ANA’S COACHELLA RECAPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!

COACHELLA-ELLA-ELLA-EH-EH-EH… COACHELLA STARTED LAST WEDNESDAY FOR ME. Good times this year at the indie rock vacation.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 23
For me Coachella started on my night La Boum @ 86 on Wednesday. That Wednesday was like having Christmas and my birthday on the same day… the night started out with a super secret Battles show on our small stage… a slew of awesome peeps in town early for Coachella and a slew of peeps that won and performed at the NME awards came over to after-party. In the mix were peeps like Klaxons, The Teenagers, MGMT, Vampire Weekend, Aggyness Deyn, Kelly Osbourne, Albert Hammond Jr band + Fab, Misshapes, Paserock, Danny Masterson, Bijou Phillips, Har Mar Superstar, Maroon 5, Kimberly Stewart, DIOYY, The Like and sooo many more. It was like the super indie-rock summit you wished you were at. Everyone was more drunk than I’ve ever seen them and amazingly enough we got no photos… not even a photo of someone in one of the above named bands deciding to take a little pee in the middle of the club when the bathroom line got too long.

THURSDAY, APRIL 24
We decided to still do PASH at The Room on Thursday and had our buddies Geordon (Misshapes) and Cory Nitta (Pink Enemy) dj the night. Awesomely enough not all our buddies had already travelled to the fest and came out to hang pre-Coachella style.

FRIDAY, APRIL 25
We drove out to the desert on Friday morning and went straight to the party at The Oasis which was literally just across the street from the main entrance. Walking distance party… So rad. Every year one of my Coachella dreams is to have access to a golf cart… Walking around in that heat is intense… Amazingly enough the dudes at the Oasis party gave me access to a GOLF CART!!! Good pal CC and I hopped in and met up with our pals MGMT over at their bus. Little did we know we’d be glued to their hip for the next two days. Right away Andrew from the band told us a story about how a fan in SF had gifted them basically a tree of weed. He goes into the fridge and shoes us the proof. Full on WEED TREEEEEE!!!

We ended up abusing that golf cart taking it from stage to stage to catch shows and then heading back to the bus every few hours to hang out with that tree. The Verve was rad. We met up with lil baby Cory Kennedy and her Parisian friend Andre and all sang along to Bittersweet Symphony.. It’s good to fun into friends in different places… Like sweet Jeremy…

We (CC, Andrew, Ben and myself) somehow thought it would be a good idea to go back to the Dim Mak house, get into the Dim Mak van and head to the Music Loves Fashion party I was supposed to DJ with Misshapes. We head to our house (2 blks away from the fest) and somehow took a hour and half ride in the golf cart trying to find it in the subdivision. That tree really knocked us into la la land. In the end that winding trip around all the exactly the same houses was one of the most fun adventures of the whole weekend. By the time we got in the van I got a call from Geordan Misshapes to say that the party had been shut down by cops so instead we headed to the Spin after party. All I can say is there was a DJ Perry Farell, we pet a live tiger and shut down the party finally getting home around 5AM.

SATURDAY, APRIL 26
We woke up fairly early on Saturday and made breakfast at the house… We headed to the fest in our sweet golf cart and instantly met up at the MGMT trailer and proceeded to hang with them once again all day. I was bummed that we got to the fest a lil’ late because ended up missing Uffie and the Teenagers (both who i really wanted to see). The MGMT set was at 3:40 so CC and ran over to their stage and got ourselves a good spot near the stage. Their show was amazing. The tent was packed!!! The guys played an amazing set and the crowd went bonkers. So good to see your good buddy get some good lovin’ from a massive crowd.

I had to leave the fest early to head over to DJ the T-Mobile/Playstation party at this scary airport out in the middle of the desert. The party was INSANE! I basically dj’d the Playstation Singstar Lounge for five hours. It was super fun. Good buddies like Danny Masterson, Alexi Wasser and Bijou Phillips all did stellar karaoke sets. These dudes also DJ’d

And these chicks also partied…

And I had to hear Rod Stewarts son and his ‘entourage’ and seven other groups of people karaoke “Mr Brightside” by the Killers over and over and over again. That was basically the only Downside. (:

We tried to trek it out to Jeremy Scott/Adidas party in Palm Springs but didn’t make it in time so we headed home and passed ourselves out.

SUNDAY, APRIL 27
Sunday the last official day of Coachella and our boys MGMT were on their bus to Vegas so we were left to make our own party. And that we did. We headed over to the Oasis party and CC and I dj’d along side Danny Masterson and some dude who played lots-o-reggae. Ran into super buddy James Franco and his awesome girlfriend Ahna. We Dj’d then went to the fest to try to catch Spiritualized but managed to just hang backstage gabbing away to everyone so long that we missed them. Headed over to Love & Rockets but couldn’t get a good enough view so went to see SIA. That was the jam. She was so good. Ran into Jeremy Scott, Cory, Bret Fl
ight of the Conchords and more buddies. After we headed back to the artist area and chilled with Jamie Klaxons and Mark Ronson and some other cute boys. Everyone was a little weirded out by the Roger Waters performance. I saw a flying pig and some fireworks. I saw Sean Penn walking around super tan and buff, we made Eugene from Autolux grab the tapestries from his trailer to give to us because we were freezing. All bundled up we waited out the crowd before heading to the Danny’s afterparty at the Oasis.

Mark and Jamie were like a preppy tag-team. I decided this pic would be the cover image for their new ‘buddy’ movie.

Here are some mischievous boys, Jason Rilo Kiley and James Maroon 5

We ended our Coachella experience at the Oasis. A big crew of us camped out in front of Danny’s DJ booth and just recapped the whole drunken weekend… Later on the Goldenvoice girls (Donna, Stacey and Lyndsey) showed and really kicked the party up a notch.. Then my new BFF, Bret from Flight of the Conchords showed up late-late-night and created a new dance move for us called the “hein-lick maneuver”. Hottest new dance of the year and second favorite moment from Coachella.

Good times.

2 Days In Paris: Movie Review

I ended up going yet again to Blockbuster…I got 2 days in Paris.

i always seem to see it on the shelf but always walk past it but this time i decided it was time to see what its all about.

2 days in paris was written and directed by Julie Delpy and she also stars in the film with Adam Goldberg.
The film is pretty good. its not chick flick, I think anyone can watch it and get a good laugh at it. Its an honest movie from describing the people of france to how the characters are developed. Cinematography wise the film has a lot detail with color and objects, which was probably my favorite part. Your gonna have to see go rent it to see what i mean…

cheers!

melodic chainsaws, 40 year old pase, n some djs do coachella

I wax trying to do videos for missbehave but they all suck. I guess my voice is sorta chainsaw ish. this video is horrible. I am annoying and everyone is boring in it.

How about some hardcore?

yeah we like it raw!!! this is an M.O.P. reference. M.O.P. is a rap group from Brownsville Brooklyn which is about ten minutes from where I am right now which is around the corner from the Huxtables in Brooklyn Heights. I’m telling you this because I know if you are reading this a. you are probably a somewhat corny candy ass 19 - 24 year old hipster from LA who was somewhere in California and about 3 or 4 years old when this song came out, or you were like 11 when “ante up” came out. OR b. you’re just an old clueless motherfucker, which is okay. OR c. you’re not from America and you just think Steve Aoki is the coolest DJ evar. which, I dont know how cool that is. you be the judge and jury of that. bottom line, Pase Rock is old as fuck. So you’re gonna have to deal with my fucked up hip hop references. Anyway, I was supposed to be on a plane right now leaving Los Angeles for New York but guess what? I came home a day early! why, you might ask? (WHY PASE?) because I had to fly home early from Coachella to DJ for my favorite woman on the planet (other than my Mom or my Grandma or my cousin/ big sis Valencia who is in some of these pics… and yes Sarah I call my grandma when I’m rolling on ecstasy at 10 am, more on that later.) it’s Santogold! I’m not just saying that because her buzz is more buzzed than your shitty alcoholic uncle. Santi is kinda my favorite person for real. For one, she is 1/3rd responsible for my biggest (only?barely?) hit “Lindsay Lohan’s Revenge” all written in her living room. Anyway, her album comes out tomorrow. Tuesday April 29th. buy that shit. So she’s on Conan tonight (watch that shit). She kills it. I’m in the background dancing around in my new little hat looking like Jean Pierre Le Douche (waddup Parra!). I forgot my rings so i was kinda pissed off. Her dancers are hot as fuck, and I tried to make out with Desiree one night a few months ago but she was not having it. You would think by now I would know when I got the green light and when I should just go home, jerk off and call it a night. Nooooo, I had to go ruin a decent casual friendship trying to hit home runs. (douche chills!!!) so what was I talking about? SANTOGOLD! I missed her Coachella set cuz me and Them Jeans, Dan Oh, Gina, my friend Kara and Sarah Morrison (who never stops talking ever, and on top of that she talks so fast its completely incomprehensible gibberish. It just starts sounding like a melodic chainsaw after awhile) were eating BBQ and enjoying the comforts of our heated swimming pool (sidenote: Aoki never showed up.) (another sidenote: excessive use of unnecessary parentheses stops here>>>>)

So saturday I hit Coachella at about 7 pm, catch a little Kraftwerk and Portishead and MIA’s last song. I just wanted to see Prince. and I decided that today was the day I was going to dabble in illegal substances. I don’t do drugs. I barely even drink. Make fun of me and my Pinot Grigio or Perseco at the club if you want. I’m thirty and sexy as a motherfucker, so you can eat a dick you fucking zombied out dipshits. I’m gonna live a long healthy life. and remember what the fuck happened towards the end. Santi feels the same way. This is what saddened me when I finally ran into her at Coachella on Saturday. She yells my name and I run up and give her a hug. She then says “Pase you have to hang out with me. Everybody is either on drugs or looking for drugs and you and me have to be together and be the sober ones. I’m all “uhhhhhh, dude. dont be mad at me but I’m ROLLING MY FACE OFF RIGHT NOW!” I watched her jaw drop and heart sink. I knew that I would never be doing that shit again. But as much as I love Santi i wasn’t about to let her kill my high. ECSTASY IS THE SHIT! HOLLLLUUUURRRRRRRRRR!!!!
I’m not gonna talk about how dope Prince is/was because honestly I dont remember much of it. I was too busy telling all my friends how much I loved them and I didnt want to be in any other place but there with them wacthing Prince. This was all true. but it’s the kind of thing you usually pick a better time and place for, or maybe not. I’m not the most talkative dude on the planet so I figured I would take this rare occasion to tell my friends how much I loved them (shout out to Bryan and Chris Devlin and Alex) having really hot girls around never hurts either.

there is no point to this long ass shit. I just wanted to share some pics. these are from the last week or so. Me hanging out in my neighborhood. Me, Eli, Alex and Amanda in the studio working on Amanda’s debut. Me and Valencia taking the boys (Cade and Bam Bam) to the park. some shots from the DJ house BBQ and some shots from Conan today. not so many of me cuz I’m taking the pics! p.s. Conan is on RIGHT NOW! tune into NBC wherever you are.

I haven’t showered since Brooklyn

Coachella was a hot mess as usual. I could bore you with my play by play detailed account of what i did each hour for all three days, but Ill save that for the blog that pays me. Instead, here are a few of my favorite moments at Coachella. I was gonna write more, but I’m gonna shower and get xexy for the Standard now instead.

-I wake up to Pase loudly talking on the phone around 9 am. He apparently has been up the entire night doing drugs and around 8 am just started drinking. They also apparently lost the rental car in the Coachella parking lot. So, he is pacing around the pool, drink in hand, on the phone with his mom. He later calls his dad. At some point his phone dies and he actually started using Jason’s. We went to leave at noon, Pase was forced to hang up with grandma so Jason could have his phone back.

-I sorta feel someone looking at me. I look up and it’s Wes. (We are not speaking.) I look back away, pretending not to see him. He then moves so he is standing right in front of me. I keep having the conversation I am having, pretending now that he is invisible. He then started to fake throw water at me or some shit. Everyone got sorta awkward trying to figure out who to pay attention to. The night ends, he ends up walking to the car with all of us. I move so hes not walking next to me. I hear someone go, “What’s up with Sarah not talking to Wes?” Sean goes, “Oh they got in a fight on the internet.”

SERIOUSLY SICK OF ALL OF THIS!!!…..
