Electric Cigarette's??!!


Ok so I am at DIRT NASTY's hanging out recording and he shows me these. They are crazy vaporizer cigarett's that are healthy and all that.  I tried it. Stronger than puffin' an American Spirit Yellow.  None of the bad things except nicotine I think. Smoke came out my mouth but NO SMELL AT ALL. DIRT said his homie was smoking on a plane w/ one of these things on tha D Low..wild. I'm getting ready for AUSTRALIA feelin good...I'm out

More PETE...



After the somewhat somber interview below I though I'd give some balance. Pete's 1st EVER solo album is coming out in March and it's rumored to be great. Here's a vid of him doing a cover shoot for NME 's VDAY French edition mag..he talks a little about the new album..you can hear one of the new songs in the back.

PETE DOHERTY on Irish talk show.



Pete's newest interview on a late night IRISH version of Carson Daly meets Bill O'reily. The host is a jackass and doesn't know anything about Pete's music. The interview gets deep however regarding addiction and family. Dr. Drew style.
AMERICA LOVES YA PETE

Its OFFICIAL BLINK-182 is BACK

Its official. BLINK-182 is back together. I was never that big of a fan (but always thought they were good) I'm more of a METAL guy. But I've gotten to know TRAVI$ since they broke up and I have a lotta love and respect for that dude. I'm sure he's happy. R.I.P. LIL CHRI$.....

Travis, Mark and Tom say:

"Hi. We're blink-182.
This past week there've been a lot of questions about the current status of the band, and we wanted you to hear it straight from us. To put it simply, We're back. We mean, really back. Picking up where we left off and then some. In the studio writing and recording a new album. Preparing to tour the world yet again. Friendships reformed. 17 years deep in our legacy."

Summer 2009.

Thanks and get ready…

FNF Party !!!


The GRAMMY energy has definately allready started...1st party post

After our private gig for an A-list director w/ stars like Leo D'caprio in the house, I went w/ Branden Williams (Mickey Avalon's manager) and producer Justin Trugman to a huge party on the Paramount lot inside a huge soundstage they usually make movies on. The party was called FNF standing for "friends and family" of the Industry. It was hosted by Lil Jon and thrown for a couple of people including our friend super producer DR. LUKE (Britney Spears, Katy Perry, Avril Levine, Kelly Clarkson and a million others). He's also executive producing Mickey's album.  A bunch of people DJ'd including Pete Rock and the one and only DJ AM (see pic above). Talib Kwelli performed and no one cared. AM came on after Kwelli and got the party JUMPING! He never ceases to amaze me. And after surving the plane crash, he has this super hero vibe to him and is more humble then ever.

The party was fun! Everyone one from the music biz was there. More producers, rappers, singers, writers, A&R's, label exec's and fine womenz then I've seen in one place in awhile. Then guess who I see? Kojack!!, and he was feeling nice!! After spending the last three days with him, when we saw each other, we had a brothers from another mother scream(JYEAHAH!!) and he gave me some vodka...his suit was the wackiest thing you've ever seen. Wish I had a picture. I'll get one I'm sure. Got to meet a lot of the Swede's from Max Martin's school of pop and saw a lot of new and old friends and associates. It was fun hanging w/ all my producer friends and getting to meet some new one's whose work I respect.

But check this! This is theeeee best thing to happen all night! I'm at the bar and I look over and who is it? NIPSEY HU$$LE!!! My favorite new rapper from LA. I've been listening to his mixtape's all week and have been telling everyone about him. I even posted a blog about him and Jay Rock, on my first or second day blogging. So u can see I'm excited. I step to him and tell him that I think he's next to blow and told him he's my new fave and all that. He says thx homie and asks what I do. "I make beats" I say. He gets excited and gives me his number and tells me let's hook up.  So now I'm geeked! Mission accomplished.  Add a hug and a pound from AM as he's leaving and a brief but meaningful convo w/ DR LUKE on my way out, and I'm on cloud 9.

Slept all day today. Now I'm up. Gonna make some tracks for MR. HU$$LE !!
Now so see ya later fam bam'z

Been busy busy....


Sorry I haven't posted in a couple days I have been really busy in the studio.  I won't get all detailed but it started this week in Mickey Avalon's studio then a drive went down (fuk!). Had to go redo some shizz up at my studio. Then wacthed Dirt Nasty and producer Kojack working on a track upstairs til 5am. Then got up at 10am to head in the studio again at Mickey's house. We fixed what we needed to.  Kojack (long time no see) came over to track a song featuring Perry Ferrel and Mickey. In the meantime I set up upstairs in Mickey's kitchen (see pic above) and started working again...

then off to a pivate gig for a big director...

more on that later

Hilary Duff Disses Faye Dunaway


I'm a lil bias on this cuz I reallly luuuuvvv DUFF but

The Battle of the Bonnie lasses is getting ugly.

Hilary Duff clearly had enough of Faye Dunaway's supposed criticism about whether she has the chops to take on one of the Oscar winner's most iconic roles, the gun-toting Bonnie Parker, in a new flick titled The Story of Bonnie and Clyde.

During a break from filming a guest spot on the set of Ghost Whisperer, Duff told E!'s Daily 10, "I think that my fans that are going to go see the movie don't even know who she is," regarding the Hollywood legend (repeat, Hollywood legend), adding, "I think it was a little unnecessary, but I might be mad if I looked like that now, too."

Duff's diss stems from Dunaway's alleged remark, upon hearing the news that the former Lizzie McGuire starlet would be playing her old part, "Couldn't they at least cast a real actress?"

get GANSTA w her DUFF I got yo back.....

NEW LADY GAGA VIDEO
