rocky horror picture show.

Friday, October 14th, 2011

Science Fiction/Double Feature
at a deadly pace
it came from outer space
and this is how the message ran..

original: rocky horror picture show
cover: mefirst & gimme gimmes
cover: the dresden dolls

every halloween it seems quite fitting to find the cult classic rocky horror picture show gracing your cable station repeatedly during the countdown towards the haunted holiday.  by blending science fiction into sexuality, bewilderment was the kind of word to use when the rocky horror picture show musical world of flamboyant and transsexual fantasies truly came to their provocative reality.

back in 1973, richard o’brien wrote the british storyline and shared the rocky horror picture show as a theatrical broadway experience.  however, after a few years of fast success, a movie executive finally purchased the screenplay and created it into the 1975 famous movie that marked the introduction of then new-coming actors tim curry, susan sarandon, meatloaf and barry bostwick.

Time Warp
with a bit of a mind flip
you’re into the time slip
and nothing can ever be the same
you’re spaced out on sensation
like you’re under sedation
let’s do the time warp again!

original: rocky horror picture show

although its important to see the movie and gain an idea of what the crazy mayhem is all about, the most ideal situation to understand the rocky horror picture show in all its glory is to actually attend one of its local theatrical showings as there’s nothing quite like it. based in mostly every city, fans come out at midnight decorated in full cast apparel of drag, lingerie, fishnets, red lipstick, maid costumes and every type of disguise to resemble their favorite characters from the film.

known not to be made for the faint of heart or those with shy reservations,  attendees are expected to dress provocatively, scream obscenities and throw things at people.  according to many venues who share this exhilarating and interactive experience, there is a whole list of props and etiquette to be brought to each excursion.  in some places not all theatres are alike and rules are different for each showing, but nonetheless, the anticipating audience, even the rocky horror picture show virgins, truly all seem to know how to participate and enjoy.

Touch Me
ive tasted blood & i want more
i wanna be dirty
thrill me, chill me, fulfill me
creature of the night

radiohead fusealage mixtape

Thursday, July 14th, 2011

Created as a mad fun-house and disaster zone by UK beloved artists, the Unfairgrounds entranced those looking to escape from the chaos of the Glastonbury Festival this past weekend and buy a ticket to enjoy themselves in a plane and car crash, zombie-filled carnival.

Thom York and Nigel Of Radiohead joined in on the fun, and played a surprise guest DJ set to the limited amount of people that decided to cross over to the dark side. Below is a personal message from Thom, and a mixtape of what was heard during those 4 hours of their DJ set. Please enjoy!

~*~

mmm you know away from the celebrity media circus on the other side of the valley, the OTHER glastonbury happened.
the one you aren’t reading much about, the one they couldn’t hang.
the fun, chilled out and insane one.
the one that couldn’t give a flying toss who you are really. the one we went for.
the one around the stone circle, and under the flags. in the rabbit hole. in the darkest depths of shangri-la.
around the van de graff lightning generator crackling through in soaking sky,
and in a crashed aeroplane fuselage where we and our friends were.. nigel and i Djing.. until dawn
here’s a selection of what we played.

if you don’t wanna stay you can go…

Wednesday, May 11th, 2011

This past Christmas Eve, JJ released their very own mixtape (.zip) featuring their own songs mixed within sounds of greats like M.I.A., Jay-Z, Dr Dre, and Biggie. The cover art from the mixtape above showcases exactly how JJ’s music sounds: sensual, calming, ethereal, and very dreamy.

Listen to ♥ JJ – Angels (Kills, 2010)

Thank you to Gorilla vs Bear for recently sharing a new video for JJ’s Angels. Perfect how some of the visuals showcase Music is Art’s soon-to-be-city of Los Angeles, and provides a quiet form of synchronicity in the most mesmerizing way.

best songs of 2010 mixtape

Thursday, December 30th, 2010

happy new years eve! this is my own personal collection of my favorite songs of 2010. it was a tough decision to narrow down the best from out of 500 tracks, but the below addictions (in no particular order) seemed to take over my speakers for the most of this year. a collection of everything from indie rock, pop, r&b, soul, hip hop, electronica, and acoustics that made music in general feel good again. personally this year was a rollercoaster of happy emotions from moving to florida to starting a new line of jewelry to beginning new friendships to renewing a relationship with my own father, and sad feelings of my own health scares to feelings of uncertainty to an unfortunate loss of family members.  from the bottom of my heart, thank you to these artists who kept on inspiring the love of making and sharing beautiful sounds for those of us who truly needed it to get through this year. may 2011 bring us new special memories of music, art, love, light, and joy!
