Tonight Tonight....



Save Our Scene, Save Our Sound, whatever it stands for, it means the same thing...more fun times, more great dancing and more great music!

"Over the last few months the dance music scene that seemed to be so vibrant has begun to wane" says Republic Pro's Paul. So, in order to continue to bring great DJs and acts to Orlando, Smile For Camera and some other dudes you know is proud to present the first of two events in the S.O.S. concert series!

Hot Pink Delorean (Boston) will be kicking off the movement, tonight at Suite B. Last time they were here, it was a blast. See previous galleries and see the fun everyone had!

SOS Orlando will not be a new weekly night at any one particular club or even on a particular day of the week. What it will be is a chance to grab touring DJs and bring them to Florida when they otherwise wouldn’t be able to. Orlando has now become THE pivitol city in Florida in which a lot of touring DJs base their schedule on. SOS plans to keep bringing the national DJs through Orlando and Florida.

Suite B, the venue these first two events will take place at, has recently upgraded a ton of stuff. The sound system is better, the A/C is better, and most importantly, the drink special are insane!

Check this out!

10pm-11pm 2 for 1 Beer and Wine
11pm-12am 2 for 1 Bombs (Anything)
12am-1am 2 for 1 Mixed Drinks
1am-2am 2 for 1 Hard Shots
2am-3am 2 for 1 Pick You Up off the Floors (no its not a shot, it means you will be so passed out it will require two people to drag you out!)

So. In summary. Come out tonight, like you used to, to Suite B. Party like you used to.

And no, this isn't one more last carnival, just a chance to keep things moving on.

Oh, and FYI, Kcoll has moved (virtually - that is)and joined forces with Myself and others around to continue to remind you of what it was you did that friday night. So, For more information, photo galleries and write-ups check out the new Smile for Camera.

Alanis Covers Fergie and amazing Fart filters

So Ironically enough (heh, thats a joke) This fell into my lap today. I love it, and I don't know why.


Similarly, I got this in an email.

Then, Via This Site
From the brilliant minds at Garment Guard comes our newest product, Subtle Butt. This pack of 5 saving graces effectively filters the odor caused by flatulence: Simply stick it in the right place and you’re ready for a chili cook-off. The “Subtle Butt” by Pond Inc is a fart neutralizer to eliminate smelly flatulence. The Subtle Butt neutralizer filters the flatulence as the wind breaks, absorbing and neutralizing its odor.

We eventually came up with a whole line of Fart eliminators to include the butt kazoo which makes cool sounds and disseminates a lovely odor when you pass gas. Don’t worry I won’t be sad if someone takes this idea and runs with it.

Black Kids, The Blog, and Tons of Painted Monkeys.


The Black Kids' story sounds it could be the plot of high school musical 18. Almost everyone knows who they are, and even those that don’t know the words to their hit song, but no one can really figure out how they got where they are so quickly, and almost effortlessly. Its a little reminiscent of Paris Hilton.

Black Kids have climbed the ranks of music’s food chain faster than anyone could ever have imagined. Primarily made up of a few big hitters and tons and tons of little guys, blogging about music has turned into an arena of file sharing, link listing and name dropping beyond what anyone could’ve ever expected. With the words “Black Kids” on everyone’s lips, with a million remixes to boot, the question that has arisen is whether or not Black Kids deserve the hype.

The short answer is yes. When Black Kids released their EPs, the Wizard of Ahhhs, as a digital download in 2007, there was a distinct need that needed to be met in the current indie scene. As Indie music became more saturated, Black Kids arose to meet a need in the scene. Here was a band whose music was incredibly mixable, whose songs could be changed over and over and over again, a band who able to break the barriers of Indie-land and launch a surprise attack on anyone listening. Blogs pick it up and help moving it along. A name like Black Kids only helps that even more.

Recently when band’s keyboardist Dawn Watley took a minute to talk to me, she was in London having just finished the Leeds Festival-Leeds and The Last Days of Summer, mid tour. The light at the end of the tunnel being that the Jacksonville band will soon be making their return to the States, and for the first time, will get to tour their home state of Florida.

Talking to one of the Black Kids, it becomes perfectly clear that Black Kids have an advantage that had helped them get to the top of European and dance music charts. The band members’ individuality, their tenacity and their serious dedication have led to their bands success. They are serious about their work, but they still play simply for the entertainment of it.

Now much of the buzz has quieted down, but the Black Kids are still touring, still chasing their goals. Every so often, a new remix of “I’m not gonna teach your boyfriend how to dance with you” pops up on the blogs. It has become clear that is very possible that the very blog hype that initially threatened to destroy them instead has helped launch them towards becoming what end up as the Beatles of a new generation. And if not, at least maybe the Monkees.

Black Kids have been writing new material while on the road. They hope to be back in the studio soon and plan to release a sophomore album in the summer of 2009. They perform in at the Social this Saturday, giving you a chance to judge for yourself.

Read the full interview up on Orlando Weekly.



Also, if youre the artsy type or just looking to feel incredibly posh, check out the Munny show at Uberbot. The last Munny Show boasted over 200 entries from amazing artists the world over, and there are sure to be lots of awesome entries this time around. For a taste of what you can expect, be sure to check out the gallery from the last show here (its at the bottom of the page).

Never Tickle a Sleeping Dragon, Starry Wizards, And the Great Melodic Escape


I know I've been absent, and trying to pass the time and make things okay by posting stories I've been forced to write for school, by posting stupid youtube videos my boss sends my way. Playtime has been taken away from me and It is slightly aggravating. There no excuse for it, I'm sorry (although the Youtube video was incredibly hilarious).

So today, I give you a real post, and to get things off to a good start, an Actual update of things going on in the wide world of melanie. Bullet Style

  • We ( a group of close, business minded friends and I) have started talks on getting something together so that a few of us don't have to dedicate our lives to making other peoples tons of money anymore.
  • Written way too much in the two weeks I've been in school, slacked off on my reading, so far so good
  • Had my interview with Dawn from Black Kids - look for that to be up on Don't Sleep Orlando soon. The feature will be published in the Orlando Weekly the week of September 14th (issue comes out wed, Sept 17) and should be available online (I think).
  • I Made the absolute most delicious Pasta Carbonara from scratch for dinner last night. Yums.
By the way, if you ever get to the point where you miss me way soo much you can't stand it and start to cry in bed while crying out my name, don't fret. You can always keep up with the things that I'm enjoying, sites I'm perusing and Images I love suddenly on my Tumblr.

The Return of Krames and The Do Nothing Day

With no work and nothing I can do without getting responses from people who refuse to respond to me, yesterday was an incredibly uneventful and boring day. I succeeded in not setting foot outside my apartment and instead sat with Katie and Kevin and accomplished the following:

  • Watched 6 episodes of scrubs - reruns of course
  • Watched The Birdcage
  • Watched Mystery Men
  • Ate Chicken Pot Pie, Omelet with bell peppers and turkey, tuna sandwich, blueberry and cream muffin
  • drank coffee and beer (not at the same time tho)
  • Updated my Website to include twitter feeds and Tumblr Feeds
  • Wrote more of my Feature
It was so intense it made me tired. And i went to bed at midnight. Today I wake up crampy, bloated, menstrual and bitchy. I was tired before getting out of bed.
Nevertheless tonight i will be out on the town for the third appearance of NY based Krames at (rumors have it the last) Carnival.
His last two appearances at Orlando's Wednesday night weekly were arguably two of the best nights for the ongoing event, and this third appearance is most likely going to fall right in with the rest.

Shake off the dust and come out to party with those irreverent carnies. Its bound to be one hell of a party

Mondays in O-town

(click for full size flyer)

Every Monday night, there is a group of die-hard, ready-for-the-party kind of kids that gather at backbooth for One of Orlando's longest running weeklies, CRUSH. Its surprising that in a town occupied primarily by transients and tourists, a party like crush would've managed to survive. But perhaps the best summation of its success comes from the man behind it all, Pauly Crush:
CRUSH is special. It's a Monday night in a city whose nightlife is as fickle as its weather. How has it lasted? Why are we still here? It's because of you. It's because the people that come to CRUSH love what we do and they guide us towards becoming better DJs, more informed musicians, and unintrusive marketers. It's because our friends and fans work as hard as we do to make sure every night goes off. It's because our party is not a business. It's a party.
Now, "1,040 Hours of Partying, 2,088 Tracks First Heard at Crush, and 208 Free Kegs Later,
(but still the same F*ckin President)" Crush celebrates its 4th anniversary, which is one hell of a feat.

So come out and celebrate with Pauly, Miss Fit, Justin Scott and E.Strange and all the regulars, the occasional visitors and the new faces, as they welcome the fifth year of the party's existence. Join us in pretending that It's Friday, drinking way too much for a Monday, and waking up on Tuesday feeling like hell. I'll be there, and here's a visual clue to help you find me:Doors open at 10pm but get on the Guest List and get in Free before 11. 18+ welcome. $3 After Midnight. Photos by Kcoll and Kapoow

Lonely Hearts, Clumsy Feet


I have always felt expendable. In friendships, relationships, business ventures I always seem to feel like Im just a place holder. Something to fill a blank until the right answer or person or opinion comes along.

Its one of those deep seeded character flaws that comes wrapped in a bunch of loveliness: jealousy, insecurity, anger, distrust. Its one of those things that you work at forever to never change.

I am always scared of ending up alone. Like my mother, whom I idolize.

But, I am loved, always by one person or another, although sometimes in silence. Given value to through the strengths of my friendships and reassuring words. But still I know ill one day be just me, without anything. and I wonder, one day when he or she or they think back, will my memory still be there?

"I'll see you again, here under the mountains, where it only rains by night, and the sky is so great and reaching, it's always inked with the past dawn or the coming dusk. The stars will be our blanket, but we won't need to sleep. There will be only you, me, and the dust, but really only you."

Music: So what if you kissed a girl

I originally wrote this as a post for my other blog, Fuckin Shit Sucks which uses "so what if" a jumping point for complaints. It made me laugh a lot so i decided to repost it here. I'm sick as hell of this song, and I dont really want to hear it ever again.

enjoy.



You know what, good for you Kate. I'm proud that, unlike peaches, you decided to flaunt your wild side by telling us all about the time you kissed a girl, and you liked it. It was really a very wise decision on your part. Especially considering how you look exactly like her. Not being a total bitch about how you love the pussy, even tho you love the cock was a smart move, I can assure you of that.

Still, If I had to choose between your buttery good-girl-turned-lesbo-tramp-on-a-saturday-night-from-drinking-too-much and peaches go-fuck-yourself attitude, the bitch would be tops on my list of black haired songbird girlies i'd wanna make out with.

And don't like, you didnt like it. What you liked is the attention you get from singing about it. The money you get from whoring out your remixes.
Unless you're actually Zoey Deschanel's alter ego, get off the radar.


If you are Zoey Deschanel's alter ego, then good job at being a total failure to your reputation.

Random: Awesoments, Hoffa and Tracks



There are these rare moments in my workday where there aren’t three million pending orders to be entered. The phone stops ringing, I clear my plate. These are the moments where I try to sneak in a bite to eat. These are the moments where I get to run amock through the internet and find amazing shit such as the Periodic Table of Awesoments. These are actually the very same elements that make up your dear dear writer. And I would know, because I’m me.



Via Dapperstache

and then sometimes I get lucky and I find design like this.
Check out that liquid table.



Today in history (or yesterday depending on your source), Jimmy Hoffa controversial convict-turned-labor leader, disappeared somewhere in Detroit. No one really know where he went, or what he did, but I like to think that he stumbled into a diner where he met a beautiful but overworked and underpaid waitress, with whom he fled the city with. They lived for years in a farmhouse, supplying the neighbors with fresh butter every month. Their love was epic.

Of course, this is me being crazy. And he probably got mugged, killed, and tossed into a lake. We honor his life or his death with corny music

Tom Lee - Ballad Of Jimmy Hoffa
Tim Wilson - Help Me Find Jimmy Hoffa


These guys, Plastilina Mosh, I really don’t know what to make of them. They are Mexican. They were formed in 1996. They have several albums out. They get nominated for awards. Me, I just like this song, and wanted to share it.

The kids over at La New Shit posted this little ditty yesterday. Kid Cudi puts down some nice vocals over some Ratatat's Tacobel Canon. Taken from Kudi's "A Kid Named Cudi" Mixtape, the song is a fine example of the vocalist's versatility and resourcefulness.

What to say about Phoenix Jukebox? One of the three million blogs I read said that he's trying to be Girl Talk. This made me laugh. But sadly, i laughed because said blog was right and yes, he's not quite there yet. However, According to Him, he doesn't suck. and that's true too. The music is still fun tho.

I want one. Buy me one.



I already love this song to begin with. And I already love little boots. I was, however, surprised at how pretty her voice is without all the synth effects.

I enjoy my drive home almost too much. Good music, surprisingly light traffic lately and the smell the Merita Bread factory gives off at around 545 is just divine. Getting home to sit in front of a computer screen, listen to modeselektor, vaccum and clean the dishes, watch some scrubs.

I got a sneak preview of this little treat of a video directed by young hardcore kid Alex Purifoy and Antwan Smith, whom earlier i mistook for Killer Mike, edited by an old ass white rapper turn film editor named Matthew Lynn, and it is a fun little number. My powers of bargaining with the powers that be got my greedy little hands on these little beauties, a special little sneak peak of the video dropping on Friday.

Random: More Google Humor, Daily MP3s



A while ago I made a post about all the strange little quirks that you could entertain yourself with on the vast array of Google site. Spending about 98% of my life in front of the computer, I have a lot of time to spend looking for more of these (often) useless treasure. I recently discovered even more Amazing Google secrets, similar to the ones I had listed in that older post.

  • GOOGLE MAPS - It’s been fixed now, but it used to be possible to ask Google Maps for directions from your house in Poughkeepsie (I just love the name of that city) to, say, the Vatican in Rome and be told that you would have to swim many thousands of miles across the Atlantic Ocean in order to get there. Google’s way of saying Americans need more exercise

  • FLIGHT SIMULATOR - Within the Folds of the Google Earth program is a flight simulator. Accessed by pressing Ctrl-Alt-A on the keyboard (or Command-Option-A for you Mac users), you’re given the chance to try your hand at piloting either a propeller-powered plane or an F16 jet. You’re also given a choice of starting from a number of famous airports. Controls are available, and they’re worth a gander. This is harder than it seems

  • iGOOGLE 3:14AM - That infamous little beast that usually swims in that dark lake in Loch Ness can be spotted just off the coast of Google at 3:14am. If you set your browser to the Beach iGoogle theme and wait, hopefully staying awake, little Nessie will surface from the sea for approximately 60 seconds. The rumor is that Google developers wanted to create a tribute to the mathematical quantity Pi or something (roughly equal to 3.14159 as in 3:14am). On other themes, you can spot the Aurora Borealis (Seasonal Scape), spot kitsune (mythical fox spirits common to Japanese folklore) appearing in the Tea House theme, or see an alien abduction all at 3:14am.


  • GOOGLE LANGUAGES - Love Cartoons? Ever wanted to momentarily pretend you were Elmer Fudd? Google gives you that chance with Google Elmer Fudd. Further possibilities include Pig Latin and even Klingon. Shouldve guessed that all those Saturday Mornings would’ve affected a few.

  • GOOGLE GULP - In 2005, Google decided that--instead of just making Google searches smarter--it would do its damndest to make the people conducting Google searches smarter as well. The solution--literally--was Google Gulp Beta, a drink formulated in four yummy flavors (Glutamate Grape, Sugar-Free Radical, Beta Carroty, and Sero-Tonic Water). The secret ingredient: a chemical compound designed to optimize the drinker's use of the Google search engine by rendering the individual more intelligent. For all you non-MENSA members, here's the bad news: It was another Google hoax. Oh, well--back to MSG and syrupy radicals...


  • GOOGLE EASTER EGG GAME - If you type in “google easter eggs” and hit the”I’m Feeling Lucky” button, you’re treated to a minigame in which you control a rabbit and have to catch eggs which then spell out the word “Google”.

  • GOOGLE ROMANCE - Since 2000, Google has honored Every April Fool's Day by preying on the gullible. In 2006, it went after lonely hearts with a Google Romance beta program, which purported to offer "users both a psychographic matchmaking service and all-expenses-paid dates for couples who agree to experience contextually relevant advertising throughout the course of their evening." Free foods for ads? I’m just wondering what they meant by ‘experience’

  • GMAIL PAPER - As part of a 2007 April Fool's Day joke, Google announced the debut of Gmail Paper, which would allow users to create a hard copy of their entire Gmail account. In a nod toward environmental consciousness, Google said that it would avoid cutting trees down to print people's Gmail archives, instead using paper composed of "96 percent post-consumer organic soybean sputum." Oh well.

  • GOOGLE GOTH AND LOCO - To find this hidden Google treasure, type 'Google Gothic' into the Google search field and--instead of hitting the Search button--select 'I'm feeling lucky.' You'll see Googoth, a specialized search engine that caters to "dark, gothic, industrial, and alternative topics." This search site is not related to Google. Another specialized site unrelated to Google is Google Loco, a parody of Google that's rife with bouncy characters and flashing colors. Tip: Try Google Loco in Internet Explorer for an even better, muy loco experience.

  • GOOGLE ESP SEARCH - Have you ever been too lazy to type in your Google search query? If so, consider Google MentalPlex search. This Google service figures out what you're looking for before you touch the keyboard, by analyzing the previous five sites you visited and factoring in your local air pressure, your astrological sign, and the "speed and vector of your mouse movements." Okay, you didn't have to conduct an imaginary search to figure this one out: Google MentalPlex was the April Fool's Day hoax for 2000.

  • GOOGLE STREET VIEWS - The Google employees that make our favorite cool Google services often go unrecognized. But that's not the case with Google Street Views. In a rare Google display of self-acclaim. the Google Street View team posed in the back of the company's Googleplex headquarters in Mountain View, California in--you guessed it--a Google Street View. Other Google Street View nifties, include the view of a drive by shooting (?!), and I’m sure more I haven’t found yet.

  • GOOGLE TiSP - Are you poor? Well then cheapskates rejoice. If you ever wished for no-cost broadband Internet access without having to steal it from your neighbor or discommode yourself in any way, Google's free (but advertising-supported) TiSP service is a dream come true. To get TiSP (short for Toilet Internet Service Provider), you first obtain a free self-install kit from Google. Next, you flush one end of the fiber-optic cable (included in kit) down the toilet and then wait for about an hour while the line is connected to the Internet via a "Plumbing Hardware Dispatcher (PHD)." Now hook up your Google wireless router and you're done. Yeah, it was a Google hoax.


  • GOOGLE TV - oh, GoogleTV. Simply follow the steps outlined by Infinite Solutions host Mark Erickson in this instructional video. The bad news: If you hope to gain on-demand streaming access to ABC, CBC, NBC, and Fox's primetime line-ups, you'll be sorely disappointed. Infinite Solutions is a parody of a tech show, and none of its mirthful tech "tutorials" really work.

  • Lastly, here’s a screen shot of that Teddy Bear Thing in Picasa (Ctrl-Shift-Y):


Love it.

On a completely unrealted note, I just found out my friend David will have his art featured on Burger King bags, cups, f on the package for their fries and onion ring holders. It goes without saying that the man is an amazing artist. His girlfriend, my life-long best friend, Tati told me this amazing news today. And I am just beyond proud of him. Good Job Dave!

Moving on, it’s the summer, and I’m working myself to the bone. I got a new desk for my little ol apartment, but I can’t get it in there without a truck and without first moving the giant snake/reptile enclosure that used to house my Burmese python out the door and down the uneven stairs to the dumpster.

It will happen. Just Give me time.

I write reviews, I write stories, I write about my daily occurences, I complain about everything. I have a few blogs throughout the world, but this one is my favorite, mostly because it's mine.

Words Of Wisdom

Both reading and writing are acts of supreme faith. They are both, in essence, a call to grace, a belief in the miraculous - that we might come to see through stories what we had not previously seen, that we might come to understand what had, before that moment, remained uncertain, undefined. The mask of fiction, of writing and reading stories, does not, in the end, disguise our faces but instead reveals who we really are. In the, stories acknowledge life's difficulty and sadness but insist that we go on anyway, that we always hold to our faith, to our belief in grace.

- John Gregory Brown
