IN CELEBRATION OF THE BRAND NEW TIM & ERIC’S BILLION DOLLAR MOVIE RELEASE, I FIGURED I WOULD SHARE WITH YOU THE MUSIC VIDEO I MADE WITH TIM AND ERIC’S EDITOR FOR BOTH TV AND FILM, DJ DOUGGPOUND. DOUG ALSO EDITS FOR THE TV SHOW PORTLANDIA AND I THINK HIS STYLE IS CRUCIAL TO THE AESTHETIC OF BOTH PROJECTS. THE VIDEO WE MADE TOGETHER A FEW YEARS AGO I THINK QUALIFIES AS A “FUN ROMP” THRU FUCKED UP/INSPIRING CALI CULTURE. ENJOY!

WATCH THE VIDEO ABOVE.

MY FRIEND AND RECENT AUSTRALIAN TOUR MATE BIG FREEDIA MADE HER TV DEBUT LAST NIGHT ON JIMMY KIMMEL! THIS IS BIG FOR SO MANY REASONS THAT I PROBABLY DON’T EVEN NEED TO EVEN TELL YOU. YOU KNOW, I KNOW. LET’S JUST CELEBRATE. IF YOU ARE IN LA, FREEDIA PERFORMS TONIGHT AT THE BOOTLEG THEATER. WATCH HER PERFOMANCE ABOVE. BIG FREEDIA ONLINE.

ONE OF MY FAVORITE NEW ACTS IS PORTLAND’S PURPLE & GREEN. MADE UP OF MALE DIVA VOCAL SENSATION J GREEN AND LEGENDARY NORTHWEST HEAD ADAM FORKNER AKA WHITE RAINBOW, PURPLE & GREEN MAKE NEXT LEVEL R&B THAT HAS BEEN DESCRIBED AS “TERRY RILEY VERSUS TEDDY RILEY”. ON THE PRODUCTION TIP, SHADES OF FORKNER’S NOISE DUDE PAST MESH WITH A FRESH TAKE ON NEW JACK SWING, HOUSE AND MODERN R&B. ON THE VOCAL TIP, J GREEN IS A SHOWMAN AND A TRUE TALENT. CHECK OUT A VIDEO OF PURPLE & GREEN JAMMING OUT AT WHAT THE HECK FEST BELOW FOR PROOF! CAN’T WAIT TO HEAR MORE.

IF YOU ARE IN NEW YORK CITY BETWEEN FEBRUARY 25TH-MARCH 20TH GO TO THIS SHOW! MANY OF MY FAVORITE ARTISTS ARE IN THIS, JUST JAMMING AND GETTING LOOSE. SOUNDS LIKE FUN.

MORE INFO:
Dadarhea would like to cordially invite you to wigout to their NY debut. What began as a summer workshop for video ideas to manifest has now become an unruly feature length hydrabeast formed of individuals collaborating in abandon. All participants have been swirling around and bumping into each other for at least 10years and the collective sensibilities are broad yet unified in a pact to explore, laugh, splat, maximize, question, flap, drop, trough, dangle and generally go too far in the name of curiosity without actually killing a cat.

You the viewer are the beneficiary of all this and more. The gallery will also feature paintings and other works by many of the artists involved.

Dadarheans include: Devin Flynn, Jim Drain, Melissa Brown, Brian Belott, Fran Spiegel, Takeshi Murata,
Joe Grillo, Marie Lorenz, Laura Grant, Naomi Fisher, Ara Peterson, Michael Williams, Jessie Gold, Billy Grant, Alison Kuo, Rich Porter et al The opening night will include a live performance by Robert Beatty to accompany an extended Video Remix of Dadarhea.
