Why do you have to be so goddamned gorgeous? Cant wait for the new Scissor Sisters album.
That's it. Now this makes me wanna go back to the gym. His body is envy inducingly gorgeous yet very natural. Hmm.

Check out Jake getting nekkid here.

I'm bringing SEXYBACK!

The new Justin is slinky. Strangely sexy. I bet the video will be filled with people in all stages of sweaty dry humping. It's basically Justin updating Sir Mix A Lot's "Baby Got Back" on a thudding club friendly beat by Timbaland. I dont know whetehr it will do well in the charts but the clubs would rock this. I bet Radioslave is working on an edit this very second.

Since I will be playing 3 gigs in August, I decided that I need to feature a few new remixes to keep it fresh. It just so happens that my remixing spree began last night with "Sexyback". It started out as a mash-up with Green Velvet's La La Land that in the end transforms itself into a deep-ish electro tinge mix. It's still not done yet and I think the mix will change shape again in a week or two but if youre curious, check out the mix in my player. Im putting the mash up and the club mix in there.

I will update the playlist with new house mixes by the end of the month so that people can sample some of the new stuff im playing. As usual.

As a bonus, feel free to download my mash-up with Green Velvet La La Land.

Beyonce - Deja BOOOO!!!!

I mean, me, of all people finding this horrendous. I love the song, its a perfect summer groove and with a cool video it wouldve totally won me over (cue:Christina Aguilera Aint No Other Man..Hello!), but this video is overdone. I would think that with all the money she has and all the money her record company is shelling for the promotion of this, I was expecting more. An En Vogue style video ala My Lovin wouldve been great. This...yikes! It gives me the shivers watching her do this song, and its not in a good way. It's like you're watching someone make an ass of themselves on a stupid talent show. Yes, it's like watching William Hung! I must say..I must REALLY feel bad for Beyonce that I had to do a post on this. Girl's a hot mess. It almost like she thinks "fuck everything else, everybody just wants to see ME ME ME ME ME ME...I'm hot shit, fuck everything else". Beyonce...Eeeew! I can imagine all the drag queens doing parody of this shit in weird weird outfits - Lil Bo Peep, Dykes on Bikes, Barney, Teletubbies,...Just change the outfits as much as u can in 4 minutes.
And I bet they'll be funnier. Even Tina Turner was never this hoochie B! Not even Madonna at her hoochiest best and Madonna was showing more skin. Am I threatened by how feral this woman is...I dont think so. Usually I would applaud such intensity. But this is just not right. I dont think Tina Turner would approve either.

In the eternal words of Fauziah Latiff on Malaysian Idol," the song and your performance, tak jive lah!"




What the fuck is this? Step off the high horse miss. Boo!!!

Ive heard the remixes, the Maurice one is typical but OK. Waiting for the rest of the promo to reach me before I decide. I'd support the song coz it's good, but no Beyonce idolization here this time. To think that I used to be such a big fan.

**Update**I kid you not, this article is real. Just found it. She is really getting too big for her britches.

"Superstar Beyonce Knowles blames her beautiful looks for preventing people from seeing what a talented artist she really is. The former Destiny's Child singer has enjoyed a flourishing solo career and has had movie success starring in films including The Pink Panther - but she still yearns to be respected as an artist. The 24-year-old says, "It's frustrating, because sometimes, when you are attractive, people don't acknowledge that you are talented as well. "I mean, I'm a songwriter, I'm a producer, I have a strong voice, I'm a dynamic performer. Sometimes people forget that."

So You Think You Can Vogue?

Vogueing threw me back to the early 90s when I was in NY. Never really knew how to Vogue. I only learned the moves..the Madonna version of course...when I came back to KL from Ies, haha, but I had always found them darned vogue kids fascinating. Madonna has nothing on these kids. So here are some clips I found. So whatcha think? Strike a pose?






Serve it bitch!


For some legendary new Vogueing pics...Head here. I wish I had been to one of these balls. Its picture heavy..but a must see nonetheless.

America's Funniest Gay Videos

LOL. Come be gayer today!

Weekend Amusement

Im updating this blog sometimes because I feel guilty. Commitment. New thing. Have to learn. Blogging about things that make u excited cant be that hard now is it? Ok! Some tripped out excerpts while Im still awake.


Courtesy Of Mikey. Is it because I have waaay too many shoes? Shit I wish I could remix this and turn it totally campy as if it's not campy enough as it is. OMG, let's get some shoes.


Ladies and Gentlemen, Miss Amanda Lepore!!!


They have a new album coming! Scissor Sisters is the shit. I love really gay bands.

For something to sweeten the buds after all the show.


India Arie dueting with John Legend. Too sexy. Love it when India lets her hair loose at the end.

Siapa Bilang Lagu Melayu Tak Menawan.

I dont know what have gotten over me, but I'm glad of this newfound appreciation of lagu lagu Melayu that I suddenly am feeling. Was never sucked into the hype of all the Siti and etc, I just dont understand the appeal. I did love Indonesian songs though. Maybe the melody and the lyrics appeal to me more.

But I found myself listening to Malay songs from both Indonesian and Malaysian artists non stop since Sunday. Maybe I just had way way wayy to much house music that weekend that it felt sort of refreshing.

So I'm gonna add some Malay tunes to my playlist for June. Im picking my selections now.

**UPDATE**
I couldnt decide whether to remove my previous house selection because I know some people visit this blog of mine to listen to some house..hehe. The songs are still there, just shifted them to the bottom. Scroll down.

Some of these are older, e.g. we start with the housey mix of Ning's Bebaskanlah and we go on to other current fave of mine like Mike, Marcell, & Sad Angry Babies. I will add more because I just have shitload of songs that I want to put up. I'm also receiving some other exclusive malay housemixes soon..and I will put it up for your enjoyment. Ok, i'm done for the day. Gonna head to Midvalley to but the new Nikki Palikat CD - Maharani.

**UPDATE 2**
Ive added some remixes from Nikki's bonus CD. It's awesome. More please. Managed to use "Pinta" minus one version to extract a filtered acapella for me to maybe remix. Would I dare play a malay house mix at prime time? I think if the mix is hot, yeah why not. But how do u make Malay house remixes credible? Let's try and find out if I can come up with something that I can actually use.

Dont Go To Bed Mad!

Yesterday I wrote something that, now, Im not so sure I shouldve written. Ive decided to remove it from my post because it was so trivial and I dont want it to escalate into something ugly. Usually I'm very good at biting my tongue but I think the whole weekend and its excessiveness took a toll on my nerves. I was writing in anger. Anger blinds you.
Honestly I was just very disappointed that I felt as if I was lied to. Maybe it wasnt even a lie. Maybe it wasnt even intentional. However at the heat of the moment, with all the unnecessary things that went with it, it felt like it was. It's not like it's a big deal, but it was definitely something unexpected.
In my mind, I felt that if given the chance, I could understand why things happen the way they did. It just feels very sad that I wasnt offered any explanations. So you sort of feel that maybe you dont matter as much as you thought you were. But honestly nothing in this world is that simple. Life is as complicated as it is cliche. So I'm not gonna pretend as if I know how everything in this world should work.
However, after a day of rest and a talk with the close friend who I was mostly mad at, Ive decided that I have no reason to be so worked up over something like that. It's a waste of unneccessary energy. I dont want to taint all the good things we've had with something as silly. If I could balance our friendship on a scale, he means more to me as a friend than this stupid thing that we got into. I know you read this sometimes, and you know this is about you, so I think I have to apologize to you too. Just remember on what we agreed on ok?
I guess, sometimes we always expect people, especially those dearest to us, to do the right things but not everyone always do. I dont always do the right things. I make mistakes. Ive done things that I thought was right but it screwed up some other things. We humans are flawed. We are not perfect. That's part of what makes our experience in life richer. That's how we learn how to live better. Trial and error. Mistakes and lessons. It's a cycle that we all go through.
Sometimes we do things for reasons that are uniquely ours. You could never totally understand what goes on in someone else's head, but your own. There will be times when we just have to do what we have to do. Not every decision we can make in this world is a win win situation. So I dont see the reason why I have to impose righteousness on other people when I can be the same. So I will just leave this be, and hopefully one day I'll get to hear the actual story. I dont want to assume. Assumptions are never correct anyways. Often with assumptions you get disappointments because nothing will ever be as what you expected it to be. Unless you count Mathematics. I always told people this, many many times, but I guess I ate my own words yesterday. I became the anger ball of my own assumptions.

Ok.I'm not gonna post about this little insignificant incident anymore. I had a great weekend all in all. And I wont let a moment of confusion taint some of the best times Ive had this year. I DJed for a great party. My friends came to support me early on the dancefloor which made my job easier. We had a fucking great turn out (it's not 500+ but instead it was 700+ wahey!). I get to play a rocking set (in my opinion lah) which Ive missed doing. I get to see my sister/protege broke his serious DJing cherry and came up trumps (it was almost like seeing your baby graduates!). I couldnt have been happier or prouder. I should enjoy that. It doesnt come often.

There will be more great parties to come. Next weekend I'm resting though to straighten my brain a bit. Sometimes a good rest is all we really need.

Weekend Dos and Diss

First and foremost, let's start with the good things.

#1 -Flirt was a HUUGEE success! Overall response was very positive and for an under promoted event, the 500+ head count at the door was kind of surprising. I didnt have any problem starting the dancefloor early as all the early boys were revved up and ready to go at 11pm. By the time I passed the baton to Bobby at 1, the floor was hot and throbbing. Delicious! Very very very happy with how the event went. So funny when Bobby also played Mary J Blige's - Be With You after I did. Luckily, 2 different mixes! So Mary got two props that night. Anyways, note to Will. They need an DJ/Announcer thing to welcome the people. I dont do microphones.

Props to Thomas for his first big event warm up. You did well sister. I am very very very proud of you. You will be playing the main set soon enough (and I can rest :))

More pics here.

#2 - Malaysia boleh! My new favorite tune at the moment is Nikki & Zahid - Caramu. I cant say enough about how awesome Nikki sounded in this song. I dont follow the Malay pop scene much as some of the stuff on radio grate my nerves anyway, but this is a really cool dance-pop offering from Nikki. Good job girl! Take it to the top! But Nikki, word of advice, next time get bigger hair!!! Hehe



Yes. Good times, good times.
