work hard, play hard, keep partying like it's your job! woah, that's deep!!! i'm no fan of David Guetta's uber cheesy music for the masses; it's like really bad 90s eurotrash electronica to me & i'm still baffled at how much of a hit that sound is with bros & their hos... but this video is so good, i've been willing to endure this muzak for the mega clubs & tacky stores from Hollywood's Melrose to South Beach's Washington & around the world & back, just to watch it a few times. this is by far the best video Guetta has ever had! ANDREAS NILSSON is absolutely brilliant!!! if the music makes you cringe as well, watch the whole thing anyway because you're gonna love it...

The Place Beyond... To The Wonder
The Place Beyond The Pines has done really well in LA & NY so far. today it hits theaters nationwide; go see it! as for To The Wonder, it's out today as well. this is my favourite blurb about the film: All footage of the performances by Jessica Chastain, Rachel Weisz, Amanda Peet, Barry Pepper and Michael Sheen were removed from the final cut... but what's left is brilliant!

BEAT MAKING LAB
Cho Cho Cho is the first song and music video produced and written by the youth of Goma, Democratic Republic of Congo. created in a Beat Making Lab, the song was inspired by a popular call-and-response chant in Goma, and the video was filmed during Yole!Africa's SKIFF Festival dance competition.
my mother might have been born in Cape Town where my Belgian grandparents lived during WWII, but she subsequently grew up in the Belgian Congo for the first 15 years of her life, precisely in Bukavu (right next to Goma)... i myself grew up knowing it as Zaire, which was still relatively calm & much safer than it is now, well, as long as my parents were in business with Mobutu & if they didn't directly profit from his presidential reign, or should i say dictatorship, then their source of income was in some way feeding his incredible wealth as well... then the cold war ended, Mobutu fell & fled to the French Riviera with his billions of dollars, interpol came down on Mobutu's former profiteers & with that my father's business went down the toilet, such as everything else in Zaire, and the country was renamed the Democratic Republic of Congo. fortunately by that time my parents had divorced & i was off to South America with my mom & my stepfather, for a much less tumultuous life that came with diplomatic immunity... anyway, all of this to say that somehow, in some way, the Congo will always have a special place in my heart. almost everyone in my mother's family lived there in colonial times & thanks to them i will one day inherit a lot of ivory & malachite for the house that i will one day be able to afford on my own (hey just keeping it superficial here, that's my thing). some of my relatives still travel to the Congo with the best interest of its people in mind & i hope i can too one day; it's the Belgian version of "white guilt" i suppose... so i'm always happy to see people get in there in spite of how dangerous & messy it has become. i love to see artists bring people together & into the light! SUPPORT BEAT MAKING LAB!

LisaTV @ Jeremy Scott F/W 2013
YAY! LisaTV hits the the Jeremy Scott show at NY fashion week...
Lisa makes everything better! more magic here & here & here! other than that, Jeremy Scott seems stuck, like he's recycling himself again & trying too hard to stay "young." maybe i'm just bored with his junk, or the fact that he's not putting any effort whatsoever into re-imagining the work of those he steals from (i.e. Jimbo Phillips). only Lisa could pull it off & make it look more interesting, no doubt! it's her love & appreciation for Jimbo Phillips & the other visual references, as well as her non-judgmental take on Jeremy Scott's appropriations that make this piece even more endearing. LONG LIVE LISA TV!

CHRIS MILK + BECK doing BOWIE
Chris Milk is brilliant! his collaboration with Beck is everything!!! watch this cover of David Bowie's Sound & Vision with 167 other musicians. give it a few minutes & experience the pure magic it becomes, all through the end! for more details, read on gizmondo...
i was so lucky to be one of the guests that night; we sat on a platform that rotated around the circular stage Beck performed on, while voyaging through the waves of musicians behind us; this is what Chris Milk is recreating for an interactive experience, still in post at this time... i took a few iphone snaps along the way. click on them to enlarge:
