Há poucos dias, eu me apaixonei. Foi à noite, no aquário da Academia de Ciências de São Francisco. Eu tive um momento de absoluta sedução, e quem me seduziu foi um peixe, o robalo gigante de lá. Ele deu uma aula de slow seduction, prova de que até os peixes entendem da coisa. Foi sem pressa.

A primeira cruzada de olhares foi minha iniciativa. Ele nadava tranquilo e lento, porque esse é um peixe lento, sem pressa. Passava de lado pelo vidro do aquário e eu acompanhei o olho dele. Foi quando ele parou seu nado lateral e, bem lentamente, virou o corpo grande para me encarar.

Eu fiquei contente e não conseguia desgrudar os olhos dele. Ele me fitou tempo suficiente para as pessoas em volta começarem a rir descontroladamente e a apontar para a gente, mas não tínhamos olhos para mais ninguém. Ficou lá me olhando o bastante para um amigo tirar a primeira foto com o telefone. Então virou o corpo e foi dar outra volta no aquário.

Depois de completar um círculo, ele voltou. Dessa vez chegou mais perto, ficou mais tempo, e saiu de novo. Exibiu o corpo grande, o nado suave, sem esforço, e de novo veio em minha direção. A essa altura os dois já perdidos nos olhos um do outro, e os guardas se reunindo em volta do aquário, sem entender o que estava acontecendo, mas sem atrapalhar, porque nunca viram aquilo antes. O nome é slow seduction. E como ninguém tinha pressa, ele foi dar mais uma volta.

Eu fiquei parada. Sabia que ele voltaria. E voltou, mais algumas vezes. Até que os guardas não tiveram remédio a não ser me pedir par ir embora, porque o aquário já tinha fechado há algum tempo. Fui embora com cosquinhas na barriga.

Amigos sugeriram que o robalo gigante pensou que eu era uma lagosta. Eu não vou pensar nisso. O fato é que sobram exemplos na natureza de slow seduction. É uma curtição imensa e cada bicho faz de um jeito.

Estes dias topei com um exemplo no youtube, apresentado por minha amiga Jane. Acho que o slow seduction tem várias vertentes musicais, dá para não parar mais de citá-las, então achei por bem começar com uma memorável, do Snoop Dogg. Chama-se Sensual Seduction. E só o fato de ter que diferenciar uma sedução por ser sensual mostra que a gente nem sempre se lembra disso, do mais básico da sedução. Porque os sentidos precisam de uns minutinhos para registrar as coisas, e muitos minutinhos para crescer em apreciação. Então na sedução fast food, os sentidos não têm tempo de registrar nem de apreciar, e o prazer diminui. Como mostrou meu robalo gigante, slow seduction pode ser puro instinto animal.

Com vocês, o cara, Snoop Dogg, fazendo um ode à sedução sensual, um mote mais que presente no movimento slow seduction.

Day 3 (Saturday) started out pretty early. I was first one out the door. Everyone was kinda wanted to do their own thing for a minute and I was no exception. I was going to catch lunch with my buddy Ben in Lincoln Park at this place called Duffy’s. It’s a Michigan bar, which would explain the super lame maize and blue color scheme!

Duffy's in Lincoln Park

After lunch with Ben and his friend Nick- which included checkin out crazy homeless dudes across the street, making friends with our waitress who wouldn’t get on camera because she was SAG (but we still made a date to be there for brunch on Sunday), and an awesome burger + beers- Nick and I cabbed it to Lolla to catch some more shows. I didn’t really have a whole lot in the morning I wanted to see, so I didn’t feel bad abt drinkin most of the afternoon away with those guys, lol. I wanted to check out Mike Snow, but blew that one. Same with Atmosphere. Funny story about why I wanted to see Atmosphere. 1st because my old roommate Jesse talked abt the guy nonstop for 2 years, so I wanted to see what the fuss was abt. 2nd because I had met this girl in Columbus a cpl weeks prior who got super excited when I said I’d be in the Chi for Lolla (so would she). So we exchange numbers and literally the next day she deleted me. I txt her friend as to why she did and she said, “she didn’t think she would hear from you, so she deleted you.” um… ok. So I txted her like wtf?! I told you we’d link up in Chicago. No response….super weird. But she also gushed abt Atmosphere so I was hoping I’d catch her eye and go feign to take her backstage to spite her. No dice

My friend Molly txted me to meet her at the Chairlift performance. Right when I came in they were doing Snoop Dogg’s, ‘Sensual Seduction.’ I personally love that song, so I was into it, but the sound was horrible! That sound guy was havin a super off day.

There were some mad hippies dancing in front of us the whole time too, so that was pretty cool to see. Like LA hippies, not fake ass Midwest ones.

Back to the dj stage it was for me and I caught the last little bit of Perry Farrell performing with Porno for Pyros. They were his special guest. Along with Perry’s wife. She’s not bad lookin at all. She also had some super hot friends of hers onstage. She wore this super short mini and kept kicking her legs in the air! Caught panties like 15 times in 10 minutes!

Their kids were sitting on stage as well. All 3 of them had their protective headphones on and flip camera’s out, catching mommy and daddy’s performance.

Perry Farrell's kids (w/grandma)

It never ceases to amaze me how people can idolize someone and place them on this revered pedestal, but to their kids, they are just mom and dad. Funny how that works. Perry finished off his set with a new track that he worked on with Kaskade called, ‘Machine Girl.’ I don’t think it’s out yet. Danny Masterson was in the back, so I rapped with him and his boy for a little bit. Supposedly he’s comin to Cleveland in a cpl weeks (dj Mom Jeans in the house!). Jesse is in love with him btw. Wanted to push our departure to Chicago back a day because he thought he was gonna meet him, lol. He wound up meeting him on Friday night anyways. He prob drew wood, lol. Talked to Kaskade after the show, he said he hasn’t been here in a while, but he really likes Cleveland. Way to go my man!

There wasn’t really a whole lot of action after that. I watched a little bit of Hercules and Love Affair, but the set was a little too slow for me. I was in the mood for some bangers. LA Riots was on afterwards anyways. I walked around a little bit and caught the tail end of Santigold. That show was freakin packed! I don’t know how I found my friends in that crazy ass crowd. She even brought the GZA onstage with her, much props. I dipped out of there when the show was over and headed to LA Riots. Set was good but man, that dude is a piece of work. I walked over to him and introduced myself (we met earlier in Cleveland). He proceeded to talk abt how ppl at Ultra fucked up the monitors and he wasn’t treated right by the owner/manager, there was a descrepancy with the money, the list goes on and on. Needless to say, he wasn’t happy. He vowed Ultra would never get another AM Only dj and he was gonna come back to Cleveland somewhere and do a free show (I hope he follows through on that party). I would be seeing this guy around everywhere I went. And everywhere we were, he had smokin hot girls with him. I gotta move to LA and be a dj, hot damn!

Backstage waiting for Diplo to come on I noticed a rather peculiar thing…. The dude was wearin a damn 3 piece suit! Blue pinstriped suit and vest, with a white shirt and some brown boat shoes, no socks. Pimpin! It was so fucking hot too, I can’t believe he didn’t pass out wearin that. I almost did and I was rockin a t-shirt and shorts. He played during TV on the Radio AND Ben Harper, but oh well… And he trainwrecked a cpl times, oh well… and he played a lot of other people’s tracks, oh well…. I was waiting for major lazer stuff, grimy diplo stuff, and any other kind of DIPLO stuff, oh well…. Maybe next time.

So lookie loo… I got a text from Katie (girl from columbus, not the deleting girl), and I was super pumped. I had barely seen her since we had been there and I was not happy about that. I figure meeting someone is cool, finding out that you’ll both be going to the same event is even cooler. Meeting up out of town away from your friends and outside influences should be a perfect time to really develop a repor, which is great, but none of that really happened . It was like she left her phone at the hotel (she must not really be a txting kind of girl. Old school, I like that, lol). So I meet up with Katie backstage at Yeah Yeah Yeahs. There’s this little artists village, complete with food and free booze. Katie goes to get us drinks while I wait in line to get in the opera box to watch YYY’s. The crowd was freakin sick!!! There’s obviously no way we were gettin in there, the line was super packed, and there was only 50 ppl allowed in at a time, so whatever. As I’m waiting…. bam! Joy Bryant comes out of nowhere. Somebody w/ her was trying to talk the crew into letting her up there, but no dice. I introduced myself and asked when her next project was. We had a very short back and forth. Then I think I fainted (I really didn’t faint, but I wish I would have, lol).

When I came to, Ben Harper was standing in front of me! Now, all the time I get “Anybody ever tell you that you look like Ben Harper?” I hate when ppl come up to me and say stuff like that. 9 times out of 10, the person is the exact opposite of you, but they wore the same shirt or something, people are stupid like that. But I swear, I’ll never think bad of anyone who says that to me again cause I freakin do! I said hello and he must have realized it too because he gave me a funny look like, “damn, this dude looks like me!” We had a brief convo and he said he loved playing at the Cleveland House of Blues (shouts to Carrie, Elise, and Rickey!). I’m meeting people that are showing Cleveland love all OVER the place!

Katie comes back, we watch a brief bit of the show, then we must part. I have to get to my friends before we are lost in the crowd and we never make it home! I head over to catch the end of Bassnectar with my peeps. Watched that for a while, then thought we should head out a little early to beat the crowd. We spend an hour the night before looking for a taxi, lol. We passed by the Clarence Buckingham Memorial Fountain on our way out (not right time of day, but I wanted to show you the dope-ness)

I guess somebody jumped in there at some point in the weekend. It’s really big when you see a person in it. Check it out here. I’m sure that guy spent the night in jail… bummer. We rolled out of the festival and made our way to the train station. I was going to take the subway in Chicago for the first time! I was pretty stoked. btw, the fare there is $2.50, so don’t complain Cleveland! We were on our way there, but Jimmy John’s was callin our name. So quick pit stop there, super packed train ride later (I felt like I was in Tokyo, getting crammed in by a wrangler), waste of time stop at the grocery store for headache medicine we already had, shower, and I was ready to hit the streets. Big night ahead of me…. I was gonna go to some hot parties, kick it with Lindsay Lohan (explained below), see Katie, and all of my dreams were gonna come true, right? Wrong.

Earlier that day I met this girl Evan. She’s a freelance photog from Miami. She said Samantha Ronson was spinning at hotspot Angels & Kings, Lohan was comin thru, and she was at that table. So I peaced out to my dudes and rolled over to A&K. Shit was packed!!!!! I hit Evan up and ask her to come get me. I approach the bouncer and tell him that my friend is on the list and has a table. If she came out to get me, would that be ok? He says, “yeah, get in line.” I’m thinking how is she gonna see me if i’m standing all the way in the back of this long ass line? So obviously I don’t. She comes out, I see her, she points to me, and then the bouncer shoves her back inside. I say “hey sir, that was the friend I was talking about. She has a table and knows the dj” His reply? “I don’t care, we are at capacity, get in line.” ANOTHER photog I met comes out to holler, asks the bouncer if I can roll in with him (he’s with Evan), and he flat out says no. Photog is like sorry dude, i’m in. Have a good one, lol! Guess I can’t blame him. Welcome to Chicago sucka! Guess my hot streak couldn’t last forever…

Not for the faint of heart!

I pick myself up, get that dirt off my shoulders and hop in a taxi. “Hard Rock Hotel please,” I say to the cabbie. We’re ripping through downtown at breakneck speed cause Santigold, Passion Pit, and GZA are performing live. Plus there’s an open bar. Plus I know ppl there. So i’m thinking to myself…. JP gave me this pass, so I know I’m allowed to get in, but i heard there’s a line, so maybe my artist credentials will work right? Dumbass…. maybe it was because I didn’t want to abuse my priviliges and soil my name, or maybe because I was scared I’d get checked, but I didn’t get in right away. I asked the bouncer at the door and showed him my artist creds, he’s like “ok… now get in line.” I see some guy who obviously is working the party, but I can’t get close enough to get his attention. I don’t want that bouncer bouncin my ass to the street. The guy comes back and lets a cpl people in. Then he yells, ‘we’re at capacity, these ppl have been waiting for an hour and they aren’t coming in. no one is coming in.” Fuck that I say, I’m not getting denied twice. So some lady walks out and she has a staff badge on. I’m like can i get in, i’m with the band. She sees my creds and tells me she’s going to inform someone that talent is outside and needs to get in. Good thing I didn’t hold my breath! So the guy comes out again and I get his attention and say hey, i’m not tryin to be pushy, but I’m here with the band and they are already here and I just wanna get in. The golden doors open and i’m on the scene! Worked like a charm!

So I make it in there and can’t find any of my new peeps. I’m walkin around and catch the last bit of Passion Pit perform.

I came too late for Santi and GZA. I start pounding doubles (hey they’re free!), and continue the search. There’s another side to the party and I try to walk in there, but they say it’s VIP only and that’s the exit. If I want to get in, I have to go to this other door. I walk up and flash my artist creds…. Good to go. I’ve gained access to the next level, lol. Once I get in there, I see all the ppl i’ve been hanging with… Vyle, Victor, JP, Nelson, and lo and behold…. Daniel from fuckin LA Riots. He’s rockin a trio of ladies, and he’s talkin to another one. Nelson hands me a corndog and i head straight to the bar. While I’m waiting, I strike up a convo with one of Daniel’s ladies. He’s close, but he’s tied up talking to someone else. She seemed super nice, then Daniel swoops in, grabs the girl by the arm, and dips. Uh oh, I think she’s in trouble with daddy I say to the guy next to me, lol. I ran into the Cool Kids, their dj MVPJ, and rich their manager. Funny cause I hit up PJ wayyyy earlier to say i was comin to the Chi and he said they would be in Japan. And I had talked to Rich on the phone, so it was funny running into all of them at this party. Cashed some more drinks and started contemplating what the hell Katie was doing. She hadn’t hit me up and I was drunk and getting perturbed. I was so set on kickin it with her. Party’s over.

I go outside to try and link up with Katie, and I run into my 2nd favorite Austin duo, Elizabeth and Molly. We’re watching this drunk dude lookin crazy. Check this out….

Now it’s time for handshakes…. then Rick Astley shows up, lol

Then they try to pull his pants down…. bad move

I’m tryin to talk to Katie’s girls and see what’s goin on, but i’m having a hard time understanding what’s being said and i finally just ask where they are staying, I’ll come in a taxi. There was talk of going to some spot open until 6am. After like 15 minutes of trying to call her back and figure shit out, I dip out and go back to old town to meet up with my peeps, grab a slice (and by slice I mean Chicago’s deep dish, not shitty cardboard Panini’s pizza), and head back home. Here’s the spot.

And here’s some nice ladies I met, lol

Cashed out…. time for bed. Big day tomorrow. It’s the last day of lollapalooza….. out!

It seems Roald Dahl was such a ladies man that he was used as a British spy to gather info in social situations and pass it on.  And he was also known as “one of the biggest cocksmen in America.”

I read both of his autobiographies and while there was extensive discussion of chocolate and Norwegian goat poop, there was no mention of his special assignments.

[Clare] Boothe Luce proved so frisky, Dahl later claimed to have begged his superiors to take him off the assignment, only to be told to get back into the bedroom.

Ce clip est un extra terrestre , sorti tout droit de la période psychédélique de snoop, et qui a le mérite d’avoir des effets kaléidoscopique , remarquez la coupe de cheveux de snoop dog, c’est a se tordre de rire !

Today’s featured funny comes from youtuber Dyme-A-Duzin,

I stumbled across this video months ago when Snoop Dogg’s Sexual Eruption was BIG, and this shit cracked me the hell up…check it out

When a friend forwarded me this video, I really couldn’t believe it. I was thinking it was something from Snoop Dogg’s past that we could all giggle at after a long day of grading papers and reading. Surprise. It is a new music video. Snoop, you keep giving me more reasons to love you.

Sensual Seduction

aujourd hui, je vous offre le pack “matinée au lit à mater des clips parce que temps de merde!“

She describes her music as ghetto-gangsta rap. Don’t be fooled though, this is almost as painfully twee as you could imagine – if you enjoyed the Watercolor Paintings tracks blogged earlier, then this is for you – another dose of ukulele based indiepop from California. And more covers too, this time including Hello Saferide and Snoop Dogg. Her 2008 LP, “Answer Me!” also features what is probably my favourite song about urinary tract infections*. EVER.

Jellybean! – I Hate Vegetables

now. it’s your turn.

Pra quem acha que os nerds não têm moral na quebrada, os geeks hypados do Hot Chip já tinham mandado o recado gravando Sexual Healing do Marvin Gaye como lado B do single Over and Over, láááá em 2006.

Agora provando que não têm nada pra provar — mas também alimentando o estereótipo que diz que nerd só pensa “naquilo” — a banda tocou na rádio inglesa XFM uma versão para Sensual Seduction do Snoop Dogg. A música por sua vez já é versão da versão, já que a original censurada do Snoop se chama na verdade Sexual Eruption, e o músico está em turnê na América do Norte com o 311, o que faz chiveta visualizar um fã transgênico que gosta de bling e assiste filmes do Adam Sandler no Havaí ao mesmo tempo.

Segundo a banda, em entrevista para a mesma rádio (teste seu inglês britânico ouvindo a resposta aqui), a música ainda tem chance de ser lançada, provavelmente como lado B de single. Deve rolar uma atração forte pelo rapper escovado, já que em entrevista à Blender, Alexis Taylor diz que sonhou com Snoop Dogg sussurando “bendable posable” em seu ouvido, e quando acordou tentou soar ao máximo como o rapper na canção de mesmo nome. Em janeiro, a banda disse pra NME que gostaria que a boyband Westlife fizesse um cover de Bendable Posable. Imagina como foi esse sonho…

Ah, chiveta achou que a página que carrega mais rápido pra ouvir o cover do Hot Chip é essa aqui (clicando no play ao lado do título).

N.W.A.: a sigla é a mesma, já o significado: Nerds With Attitude

Pirate Nero: ele não é um mimo?

chiveta está aceitando doações para adquirir um. ou dois. ou três…

I was actually wondering when Snoop was going to release a new single. . . and here it is – Life of The Party.
