adam tensta


perez posted about this artist on his blog last week (or earlier this week, I'm not sure). A rapper out of sweden, so you know he has a bit of an electro influence. I really like his producers. "My cool" and "80's Baby" both grabbed my attention when I picked up his album.

here are the two tracks. kanye west, where you at mang?

adam tensta - my cool

adam tensta - 80s baby


here's a real club


to everyone that goes out in DC, i look down on you..hA!

coachella

who the fuck wants to go to indio


let's roll!!!

www.coachella.com

hayden comes to georgetown

save the whales, bitches! she was great. a small girl with a great voice. articulate, eloquent, hot, and funny. i want to be famous. just sign me up and tell me where to stand. I emailed Perez to post it on his blog. He did, but he didn't mention georgetown. whatever, i commented on his post. You can see me as #5.

tonight was another night of more applications. i submitted the wrong resume to UBS. luckily it was a UBS resume, but nevertheless a previous version. I sent apps to UBS, Barclays, and some other firm I can't remember. that shit is really mechanical now. I think of them as numbers rather than by name. Bank #4 or 5.

you know i wouldn't have to do any of this if I acted. maybe i could do that? my clocks early cause i know i'm always late

took an html class today


and it was sick. I learned the basics of HTML and CSS. HTML supplies the content, CSS provides the style. I'm really looking forward to learning this new language, because I'm a language type of guy. that's just how i am. check out the pic i took while in Gerlardin


I applied to a few banks this past weekend. Will I hear back from them? maybe...I got to thinking that I'm not really that interested in investment banking. I really just want to get a taste for what it's like. I might enjoy working at an I bank, I might not. To tell you the truth it doesn't really interest me. YOu're not going to see me reading the Journal religiously or anything like that. Sure i'll skim through the Economist once and a while. but honestly, it just doesn't float my boat. Like one of my friends said, "Erik, I think you're too 'artsy' for that type of stuff." WHo knows, maybe i'll just become an actor.



Aoki's mix album came out this week (I think). check it out a bit. sounds alright since he got a bunch of artists to collaborate with.


rip mr ledger.

riot!

the grammys are coming up and guess who's nominated...paramore! our favorite band from Tennessee was nominated for best new artist this year, following the release of their stellar album "Riot!." It really doesn't hurt that the front woman of this band is hot. I would buy tickets to their show even if their music sucked. Luckily, it doesn't. Surely you've heard "misery business" on the radio before, right? Well, in case you're tired of it here's another track of their sophomore album. rock out with your cock out. hayley williams is fine.

paramore - misery business

paramore - that's what you get

the rocket summer, sooner

before i go to sleep, i'll leave you with a little something. i recently discovered "The Rocket Summer." It's a guy making pop-rock music that sounds very similar to Something Corporate/Jack's Mannequin. This kid does it all. I really have nothing more to say about the guy other than he's an all-in-wonder who can play every instrument on his album. Catch him on tour. check out his space...

and then check out this track

classes that i like

i decided today that I'm going to start taking classes that are useful and that interest me. this means that I wont be double majoring in OPIM. I don't think quizzes everyday or simply talking about a subject rather than doing it is at all practical. I'm going to start doing things the way I want to do them. professors have always told me in the past that if you don't want something put on the internet, well, then don't put it up. I hope this doesn't get out...not. music tomorrow.

and did anyone see the new MacBook Air? kinda cool...

it's britney bitch

she can still make hits. i would like to say first that I do not listen to britney spears. you will not catch her on my ipod or winamp. i do not listen to britney spears...anymore at least. Here's the Tiesto remix of "piece of me" as well as the original. While i'm at it, here's some Mika too. My brother djed one of his parties when he played in Hollywood at Avalon. Perez Hilton showed up with pink hair. How cute! I bet he and Mika rubbed each other out in the bathroom.

I sample, you sample, he samples

I always give too much credit to producers. Sometimes I'm just disappointed when I find out that a producer sampled a previous artist. But hey, isn't creating new from the old an art in itself? Eventually there will be nothing left to sample, and all the samplers will be sad from sampling samples too much. The sampler was invented in the 80's. It's been downhill from there. Or not, depends how you look at it.

Give these videos a look. They're from the homie NateTheGreat up in the Bay Area (except the Justice video. that was made by a different dude). A little something in Musicology.

Kanye West - "Graduation Samples"


"Daft Punk Samples"


Where'd all those awesome Justice samples come from?


remember, American artists will always be #1, sucker. France's finest my ass!

the O Sea

I went to 5 classes today and I'm not even registered for them. That's 6+ hours of class. Such is Add/Drop week. It's a buffet of knowledge. I have an appointment tomorrow to talk about my future with the people in the career center. They will hopefully give me some actual advice or guidance, unlike to people in MSB deans office.... Can you convince me to stay an extra semester next year? Let's see

This dj is in the OC tonight at Fury Lounge. My friend offered to fly me in on his G5 and stay at his small 18,000 sq ft house in Newport. I of course turned it down. Silly him, I don't stay at small houses.

I'm sick


I can't hear out of my right ear. The doctor said I have an ear infection. He gave me drugs to take. It's called Amoxicillin (I think).

I still haven't slept. This is almost 24hrs and I'm going strong. Think about it. I go to bed at about 5am on the west coast. I come to school and I can't sleep here till 8am. But by then I have to get up.
I'm still trying to figure out what classes I'm going to take. Hell if the MSB is ever going to help me.

Don't You Know Who (I Think) I Am?

AM had skills before he and Nicole started dating. Stay hungry, quitters never win.

taken from:
PerezHilton.com

"I'm not perfect; I drift all the time. If I go to a restaurant and hear there's a 45 minute wait, my ego wants to say the worst sentance ever: "Do you know who I am?" Which of course, really means, "Do you know who I THINK I am?" That's when I have to remind myself of just WHO that is: a fat crackhead who's lucky to be alive. And believe it or not, at that moment, I feel like the luckiest guy on earth."

what happened to your queer party friends

throwing up on my brand new mink coat...and i do coke!


I heard that the filth shut down the mickey avalon/dirt nasty performance at les deux on NYE. Goes to show that les deux...doesn't. If you do a search on youtube (or go to Perez Hilton's blog) for Shia Lebeouf, you'll seem him darting out of les deux as soon as the 5-0 roll up. The Transformers actor puts on his wheels and makes a run for it. He's the fastest kid alive. But anywho, guess what song you hear in the background while LeBeouf is getting railed by photographers? 1980!

Dirt Nasty - 1980
