june 25 2009 michael jackson and farrah fawcett died. had to abandon the interwebz when the news speculations killed twitter and random insults about mj moments after he had passed away killed my ability to deal with free speech. but now people are more respectful and positive things are circulating. paying homage to the pop king I'll be downloading mj albums I don't have later this evening...and have been listening to him off and on whilst coding away. lucas of the cliks wrote a nice mj blog: http://blogs.myspace.com/thecliks goodbye michael and I'm sorry the world was so crazy for you - who brought us so much great boogie music and inspirational dance moves. your talent and influence will obviously live on and I hope you're at peace.

The general consensus about last night's performance show (SYTYCD) is a bit disappointing. BUTT (:) There were a few shining moments thankfully and voting was much easier for me last night. First off props to Toni Basil for her lifetime achievement and trail blazing in the world of hip hop, popping and locking. I remember seeing The Lockers on the very first season of SNL (I've been watching them from the beginning) and discovering that the chick that sang the Mickey song was actually very important in the world of dance. 1. Jonathan & Karla butcher a Dave Scott smooth hip hop routine. Nigel said it best, you two didn't even have your head nods together... wtf?? It was sloppy, uninteresting and totally out of sync. I adore Dave Scott and he deserved to see a better version of his dance. 2. Vitolio and Auska take on a rock jazz Mandy Moore routine. I loved Auska's look and there were moments of excitement, but overall I didn't feel they were together enough,...

so I got to finally ask my question to Lucas from The Cliks about Animal Farm but unfortunately I couldn't hear Morgan or Jen so it sounds like I totally blew them off! But I had no idea who that was in the video anyway. :P I wanted to talk about the Perez Hilton situation too but because I was having so much trouble hearing I decided to just keep it brief. My call comes in about 15 minutes into the show.

Group Dance: “Higher Ground” by Stevie Wonder MIA - you are a GODDESS!!! This is all I really watch the results show for. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUQp_k3vOwY But as for the elimination results, I was sorry to see Ashley go because I really felt she was put in the bottom by Kupono, who should have left before Max. Max was doing great but I don't think he could have stayed in the competition much longer. Ade is BLOWING me away in Mia's choreography. I agree that he could be the one to beat.

So You Think You Can Dance performance show review from June 17, 2009 - Top 18 My most favorite routines (in order of my liking :) of course 1 & 2 I think are tied. 1. Melissa & Ade ~ Jazz by Sonya Tayeh: “24 Hours (the Ashton Shuffle A-Bomb Remix)” by Terry Poison First off, I LOVE Sonya and so far I continually love Melissa and Ade... both are brilliantly talented dancers that completely pulled off Sonya's wild ride. I mean did you see those extreme backbends? So crazy, so unique and still so controlled with great technique. I kept exclaiming "WOW are you kidding me!?" 2. Karla & Jonathan ~ Contemporary by Stacey Tookey: “Falling Slowly” by The Frames I was not too impressed with Jonathan and Karla last week, but this week I actually teared up during this routine. They danced it perfectly but ALSO brought personality and acting to the emotion of this dance's story. I don't really care if their personalities aren't that interesting - this sh...

"so many things i want to tell you, everything i want to share, just gets blogged or tweeted even though those folks don't care. everything that makes me laugh or break out into a smile, fills me with a need to see you even just a little while." totally corny right? was just a random thought I had a week ago when missing my man. I dunno my biggest flaw as a musician is my inability to connect melodies I write to genuinely good lyrics. There's definitely an art to writing for songs versus writing poetry or stories. I think it baffles me most because what I consider great lyrics are so painfully simple, yet NOT if you get my point. I've been trying to pay attention to songs that really move me and pay close attention to the lyrics. The Cliks album Dirty King is a great example (it's not officially released yet but I bought a copy at their concert). Lucas' lyrics are powerful, yet just vague enough that they can be interpreted many ways and therefore h...

well actually not too bad... I'm referring of course to So You Think You Can Dance. I enjoyed Paris' dancing but I agree with the judges that she really didn't "bring it" as much as she could have on her solo. As soon as Tony started dancing his solo I said, "bye bye Tony." It just wasn't impressive at all, considering the people that got cut before the top 20. I knew the group routine was Shane Sparks before Cat announced it... had that very distinctive Shane hard hitting alternating with soft, organic blowing effects (sort of hard to describe now that I think about it!) I've discovered more GREAT SYTYCD sources: Rickey.com and Let's Talk SYTYCD . Rickey will repost all the videos the day after... talk about instant gratification! I have a feeling that Asuka and Jonathan will be next to go, of course, it totally depends on how they evolve in next weeks' routines. Can't wait to watch more!

My wonderful boyfriend is educating me on the era of rock that I missed growing up... last night he wanted to see The New York Dolls (who I had never heard of) and opening for them was a group called The Cliks. 2 women and a transgender man (lead singer Lucas Silveira) made the best music I've heard in a long time! Don't get me wrong, the New York Dolls were HIGHLY entertaining... but Lucas's vocals in addition to his extreme skill on lead guitar just knocked my socks off! He has such range, unique perspective and has gone through so much to get where he is. You can feel the passion and emotion when he sings, and besides being a really talented singer, this group can ROCK OUT. The drummer was equally amazing throwing in fills and additional beats that could have easily been left out. The melodies take unexpected turns and alternate between sweet and sultry and just hard core. None of the songs are predictable and all have such a unique and tasty flavor, I just can...
