A DECISION!

I've finally decided, after being asked quite a number of times in my lifetime, WHAT is my favorite album. I love all kinds of music and for me, nothing is worse than having to choose one out of the pile. One that seems to transcend all the style, incorporate New York, coolness, fluidity, brooding emotion, joy, and once again, New York, is this --


if you still haven't understood, it's Miles Davis' Miles Ahead, a studio album he did in1957 with the help of Gil Evans. If you're a real New Yorker (I guess I could be after twenty years, so maybe you could be too someday...) this album will really remind you what this city is about and how it still could feel. Give it some time and attention, and this little ditty will be worth your while.

Sometimes I really wish I could drop one of the tunes in during a DJ set. Someday, people will get it. Here's just a taste of what you've been missing.

semi presh wepz

Last night after dinner with the folks, I set off to meet Rosa.



We went to Webster Hall where the Semi Precious Weapons (the Bones played a few shows with them back in the day, it was funny to see this happening) were shooting a music video.

On another note, my best friend Alex's band -- Sleep In -- is playing its debut show at Shea Stadium tonight at 9pm. Be sure to give it a great attempt and come.

How sexy is that? Oh man.


Another song I've been stuck on.

party people waking up slowly

Yesterday I spent the day sitting in this awesome bus waiting to do a shoot for some Tommy Hillfiger something or other. They had me wearing some interesting stuff. One of the hoodies could be zipped all the way up, pretty funny.




Met a few cool people too, this is Lyle. Good kid -- sorry ladies, he's a married man.


This one kept making funny faces, meet Whitney Coble.


Meet my new friend, Royal Buses.
The real icing on the cake was, afterwards I ran to Elsa to DJ a birthday party. The people were really nice and just good folks all around.
I promised that I wouldn't take any pictures at Elsa, but I just had to indulge -- it was kind of funny. Here's some blurry action I got from behind the decks. Good night guys, you really should start showing up.

Miles enjoying himself


David Schulz and other fashion peeps


Believe that's Christian trying to sneak a peak at the next song.


I woke up the next day, rubbed my eyes, and reunited with my friend Rosa who's been in LA for the last four or something years. That's a long time! She'll be back in NYC to stay in May, so watch out. She's working on her album, and a new reality show for E! Some news she had, right?


I have tasted, had, experienced some of the best things the earth has had to offer — on my visit to life.
That’s what it’s like. A visit. You can come, but you’re probably never going to be back (certainly).

I can't believe life's so complex

Last night I went and visited my boys Maximum, Andy, and Mikey at the Hotel Delmano.

They were in top form, just look at them. Come by there and say hey, or that you read about them on The Peach Prince, or that you know Ludwig (which could very possibly just be bullshit, but hey, it's a doggy dogg world and you gotta do what you gotta do).

The sconce on the ceiling was beautiful.

I'd also like to mention how awesome Stella (NEWS) is. Honestly, the coolest woman in the fashion world. (DONT MIND THAT ON MY SCREEN THERES A PICTURE OF ME. ITS NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE I SWEARZ).
++
For all the folks who run around at night, Tonight I'll be doing/DJing a private party at ELSA. Swing through on a jungle vine and have some wine. It'll be fine.
217 e 3rd street. 9pm.

When  I just want to sit here, and watch you undress.
