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."

THANK YOU.

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.

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.

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."

intriguing..

(photoshop disasters)
lmfao.. disclaimer: this is only 'lmfao-funny' if you've been to school for photoshop"

This kinda killed my optimism for a minute.
Sigh... ECIAD kids... Always up to no good. I wonder what would happen to all the egos of art school kids if we were all told we would never be found out. Ah, what then. I wonder if they have security on that rooftop... cuz I'm sabotaging. Penis on head.

AHHH Amazing Race Asia 2's done!!! I'm already bored and waiting for next season. But I gotta admit, can't beat the racers this season. Lucky Rovilson. Aside from being a magazine editor, he's dating Vanessa... do you know how much I want this dude's life?? ( 1 2 ) Marc & Paula too man... I feel like an asian gossip columnist so I'll get back on track. I'm a little disappointed they came in 3rd, but the Singaporeans definately deserved to win. I can only imagine what that experience would've felt like. Ahh can't wait to go back to Asia.






Hahahah wtf is wrong with old people these days? Grow some skin and teach them for fucks sake.

All my posts have been so cohesive lately.

Using the internet on your phone will finally be fast and reliable. Clear images (even if you keep zooming in), embedded media actually playing, and open source platforms that let techies download easy-to-use applications to their phones just like they would on Facebook.

Shell's ex-chairman wants the EU to ban automobiles that do under 35 miles to a gallon, and for the more polluting cars to be taxed more. I say: why the fuck hasn't this been done before??

Watch me crank that Robocop with bionic contact lenses. Freaky.

Heath Ledger
4 April 1979 - 22 January 2008

"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...
