Yeasayer

So a while back. My friend Rob introduced Elliott and I to this band Yeasayer. He showed us this video of them playing their song "2080" in some random house on a piano. The creativity and energy in this live performance is amazing.

2080 & tightrope


After seeing this video, Elliott, Lalo and I went to this bar that has a piano. We sat down and tried to play this song and make up our own lyrics. About 5 minutes in, some random ass people joined in to add their own flavor on the piano. It was a night to remember.(elliott was a genius)

My favorite part in this video is the guy who looks like Matt from Matt and Kim, smiling so big and bopping up and down. You will know who im talking about. He is one of the random people in the back.

The band members are Anand Wilder, Chris Keating, Ira Wolf Tuton, and Luke Fasano.

GO BUY All hour Cymbals!

The Inheritance

Sorry for being absent for a week or 2! I started a second job and have been deathly ill this last week.

Anyways...


One of my Great Great ggreat great friends, Mr. Ian Hoey, has a sister. Her name is April..and I am in love with her..HEHE jk. Well.. in the past.. i always heard she could sing and that she was amazing, but never really got a chance to hear her. The eye opening...jaw dropping, heart melting moment happened like this.

It was a beautiful night. Friends were gathered at the Hoey residence to celebrate two virgos birthdays(i may have made this part up because i have a bad memory). The lumpia was crisp(only Filipino food a white guy knows), the beer was chilled, and love was in the air. hehe jk again. Anyways.. im over this story telling none sense.

Ian and his band, Chasing Claymores , just got done playing their first show ever which left me speechless because i have never seen Ian play drums before. He's insane my friends.

April goes up next to do a couple songs she has been working on. Well...the cops come and tell everyone to keep it down. Does this stop Apes? NOOO! She did an acoustic set which truly showed her vocal talent. She was amazing...breathtaking...mesmerizing....tantalizing..and beautiful.

Her new band..Love the acoustic..cant wait to hear the whole band.


Myspace : The Inheritance

Band Members : April Hoey (Vocals)

Ian Hoey (Drums)

Josh Foulk (Guitar/Keys/Vocals)

Jamie Vanwagoner (Guitar/Vocals)

Dan Thale (Bass/Keys)





OH and if you ever need a guitarist that shreds and sleds..slaps the bass and kisses face..huh? Don't hesitate to call. I even grew out my hair...

Bat and Tim..Wait..sorry..Matt and Kim

So a while back I was introduced to this Sexy Brooklyn based Duo by my good friend Harold aka Pipe Dreams aka Side Pipin aka Elliott Giffis. No matter where we would go, what we would be doing, we would put on some Matt and Kim and instantly start dancing, smiling, and probably running naked through the streets of San Francisco. WHoops...uhhmmm :D.

We first saw them live in San Diego at the Beauty Bar. The crowd was kinda weird....i think they didnt really know how to respond to Matt and Kim live. Matt cracks jokes and Kim just smiles none stop. I think she permanently is stuck that way.

Harold(Elliott), Me, and a few loyal fans were the only ones sporadically dancing....one guy wanted to crowd surf so bad that he overlooked the scattered crowd, saw me in the front..and dived on me full force. For about 5 minutes i carried this drunk fuck around the room. HAHAHA.

Anyways..

Most of you have probably heard the song Yeah Yeah

And even more of you have probably heard the Flosstradamus remix.



Back in January, 2009, They released their second album called "Grand". Amazing amazing amazing!

Yes...I love third eye blind..i dont care what anyone says. I grew up in a beach town and they have a beach feeling at times. One of the best live shows ive seen in a while.

Current song: Kings of Leon - Use Somebody

This is by far my favorite band. Unique sound...unique voice




Mysterious Beauty

Father and Son

Current Song: Cat Stevens - Father and Son

Here is a live version of Cat Stevens Father and Son..Great song


I like this guys version too.. Just so you know.. I love looking up covers of my favorite songs because I like seeing random talent out there. Gives me inspiration.



So my Pops came up to San Francisco about 2 weeks ago. For the most part, it was good. For the first time I got to know who my Father really was. I learned a lot about his past which was really overwhelming. The things he accomplished and is still accomplishing to this day are amazing. After hearing all the things he has gone through or done, made me feel this shadow being cast by him. I felt I had a lot to live up too.

The whole time he was up here we just walked everywhere in the city. No cabs, buses, or cars. It was a great experience. All the photos are mainly of his back.. I think subconsciously i took them like this haha.

Started off in Union Square


Went through China town. Somehow he knew all the history of this place. I think he knows everything there is to know about this world


BAHHAHAHAHAHHH RAWR


My Pops!! Mr. Rick Scott. We both love coffee and Sweets!


Washington Square park. Will I succeed as he has? The back shots commence!



Headed to Haight St. Apparently he loves Kid Robot?


Followed by golden gate park







Sums up the Scott Family. Always pondering life..taking it in.


Headed near my neck of the woods.



Ended the day with a beer and a good conversation.


All in all it was a good trip. I came to the conclusion that I don't need to follow in his steps and just need to break free and live my life how i see fit. To each their own. Live life my friends!

Midnight Marauders

Current song:

The Smashing Pumpkins - Tonight, Tonight
^^^Click to watch the video! I love it.^^^


Love the beginning lyrics..

Time is never time at all
You can never ever leave without leaving a piece of youth
And our lives are forever changed
We will never be the same
The more you change the less you feel

DANGG!! DEEP!!


So today was a very beautiful day in San Francisco. The sun was out and the air was warm...rare occasion indeed. On days like this, there are only 2 things on my mind. Dolores park and a nice cold beer!

I met up with Sir Elliott, EJ, and friends before heading to the park.


We took a stroll on Haight St. Real gay like




Dolores park. Lalo x Vicki


Lalo x Vicki x Sunny poo (my roommate :D )




After the park Lalo, Sunny and I went on a very fun moped ride along fishermans wharf and embarcadero.

On our way home we stopped to get some candy...i got overwhelmed..YOU KNOW ME AND SWEETS!!! I CANT RESIST!!

And to our luck..In and OUt was right next door. An unhealthy night indeed.


Back home! :)



Ended the night video chatting with this dumb Bitch. Ruined my night
