Welcome Back


Sorry about the lack of post on this site. Sometimes a man has to continue on with his life and neglect the interweb. With that said this summer has been one of the best ever and I'm thrilled to share it with all of my 24 followers but you'll have to wait til Monday. There will be new pics from sold out shows, skateboarding, music and a HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT along with rolling out a few new crews from the TAGsf camp so be on the look out for all of that biz.

Until then here is some music that has been tying me over as of late.


 see y'all soon.

Help Save West Wave



Head in the clouds
a new dance creation by TAGsf that is centered around organized chaos that moves in and out of structure and improv featuring live visuals from Cats are the new dogs and brand new music by David Molina. Anyone who has ever seen any TAGsf shows you know to expect high quality balls to the wall unique movement with an urban edge, inventive lighting and of course brilliant performers but unfortunately this new commission might not ever happen because the West Wave Dance Festival based out of San Francisco might not happen this year due to lack of funding.

West Wave showcases local choreographers and dance companies all across the bay and beyond to commission new works every summer with performances in venues such as Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, Z-Space and this year Zellerbach Hall in Berkeley. West Wave has featured artist such as Alex Ketley who had his work shown on So You Think That You Can Dance, Kara Davis who runs Project Agora and Maurya Kerr formerly of Alonzo Kings Lines Contemporary Ballet who now has her own company Tiny Pistol and is the 2011 winner of Hubbard Street 2's National Choreographic Competition. Last year five artist were nominated for an Isadora Duncan Dance award after they're run at West Wave (SFs version of the Bessies in NYC). This particular festival provides a great outlet for artist to show the work and audiences always look forward to all of the various programing. Last year West Wave was the hot ticket in the city with performances by members of Batsheva Dance and Zuhkov Dance Theater giving audiences a real treat by the caliber of excellence from its artist who are from and have performed all across the globe. Please help insure that West Wave is able to continue its 21st season by donating below.

new Pite






Crystal Pite director of Kidd Pivot and resident choreographer at Netherlands Dance Theater is part of new mixed rep company program called Traces along with other choreography by Marco Goecke and Jiri Kylian. Posted below is a behind the scenes video of Pite working with the dancers from NDT along with Marco Goecke's new work.

I almost feel bad because judging by the videos I am more interested in the work of Goecke because it looks very interesting and fresh. Not that Pites work is not but i do enjoy seeing young bloods.

Lana Del Ray at Amobea Music SF


So...........today I went to the Lana Del Ray show at Amobea music on Haight Street San Francisco and I can tell you first hand that this bitch is the real deal. She was onstage with a micophone and one pianist and killed it. All of her haters can eat a bowl of dicks because she's more talented than most artist out there today and here is why.

  • She has a subdued presence about her which captures the viewer. Fairy like(?)
  • Super hot in person
  • really hot in person
  • Humble
Check the videos below to see for yourself what the hell I'm talking about.


Lana if you need a choreographer or movement coach holla at your boy!

    The Real King of Limbs


    To no ones surprise, I'm a huge Radiohead (no shit). Last year was such an amazing year to appreciate they're music with the release of they're new studio album The King of Limbs along with four extra singles and the TKOL Remix album. Through all of the music madness with the band releasing new music throughout the entire year I found a new site called The King of Limbs part 2 which suggest in its title that there might be a second part of the album. TKOL2 quickly became a favorite site of mine with regular updates on the band and what they're up to along with fan made videos and art work pertaining to the music. A little community. I recently sent the web master Josh Kirkpatrick a list of questions about the site and its origins and he was kind enough to answer. Read the post below and enjoy.

    1. Why start the King of Limbs part 2?

    I started the TKOL2 blog after reading some of the initial rumors of there being a second part to The King Of Limbs. I kept finding all of these different things, but they were scattered between several sites and message boards and it was really hard to keep up with, so I brought all of the information to one place. I really never thought it would grow to the level that it did.


    2. How did you feel once TKOL2 started getting a lot of hits and even featured in RollingStone music magazine?

    I was really shocked to see it on Rolling Stone, that was really the first big site that mentioned the site. To see it mentioned on so many websites was really cool for me. I really didn't have any expectations for the site when I started it, so to be mentioned by sites like Rolling Stone and Pitchfork is something that I'm really proud of.


    3. For a website built around a conspiracy that TKOL would have a second album how hard was it to hear Ed O'Brien confirm there will be no TKOL2?

    When Ed O'Brien dispelled the Part 2 rumors it wasn't really a big deal to me. I think a lot of people were expecting me to be upset, though it wasn't that way at all. I literally received hundred's of emails and messages that day urging me to keep the site going, which was really touching for me. Even though the band didn't officially release a "Part 2", they did end up releasing 2 new singles with a total of 4 new songs, 8 remix singles, and a 2 disc compilation of remixes.


    4. What’s your favorite track off of the album?

    My favorite track from the album is still probably "Little By Little", maybe it's the guitar riff? That track has stood out to me since the first time I listened to the album.


    5. You have been very cool about posting Radiohead fan videos. Have you ever considered making any?

    I try to post as many unique videos as I can find. I don't have any plans to make any of my own, though I might try to film a few clips when I see them on tour next month.

    6. How has TKOL2 changed your life?
    Well, it's been quite an experience. I really didn't know anything about running a website when I first started, and I'm still learning. I'm always trying to learn new things and come up with ways to improve the site. For me the biggest thing is that so many people come to read it everyday, that really means a lot to me. And I've met so many people from all of the world that I probably wouldn't have met otherwise.
