Houston’s Most Hated | Everything you hate. And, one thing you love. |
because the people in this city are so stuck up LA LA land’s ass, i think of this when i pull up next to them and stare. Most of the time, when I look over… whaddaya know THEY’RE TEXTING. I have nothing against it, but if you’re doing this on the road become a better driver first. Or you know who’s waiting for you on the other side!
I swear i leave for two minutes and all of you guys lose your shit !
Kids / Staff ! we’ve gotta pull it together !
are you all fucked up on paint and antidepressants that you can’t find an original idea to save your life ! ?
Please someone step out of the box! Maybe you guys need to change your neighborhoods. Maybe it’s the heat or Perhaps the Montrose and Midtown just aren’t working anymore. Plus that stupid curve on westheimer gets old, the one in the road right there where all the bars are, you know the one i’m talking about ? It host to much damage to vehicles and people everyday. Not to mention when you pull up into those bars your car gets fucking trashed from the inside out! You know ? I mean shit get a bike.. but even then you have to watch out for kids that run lights and smash into vespa’s with hot azn girls on the back…
Well anyways.
How the fuck are you Houston ?
I see since I’ve been gone I’ve missed some pretty “good shows” in the past months? I mean you had Major Lazer, Santigold! A-Trak, Treasure Fingers, Rye Rye and you guys just played host to one of the hottest music events to come through Houston. The Texas Heat Fest. With heavy hitters like Rjd2, local madman Bird Peterson, Drop the Lime, and the Rapture Dj’s. Houston has had some serious talent through lately. Well my question is WHY IS HOUSTON NOT SUPPORTING! ? Wait let me guess, The Economy right ?
Now we all know everyone, fuck everyone have fights with everyone and Houston has a pretty tight knit community of friends in the scene. The only problem is the “Scene” is getting a little stale. I mean how many times can you go to one bar and drink yourself to the floor? That shit gets old. Not to mention Houston Dj’s are loved, but really how many times must you book yourself at your own parties? There has to be a turning point. How could it be years ago we were involved with events that held over 4000 people at them EACH TIME! Some close to 10000 and over!? Now your lucky to get 1000.?
It’s fucking sad!
Lets bring it back together and Blow this shit up H Town!
or move out here to the west coast where they have 10,000 to 100,000 people every time.
USING THE SAME LINE UPS YOU GUYS HAVE IN YOUR TOWN!
Promoters:
I feel that you all promote to the same network 1000 times a month, to the same people in your 100+ facebook circles ! Yeah you might add 2 to 5 people a day and at that point you would have to “re post” your ad, but seriously guys. 1 time to your “Friends”. You know if someone is on your FACEBOOK i can guarantee that WE know about your event. We have seen it already and will be attending it. One thing i see in Cali is these kids at parties come from ALL over the place, it’s just not an LA crowd. These kids are driving in for hours to get to these events. Promoters promote outside the bubble and pull in major people to these events. Just ask motivation from back in the day. We were taking trips to Oklahoma Dallas St Louis i mean just to promote hand to hand fliers. Artit will tell ya. RIP.
You guys have to get out of this incestuous promotion, it’s sick. We GET IT!
Branch outside of the 610 loop.
Otherwise you’re always going to feel like shit when you’re not getting paid as a dj, club promoter, club owner. It’s just not a good look. Gets old quick.
speaking of looks .
well we aren’t even going to get into the looks.
I could go on for days.
and i guess that’s why i bailed out for that lack of scene. I mean the movement is there, but you all are just not pushing the right buttons.
perhaps the key pad buttons under my fingers are the right ones.
Anyways getting back onto what we originally Had in mind for this site.
Music ! and Booze! and Hating on Houston!
Since i just received net today I’m going to leave you guys with what i hope is inspiring music and video…
let the good times roll.
enjoi
First i can’t even get into all the Bay Area rap i’ve been exploring. And hearing a story from a SF resident the other night talking about how Brotha Lynch Hung was in Prison for actually eating his girlfriend! It’s crazy! a guy raps about it, and then does it ! The girl had fair warning.
Well Here’s some of that Bay Area i have to share. I just learned about Nikatina ! He’s killing it.
here’s andre

Speaking of mix.
Man i’ve been jocking this guy for a while now. He goes by the name of Love Fingers ! yeah i know we hear so much about Treasure Fingers, but this guy isn’t even close to that. Although i do think it would be amazing to have Treasure Fingers vs Love Fingers in the “Finger Teams” first event ever. It’s definitely for the older ear. So lay out on the bear skin rug and break out the boons farm… you can check him and his amazing blog out on lovefingers.org

but all that folk/rock/indie shit comes tomorrow.
I should go to bed now…
I love that dre is annoyed by the techno music
I couldn’t say if it was Antony Hegarty’s off-color voice or sodden tunes that pummeled my regurgitation muscles while everyone praised his triumphant debut I Am a Bird Now and this year’s The Crying Light, but in any event, I certainly didn’t expect him to anchor a triumphant bit of Brooklyn neo-disco. Nonetheless, from the first moments of “Time Will”—a boom-boom-snap backing Antony’s eerily sexy and upright command “Don’t lie to me” (a lyrical staple of both pop and disco)—you have to ask: Why didn’t anyone think of this sooner? His quavering acrobatics are a perfect fit for sensational dance music. It’s startling, the ease with which the unrepentant drama queen inhabits this relationship time-out, an unaffected sadness he might yet know. His voice—lonely and forlorn as it’s framed by room-temperature synthesizers buzzing unsympathetically—has finally found its true calling.
It’s a hell of an opening tack for Andy Butler, the DFA-certified DJ who dreamed up the glorious funkscapes on Hercules & Love Affair, the full-length, self-titled expansion of last year’s “Roar”/”Classique #2″ single. Now, we get not just disco divas but Moulin Rouge dioramas in Technicolor surround sound: “Hercules Theme” jams together Kool & the Gang horn lines, lascivious wah-funk, and overhead pinches of strings crashing into booming dollops of kick and snare. If the result doesn’t quite amount to Saturday Night Fever, it certainly turns up the heat: Try the way the agile bass parts jog around “Athene” and “Raise Me Up.”
The party holds strong into the second half, where the comedown always muddles the songwriting a little. Surprise: Antony’s dramatic ululations return to rescue the trawling sonics. Where once it was hard to decide whether he was the problem or merely his tastes, it’s now fun to see Hegarty dropping anchor when Butler’s ambitions get too cumbersome and his slow ones sound out of breath. And when these two guys meet each perfectly—as on the projected summer hit “Blind,” a mélange of Primal Scream’s “Swastika Eyes” and Blur’s “Girls and Boys”—they really do climb to the mythic heights of Hercules’ heroic namesake.
I suggest you all save up your pennies for this weekend!

American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009
AMERICAN RECOVERY AND REINVESTMENT ACT OF 2009
CONFERENCE REPORT – SENATE VOTE
Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate now
proceed to the conference report to accompany H.R. 1, the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Who yields time on the conference report?
The Senator from South Carolina.
Mr. GRAHAM. Mr. President, I ask that I be recognized for 7 minutes
and be informed when I have used 6 minutes.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator is recognized.
Mr. GRAHAM. Mr. President, this debate is coming to an end, and it
never really started. We are bringing a conclusion to a process that
will spend $1.1 trillion over the next 10 years, and there has never
been a thoughtful discussion between the parties to figure out how we
can get there from here…blahblahblah…
I yield the floor.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Nevada.
Mr. ENSIGN. Mr. President, I claim the 7 minutes that is part of the
unanimous consent agreement.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator is recognized.
Mr. ENSIGN. Mr. President, the scope of this legislation is enormous
and endangers our country’s future economic health.
Currently, the U.S. debt burden is huge, but it is going to rise to
54 percent of the economy in just the next 2 years. That is before we
take into account this omnibus spending bill that
is still to come before the Congress, another round of TARP, and
approximately $1 trillion that we have in the bill before us today.
When we add the Children’s Health Insurance Program that was passed,
TARP, a supplemental, the omnibus bill, we will add an additional $2
trillion to our national debt. That means higher taxes for our
children, our grandchildren, and actually just in a few years for
almost all Americans.
We have been borrowing against future generations. Keep in mind that
we have a $60 trillion debt out there in Social Security, Medicare,
Medicaid, and other entitlement programs. That money has to be paid
someday…
Mr. President, I yield the floor.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Tennessee.
Mr. ALEXANDER. Mr. President, may I be informed when 6 minutes of my
7 minutes has expired?
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Chair will notify the Senator.
Mr. ALEXANDER. I thank the Chair.
Mr. President, here is what we know of the so-called stimulus bill.
This bill will give American workers $8 a week in their paychecks in
exchange for passing along a $1 trillion debt to our grandchildren. The
entire New Deal, in today’s dollars, cost only half of what this bill
costs. We know that if we were to spend $1 million a day, every day
since Jesus Christ was born, we would still spend less money than the
cost of this bill.
THANK YOU OBAMA 
Sorry i just can’t hate it.
I mean i’d like to, but i can’t.
