Side note:

I’ve been work­ing on a Kamele Demo with a few remixes and a cou­ple orig­i­nal tracks on it.

I also have a weekly rock DJ gig at Dirty in PDX. The weekly is called Con­flict.
Just about too busy to blog ran­dom­ness. Keep posted though.

Cap’n Kamele is get­ting nos­tal­gic about his old days in the fleet and DJing cou­ple live sets at Fables By Bar­rie grand open­ing cel­e­bra­tion. This may turn out to be another appear­ance full of debauch­ery and match­ing outfits.

Kamele dab­bles in come live gui­tar dur­ing the set.

Kamele def­i­nitely plans on recre­at­ing the mix from the live set and dis­trib­ut­ing it out among the inter­net. Stay tuned for that.

Key­hole Cabaret!

It is my first time back in the sad­dle this year. I got a new rig to try out live Sat­ur­day. I am not spin­ning vinyl for this one (don’t have enough oldie records). I got a new Korg and Nova­tion midi con­troller and am going to do live beat impro­vi­sa­tion and then throw down some sweet remix tracks of Frank Sina­tra, Mar­i­lyn Mon­roe, and other clas­sics. Check.. check it out.

It starts at 9pm at The Ruby Room.

My friend Lady Bor­gia and the lovely Vamp Tomato are per­form­ing as well.

Due to my insanely eclec­tic sched­ule and my lack of an auto­mo­bile I ended up arriv­ing to the RIMAC arena just at the end of Man­ches­ter Orchestra’s set. Man­ches­ter was two of the five bands that per­formed. Pre­ceded by White Rab­bits (which I was dis­ap­pointed I missed) then fol­lowed by Phoenix, Vam­pire Week­end, and Spoon.

Phoenix Per­form­ing their song “Lasso” off of their album Wolf­gang Amadeus Phoenix

Fin­ish­ing up their set they played their hit sin­gle “1901” and the crowd went wild as did Thomas Mars, lead singer of Phoenix. He stopped the song towards the end and asked the venue to kill the house lights. He then dis­ap­peared and even­tu­ally resur­faced in the mid­dle of the audi­ence with micro­phone and cord in tow and fin­ished an encore of their very ener­getic song. Then he crowd surfed back to the stage. Check the video: “Phoenix crowd surfs”

Up next was Vam­pire Week­end who at first had some tech­ni­cal dif­fi­cul­ties. They played some of their already clas­sic songs from their self titled album includ­ing One (Blake’s Got A New Face) / Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa / I Stand Cor­rected. In between they played some of their new songs from the upcom­ing album “Con­tra” which their first sin­gle has a very fun and ener­getic video.

Vam­pire Week­end per­forms their song “Cousins” from the upcom­ing album Contra.

The Rev­erend Mace at the Church of Space Mountain

I may or may of not been under the influ­ence when I con­ducted my bi-monthly ser­mon on Space Mountain.

Wear­ing a suit increases your accu­racy exponentially.

Although I had some deadly accu­racy on Buzz Lightyear’s Astro Blaster after learn­ing some of the secret tar­gets. Poor Sam Far­rady did not stand a chance against my onslaught.

It seems at Dis­ney all the kids seem to act like adults and all the adults want to ask like kids. Luck­ily they make bev­er­ages and such that help us achieve that lovely child­hood wonder.

But the main event was this:

Cau­tion if you are prone to epilepsy or exces­sive fre­netic danc­ing use cau­tion while watching.

Ghost­land tore it up, rocked the house, and lasered the shit out of the HOB.

Unlike the last time I saw them they played my favorite song the sim­ple yet bril­liant Sil­ver City and an extended ver­sion at that:
