Normally I Hate Running but...

THIS looks amazing! So if you live in any of these places, I'm incredibly jealous and Electric Run organizers...let's make New Orleans happen? If there are house remixes of brass bands the city would flock in droves.

VooDoo fest Loophole?

I don't know, but this may be a cheaper way to get Voodoo tickets. I doubt a CD pre-order and a t-shirt are the same price as Voodoo tickets.....unless they only let you in to see Deadmau5....but even then, who's checking?

Besides, you also get a Deadmau5 CD and T-shirt! Win win win. Signing up to be a HT+1 member is free and you can choose to ignore the emails about irrelevant merchandise.

F**K David Guetta is TOO FAMOUS. GD.

Oh BTW, this is CLOSE to the stage. F**K.

 
I missed Passion Pit......but dear GOD did I see David Guetta. And his adorable French accent. More to come lata.

:(

Rothbury 2010 is a no-go

Sickest lineup ever.

LOL @ THOM YORKE

ULTRA LINE UP 1

So yesterday was like a second Christmas for me when Ultra Music Festival FINALLY released the first part of their line up. (I bought tickets on blind faith like a month ago because they were cheap-ish). At ANY RATE, not disappointed! Usually I'm Not though.

So right now my Friday Schedule is pretty open: ERIC PRYDZ. DID I MENTION ERIC PRYDZ? I'll get to his set early so I can be in the front row. Like a Boss.

AND Passion Pit will be sick!

On the other hand.....Tiesto is there AS USUAL. And I don't really like him so def won't be there. OR at Will.I.Am who I absolutely loathe, not as much as Fergie though thank God she's not performing.

And on SATURDAY, aka my busy day: DEADMAU5, he's really dope with his blinged out mouse head costume. And GROOVE ARMADA, which I'm really excited about because I don't hear about them performing anywhere....Bloody Beetroots have some sweet tunes, Steve Aoki as well (They roll together pretty much with the LA scene), DIPLO!, and MAJOR LAZR?!?!?!

Pon De Floor featuring Afro Jack & VYBZ Cartel from Mad Decent on Vimeo.

I can't wait to see what kind of show he does.

And that is only the first released part of the line up! Expect more AMAZING DJs coming soon (like David Guetta, because he ALWAYS plays Ultra. And I'm PRAYING for Justice because they've played before. Please. Please Justice).


SO IN CONCLUSION: Now you're coming to Miami for Ultra, right? Trust me, it's worth it.

GHP Weighs in on the VMA Drama

What is going on in the world?! For 30 minutes straight my Facebook feed was like "KANYE YOU SUCK AND YOU ARE RUDE." And I'm like....you know.....finally the world sees him for what he really is. What did he do NOW?

After a little research I find out that he interrupted Taylor Swift's acceptance speech because he was butt hurt--

OH WAIT. I'M HAVING DEJA VU.

Kanye West gets butt hurt at the VMA's in Europe when his video, Touch the Sky I think, loses to Justice's video for D.A.N.C.E. which D.A.N.C.E. was a WAY better video anyway.

Yeah folks, he already did this a few years ago........If only Jesus had gifted Kanye with the great gift of foresight. (Insert 'Jesus Walks' joke here).

Back to the 2009 VMA's.....he's butt hurt that Single Ladies didn't win best female video. If only he DID have foresight, he could FORESEE Single Ladies winning the more prestigious "Best Video of the Year" award. What a fool. I wish he had never came through the wire. Shit.

So basically, what happened:

Taylor Swift aside, THE FIRST TIME HE DID THIS HE DID IT TO JUSTICE. JUSTICE.

How can you challenge JUSTICE? DOES HE LIKE TAKING CANDY FROM BABIES TOO?!

THESE AMAZING FRENCH MEN WHO NEVER DID ANYTHING TO ANYONE. AND WHO MAKE LEATHER JACKETS COOL. AND THEIR MUSIC VIDEO WAS ACTUALLY AMAZING AND DID DESERVE TO WIN. And on THAT note, Taylor Swift's video was kind of cute...not gonna lie. It also helps that MTV's voting audience consists of 13 year old girls. UHHMMMMMM....

So, moral of the story, Kanye West is an asshole. Tell me something I DON'T KNOW. I already can't stand his guts. He's just trying to overcompensate for his short stature or something. Small penis syndrome anyone?

Don't mess with Justice.

Anyway, speaking of Taylor Swift..........I heard this song at a water park over the summer. A WATER PARK. Thoroughly offended.

And also, don't forget to catch Justice at Voodoo Fest 2009. Be there or be LAME. I'm still trying to figure out HOW I'll be there? If I volunteer to be a photographer will they let me dance on stage with Gaspard and Xavier?

SHOW ALERT

WHEW. Took a little break there.

But anyway, here to alert that DEADMAU5 is playing a show:

Done and Done.

Deadmau5 in MIAMIIIII

What's so cool about this guy is his trademark false head. He wears this giant red mouse head when he performs...it has to get hot as balls in there. Well he probably has some kind of BAMF air conditioning installed inside, IDK.

But yeah, funny story. The first time I saw his name I was like..."Wtf? Dead Mau 5? What does that even mean. " Then I realized it was actually Dead Mau5, like Dead MOUSE. Oh he he he, funny funny.

Deadmau5 being dead.

But yeah, if you're in the area....check it out check it outttttt.

New Deadmau5: Ghosts 'N' Stuff
Awesome Vid.

69 EMINEM

I personally can't wait for this movie. Even though he's mocking fashion. D=

The setting: MTV Music awards May 31, 2009
The offense: Bruno (aka Sacha Baron Cohen) flies into the award show with giant angel wings harnessed around himself...bare assed of course. He proceeds to flip over and get lowered into the unsuspecting lap of Eminem. Eminem gets pissed off because a man's bare ass is in his face and his bodyguards slap Bruno around like a pinata. Then Eminem angrily storms out of his seat. With his posse.

Okay I HAVE to give my two cents on how ridiculous Eminem responded to this. Now, nothing against Eminem...BUT COME ON. How many times have you gotten your kicks out of other people's humiliation?
Figure 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
I mean, it happens like once per album. Where is your sense of humor on live TV Eminem?

Understandable that bare ass inches from your face can be rather annoying, but if you can dish as much trash talk as Eminem does then I'd expect him to be able to take it back ten fold. I think Bruno picked the perfect victim for his stunt. And the fact that Eminem took it like a baby makes it so much better.

And I mean Eminem is a small dude. Sacha Baron Cohen is a BAMF (subsitute Bad for Big). My money's on Sacha in a fight. As long as Eminem leaves his bodyguard posse behind and fights like a MAN. You know, like how he "grew up on 8 mile road."

As one youtube user so elequently put it:

"I find it funny how eminen can dish it out but then when the joke is on him he turns into a little bitch. I mean look at his we made you video, yes its funny but he sure made alot of tongue in cheek cracks at celebs and their troubles. Yes this was slighty a bit far but it was a joke. Dont dish it out if you cant take a little dose of your own medicine."

Sorry, no videos of the said stunt because...YOUTUBE SNOBS DON'T LIKE SHARING THE WEALTH. WHATEVER. I JUST WON'T WATCH YOUR AWARD SHOW NEXT YEAR.

I ALMOST don't even want to promote this.

Date: JUNE...2009.
Venue: Club Ampersand. New Orleans. Louisiana. United States of America. Earth. Milky Way. ...
Events:
1. STEVE AOKI on the 13th.

Light skin, dark skin, my ASIAN PERSUASION

The awesome thing about Steve Aoki is that he's like BFFs with the Cobrasnake. And the Cobrasnake travels with him everywhere. So maybe I can meet the Cobrasnake and he'll make me famous like Cory Kennedy. And then I'll get to meet Cole Mohr. Steve Aoki is also BFFs with the likes of MSTRKRFT who are also pretty awesome. And his dad owns a sushi restaurant franchise thing. And his sister is a famous model who was also in Tokyo Drift. LKF.

2. BENNY BENASSI on the 24th.

Oooooh.....DJ C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKERRRR

The awesome thing about Benny Benassi is that he made the song "Satisfaction." And "I Love My Sex." And "Inside of Me."

Age: 18+ (Put your hands up for New Orleans. I LOVE THIS CITY).
Price: So cheap I'm ACTUALLY offended. Tickets in Miami for Benny Benassi run AT LEAST $60. Divide that by....6-ish. I know.

So basically it's going to be EPIC. I'm SOOOOOO going to be there. There's no way I can miss Satisfaction live.

FYT:

STUNNING. ESPECIALLY WHEN THE BASS STARTS. SO FIERCE I CAN'T EVEN STAND IT.

Miami Goes to New Orleans

AHHH! My two cities are joining together....

This past weekend was the WMC, or Winter Music Conference for those who don't know. Basically it's like the trade show for DJs and it is AMAZING (if you're 21 and have lots of spare cash). Literally, EVERY DJ in the world is in Miami for the WMC weekend and there are events left and right and it's crazy. So much going on that you might actually have to make a sacrifice to see someone. (Eg. Do I see Bob Sinclar or David Guetta because they're both playing on the same night). It's amazing.

I can't personally report on the deets because:
a) The DJs are MAJOR acts so a ticket to one of their club shows is about $300 or
b) Getting into the clubs is HARD because EVERYONE wants to get in. Unless you're buying a VIP table and lots of $100 bottles....I'm going to say getting VIP will set you back ATLEAST $400 dollars....chances of getting in are slim.
c) The events are 21+ and on South Beach. And even with an "ID" it's HARD to get into South Beach clubs because they are STRICT.

And outside of the events there is Ultra Music Festival which is for any and everyone. It is probably one of the greatest music festivals on this planet (provided you like nightclubs). For a mere $200 you can enjoy 2 days of DJs, crowds, and overpriced water. And the crowd isn't a normal crowd....I'd say 95% of the people are on some kind of psychadelic/hardcore drug. (Ultra fest aka Ultra ECSTACY Fest). But really it's great. Next time I have $200 lying around in March I'm going for sure.

WMC ASIDE, Club Amperstand is having a "WMC in New Orleans" event. It's destined to be sick because the WMC in essence is GREAT. Attend it!!! Thankfully people in New Orleans have a heart and probably won't charge you $300 to get in.

I don't know who Trent Cantrelle is...but whatever. Live shows are the best kind.

Won't You Back That Azz Up

Oh Hell Naw! They done let this man out of prison so he can go beat up more women and perform a few concerts. Jk jk.

Regular Tickets: $20 at the door $15 advance
VIP: $40 at the door $30 advance and you get a meet and greet with JUVE BBY and access to the sweet lounge areas upstairs.

Official Website

I would also like to take this time to point out some other upcoming events at Republic New Orleans:

Hell, I'd bed him.

On March 27 there's a guy named G-Eazy performing. He looks like he'll put on a really fun show...I'm intrigued. 18+, $5

"G-Eazy is a rapper, producer, performer, graphic designer and video editor. He was raised in Oakland, CA, but is currently based out of New Orleans, LA."

Love that funk.

On May1 we have George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic (with hits such as Atomic Dog "Bow wow wow yippe yo yippe yay"). Sure to be an acid trip. 18+, $35

MIA does the Grammys

MIA was supposed to perform at the Grammys.
MIA cancels her performance because her baby's due date will fall on the day of the Grammys.
MIA changes her mind. Surprise! She's performing at the Grammys this Sundayy!!

BEST. TYPO. EVER.

In my last post I linked to the Wikipedia article on Mardi Gras. I have this habit of doing double letters whenever I end sentences....because it looks cooler and like there's more excitement in the word and whateverrr. You get it right?

Well as I was typing Mardi Gras, i accidentally did the double letter on Gras = Mardi Grass. I thought it would just autocorrect me and send me to the right page, but OH NO NO NO, there is ACTUALLY an event called Mardi Grass. And it celebrates, you guessed it, Cannabis.

Interested in attending, book your plane ticket to New South Wales.

"MardiGrass is a cannabis law reform rally and festival held annually in the town of Nimbin, in north east New South Wales, Australia."


Honestly...not that different from the real Mardi Gras!

Free Food?!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
GO GET IT!

New Years Events..."AROUND THE WORLD"

So here are some events I've been hearing about for the upcoming holiday weekend.

Event 1: Sexy Ass Mofo's playing in DENVER
When: Tonight. DECEMBER 27.
Where: Club Vinyl

This event is sure to be amazing because the guy on the left (Daniel) is SEXY. And when he's DJ'ing he gets even SEXIER, if that's even possible. Basically his sex appeal is offensive and to not be in the same room with him if he's within a 25 mile radius of you is a crime punishable by death.

All sexiness aside, the LA Riots are actually amazing at DJing too. Really fun club music. With eye candy. A win win situation?

Event 2: Amperstand tries to be like David Guetta and FAILS
When: ALSO TONIGHT. December 27.
Where: Club Amperstand - New Orleans


The flyers are pretty nice. However for such a suggestive theme night, I'd expect some hardcore lineup and not people that...always play here...DISAPPOINTING. I'll stick to the real F**K ME I'M FAMOUS...if I ever go to France.

Event 3: GOLDEN HOT PANTS WANTS TO DIE BECAUSE SHE DOES NOT LIVE IN CHICAGO.
Where: CHICAGO, APPARENTLY THE COOLEST CITY EVER.
When Pt. 2: Congress
When: New Year's Eve (12-31-08)


Fuck my life. Seriously. FUCK MY LIFE.

Event 4: Some Shit in Rome.
I'm honestly just showing this one because the flyer is amazing.


Yes. It's so cool, you know it.

And that's all for now.

Events in New Orleans

Samantha Ronson of LiLo fame makes her way to the Big Easy. If I was in New Orleans, I'd def go. Haven't heard her sets before, but I'm curious as hell.
