RevellShok - FREE FRIDAY @ Boardners!

VOTD: Jackson's Last Dance

It is late, but I am just home from work and have to return there in just 7 hours.

The video for the day is Michael Jackson's rehearsal for what was to be his upcoming world tour.
I do not have cable not even a traditional TV and I do not have a radio, so I know I have not be as inundated as most folks with coverage. It is still fresh and being that his music was instrumental in my affinity toward music, there is a persistent sting in the heart for this loss.

I was still a fan and even admired some of his more recent work like "2000 Watts" and "Earth Song".
Here is one of his final performances.

Btw, I am delighted that so many people have been RSVPing for this coming evening's First Fridays event at Medusa Lounge :) I saw Darren Revell earlier this evening at Kung Pao Kitty, on my way home from work and he is just as excited. David J. was djing there and sadly he can not attend, but I will get David to do a Bela Lugosi Michael Jackson song one day!

Signing off and getting back to working on my Thriller mix for the midnight Zombie Dance routine. If you can attend and or join in the dance or bring a camera, still or video, drop me a line :)

Best Wishes and enjoy the video!

VOTD: Jackson's Last Dance

First Fridays & Thriller, July 3rd @ Medusa Lounge LA

Join us next Friday, July 3rd, to celebrate the beginning of an amazing Summer of Life, Music & Dance!

We have lots of special treats & surprises in store.

It was a very sad day for many on June 25th with the passing of Michael Jackson. His music and artistry had a profound effect on my life. From his forward thinking, yet hugely pop-structured songs to avant garde futuristic military fashions to groundbreaking music videos featuring worldly influential dance routines, motion picture quality special effects and even Captain EO, he managed to influence culture on a myriad of levels.

As a young fellow, I remember watching THRILLER's debut on MTV at a friend's house party. Nearly our entire school class gathered to watch this world-wide premiere. I later would think it was cool to entertain friends, having learned the entire dance moves to his routines from the videos such as Thriller and Bad. I can still rock the moonwalk! I have to thank MJ influencing my affinity with music and entertaining in general to have become a musician and performer.

So in memory of Michael Jackson, along with the ingredients which create our monthly party so well received by you, we are featuring a midnight presentation of the famed THRILLER DANCE.

If you would like to join the special routine and have even halfway decent dancing skills, please contact me fda@newgrounds.com
Seeking videographers, photographers and zombies!

The party runs from 9-2am. The colors red, black and silver, Michael Jackson jacket or sparkly glove are strongly encouraged.

Millenium Products, is once again, providing Synergy Drinks & Kombucha Tea (FREE) for rehydration after you have been dancing madly!

Darren Revell (Big Sonic Heaven, Indie 103.1fm) and I will be spinning a variety of music to get you rocking the dancefloor fever!

From Depeche Mode to Sonic Youth, Ladytron to Duran Duran, The Stone Roses to The Prodigy, Stevie Wonder to Killing Joke, The Cult to Royksopp, Ministry to Justice, Alex Metric to IAMX, we have you covered.

FREE RevellShok July Top Picks Mix CDs will be handed out during the night!
FOOD at Medusa Lounge is fantastic too, so save room for delicacies!
FREE admission from 9-10pm with RSVP and $5 after.

Bring your cameras & comfy shoes. Be prepared to have an amazing party.

We look forward to seeing you!!!
