New Daft Punk Live video -

Clip-Daft Punk-harder better faster stronger-live

So, there are a couple things I know to be true. 1) Leather clad disco robots are fucking cool. 2) The moment Daft Punk release a female pleasure bot, I will buy it. 3)Daft Punk will always remain in my top 5 myspace friends. 4)If Daft Punk were selling lasek, I would have it done just to say I did, despite the fact that my eyesight is fine. 5) Chicks cream over Daft Punk's music. 6) No matter how hard they may seem to sell out (i.e. Gap, Kanye...) cool kids, hipsters, and electrophiles still love them. There is no hatin on the DP.

So, the above is, I'm assuming, the new Daft Punk alive video clip. I posted the submission rules a couple months back.. All of the shots were sent in by people in the audience at their Lollapalooza performance in NY. Awesome. - gfy

We like the Jukey! Krames!

We love Juke. Clique Lounge in Cincinnati always has the super number one awesome dance parties. But once a month, Those Damn Kids take it up a notch by bringing in the hot shots. This month, the excellent Cobra Krames of Cobra Kai. So, how many of you can say you saw Krames during a tornado? I know 99 other people that can. So while the rain, thunder, and ninja tornado raged outside, hot and sweaty boogie action was kickin it inside. Wicked support from Chinn and Empirical (who also takes all these photos), a little of Identity... and yours truly was able contribute. What a great night. I'll have more on Krames as soon as I finish the video... as I had the pleasure of traveling and playing with him friday as well, in Columbus. we'll see about some getting some new jawns from the leg sweeper for that. So watch this space, cause we're about sell you a kilo of fun.

By the way, if you happen to have any event photos be sure to send em my way..





a quick note from dj empirical: you can view all his pics from the night in a slideshow here.

The Teenagers graduate.

So, Kitsune' is dropping The Teenagers Homecoming EP on October 15th. If you haven't heard the original yet, which is out on the amazing Merok label, you're in for a treat. Remixes by Passions, Gentlemen Drivers and Guns N' Bombs. The Guns N' Bombs version has been in circulation for a bit, and it is definitely a killer (see the Kitsune' Maison 4 compilation, to see what I mean). The Teenagers are the multi-talented trio, now officially in London via Paris, (Michael, Dorian, and Quentin) are apparently hard at work on their first full length. In the mean time, their next single Starlett Johansson is due out the 12th of November on MEROK.
And, according to their bloggings, they will also be releasing an EP's on another awesome label Summer Lovers Unlimited out of Canada (known for some hot talent like Crystal Castles, Dandi Wind, Paul Devro, and Apache Beat) as well as RALLY KLEE in Japan.

Also! If you're overseas...well, you're in luck. The Teenagers embark on a tour with Crystal Castles and These New Puritans for Vice. Check their site for this one at www.unitaur.com

Why Justice is awesome.

I love it. On Jimmy Kimmel 10-9-07.

Lets Makeout... some more.

So, it's time again for another LBE event adventure. This one, however, is a little more personal. This week has been a busy one. My Son, Xavier Deuteronomy ( we call him "the Dude") turned 3 yesterday. My Mother in-law turned I don't know how old on Sunday. My Grandmother's birthday is this week. And my sister's birthday is tomorrow, which happens to coincide with another special day. Cheesed out yet?

Even Better. Tomorrow is my 10 year wedding anniversary. Yep 10 years. We got married young, but it's worked. Hint: if you think marriage is easy, then everyone would be married. Knowing this, I can't say it's been all gravy. We've seen our share of shitty times. But the good definitely outweighs it all. And admit-tingly, it hasn't been easy, being betrothed to someone and being in this industry (back hussies, back!). And, usually, in our relationship, I am the sitcom husband whose always fucking up. But my wife is patient, and, cool as hell. If you've ever met the elusive Erika, then you would know. And after 10 years and 2 kids, she's still a hottie..or as I like to say, a MILF.

So, if you're reading this, please, please join us on Friday the 12th at Clique Lounge to celebrate. Zach Kacynski, the Clique boss, is throwing a party for us, appropriately titled, 10 year Makeout. Anyone can come, it's free, and bound to be a dance patry hoot.. complete with baby-making music, kissing booth, and of course excellent talent. The kissing booth is a kisser nominating a kiss-e, so bring someone to make out with. Come dressed sexy and ready to dance. Sha-zam! See you there - LBE
