I'd like to share with you what could very well be one of the sweetest love letters around. Now you have to understand that most things, when seen through the eyes of Dylan Dawkins, aka Persona La Ave , will come out the other end more warped, more other worldly, evidently more sexy and funk-centric than they had once been. Below, please feel free to open this seeming love letter to music - because after all, it does take us higher.
Benny Hill in his sixties heyday. "The notion that Benny was a lonely man is so depressing and wrong. He just liked his own company. He was very happy walking alone, living alone, eating alone, taking holidays alone and going to see shows alone. I often wonder whether he needed anybody else in his life at all…except perhaps a cameraman". - Bob Monkhouse On Easter Sunday morning in 1992, and just two hours after he had been speaking to a television producer [...]
ScHoolboy Q - Habits & Contradictions TDE: 2012 TDE is lighting a creative fire under the ass of the west coast that's equal parts Snoop / DPG swagger, the lyrical camaraderie of Souls of Mischief, and the street-weirdo appeal of the Wu. With ScHoolboy Q's sophomore effort Habits & Contradictions, the appeal of the crew's sound and identity is only further solidified. The beauty of their sound is that it moves comfortably through grainy boom-bap, high-octane club music, and emotive druggy textures as if they were always suppose to [...]
Electro-grunge duo, Ugly Kids Club , out of Nashville, TN hit the nail on the head with their infectious pop song "My Soul", full of dark undertones and a lyrical concept perfectly suited for any passionate music lover. The clean and crisp quality of the recording, likely influenced by Steve's background in music production, blended with the raw energy of Aliegh's vocals leaves us wanting so much more. They sexualize the idea of 'music' so well. Once you've had a taste, we're sure you'll be craving another. "Music is my lover, she's a saint, she's physical, she's [...]
Who cares if Tim Gunn hasn't had sex in 29 years? Well, I guess I do. Sort of. But not for the reason you're thinking. In general, I couldn't care less about the sex lives of celebrities, or semi-celebrities, like Tim Gunn. And I'm not even sure what Tim Gunn does. I've never seen anything he's been on. The only reason I know who he is at all is because in 2006, I was at an Entertainment Weekly party, and a friend of mine started to hyperventilate at the [...]

The ghastly Spectres which were doomed at last To tell as true a tale of dangers past, As ever the dark annals of the deep Disclosed for man to dread or woman weep. -- The Island , Lord Byron In 1960, while on a scouting journey for locations for Mutiny On The Bounty , Marlon Brando visits the atoll Tetiaroa and falls in love with the former home of Tahitian royalty. Two years later, Brando marries his second Mutiny [...]
Several hours ago, my brother Alexi sent me a link to a Gawker article titled "The Secrets Gay Men Don't Want Straight People to Know." Even if the guy in the photo that accompanied the link hadn't been so adorable, how could I resist a hook like that? It was an interesting read. Not because it was particularly insightful, or even completely accurate, but because as I read it, I couldn't figure out whether the title was supposed to be ironic. Take this "secret": "Not All Gay Couples Are Monogamous." Um, duh! Don't the [...]
Contemplating giving it all up and abandoning everything for ultimate freedom has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember. I have always wanted to disappear into the global void with nothing more than my survival instincts and some seed money to begin life anew. A resurrection of my soul. Rob 2.0 and all that. In my research I've uncovered a place where dreams can come true. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you .. Sealand! This old WWII era Sea Fort has been occupied since 1967 [...]
Rarement je me suis tapé une année aussi chargée en déceptions musicales, du coup, si on me demandait dans la rue si 2011 a été une bonne année je répondrais sans réfléchir non, pasque de toute façon, dès qu'on me parle dans la rue c'est soit pour me demander du blé, une cloppe ou tenter [...]
Tommy Trash was easily one of the top breakthrough producers of 2011 and now he is back with his own original mix "Sex, Drugs, Rock N' Roll" to start of 2012. We are also just days away from the release of his highly anticipated remix of Swedish House Mafia's hit "Antidote". Enjoy!

Donald Duart Maclean and Guy Francis de Moncy Burgess Guy Burgess woke at around 9.30 on the morning of Friday, 25 May 1951 in his untidy musty-smelling bedroom. Next to his bed was an overflowing ashtray and lying on the floor was a half-read Jane Austen novel. Burgess had got in the habit of rising relatively late since his return from America three weeks previously where he had been second secretary at the British embassy in Washington. He had left the US in disgrace, and at the British Ambassador's behest, after several [...]

Looks like 2012 is shaping up to be another banner year for white people ! Love how Necro goes at the Occupy douches at the beginning. "MY VIDEO IS AS HOMICIDAL AS MY FOAMSPWING IS.. SO BWUTAL " - NECRO
December 23, 1979, Germs play the Masque Christmas Ball at Whisky-Au-Go-Go, performing what would be dubbed on-stage "art" by singer Darby Crash, self-proclaimed " Maninal ", possessor of "t elevision and supervision ," educated in mind-control by public school Scientologists, an A+ huslter whose world-famous catchphrase was "buy me a beer" and whose demands for "beer and damage" do not go unheeded this night. Watch as Darby, spolight directly in his eyes, eats a book of matches, transforms into a panther, demands each audience member "hit the person next to you," sets fire to his ( A+ ) lyrics (balls-on-fire-great [...]
Bad Passion - Rockin' Your Beats The Toronto based duo are not exactly what you'd hope for when it comes to love songs. These are the kinds of songs you might listen to right after that date where you hear your girlfriend tell you she loves you, and for the first time, you cringe. Where desire meets disappointment. It's tragic, yet you know you have to live there for a moment, so you embrace it, almost as an acceptance of your punishment. Well [...]
Look, there's absolutely no point in us writing anything here, as you're just going to go watch the video right away, aren't you? This isn't some kind of shocking new sensational footage, in case you were wondering. It's just something we stumbled across thanks to the wonders of YouTube. Now that we've burst your bubble [...]
