GO BUY THE NEW 24-7 SPYZ ALBUM NOW!! IT'S FUCKING AWESOME!!! No I'm not street team'n for those cats!
I want a new 60G iPod (black), if anyone from Apple is checking out my site hook me up! cause I'm not trying to pay $400.00 for that freeging thing...
I watched "Cinderella Man" man last night...kick ass movie...I'm gonna try and check out "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" later tonight if I can stay awake...
I shot Blackalicious, the Lifesavas & Pigeon John last Friday the 31st...I got to the show late so I missed the Savas and Fatlip's set (pissed about that) I heard Lip did a few Pharcyde tunes...
I saw Lip at the venue walking around looking like a zombie. He had that "28 Days Later" vibe working. Dude had a really bad limp or a cool walk I couldn't tell..he was rocking this raggedy hobo gear and looking like he hadn't showered in a month. C'mon now your not getting any residuals from the Pharcyde albums!?! Go cop some new gear duke and ease up on the blunts, it's not a good look...
Anyway, I knew my boy Jay was going to interview him later and I wasn't doing anything at this point in the evening except drinking beers and scoping out the honeys so I figured why not take a few snaps of Lip as well. I saw him at the merch stand while I was talking with Vurs and asked if he had some time later would he mind talking a few photos, he was like cool at least I think that's what he was mumbling...
Here's the breakdown: Jay wrapped up his 5 minute interview...Lip approached me I said "Ok lets get some shots over here by this graffiti on the wall" mind you this was the same place me and Pigeon John took photos earlier. Lip seemed ok with it at first, I couldn't really read him he was acting so fucking weird. I started getting funny vibes from him on the way over to where I wanted to shoot, like dude thought I was gonna beat his ass or something. He changed his mind and said "Nah dude I'm straight" *confused look on my face* ok, what theee fuck eva bro...I kept it moving...
I will say this Lip's new solo album is tight.
Had a chance to get together with Pigeon John and the Savas for some photo ops (they were all hella cool - always are) spoke with Vurs he was like "Damn bro, I wish you would have gotten to the venue earlier so we could have taken some photos for the next album"....We talked a little about me potentially doing some work for there next release, can't say much else about that right now...
Published new photos from the Lifesavas, Pigeon John, Cuong Vu and Manny Valera...have a look when you get a minute...
I'll be shooting Asobi Seksu (colloquial Japanese for playful sex) in Rochester on Sunday 4/09
Here's a link ---> http://www.asobiseksu.com/
Do a google and your bound to read about the "My Bloody Valentine" influence when critics write about the band, it's not unwarranted there sound does have elements of the mighty MBV in it of course, but I think there's a lot more to them than that, see for yourself, if they come to your neck of the woods go check em' out, or god forbid go out to a record store (yes there ARE still mom and pop record stores out there) and buy there new album...
I'll check in again later this week...
Peace
