'DJ' Pauly D





So for those of you who follow me on twitter you might remember that I was at the 'DJ' Pauly D show at Gossip last Wednesday. As expected the music was not what you can usually get for $35 in Vancouver but my interest was the experience itself and not the music this time.


One thing that was unexpected was the crowd. Girls were in their hottest outfits and as each of them shamelessly puckered up in front of the bathroom mirrors, you could see it in their eyes: the secret (or not so secret) desire to get Pauly's attention and be the chosen lady who gets to do him. But let me tell you the sexual drive is a powerful drug and those girls were primal, survival of the fittest was definitely the theme of the crowd. 




I was at Bloody Beetroots last November and Skrillex in January and even compared to those young kids full of energy, high on fuck knows what, these guidette wannabes were fucking tough to keep up with. Granted I'm 5'1" and was in a sea of heeled girls in all shapes and sizes but I'd like to think I'm pretty good at holding my ground in a raging crowd. 


One girl tried to climb up the bars to the booth and the bouncer had to literally punch her down cuz she was not giving up. Was outside having a cig and one big blondie had to be tamed by four huge bouncers, which took them long enough for me to finish a cig, which if you smoke you know that's a pretty decent length of time. I'm not gonna exaggerate though, there were some surprisingly nice girls and other chicks going just for kicks. 




Anyway can't say much about Pauly D. As a DJ he was definitely not doing it for me but I just watched the latest episode of Jersey shore tonight and I realized he's got some game so I guess I can see where the crazy fans come from. Didn't get any decent pics so I stole some off nightbat.com where I bought the tix for the show.




Annnddd these are the shots I got...






Yes, 90% of my pictures are of people taking pictures. Hopefully the videos are more helpful:

Thursday Throwback Tune: 'Feathers' by Nujabes

Nujabes aka Jun Seba was a Japanese hip-hop producer, tremendously talented. He passed away a little over a year ago in a traffic accident at the young age of 36 but his impact and music will be loved forever. Rest in peace big guy.


My favorite Nujabes song, Feathers:

Thursday Throwback Tune: Matisyahu





For the unfortunate souls whose ears have not been blessed with the goodness that is MATISYAHU:


'Matisyahu fuses the contemporary styles of rap, beatboxing, and hip-hop in general, with the more traditional vocal disciplines of jazz's scat singing and Judaism's hazzan style of songful prayer—more often than not rolling it all into a dominant background of reggae music' - Wikipedia



Matisyahu has been for a while now but it popped up on my iPod after not hearing it for a while...almost forgot how good they were. So here's to a thursday throwback tune:

I Love my Dub: Skrillex


Saw the Skrillex show on Thursday night @ the Pit Pub on the UBC campus. I'm the type of person that can appreciate a large range of musical genres but dub step is definitely up there among my favorites. He played a variety of stuff but dub, I love. It takes over your body and taps into your inner most primal instinct to release the fiera within all of us. Unfortunately the 'bouncers' a.k.a. meat head varsity jocks were being douches as usual, shoving fans around, pulling back Sonny after he dove into the crowd, and snatching away his cig. Yeah I know you aren't allowed to smoke indoors in Vancouver, legislation that was kind enough to be passed just before I moved here, but yo, it's Skrillex and it's the Pit: WHO GIVES A FUX. Majority of the people were on shit much worse than cigs but hey, it's no secret that society has their priorities fucked up. Anyway sick show, good music, talented kid: Skrillex ftw.




Not the best quality but it will do.
