Holy Hell Ya! Nights . . . This Thursday, Next Thursday, etc....

I am so excited about this thursday - - I have been so f-ing busy that I haven't even been able to blog, read the la weekly, listen to new hot tunes on other blogs, etc.. all of my regular routine. I've actually been in the studio with the band I signed - DUKES OF DAVILLE - which is the most exciting part of my job. I love just being there, being a fly on the wall and watching the magic happen. I can't wait till this record comes out, it will be so exciting. My first big project, and it's really really really really really really good. I'm not just saying that because I work on it - - I'm a fan first, A&R / Label person 2nd.

So . . . back to this thursday night! All I can say is, PITTSBURGH SLIM is the SHIT pass it on! I am so excited to represent the 412 and have SLIM on this Hell Ya! night. Plus - - he has a new track with Cisco Adler, who has been busy producing, promoting and being in the band Shwayze etc.. They might just do a secret track together - - fingers crossed!

Looks like I'm bringing the Sunset Strip to the ECHO - - HELL YA.


I think everyone made their own flyer - - good times! Here's another one! :)

Yep. I've been a bad blogger. I slack so f-ing bad as a blogger - I should go to blogger detention. Anyways, I do have a bunch of excuses I could throw at you on why I've been absent, like - my dog ate my homework yada yada, but I'd rather cut to the chase and tell you what's happening now.

So yeah, moral of this story/blog is . . . HELL YA! has been busy booking some solid shows and you should not miss out on this action!!

my new macbook! videos i love + more shows this week!

First off - a bigggggggg time thank you to STEVE BRIGHT over at the Apple Store in Glendale! He saved my life - well he literally saved my computer - which is my life. So while my Powerbook is in Computer Rehab for too many illegal downloads (jk - i just really beat that thing up!) I now have this new AMAAAAZING Macbook - it's Black and beautiful. sooooo many new features, my brother PHIL just somehow connected with my computer and could take over the screen via IM. what a great feature - especially for computer retards like me, who can't even figure out how to send an email from my .mac account! haha
anyhoo - - i'm back with my new computer and all i want to do is work/blog/and surf the net!

here are a few sweet videos i've been watching on repeat:

BRITNEY SPEARS 'Piece Of Me' Video
(FINALLY she looks amaazing - and this is my 2nd fav song off her album - - 1st is 'Toy Soldier!')


SNOOP DOGG 'Sensual Seduction' video
(AMAAAZING. thanks Mitchell @ spaceland for the tip. this video is genius!)
*p.s. why the hell does Universal block all of the embedded codes on Youtube? don't they know that somebody will post it again - so why don't you just let us help you promote your own artists! help us help YOU!


PLUSHGUN 'Dancing In A Minefield' video (made by Plushgun Dan himself! wtf genius! and it includes PETER GRIFFIN. HELL YESSSSS.)


PITTSBURGH SLIM IS THE SHIT PASS IT ON!
***He's playing the ROXY TOMORROW NIGHT! You are bound to see alot of Lipstick lesbians there -- this time it won't be me! hahahaha


LMFAO 'Clumsy' (remix!) video (love this remix more than the original!)

Then I need to borrow a time machine w/ flux capacitor to transport me to th ECHO to see this:

WAIT THINK FAST (which happens to feature my super team of production Jaqueline & Matthew! Listen to their music on myspace HERE and listen to them on my podcast HERE.

Ok i have to pull myself away from my new mac and get ready!

oh yeah . . . does anybody have any suggestions for a really awesome DJ name for ME? IF so, post a comment here or my myspace page. DJ Heather Peggs needs an update . . . I've had suggestions, some good, some funny, and some rediculous.

Here are a few:
DJ Hell Ya! ?
Hell Ya! Deejay ?
DJ Peg Leg - - um NO. I'm not a pirate.
DJ HAHAHA - this one is funny - and so true.
DJ Gumby - I think i left this nickname back when I left KROQ.

SUGGESTIONS? COMMENTS? CONCERNS? What videos are you into right now? Lets get some TYLER SHIELDS Style Comments going here!!! :)

Dan Le Sac Vs. Scroobius Pip TONIGHT & Tomorrow! Plus more shows this week!!

holy crapola. is it me or is there a buttload of great shows from now until xmas break?

i thought it was sopossed to be the slow season . . . but i guess not for the music biz! looks like it's 'no sleep till december 22nd' for me! i'll be able to catch a few zzzzzz's from the 22nd - 27th while in pittsburgh, visiting the family. (freezing my ass off!!)

i'm sure while i'm there i will try to squeeze in some business, like visiting gregg gillis (girltalk), the band SHADE (who are so good, especially if you have taste like Jax - ROCKINSIDER & Kevin Bronson - shoegazer indie rock dream band)

so from now until the 22nd - here is my tentative schedule. i'm sure every day i will add more shows/parties to the schedule, as i suck at planning ahead.

monday, december 17th:

*Reeve Carney @ Mollie Malones
Yep - fresh of HELL YA! @ the Hotel Cafe show (which was amaaaazing btw)
now he goes back to his roots and is doing another monday night residencey @ Molly Malones.

huge props to the hot bookers of Girlschool & evan for the heads up on this one! you guys sure do know my taste in music!!)
**Dan Le Sac Vs. Scroobius Pip @ Cinespace
this one is a must. i am so jealous i didn't get this show. boooooo to me. i give myself a big 'hell no' for dropping the ball. oh well, can't get em all. maybe next time.

since i've already exausted posting his last 2 videos both HERE and HERE, how about his new video (which uses some radiohead as the backing track - - nice and ballsy! i wonder if they got clearance for that - - and if so how much??)

Dan Le Sac vs. Scroobius Pip 'Letter from God' video (FEATURING RADIOHEAD! HELL YA that is BALLLSY!)

saturday, december 22nd - 27th: xmas in Pittsburgh (BRRRRRR!!!)

friday, december 28th: back in business! haven't even thought about my schedule this far in advance . . . any suggestions? what is everyone doing for NYC? I need something AWESOME. There maybe a pittsburgh slim show in the works, and i know about the Steve Aoki bigbash w/ all the cooltastic kids . . . but I want something BIG. Last year Kevin Bronson took me as his date to the Paramount Lot party - where the KILLERS performed. It was AWESOME!! I want that action!! Anybody???

another dance from CUPID + PITTSBURGH SLIM!

i love choreographed dances!!! sooooomucchhhhhhhfunnnnnnnnn.
Cupid seems to think so too! :)


ANOTHER CUPID DANCE

that dance is a bit more complicated than the Cupid Shuffle - - finally something to really get down with. I'm so into the dance thing - - I can't wait until the DUKES OF DAVILLE album comes out! (they are the band I signed to my label - Hell Ya! and now they are signed to CAPITOL! yay!) JUSTYOUWAIT!!! I'm willing to place bets that it is going to BLOWTHEFUCKUP! Song of the summer - next summer - for sure. :)
If you forget the first CUPID dance - - here's an ANIME version of the CUPID SHUFFLE!

cool DANCE anime version of CUPID SHUFFLE

In the meantime, make sure to get your dance on tonight at the Echo for HELL YA! Night

I'll be spinning all of these tunes, plus a sneak peak of some brandspankinnew Dukes Of Daville demos. YAYYYY.

oh and of course I'll be playing THIS HOTTNESS:

PITTSBURGH SLIM 'GIRLS KISS GIRLS'

mmmmmmmm. pittsburgh slim.

he definatly has a way with words. or with looks. or something. all i know is - i was innocently dancing with him and his friend (who happened to be a cute girl) at his listening party. then all of a sudden - once 'GIRLS KISS GIRLS' starts playing - out of nowhere - he somehow gets me to make out with his girlfriend! WTF! I'm sooooooooo not usually into that, i mean i like boys! alot! i've never been with a girl (though a few have tried!) but when pittsburgh slim is around - - i guess anything goes! he's a hottie, with some serious special powers.

after i sober up a bit, i'm getting ready to say goodbye - so i grab my throwaway digital camera to snap a shot of me & slim. point, shoot, woah - - he throws me a kiss. HOT. damn he sure knows how to treat his friends/fans/etc... ;)
(looks like I might need a few more pictures of us later on . . . i don't think i had the flash on right . . . it looks a bit out of focus . . . oops that time i closed my eyes . . . ok one more time and that's it i swear . . . . hee hee.)

so yeah - pittsburgh slim must be a jedi or something. he's a star for sure. get ready to hear this song everywhere you go. it's infectious. he's like mickey avalon, only wayyyyyyy hotter, and with better songs. :)

*make sure to buy his new album - out on Itunes and in stores NOW.
**set your TIVO for tomorrow night - Pittsburgh Slim is on the Carson Daly show. BOOYA!
