please take a moment to Dance the F out to - Har Mar Superstar

Har Mar Superstar is out of this world & in a great way. I'd heard about him a few years ago, but after catching a crazy great live performance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon at the end of October his antics have been on my mind. So please take a moment to Rock the F out to Har Mar Superstar!

"off off, off with your head...dance dance dance til your dead..."

"Heads will roll, heads will roll, heads will roll on the floor!"

The lines mentioned in the title alone have always been my philosophy when it came to dance, I'm glad Karen, Nick & Brian could vocalize it for me. Have a great weekend everybody!

please take a moment to Rock the F out to - Ebony Bones

Many comparisons have been made to M.I.A & Santigold, but Ebony Bones is a musical amalgam all her own. Sadly the audio for the live shows isn't too great and the vocals aren't as audible as I'd like, but the band is kickin, & so darn awesome it's bareable. Plus the titles of her songs are so damn cheekishly charming & simply silly you can't help be entertained by the Ms. Bones who has described herself as "Harry Potter with a vagina," she's officially my new favorite British Badass.

Another crazy night at Dirty Hairy

Though I'll be headed to the coast first thing in the morning for a weekend of glorious music at the Coachella Music Festival Thursday morning, I'm still seriously considering checking out Holy Ghost at LIV on Wednesday night,because I can't get enough of "Hold On" & the video for "Superman" (both posted below.)

E-mail info@epoplife.com to get on the list, if you're interested.

photo envy - Ultra Music Festival Roundup

Originally this post was titled "A Whole Lotta Love" when I drafted it on Sunday. Though exhaustion finally kicked in and I wasn't able to finish it (let alone barely post anything this week) til now. So Ultra Music Festival was positively ACE! The music was fantastic, but the best part was that I got to share it with people I've known & loved over the course of the past 20 years! I love and appreciate them all & am incredibly thankful to have such an array of great friends. Especially those that took pictures and posted them on Facebook because I'm too clumsy to carry an actual camera around with me, I have "borrowed" theirs. First I want give a short shout out to those who truly made this weekend worth while.

Sarah Aasbo - thanks for coming down from NYC, I hope you had a great time
Rob Andrews - see you at Coachella for even more raging
Zach Burr - thank you for telling me you once thought I was a bitch, but now really like me it was hilarious
Kaki Campbell - you are always so calm, cool & collected and I love it
Jake Coley - you quite possibly are the human embodiment of a Brett Easton Ellis character & a beautiful enigma
Ken Dolan - can't wait to see you at Swamp Stomp
Travis Gordon - we need to rage more
Kevin Kaltenbacher - you quite possibly are probably still one of the smartest kids I'll ever know Dennis Lang - I want to know where you got that splendid hat
Rob Letscher - you quite possibly have the kindest smile on the planet
Alexi Luger - don't quit your day job you have NO future in [Arepa] theft
Kyle Michas - I have one word, about THE coolest kid I met at boarding school : logorrhea
Eric Morales - you'll forever be my neighbor
Justin Namon - your pictures are effortlessly awesomeAmanda Rouse - one beautiful lady inside and out
Whitney Roux - thanks for spotting my bangs
Wes Samuel- I really do wish I had gotten to see your "glowstick routine" Monte Shalett - I commend you for surviving a night in that wasteland with those 2 "ladies" you were with
Case Watson - you are the sunshine of my life ("in a totally platonic maudlin way")
Olivia Wolfe - to my first friend ever, all I can say is DOTBLOGSPOTDOTCOM. Oh and I'm pretty sure this song is going to be stuck in my head for the next months and I have 0 problem with it.

"I just can't get you out of my head, your loving is all I think about..."

I didn't feel the need to be to vague when quoting the lyrics of this incredibly hot song, since it's true right now. I've been crazy about it since it came out and actually love when it's stuck in my head, accompanied by the the thought of a particular gentleman, which just so happened to overwhelm me out of nowhere today.

Ring The Alarm...oh wait nevermind, no need

I came back from lunch yesterday guns, blazin, fully prepared to kick ass and take names to end the week off right. But there were no emergencies and nothing major to oversee, and no need for me to "Ring The Alarm." I've felt an overwhelming amount of anxiety this week for reasons unknown, but I'm finally breathing easier. I definitely still wanted to rock out to this song, because Beyonce kills it and looks amazing in every scene, while paying homage to a few film femme fatales.

Even more love for Lykke Li , Kanye West and Santigold

"Gifted"

The Christian Bale Freakout Dance Remix

Crazy controversy aside, he's still an incredibly talented actor and undeniably badass. Now dance to him going apeshit on a DP.

If you haven't checked out Panic Bomber...

you should come see him perform tomorrow night at The News Lounge, because it's something brilliant to behold!

Please take a moment to Rock the F out to- The Talking Heads!

Panic Bomber's blitzkrieg at The Vagabond

I have proclaimed my adoration for the madness that is Panic Bomber before, but I now have pics and the experience of a super sick live set at The Vagabond to back me up. Everyone who was there had a fantastic time and Richard put on a bangin set, he should be incredibly proud of. If you're in Miami, you can check him out again on the 21st at the Nightdrive Party, otherwise I'll try and post the video of his set as soon as it's available.

As I mentioned earlier I love Panic Bomber so check him out at The Vagabond!

Please take a moment to Rock the F out to Crystal Castles!

Crystal Castles "Crimewave"

Crystal Castles "Love and Caring"

Crystal Castles "Vanished"

"...if you catch me at the border I got visas in my name..."

Though I wasn't even a zygote during The Last Great War, I hearken the sonic bombardment of having to listen to Paper Planes over and over again in the Pineapple Express trailer, to having to listen to the luftwaffe attempt to dominate Europe. Strong words I know, but the song was just overplayed. Though "Slumdog Millionare" totally redeemed it for me and features the original and the even more stellar M.I.A. - Paper Planes (DFA Remix) .

While on the subject of Ms. Arulpragasam here are a few mnore sick tracks from "Kala."

"World Town"

"Jimmy"

"20 Dollar"

I'm in love with Panic Bomber

Panic Bomber is the new solo project from local Miami musician Richard Haig and it's fucking awesome! I went to the Sweat Records Stocking Stuffer party and ran into Pat Walsh (check out his weekly party NightDrive by the by,) who asked me if I'd heard Richard's album yet, which I had not. Coincidentally I had run into Rich during Art Basel at the ANR, The Jean Marie and Rachel Goodrich show, and he told me he was working on something new and going by the name of "Panic Bomber," which immediately intrigued me, since Richard is a rather intriguing person, & what better to get the people riled up than the mention of something terrorism related.

So when Pat played the "Calling in Threats Demo" for me, I was shocked, entertained and instantly obsessed. As Panic Bomber Richard's found a way to combine a myriad of electronic formats together to create, fun, dark and mildly hilarious yet incredibly good dance music. Off the Radar Music posted a little feature about him, which is rad because he deserves as many shout outs as possible. You can download the whole album "Calling In Threats" for free on his website or listen to 3 of the tracks on myspace, which happens to include the song I simply can't get enough of "Until Our Legs Break," (while "Smooth Sailor" is really growing on me as well.)

You can see Richard as Panic Bomber in seizure inducing action live at The Vagabond (30 NE 14th Street) Friday, January 9th,2009 at 11 pm (& hopefully he'll play Nightdrive on the 1/21/09 too.) So check him out he's going to blow up, figuratively and maybe just literally.
