I don't know how much longer I can keep going... Especially if this is just the beginning of the insanity.
Jokes, this is the life.
We drove on down to Havasu Saturday with no room or plan, and got caught up in the madness, Lil Jon's DJ set, ludicrous amounts of booze, and probably one of the most cracking parties I'd ever seen, they broke the bridge on the pool, thousands of people, it was ridiculous...
London Bridge Resort is amazing because they let us check in to our room for the next day at 4am... We gave them the "we just got off a flight from London and we need to sleep before we play your club" talk and BAM, suite was ready.
Joel arrived Sunday with a bottle of Sauza, and all I really remember is everyone sitting in the room dead silent listening to the whole Kid Cudi album in dead seriousness. The Man on the Moon-End of Days is AMAZING... I highly recommend buying (yes buying) when it drops, it's one of the best, if not THE best album I've heard for urban/rhythm music, as expected.
We did our show and deejayed and had the usual mess of fans/haters/stalkers. Ocean and I ended up on a boat with the asian Richard Gere and a lot of older beautiful people at 4am, I ended up swimming with strippers in pitch black and we had a generally religious time, and then I was on the damn phone with the east coast at 6am as the sun rose... We hit a (super) shady buffet and drove back a few hours later, and now it's Scottsdale.
We are going into full rotation on Power (we've been in mix show at 25 spins a week for the last 6) which is AMAZING, and tomorrow we meet with the program director of 101.5 to see if we can start getting some spins there too.
Thursday is Dirty Pretty, we'll be taking it back to the essence to promo for this one, dropping flyers at club letout etc etc. I think we're also filming a large chunk of the Camera video there with Giulio as well...
This Kid Cudi album.... It's really fantastic. I've never felt an artist speak to me so well, all I want to do is listen to this music... Common narrates the album, it's a dream sequence where Cudi falls asleep, goes through nightmares, comes out and then wakes up... So unreal, so amazing, string sections, orchestra hits, Ratatat and Kanye West production. This dude should win a Grammy off jump, this is the future of music.
