HAPPY B-DAY MOM! Plus more awesome videos and even more pointless babbling . . .

HAPPY B-DAY MOM!!! Love you! Why don't you just go crazy and have yourself a fuzzy navel or a few screwdrivers @ dinner!?!? smoke a joint before bed, go sing kareoke, hit the strip club on your way home etc.... hahahahahaha. jk. i'm not familiar with any of the above, nor condone it. (FYI: both of my parents are conservative, christian, no swearing, drinking, smoking, etc. . . hence making this funny! now i work in rock n' roll, and my brother jumps out of planes everyday. hahaha)

i just came across some cool stuff on the world wide web that is notable and worth sharing . . . like these behind the scenes videos w/ superduper star SAM SPARRO @ both of his video shoots for his #2 Hit Song "BLACK & GOLD".


SAM SPARRO is amazing behind the scenes too! (Making of "Black & Gold" video #1)


SAM SPARRO is still f-ing awesome with a huge ass budget (Making of "Black & Gold" #2)

oh yeah and i think this gameshow rules - - i would really kick ass at this game, as I'm an acrobat and contortionist. true story.

also i love playing Tetris.

BEST GAMESHOW EVER - HUMAN TETRIS

speaking of awesome shit from Japan - - someone please buy me this thing. it's so cute. Evan turned me onto this thing via his myspace blog - - it's called the ROLLY. and it's amazingly cute.

ROLLY - new sony dancing mp3 player from japan
p.s. how rediculous is the song they use in this commercial - - zoinks. that shit is super retarded. can't sony come up with a better song for Rolly to dance to?

like this one:

HYPER CRUSH vs. LMFAO making of 'This Is My Life'
listen for my super loud possibly annoying laughter at the end of the video . . . it's good stuff.

did you see 30 rock last night?
I almost pissed my pants when Tracy Jordan started dancing and singing THIS:

Billy Joel 'We Didn't Start The Fire'

(fun fact! i remember owning this as one of my very first cassettes. i think i stole it from my dad perhaps - - did i? hmmmm. all i remember is rewinding the tape so many times to try and learn all the words, but never actually getting it down. the tape would always break. the first cassette tape i was allowed to listen to in the car was the Oak Ridge Boys 'Elvira'. The writing was already on the wall - haha - i was destined to get a job in the music biz, seeking out new music so that I can expose the kids of today with more jems like 'Elvira' and 'We didn't start the Fire'. haha Oak Ridge Boys 'Elvira' - - hahaha! wow looks like my taste hasn't changed a bit! haha)

p.s. i guess i should probably start getting my tix and stuff for coachella right? hahaha. nothing like sorting it out at the last minute! that's how i roll. if anybody wants to share the wealth, kiss my ass for some reason, or if you have an abundance of extra coachella tix and or/passes, email me or comment here k thx! :)

p.s.s. happy bday mom again! the present is in the mail, and already more than 15 min late. that's how i roll again.

Adele

Now that Heather has gotten me absolutely addicted to 30 ROCK, it was amazing that I managed to peel myself off the couch to go do anything else this last couple of weeks... But I did. And I am sure glad I did.



About a week ago I got the chance to see ADELE at the Hotel Cafe. I found out about this show a day after the tickets went on sale and nearly screamed in my office when I saw that they were already sold out, lucky for me, my friend Ryan had an extra ticket and decided to bring me along.

I have to admit that I had only heard a couple of songs, CHASING PAVEMENTS (her single) being the only one I could actually pick from a line up, and it looked like most of the crowd was in the same bost (minus that one girl who was dancing and singing along with every word). She was great. Obviously, I knew she would sound great, but she was also cracking jokes and admitted that she was a bit nervous. She seemed as though she was a normal girl, who lucky for all of us has been blessed with incredible talent and a killer voice.

Adele won a Critic's Choice BRIT award this year and has been playing to sold out crowds in the UK. Our good friend Sam Sparro will be opening for her this May in the UK. Her CD is yet to be released in the US, though I take it that it should be coming soon. She does, however have a single on iTunes of HOMETOWN GLORY, which I recommend downloading since I know you have a dollar worth of change in your seat cushions that you have been considering putting to good use...

But for now, check out her video for Chasing Pavements:
