeling as if for three years I've worked for them, instead of gaining more experience, I've turned dumber. Partly because the new COO is one of the biggest jerks Ive ever met, and my boss who used to push boundaries with his vision is now kinda silent. His fire is gone. The situation had gone from exciting tough projects (that I loved) to low grade short term thing. The excitement is gone. I really feel I'm there just because they dont want to pay agencies a lot of money to do what I do. Yeah, I save them money. That's me. The cost saver. The jobs had been slow coming though. I'm beginning to feel like a furniture in the office. All this free time and the super conservative kedekut attitude is driving me nuts.









































I did some photography work for my presentation recently and I got a gut instinct that I will be doing this regularly for our company catalogue jobs because once again, I did an ok-ish job. Not good, but ok. But costless. And they'd rather that than spend more money on decent photographers. Photography is just a hobby that I have but this is not my job though. I was just doing this simply because I had a presentation to do. But from the look on COO's face when he heard I personally took those shoe photos using digital camera, I could almost hear a cash register clink clanking in his head. And his further enquiries regarding it, further cemented that. I put myself up for this, I could have just done a simple scanned storyboard, but I was bored so I played around and me being a control freak at times, wanted my output to be as exactly as I envisioned it. You know you cant scan your head right? Playing with fire betul. I wish I could just say no to myself sometimes.

Damn, I just couldnt tell what my job scope is anymore.

I never thought it will come to this, but yeah, I'm bored to death. Look at what boredom does to me. I get in trouble.






Precisely.

And then again, who in the world gets to do exactly what they want? Nobody. You win some, you lose some. That's just how it goes. But I still cant get the nagging thoughts out of my head. Maybe I should just ask for more pay (which is very unlikely).

I've been thinking a lot whether the wise thing to do now is settle for less pay, but to do something really rewarding, but I dont know what it is yet.

I think I need to do more thinking. These things cant be rushed.

There is no conclusion to this post, no lessons to be learned. I'm just venting.

Ok time to sleep. Have more meetings with asswipe tomorrow.

Same Shit Different Day

Finally had my first proper day at the gym yesterday with Ies. Ies was a lifesaver. I might not be shy asking for directions on the road, but asking strangers how to use gym equipments are up there with bungee jumping. Would rather not.So I just followed his routines and he also taught me so leg exercises. Damn after that my leg was so wobbly and I could hardly walk down the stairs, I felt like I just did Annabel Chong's The World's Biggest Gangbang.

Luckily the place wasnt so packed that I can take my own time. It was hillarious that after half an hour of being there, and you start to visibly see the sisters slowly claiming the place, the cd changer automatically went Madonna mode. Haha. Definitely better than the faceless Warp techno thing that was blasting when I walked in. Confessions on The Dancefloor? Bring it on!!

So yes, it was still the same gym thing I remembered. Boring as hell. Repetitious. Made me wish I was more athletic when I was a kid so I didnt have to do all this just to get my health back. Oh well, what's the point of regretting things you could not change right? It's like reviewing a football game after it's done. Regardless of how on point you are about your team's strength and weaknesses, you still cant change the results. Might as well focus on what's coming in the future.

If I was so damn athletic in school back then, I would have never been this obsessed about music and get to DJ as a hobby right? So it all happened as it should be.

Saw a hip hop dance class thing that looked pretty interesting. Maybe I should give that a try the next time I go.

I give myself a year to see results.

Karma Chameleon

Yesterday I decided to do something good for a change. Nothing flashy, nothing along the lines of saving the world or anything like that. I just decided to return a missing handphone to the owner.

How did I found the phone? I was about to get out of this taxi when I reached my apartment (just got back from Midvalley) when the taxi driver said to me, "Bro, your phone". So in the dark and probably a reflex, I immediately took the phone and put it in my bag, without checking whether it was mine. I assumed that it was. Only so much later when I decided to use my phone that I realized I had two phones in my bag and one was definitely not mine.

I've lost a few phones in my days, so I decided I wanted to return that phone to the owner. Who knows, this might help clean up my karma right? Damn, those Sony Ericsons are so hard to use. It took me awhile to even find the phone book. So I was going through the list of names, and I saw "Dad" so I decided to dial that. Maybe I can inform the father about this. Cant go through. Line busy. Saw an "Auntie Y". Also cant get through. Line busy too. By the time I get to "Home", the owner had barred the line. Ceh. So I decided to take a break, switch the phone off, to save the battery, and go about it again the next day.

The next day, when I switched on the phone, the owner had a text message. The message was from a friend that sounded very concerned about him/her due to something. Hmm, it made me think, "I better really try to get this phone back to the owner. Maybe I can help make him/her feel a bit better." From the msg, the phone owner seems to be very down. So I decided to send a text msg to the friend, using my phone, to tell him that I'm holding his friend's phone and that he needs to get back to me on that. Then I decided to call the numbers again. First I called "Dad", and to my surprise, the guy said "I dont have a son, what are u talking about?". I double checked the number and I didnt dial wrong. Er, did I just stumble into something here? Hmm it makes me wonder. Oh well, so I apologized to him and I called "Home". After dialing for quite a long time, a frail sounding woman picked up the phone. I explained what I'm trying to do in English but unfortunately Auntie cant speak English. I tried speaking in Malay, but Auntie tried to speak Mandarin to me. In the end I spoke the simplest English + Malay I could. In the end I managed to tell her that I have with me, a lost phone that belongs to someone in her house . She told me it belongs to her son, and that she will get him to be in contact with me.

So yesterday, I met a sad looking boy that was probably still in high school, at Midvalley to return back his phone. We shook hands, I gave him the phone and the whole thing took less than 30 seconds. Then I left.

Did I feel good afterwards. A little. Whatever that boy was going through personally, I hope my sudden desire to do good, made him feel a bit better and maybe a bit more optimistic about the world.

Reword

Hmm. I was totally ranting the other day that I felt like censoring myself. Just because I was getting nervous about the gym, did I need to go ballistic? I have lots of friends who are hot but are total sweethearts as well. I hope if you read that, it didnt get to ya. It's not about you. It's just about the jerks we've talked about haha.

Yes I now have a Cali fitness card. I went and had it done today after work. Baby steps. Met my friend Thomas while I was there. I have to admit I was kind of nervous but seeing him there made me less so. I think I'll try the facilities this weekend.
