Jazz musician Dave Golberg, An open letter to L.A. club owners:

But lets think about this for a second and turn this around a little bit.What if I told the wine bar owner that I have a great band and we are going to play at my house. I need someone to provide and pour wine while we play. I can’t pay much, just $75 and you must bring at least 25 people who are willing to pay a $10 cover charge at the door. Now wouldn’t they look at you like you are crazy?

“Why would I do that,” they would ask? Well, because it’s great exposure for you and your wine bar. The people there would see how well you pour wine and see how good your wine is. Then they would come out to your wine bar sometime. “But I brought all the people myself, I already know them,” they would say. Well maybe you could make up some professional looking flyers, pass them out, and get people you don’t know to come on out.

“But you are only paying me $75, How can I afford to make up flyers?” You see how absurd this sounds, but musicians do this all the time.

This Glow-in-the-Dark Snowboarding Video Will Blow Your Mind

Jacob Sutton’s simply gorgeous video captures pro snowboarder William Hughes on a night run in the French Alps — in an LED-encrusted snowsuit. The suit was specially designed by John Spatcher for the shoot. “I was really drawn to the idea of a lone character made of light surfing through darkness,” Sutton tells Nowness, the culture blog that produced the video, in a post on their site. “I’ve always been excited by unusual ways of lighting things, so it seemed like an exciting idea to make the subject of the film the only light source.”

I’m playing this game with Noelle where I describe a Pokemon to her, and she tries to draw it. She knows little to no things about Pokemon so this is very amusing to me.

These are her attempts at Bulbasaur, Charizard, and Blastoise.

In my defense of Blastoise, Lloyd’s description was:

Blastoise is like a big blue tortoise that walks on its hind-legs. He has kinda stubby and round arms that kinda look like those hams with string tied around them, a little tail, and kinda small ears that stick out of his head. He has a big brown shell, and in that big brown shell there are two white cannons that stick out and peek over his shoulders diagonally. They’re not big but they’re noticeable.

ANECHOIS - Written on the Walls (live)

So this is our Baybeats audition from Saturday. Still can’t believe I’ve been on the Esplanade Outdoor Theatre (albeit for just one song now).

Mesita - Everything Is Burning

love, percussive, folk, music.

—-

free download at http://soundcloud.com/mesita/everything-is-burning
from the upcoming album The Coyote, to be released early 2012.

seeing everything is burning
dance all in the flames and fall in
coughing up the blood that spills in
losing hold a lasting spirit

once a prince and now is fading
hopeless for the time spent caving
fearing for a darker feeling
chasing all the demons leering

when everything is
everything is burning
everything is
an endgame waiting

loving something not returning
searching for a left turn somewhere
see a light into the distance
keeping strong in its persistence

building for a better future
chasing for a deeper meaning
gaining all in newfound courage
striking down the demons leering

when everything is
everything is burning
everything is
an endgame waiting

Excellent way to end the day

from the upcoming collaboration album with Korean pianist Sima Kim. This is one of my favourites from the album. The album is half made with an agricultural, step by step manner…the other half, with pure improvisation from a sudden moment of inspiration.

It’s kind of like you know when you make a cake, you don’t say this cake is uh … flour meets milk meets sugar, you know it’s kind of like the cake is just … how it tastes and what it looks like you know and, I don’t know I think that we’re kind of a complicated cake, you know, there’s lots of spices and sometimes it’s really sweet, there’s probably definitely a very sweet layer, almost too sweet, but then there’s also some citrus at the bottom, you know, to kind of make up for it.

How Do You Say ‘Badonkadonk’ in Chinese?

In the age of YouTube and social media, American English lessons have been taken to another level. Meet Jessica Beinecke, a Voice of America journalist who decided that she could leverage all the web 2.0 tools at her disposal to create a show that taught Chinese youth American slang. It’s shot with only a webcam and was exclusively on Chinese Youku until recently migrating to YouTube.

Beinecke went viral in China much earlier than in the U.S., having somehow struck a chord with a video about boogers that garnered 1.5 million hits. She now has posted hundreds of shows — covering everything from “badakadonk” to “chillax”. The solo effort has paid off, winning hundreds of thousands of adoring Chinese fans on Weibo and accumulating nearly 8 million total hits on the shows. Read more.
