Here we go into the final leg of the Holiday season! Focus now is on Christmas and New Year's Eve. I was never into holidays until I had a family of my own. I would bail out. Disappear from sight. Surface when holidays were over, and my phone would start ringing around January 8th. I thought iI had the right idea at the time, but I can remember some very sad- cold moments when I ran out...

We are stuffed. We are satisfied. Thanksgiving may be my favorite holiday because I am reminded that all denominations celebrate it together. Yes, all Americans express thankfulness, and gratitude by cooking the ultimate comfort food for their friends, and families. That's a plan. My only regret is that I didn't make it over to my friend Tommy's for his soul food dinner that his mom and his...

Hez and Izzy are getting into Ozzie. They go around the house singing Sabbath songs like Paranoid, and Iron Man. Not sure of the words- they make up their own- and now they have mutated into what I honestly think is top notch punk rock- funny as shit lyrics (For a 5 and 7 year old.) I AM IRON MAN, SMELL MY WIENER IN MY HAND. That's how I started. I would sing songs for people. They weren't...

You know, Christmas bells. They are already here. Doesn't it seem as though Christmas bells come earlier and earlier every year? As if someone will get the jump on what they put in our heads to buy. The average Christmas shopper spends 650.00 Dollars on presents. That's for everyone. That means there are allot of shitty and impersonal 20 dollar presents going to be passed around-and around......

The last time I was in San Paulo was around ten years ago. I came to dj a club here. The nightly promoter did not know who I was. He heard my sound check and came up to me saying it was drum and bass night- and that I couldn't play house music tonoght. I explained that I didn't spin drum and bass. He told me to take a hike. His clients expected drum and bass. We had no where to go because we...

Halloween in New Orleans. I really was afraid; walking down Bourbon St. as the evening grew later and later. We stopped and asked a vampire and his cow/girlfriend the best way back to the W. They truly are some friendly people here. I think we should wear costumes all year round. It's relaxing. Actually there wasn't a better place to spend Hallowed Eve than New Orleans. The route to the Voodoo...

People generally don't mind chopping you down, grinding you up, and using you as fertilizer to make their own gardens grow. I have enemies. I saw one tonight at the grocery store. I was only glad to see him because he looked like shit. Like life had been treating him as cruelly as he had treated me when we knew each other. I always question what I did to deserve my enemies. Etty says that you...

I have posted some new pics from NYC Fashion Week. I was invited by John Varvatos to help him select a rock group for his new campaign. While there, my pal Mattie Silver threw a great party and had Santigold jump up and sing a few songs. Etty and I love Santi's vibe and voice. We have performed with her in Miami's Ultra Festival, and she did a great performance for us @ Lolla this summer. As...
