another band from the 80's
scotch - delirio mind
dosen't the lead singer look like Vince Vaughn!?
take me up - Scotch
here's another short unimpressive bio:
Scotch was an Italo-disco group during the 1980s, consisting of members Vince Lancini (vocals) and Fabio Margutti (keyboards), joined by Franz Rome (keyboards, programming) for the second album Pictures Of Old Days.
The band had numerous hits, including Take Me Up, Mirage, Delirio Mind, Penguin's Invasion, Plus Plus and Money Runner. The group's single Disco Band (1985) was a major hit in Germany and was sampled on Scooter's 2007 hit single Lass Uns Tanzen, and their song Penguin's Invasion continues to be popular, appearing on various Italo-disco compilations and retrospectives.
and now something from the 90's
95 to be exact

Having a pint with a prophet
On a related note ( read post below)
I feel i must impart on the world some wise words that were told to me by a prophet.
A wise Trinidadian i met in a bar some years ago (foufons electric)
at the time i was going through a painful break up. After a couple mugs of dutch courage i began socializing with strangers.
one of these strangers was a pink tuq totting Carlyel Williams
We began rapping about the world and its contents.
He would constantly give props after everyone of his statements, there were many.
His laugh was infectious.
He had a large mouth full of big pearly white teeth. He looked like a lion when he laughed.
He said he was an artist with a degree at Concordia. He made music, music that to his ears sounded like a cross between Bob Marley and Jimi Hendrix.
His Myspace describes his music and art as:
" original genres of Art and Music, which he calls Eternal Art and Music. Eternal Music is the sum total of the past,present, and future of Music. It is Music created beyond Time and Space"
If this were true then it seems that i had stumbled upon quite the Human Being.
I was surprised that small objects did not gravitate around this intellectually massive man.
Unsurprisingly the fact that my heart was broken came up in conversation.
I confided in him, this strange black man i had just met, that i was feeling quite down in the dumps and i missed my former lover.
He looked straight into my eyes, his dark pools seemed to drown my very soul, he said:
"There are two things wrong with this world. 1: Terrorism and number 2: Sex with your ex."
He bellowed out a mirthy laughter and knocked my knuckles with his.
Wise words from a prophet?
He gave me his demo cd and melted into the crowd.
Those words of wisdom have stayed with me all these years, and will continue to until the end of my physical life.
you see i believe that their is a great metaphysical meaning behind that little 2 point sentence.
since that faithful night i have only seen Mr. Williams 2 other times, the first time was when i was thoroughly intoxicated and i tried and failed to draw out more impressive statements about the world and the second time i saw him ridding a bike downtown, wearing his signature smile and pink tuq.
I suggest you visit his myspace, listen to his music and read his poetry.
at first, and probably at last you will be thoroughly turned off by what this artist is expressing, i know i am, but what do i know. i am no prophet
here is my... favorite...? poem of his:
This is the story of an aware man called LORD, his wife named MERCY, and another
person called A-N-D ........we don't know if A-N-D is a man or a woman....
Who cares anyway.....
LORD came home one night...
Found Mercy with A-N-D in a Patch...
I tell you
She was not only 'bare bottom'
She was also.......Bare Snatch'
LORD said....MERCY......What's happening Honey?
She said.....
Well....I am here gathering Experience....
LORD said....'That makes good common sense...To Me...
Lord said,
Well , I don't have to get 'TIED UP' by Victorian Morality
Because ' I am the LORD, and I know, much better,
Than to take this 'Personally',
So push over, MERCY....Let's have a Threesone,...HONEY....
That's the end of this true story...
I swear they are all living together....And Happy.....
Signed..... LORD, A-N-D, MERCY....
Thank You --------Merci......MERCY....

I just want you to be the best human being you can be.
Never compromise your state of happiness
Make sure your reality is constantly improving
Improve someones reality
Never stop learning
Life is like a mountain trail;
As your hiking up this trail it's good to have different guides with you along this path. for one section of the journey you might have a bird expert who will point out all the awesome birds you would have missed without this guide. Another section of your life path maybe you might have a plant expert who will teach you all you need to know about those crazy plants. sometimes though, you must walk your path alone, with no distractions, so you can truly appreciate the serene quite beauty.
If your dating someone your not happy with and/or you are not learning from .. then what are you doing? wasting time, compromising your reality and your happiness.
lets face it; your not getting married before (hopefully) 28+++ so right now why don't you just enjoy the time you have with your special someone until it's time to move on and experience someone else.
experience is knowledge and knowledge is power, With great power you have so many more opportunities open for you.
Are we going to split hairs here?
people are fascinating. find out for yourself.
go through life like a buffet, after you have tried everything you will know with absolute certainty which dish you want eat for the rest of your life.
walking in the restaurant and going straight for the egg rolls is whack, you know it and i know it.
I just want you to be the best human being you can be.
Drake - November 18th (Chuck inglish remix)
Beaches and Friends (Hey Champ Remix) - French Horn rebellion
Be able to make yourself happy before trying to make someone else happy. Don't delude yourself into thinking you need someone to be happy.
For your own sake you need to love yourself or you will be forever lonely.
Treat yourself, Take the person in the mirror out on a date, you deserve it.

the wounds have stopped weeping and the man soon Burns
I'm back! hello hello
i have so much to say
so many things to show you.
my bag of jewels is a glittering and i am dying to let you take a peek. ya? YA!
First off you crazy kids, I'm on the back end of a bout with poison ivy, i know it's horrible but it looks worse then it is. I'm on heavy drugs and it should clear up with a couple days.
because of this i have had to take off work
therefore i have had a lot of time with my thoughts, my computer, music and everything else that makes me smile in my humble home.
I Hate Tiesto! and I'm no fan of mainstream housey/trance but this track is dope.
yesterday i was standing next to my pool wearing black short shorts and drinking a large glass of water whilst listening to this track and generally enjoying life. i hope you like it too.
speaking of enjoying life here are some other tracks that will brighten you mood and your life.
Rick James - Give it to me baby
My Secret lover - Private (Diplo remix)
This track exudes gangsterism with a touch of emotionality, great to drive reallll slowwww to.
I am not a robot - (penguin Prison remix) Marina & the diamonds
I heard about this track from my friend Kerne's facebook status update. it's dope it's melodic. The piano and the vocals are what get me feelin groovy
Oh Snap! check this track out
Ron Hardy Said (Eric Prydz remix) - Paolo Mojo & Jim Rivers
This one is fucking heavy, it has it all; intellectual ravings at the beginning(my fav), heavy beats, melodic synths in the back and grimy rave sounds near the middle/end
Also amazing news! I'm going to BURNING MAN 09!!! holy roaming rectangles batman!
an 8 day music/art/freedom of expression festival in the Black Rock Desert in Nevada, 2 hours north of Reno
check it out: www.burningman.com
and this pretty dope trailer of burning man, trust me I've seen a lot of them:
I'm leaving the 29th and coming back the 9th
it will be madness, pure aesthetically pleasing madness
