Backstage Pass Featuring The Justus League's Vandalyzm 4.18.09



On this Saturday night, it was pouring rain. As I drew closer in my car to Reggie's Backstage, the Fox Theatre was just letting out. Gobs of people were crossing the street after viewing the popular play "Rent". I'm waiting as they crossed, listening to my wiper blades go side to side across my front windshield as I'm listening to "Love Me Right" by Angel City. It's my amp music when I have to go out and shoot. The beat is so catchy as it covers Ready For the World's "Oh Sheila". I pull into a parking space just as a man is leaving so I was excited to have a close parking spot unlike the last time I had to shoot at this same venue. I run inside, flash my camera bag and rush to the restroom to check out my hair and to put together my camera.



As I came out the restroom, the nostalgic vibes of 90s music was bumping as DJ Reminisce spun the records. I began to have flashbacks to when times were all good and when music was music. There were a ton of lovely ladies delicately holding their glasses of wine in one hand and hugging friends and males with the other. The males were looking very debonair as they always do at Freetime events. I'm snapping away as more and more people enter the building despite the rain. I'm also prancing around the venue trying to keep up with the main man of the night, Vandalyzm. He's on the mic going around the room saying funny things and dancing and vibing with the crowd. This is one attribute I have always admired about Vandalyzm. I've known him many many years now and he has this natural charismatic leadership about him. I really hate I missed his most recent show, The Fallout. But I had plenty of friends who kept me abreast with mobile uploads, status messages and next day blogs. He is also very down to earth. I think I captured a few moments in which you will see what I mean. Despite the rain, I must say this was a very great turnout.






And if you want to know how Vandalyzm's album release party went last year, here it is! Don't sleep STL:

Which Lil Kim Do You Like The Best?



When I was growing up, Lil Kim was always that cool rapper chick that I admired in rap videos. She was bold, colorful and seemingly could get whatever she wanted out of life, especially with men. Ha!

Upon watching the movie Notorious, I really began to remember the drastic skin color change over the years and the change in the size of her nose. It was almost like a Michael "Jacksony" transition. I really don't understand why MJ or Kimberly Jones decided that they look better in a lighter skin complexion with a super tight nose. The world may never know....

Check out one of my favorite Lil Kim classics.

"Save A Prayer" - Duran Duran

I love the acoustic version of this song way better. You can search for the remastered version that aired on MTV in the 80s but hands down, this version makes it that much more sensual and really builds the song. 2:42 is my favorite part of the song.





You saw me standing by the wall,
Corner of a main street
And the lights are flashing on your window sill
All alone ain't much fun,
So you're looking for the thrill
And you know just what it takes and where to go

Don't say a prayer for me now,
Save it 'til the morning after
No, don't say a prayer for me now,
Save it 'til the morning after

Feel the breeze deep on the inside,
Look you down into your well
If you can, you'll see the world in all his fire
Take a chance
(Like all dreamers can't find another way)
You don't have to dream it all, just live a day

Don't say a prayer for me now,
Save it 'til the morning after
No, don't say a prayer for me now,
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after,
Save it till the morning after

Pretty looking road,
Try to hold the rising floods that fill my skin
Don't ask me why I'll keep my promise,
Melt the ice
And you wanted to dance so I asked you to dance
But fear is in your soul
Some people call it a one night stand
But we can call it paradise

Don't say a prayer for me now,
Save it 'til the morning after
No, don't say a prayer for me now,
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after

Save a prayer 'til the morning after

"Sign Your Name" - Terrence Trent D'Arby

This song is still a song that gives me the goosebumps. His voice is so beautiful and airy.... 2:22 is my favorite part of the song



Fortunately you have found
Someone who relies on you
We started out as friends
But the thought of you just caves me in
The symptoms are so deep
It is much too late to turn away
We started out as friends

Sign your name
Across my heart
I want you to be my baby
Sign your name
Across my heart
I want you to be my lady

Time I'm sure will bring
Disappointments in so many things
It seems to be the way
When your gambling cards on love you play
I'd rather be in Hell with you baby
Than in cool Heaven
It seems to be the way

Sign your name
Across my heart
I want you to be my baby
Sign your name
Across my heart
I want you to be my lady

Birds never look into the sun
Before the day is gone
But oh the light shines brighter
On a peaceful day
Stranger blue leave us alone
We don't want to deal with you
We'll shed our stains showering
In the room that makes the rain

All alone with you
Makes the butterflies in me arise
Slowly we make love
And the Earth rotates
To our dictates
Slowly we make love

Sign your name
Across my heart
I want you to be my baby
Sign your name
Across my heart
I want you to be my lady

Cruising

Have you ever gone driving and just watch how the clouds just drift gently across the sky? Ever looked so hard as to notice the earth in rotation? It's magnificent, the vast world of nature and how we are all just small pieces of the big picture....
