Club Queen Forever

RIP Khia 'K-Swift' Edgerton
1980-2008
Pay respect to where respect is due.
"The thousands of fans who filed into Morgan State University's auditorium for Khia Edgerton's funeral yesterday could recite her accomplishments: recording artist, radio personality, leader of an underground music movement.

But during the two-hour music-filled ceremony, those fans learned how Edgerton rose from spinning records in her family's Randallstown basement to become "K-Swift," leader of Baltimore's club music scene. The story is a by-the-book lesson on the value of hard work.

"She didn't talk about building an entertainment empire - she just did it," said Marc Clarke, of radio station 92Q, where Edgerton was the first female DJ. "She didn't talk about losing 170 pounds. She just did it. And she didn't rely on a man to build her dreams. ... She didn't bat her eyes."
(Baltimore Sun)

This instantly became one of my faves after I watched it. The boys' jackets were killin ittt. I've got a thing for misunderstood protagonists. Reminds me of a certain person sometimes *sniff*. Look at how into it these kids are. It's like me watching Ironman.

The Arrival

I miss Asia...

A few days ago I went and saw the KRAZY! exhibit at the Vancouver Art Gallery. Fuckin. Kill. I'm no anime or comic book nerd or anything but it was bomb. Don't miss the big room with Akira playing on 4 walls and sofas to pass out on (made for meee). After seeing Shaun Tan's "The Arrival" at the exhibit, I went and picked it up at Chapters yesterday. This book is insanely beautiful. I don't wanna call it a graphic novel cuz it isn't like any of them. You gotta "read" it to know what I mean.

Very, very interesting. Why can't they make this free to watch online like Zeitgeist?? Creationism v Darwinism. "A person should not believe in an ism" :D No, but seriously. Can we just drop the atheist-religious-secular definitions and just listen?? Believe in whatever. Do whatever. Stop being so categorical.

The Phone

The series, which is based on a Dutch reality show format, begins each episode with two hidden cell phones ringing at opposite ends of a major city.

Contestants who answer the phones will have five seconds to decide if they want to play along for a cash prize, and a guide on the other end of the line then gives contestants a mission to complete before time runs out.

As they race through the city on their adventure, a helicopter tracks their every move. MTV described the show as a wild and cinematic ride reminiscent of such films as The Bourne Identity.

"Genre-busting and reinvention is at the core of what we do, and The Phone does just that," Tony Disanto, MTV executive vice-president of programming and series development, said in a statement.

"Each week will be an action-packed mini-movie," he said. (24 Hours Vancouver)

PAULO IS EXCITED!!! Guess who's hosting it? And what happens when people pretend to be a part of the production team and gets random people to do random shit with no actual prize? Ooooh... chaos. Check out the Dutch site. That PNAU song is the only one that makes me mosh in my room. Mosh w/o violence, of course.

Janelle Monáe. yea she my wifey.

Sneak

Missed this song so much! COS WE ON THE ATTACKKKK

Peep the suspected official "Seeing Sounds" album cover. Ironic cuz I just handed in my cd cover assignment on Monday after 2 weeks doin it. GUESS WHAT ALBUM I CHOSE?? Yes, deviantart (yea yea yea i know, amateur anime world). I know NERD was goin for an epic look, but... I don't know. Maybe it's the whole "anti-trend" trend goin on all of a sudden.

MEAN TIME, "A.K. ALL THE WAY!" DIME.


Who coined "staycation"?????
I wish I had these directing me to cheap buys. But that'd probably look more like those arrows in NFS Underground. Yeyuhhh.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Need. Tickets.

4REAL is my kinda show!!! I defnly joined the community! I watched the MIA show and was hella drawn to Kimi's story. He was pronounced dead and thrown on top of corpses when he was a kid (he wasn't really dead, just dying of starvation) and he comes back and does this?? Hero quality. Anyway, it also amazed me how they lined up for a turn on the slide. A turn on the swingset. So many things I take for granted are like dreams-cum-true in places like Liberia. Watch this show if you get the chance!

Still can't get over this vid!! (and the show!)


The Publics say: "At 23, Argentina based illustrator/designer Gianluca Fallone has already worked for brand heavyweights like Nike, MTV and the Cartoon Network. His pop-psychedelic style and knack for self-referential ad design reads like a unique blend of Kashiwa Sato and Chuck Anderson." FALLONES GOT IT GOIN OWN!!!

By the way, Sean Avery's interning where? I could see him doin Men's Vogue or GQ though.

HELL YEEEEA!! this right here epitomizes the club scene in vancouver. satisfaction. satisfaction. satisfaction.

I remember you told me you loved this band. I know you aren't hurting anymore, and that's what makes all of us so happy. We miss you but things are probably better this way.. Good luck out there :)

Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium

Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium (2007)
imdb

One of the most magical, significant, and reassuring movies I've seen in my entire LIFE. If you liked Waking Life, Last Mimzy, The Secret or even Zeitgeist, you might get the big idea in this movie. When people see this movie (even professional film critics), they either get it or they don't. There are a lot of very cynical criticisms about the movie, and just as much praise for it so it is DEFINITELY not for everyone.

Haven't heard this song in yearsssss

N*E*R*D - hella on point!!!!!!! new shit: anti, spazz, everyone nose--bomb. synesthetic visuals. definately rockin like they do from now on. (still wanted to hear 'kill joy' though. lmao @ the fob term). "People's energies are made of their souls. When you die, that energy may disperse but it isn't destroyed." - Pharrell
Intro/Concept - "searchin the universe for creativity..." this dude's way off this earth and he knows it. good lookin out for us dreamers. great flow from song to song (worked out like a story).
Stage/Visuals/Effects - 11/10. if i was a stage designer, i wouldnt have done much different.
Performance - Kanye was the only person on stage for the whole 90 minute set (no breaks either)... that says something. Loved how he made everyone say "im sky high" and all that other good motivational stuff (15-20 times over and over again).

"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great." - Mark Twain

He knows that only the greatest people make other people feel like they can be great too. Im getting the feeling he understands that when you spread your wealth (non-material or material) around, you get even more back. I know I hella sound groupie right now, but I dont know of any other rapper/artist (off the top of my head) that tries this hard to influence other people to chase their dreams so sincerely. Sure, some musicians donate money and raise awareness for things, but it doesn't always affect everybody. But when you're talking about dreams and potential--that's something everyone has. The idea of changing the world through individual advances in character, instead of spending millions and trillions of dollars on short-term fixes is without a doubt MUCH more effective in solving some of our problems right now. Much respect to West & N.E.R.D

WOW essay. Anyway, they needa put this out on DVD.

The Moment's Ramble

Throwback. You know how I am with bmore club.

This entry was just too good to not write another entry about. Yo! Nobody asked you to ask yourself "who posts other posts?" This rubber cement isn't doin me focus much good. Now, I'm gonna pull shit out of that blog to put on my blog. Get at me plagiarism officers, I'm not citing my references properly.

"The Web is not just for pornography anymore. Now it’s where art and commerce have their first date, get engaged and formalize the nups. The Web is the space where you hear about what’s new, and then before you and your fellow fanboys can gush, it’s cycled through. Witness the phenomenon where people apologize on their blog when they’re “late” (perhaps a week) to linking something that’s floating around the trendy Web sites, as though they’ve let you down. You and their 11 other readers."

Eerie. Ambiguous. Cold. How the hell did they make graphics like these in the 60's?? 2 hours into it is a straight trip. Definately not recommended for anyone who isn't interested in sci-fi, extraterrestial life, evolution, and technology--it'll just bore you (there's only a tiny amount of dialogue). The monolith scenes shook me. I still don't know what to make of this movie... But I wanna buy it. Dug up this awesome poster for the film...

East of Eden

East of Eden (1955)
imdb

One of my most, most, most favourite films of all time. It's easily a contender for my #1 spot. I've seen this movie about 8 times and it never grows old on me. James Dean's character totally seeps through. Out of his 3 films, I honestly think this is his best. Most people will tell you it's Rebel or Giant but I think with this being his first big break, his innocence completely helps define Cal. It gets me wondering though, how much of his acting was really just him finding a medium to let it out. Out of all my idols, he's definately the most like me. He's a sculptor, painter, photographer, menace, intellect and did everything he felt like doing.

"Live fast, die young, and leave a good-looking corpse."
Why does this always seem to happen?
But they never really die... No one does.

It isn't his superstar status or the media attention that got me floored when I heard about this today. He crafted his talent further and further and further. Most people would only dream of taking their talents any further, but he spent his talent lavishly. For that, I have an immense amount of respect for him. For sure, he's just crossed another milestone in his life and he's on his way to doing more and more with his life. Just like they all do. I wish him the best of luck.

It's kind of ______ how fast they update IMDB and Wikipedia to reflect this stuff. There's something that feels really wrong about it but I can't put my finger on it...
