PORTAL Short film FANTASTIC!

so if you are a colossal video game geek like i am and you have played or know the concept of the hit "Portal" i suggest you watch this doozie of a film, its amazingly thought out. kudos! i love it. you will too.

I have CATARACTS and all i see is SEXY!

so i gotta say im addicted now as urban, electronic, rock and international music stream together into the same babbling whirlpool, music critics and industry hacks and along with some confused fans have struggled to classify things into increasingly weird categories: emo-rap, trap-hop, neo-electro-hyphy-clash. The kids making the music? Shit, they’re too busy pushing things forward to worry about those labels. so why do can  it? enjoy the fucking music. im sorry but music it sound, and i hate when music elitist say that DJs and producers of pop, have no skill. alot of thought and work goes into building the structure of a song. you dont need a guitar in hand, or a piano. yeah its more classic, but artist can paint with many different types of paint and brushes.

That’s the dynamic spirit of The Cataracs, a Berkeley-based duo who fuses musical genres into something uniquely of their own design. Their new mixtape project KIDS, presented by New York’s DJ Eleven, is a montage of their own electric fusion of sound, spotlighting the singles “Baby Baby (The Lover’s Anthem)” and “Murder She Wrote.” good songs check em out guys

The Cataracs are David Singer-Vine, 20, who performs as “Campa,” and Niles Hollowell-Dhar, 19, known as “Cyrano.” Fellow students at Berkeley High School, the pair originally became acquainted not as friends, but as sophomore rivals: after a CD featuring Campa’s rapping circulated their school, Cyrano penned a good-natured diss record in response. It was hardly a case of Tupac versus Biggie – the two quickly squashed the beef and eventually teamed up in 2003 to become The Cataracs (they say the name represents “seeing things differently”).

With both members sharing vocalist duties and Cyrano as the group’s sole producer, the pair demonstrated a knack for hybridizing bare-knuckled urban music with the dance-friendly sounds of electronic music and memorable melodies of pop. Unshackled by previous generations’ stigmas and biases towards the meshing of musical genres, the teenagers were free to trust their own instincts. Let’s call it the audacity of dope.

Citing influences as varied as Mac Dre, The Notorious B.I.G., The Beatles and Bruce Springsteen, The Cataracs pride themselves on being hard to pin down. Case in point: the warbling auto-tuned vocals and emotive synths of “Baby Baby (The Lover’s Anthem)” seem drawn from the genetic material of 80’s glam acts like A Flock of Seagulls, while the stuttering, distorted drums and raunchy lyrics of “Popsicle” could be the offspring of Simian Mobile Disco and Uncle Luke. Still, these divergent sounds are effectively cohesive when brought together by The Cataracs’ energy, sense of humor and undeniably entertaining chemistry.

In July of 2006, The Cataracs released Technohop Vol. 1 independently. And in the tradition of so many other Bay Area luminaries, they peddled copies directly from the car trunk – 2,000 units in three months. A month later, the single “Blueberry Afghani”—a hypnotic 808-backed treat featuring The Pack of “Vans” fame—was highlighted as 106 KMEL’s “Download of the Week” and soon made it to the station’s airwaves. The track went to earn critical acclaim from “The Fader,” “XLR8R,” and UK’s “Hip-Hop Connection” and landed a slot on the In School Suspension compilation.

In April of 2007, The Cataracs re-upped with Technohop Vol. 2. This album earned a spot on the ABC News website as their “Pick of the Day” and four out of five “slaps” from influential local authority “The Slap Report.” The lead single, “Casanova,” recorded over 350 spins on stations in the Bay Area and Pacific Northwest.

The Cataracs’ most polished effort to date was last January’s The 13th Grade. The project referenced the transition between high school and college, but it also marked a crossroads where the group’s sound (if not its exuberant lyrical content) reached artistic maturity.

The latest triumph for The Cataracs is KIDS,a mixtape orchestrated by DJ Eleven, a New York City trendsetter who plans to join the group on an upcoming multi-city tour. Thus far, The Cataracs have performed at events such as “Paid in Full 3: The Hella Fresh Fest” alongside notables including Clyde Carson, Traxamillion, and Zion-I.

JO CALDERONE - INTERVIEW

WHERE ARE YOU FROM?

Palermo, Sicily

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE WHAT YOU DO / YOUR

OCCUPATION?

Mechanic for my dad's business. This is the first time I've had my picture

taken.

WHEN DID YOU DISCOVER YOU WANTED TO TO THIS?

Well, I always helped my dad at work, since I was a kid. I thought it would be

fun to have my picture taken.

WHAT ARE YOUR AMBITIONS?

I'd love to own my own car shop, I have a bunch of my own ‘muscle’ cars.

Maybe if I take some more pictures I can afford it.

WHAT IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP TO LADY GAGA?

I met her at a shoot Nick Knight was doing. She's fuckin beautiful, and funny,

and interesting. I was a little nervous for Nick to start shooting. She said,

"Don't be baby, you were "born this way." I took her out after. The rest is

private ;)

Well then! Lady Gaga is clearly bored and is running out of ideas to shock and amuse us!. 

Cazwell: SEXXXY, BOLD, AND MAKING A MARK

Luke Caswell (born June 27, 1972 in Worcester, Massachusetts), known as Cazwell, is an American rapper and songwriter. Now i like music and sometimes i listen to pretty off-beat stuff, and he is a bit off-beat, but in a good way, sometimes being gay myself, it helps to listen to some gay music and he does not pull any punches with the gay-shit He is best known for his explicit lyrics and collaborations with Amanda Lepore. His work focuses on gay and bisexual urban themes and content and his music and videos are heavily played on LOGO. Cazwell himself is openly gay and sexy mother fucker at that.

The Thing I like Most about Cazwell is he is making a name for himself, i like his scruff, I like BALLS and lets face it, he has all three(think about it) his lyrics are not amazing, his videos are simple, BUT! i just love his boldness. he makes me laugh and lemme just say, ICE CREAM TRUCK is a fuckin SEXXXY ass video. KUDOS to you and ur posse Cazwell, lemme direct a music video for you! i have some Sick ideas! 

THANKS AGAIN FOR READING!! SPREAD THE WORD!!!!
