sequinedserpent : smoreofthis : Grilled Chocolate Banana Melts [ recipe ] this looks so good! Honestly this banana split/s'mores dessert thing might just be the greatest thing we've ever seen. SO HUNGRY NOW.
Announced at the recent Comic-Con , Kiss will be teaming up with Archie Comics for "In your face tales of Kiss/Archie". Apparently Kiss will come to Archie's hometown of Riverdale in the pages of Archie #627, that will kick off a 4-part "Archie Meets Kiss" storyline. Yes, to the left is Veronica, Jughead, Betty and Archie donning Kiss makeup. I don't know about you, but the phrase "in your face" was not exactly a phrase that I equated with Archie Comics or any of those characters at all. To my surprise, it [...]

LA's favorite big and tall DJ Them Jeans (Banana Split, Cinespace Tuesdays) today dropped this drummed up edit of one of my favorite recent tracks from Baltimore's Beach House . Perfect for a melancholic winter Sunday like today. Also included is his edit of "Shelter," which is my after-after party track of the year.

Hundreds of collector sneakers belonging to the late DJ AM will be auctioned off online to benefit substance addiction charities. Starting this weekend, the shoes-both new and used-will be up for grabs via eBay until December 14. The money will go to the DJ AM Memorial Fund, then dispersed to charities. The DJ collected over 800 pairs of sneakers during the past 10 years, including rare releases from Nike, BAPE, Adidas, Converse and Reebok. LA sneaker shop UNDFTD will also display 18 pairs, which will not be included in the auction. [...]
After we all hit up the Hello Kitty exhibit at ROYAL/T last Sunday, we cruised over to the Shangri La hotel to catch up with the guys from So Sweet Records for a little bit before we headed out to the very last Banana Split Sunday... Our adventures at the Shangri La hotel set the tone for the rest of the night. Andy from VisualAdhesive joined in on some random 3 person conga line and started motorboating some chicks butt, then as soon as I turned around, Switch was being harrassed by a couple cops. We all had no clue [...]
Dj Hyphy Crunks stories and good bye to Dj AM / Adam Goldstein . . . I'm writing this at the dinner table of Adams remembrance, I couldn't find the words for the longest time but we are all hear telling stories and looking over photos and I have it all inside of me right now and feel the words need to get out . . . I was getting filmed a second ago and really stumbled on my words because there was so much to say but I was told 45 to 60 [...]
Don't fear the hungry wallet, everything here is free.
I was DJing in Chicago a few ago and ended up spending the entire weekend there. Chi-town is a dope place for DJs like myself to play & also they got some pretty dope producers and MCs. I don't need to start name dropping Chicago peeps or I'll be here all day making hyperlinks, but what I do need to start doing is introduce this weeks exclusive cuts. Recently the parts for "Juke Dem Hoes" by Mic Terror popped up in my mailbox so you know I had to do sumpting w/ that. I figured I [...]
Harvested the first of this season's tangerines today. They are so outrageously organically sweet & succulent, eating one is almost as good as eating some pussy. I said almost! They're like a burst of sunlight. Right now I'm also in the process of getting the winter crop fava beans in, I'm still working on their trellises. Favas (really a vetch, not a bean, but classified as a legume) loosen the soil about two feet down & draw nutrients from as deep as ten feet. Plus they fix about 200 pounds of nitrogen per acre (enough for the most demanding spring [...]
For those of you that live outside of southern California.... Banana Split is a weekly Sunday night party in LA hosted by DJ AM , Steve Aoki , and Mike B . A couple of weeks ago they celebrated the two year anniversary with an all-star lineup including Busy P , Jesse from MSTRKRFT , and DJ Falcon . Mike B was kind enough to record the sets and share the recordings with us. Make sure you check out his blog and stop by LAX [...]
Cheers to DJ AM and crew for 2 years of great Sunday night parties in LA. Big 2 year anniversary party is tomorrow night (Sunday). Filtered french house goodness all night long with special guest DJ Falcon and some surprise guests!
Listening to music on-the-go has come a long way since I was in high school. I remember how I did it back then, driving to school in my 1977 Chevy Caprice Classic Station Wagon with faux wood paneled siding. I'd pick through the dozens of cassettes lying on the passenger's seat. Once I found something that suited my mood, I'd crank it as loud as I could through the KLH home stereo speakers I had jerry-rigged into my car stereo system and perched, unsecured, on top of the back seat of the car. I remember pulling into the [...]
Tomatoes and corn and longer shadows. That's August to me. Here's #6 in this Summer series. Forgetting to bug any of my more artistic friends to make cover art, I did this one myself... and it shows. But musically, this one turned out pretty good. Have a good weekend. DOWNLOAD SUMMER FRIDAYS #6 Here's the track list: 1. The Kinks - Party Line 2. Envelopes - I'd Like 2 C U 3. The [...]
Stage Setting The Go-Betweens, Wait Until June. Hall and Oates, Wait For Me. The Banana Splits, Wait Till Tomorrow. Well, I'm still in the process of slowly assembling the first of this summer's theme posts, which should be ready to go up sometime next week. Or so I told my foreman. Still lots of logistical decisions to make--where to put the dancing bears? the quartet of camels? the
First off, I'd like to thank everyone who took the time to comment on my last post. I felt a little dizzy from all the praise, but the consensus was that whatever I'm doing here is working for you folks. That's nice to know, as I'm too complacent and old to change my ways at this point. No real theme for today's posts, just a collection of random thoughts with musical accompaniment. ----------------------- Concerning last night's Grammy Awards: I'm not a fan of The Police, as I consider them the kind of [...]
