Recently I had the privilege of working with some wonderful individuals in Austin on a feature dedicated to 4 female Austin bloggers (me being one of them!): Miss Esti Choi, who runs Buy Definition (a high-end clothing boutique) and coordinated the blogger feature; Andrew Chan, a super talented fashion/commercial/wedding photographer shot us at The Cathedral of [...]

These pictures of our very own Dagnushka deserve to be posted on their own. She leaves me speechless.

Upon my recent return to Austin from Dallas- where I mingled with my fellow helloooooo-ers- I picked up 6 rolls of 120 slide film that I shot with my Holga and had cross processed. Now for those of you unfamiliar with this term, all it consists of is taking exposed slide film and developing it [...]
Amazing Show. She totally rocks. SOLID GOLD
check out more of her amazingness here –> GOLDENFILTER
HOYOTOHO killed it as usual at the Cavern last Wednesday night. We are looking forward to their show this Friday at Ghostbar!
VEGA was undoubtedly a super fun fantastic show at the Cavern as well. Cant wait to see these boys TONIGHT in Austin with the Golden Filter at Beauty Bar. If you are in the [...]
‘Nuff said, Dallas.
I have been waiting to download this track since I saw Aoki and Barnes DJ at SXSW at the 508 house. I re-posted the original video from the DIM MAK party below. This song will definitely get you in the mood to go out and get your funk on if your feeling so-so. Trust Shok on this it [...]
It’s official, like a gangsta with a pistol. The smoking ban instituted last Friday in Dallas bars and pool halls is in full effect.
Resident Chris Alexander, a cigarette smoker, said he would honor the citywide ban by smoking on outdoor decks and patios as allowed under the new regulations. “I’ll keep going to bars in [...]
Still going Strong for 18 years, BOYZ II MEN recently performed here in Austin for the Urban Music Festival during the Texas Relay madness. Although the bass vocalist Michael McCary left the group in 2003 due to chronic back problems, the “boyz” still rocked it. There they were in front of me performing their most famous [...]

Guttersnype is our newest blogger. He recently left Austin, TX and somehow found himself in NYC. You can expect the latest on the NY scene from my man Tommy via his unreal photography skills. Below is a sick shoot he worked on in Austin with our very own Dagnushka. Welcome!
Our crew touched down a night earlier than originally planned to see DJ Marshall Barnes, our boy from LA, throw down with fellow Deckstar’r Steve Aoki at the Metallica Afterparty. Fresh off only a couple hours sleep from spinning at Foxtail the night before, Barnes killed it at the 508 House with Aoki. The small, [...]
I apologize for the delay in getting this up but I have been a tad bit busy lately preparing for the Mstrkrft show in Dallas tonight as well as SXSW in Austin this weekend. The Hoyotoho show on Monday, as you might have already heard, was off the hook. Dagnushka best described the event on her Facebook [...]

::Polaroid I snapped on the East side of Austin today::
The 9 day festival is upon us ladies and gentles. Only 1 week away, the cluster bomb of musical performances, conferences, film screenings and ridiculous after-parties (one being at my house!) is a recipe for pure visual and auditory titillation. It officially starts March 13th with INTERACTIVE and continues into [...]
With nearly a quarter of the year over and spring just a few weeks away we can all agree it has been an interesting start to the year. And with the economy nearly kaputz and people being laid off left and right we have seen more and more people getting desperate for ”Mo Money”. Just the other day after a father from Austin, Texas was [...]
I personally am not a horror film kind of guy but Jason and ‘Friday the 13th’ return today for yet another film jam packed with gore and guts (the 13th installment in the series to be precise). I think I might put on my hockey mask today and parade around LA scaring homeless people and older folks in the park.

Mstrkrft announced today they will be playing at a series of upcoming show (three of which Gilberto and I plan on attending — Dallas 3/20, SXSW 3/21 and Coachella 4/18). I have to admit I was disappointed when I read they agreed to do a performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live. I am not sure how Jesse (below, left) is going to handle a show without chain smoking and drinking his beloved Crown. (Tour dates after the jump)
I have to say I might be one of the luckiest bastards alive. If I lose it…somehow it generally finds itself coming right back to me. It all started out when I lost my digital camera after an amazing trip to Austin for SXSW. Pictures of me making out with a beautiful girl (who later turned [...]
