Interview, Zeitmahl song & Party Reminder

First of all... I have so many movie reviews... that when I finally have more time, I will be posting a series of these! You have to see THE ROOM... not becuase it is good, but because it is simply one of the worst films, it is hilarious! I caught the late night screening of this on Saturday... it played on all five screens at the Sunset 5 in Hollywood and was SOLD OUT!!!

Moving along now.


AFIN featured an interview with me, focusing on my recent remix and productions. Besides a walk-through on the process of how I create a remix, there is a link to download the first newer Zeitmahl song anyone has heard in five years.
You can view this article here

This is reminder that our monthly party, FIRST FRIDAYS @ Medusa Lounge is this Friday!!!

It will be very exciting as we have tons of goodies from Free Synergy Drinks, Kombucha Tea, Free CDs, your chance to win tickets to see The Orb & Peter Murphy (We have lots of tickets to give away), Miss DJ Vixen Van Go Go from Philadelphia and all of this is FREE if you RSVP and arrive on time!


On Friday, I am hoping to debut my remix for the new Fischerspooner song, "We Are Electric", so if you are a fan, you will be the first to hear it!

I am presently at work, so I must go and watch this airplane get blown up a few times now!

Pomomofo - "Tamagotchi Girl"



I am DJing at a bar tomorrow evening as a one off random slot. I am first hoping to see Emiliana Torrini at The Standard. Wanna go?
Anyhow... yes, DJing tomorrow night at STINKERS in Silverlake.
2939 W. Sunset Blvd ., Los Angeles, CA 90026
323-661-6007



You can not miss the HUGE neon SKUNK outside of the building which is by Silversun, and across from the Silverlake Lounge. Every so often, the bartender, pulls the chord for the TRUCK HORN and then SMOKE is sprayed from a large group of mechanical skunks, placed throughout the bar!

I hope to see you... again, it is a BAR, it is FREE and the prices are amazing.. $2 beers (I dislike beer, but you may love it) There is however a drink I do like there.
I will share tunes from Pink Floyd to Alice in Chains, Danzig to Depeche Mode to Dionne Warwick and back to Revolting Cocks and maybe some Kenny Loggins!



Lastly, besides a quick note to RSVP for First Fridays to get in for FREE and win tickets to see FischerSpooner...

I am excited for Thursday, as I will be attending a pre-release screening of BRUNO, the next film for Sacha Baron Cohen, who brought us Ali G. and Borat.

The full working title is Bruno: Delicious Journeys Through America for the Purpose of Making Heterosexual Males Visibly Uncomfortable in the Presence of a Gay Foreigner in a Mesh T-Shirt and is expected to hit theatres on the 10th of July here in the states.


Have a good evening... after I finish working, I will hit the THREE OF CLUBS with Robert Murphy for an hour or so then back to working I go!

Next Friday: FIRST FRIDAYS from RevellShok in LA

Since our debut party last month was so successful, we are excited to continue and grow with you next Friday, April 3rd!

I know I would have been happy if 50 people would have attended last month, however I was floored when Darren told me we had 375 people by midnight and by the peak of the night, we had over 500 people join us and this is excluding our large guestlist.

People danced all night, they ate, drank, mingled, got to know new folks. It was the best time I have had in ages and glad so many of you brought such positive energy!


Next Friday, is our 2nd party and we have a guest, DJ BlueGirl, on board as well contests for Fischer Spooner tickets and more!

See photos, our setlist, and download free music on http://www.myspace.com/revellshok

The party is FREE before 10:45 if you RSVP here.

Looking forward to seeing you! Our party is your party! If you would like to assist with photos, art, promotions, marketing and or comic relief, please drop a line!

RSVP for FREE admission if you arrive before 10:45

Next Friday: FIRST FRIDAYS from RevellShok in LA

VOTD: Dandys, The The, RLD, First Fridays @ Medusa

Good morning!

As promised I have the new video from The Dandy Warhols, which I will follow with a chaser from one of my favorite bands, THE THE.

But first... I should mention... today will be a long day... I have to be on the set of a film... I am still sick :(

So much to do.. so little time.

I hope to see folks at the Red Light District performance tomorrow night. You can RSVP to get on the mailing list here

It will certainly be fun and The Devil's Playground find entertaining Burlesque.

As I mentioned previously, you will want to arrive EARLY as this event could sell out as it did before 10 or so last time. If you have to miss this performance, we are playing one more time, Thursday, the 5th of March at The Knitting Factory with Jill Tracy, UXG and DJ Xian.



The last piece of news is to announce that starting Friday, the 6th of March and First Fridays after, DJ Darren Revell (Big Sonic Heaven, the late indie 103.1 fm) and I will be bringing a new monthly party event to Medusa Lounge. The music you will hear ranges from all walks of exciting music from a wide spectrum of genres from shoegaze to electro, rock to trip hop, psychedelia to industrialized funky breaks! It will be a place to not only hear songs you love but a place to be exposed to a variety of new tunes and find your new favorites!!! Check the site today! (myspace.com/revellshok)


Enjoy The Dandy Warhols


Here are some videos from The The from years ago!

The first one includes Johnny Marr (The Smiths on guitar)


This next one is from 1986!!!!
It features a certain woman, who sang a certain song about a certain stance by a Buffalo.... do you remember her name? I do! Do you?


The most recent song and video date back 8 years ago now and is PILLAR BOX RED


You may recall Dogs of Lust which was The The's big single in 93-4 and which subsequently led to the tour with Depeche Mode in 1994.
I can provide just a link as this video has been disabled for embedding.

Have a great day!!!
