August RAW Proton Mix
2nd month of RAW and I’m feeling good about the direction I’ve chosen for this show. The mixes got picked up by Alldj.org and a few other sites and I had some people around the world hit me up on myspace with compliments and comments. DJ Qualia is my guest this month and I’m very impressed with his set. He’s a talented DJ and producer and also makes a killer application for laptop (Serator, Torq, etc..) djs , http://www.mixshare.com/software.html. Its just like Mixed in Key but WAY better.
My mix goes from downtempo funk to some minimal, almost atmospheric, tech house and then into prog and techno. Check out Lance Cashion’s newest track on Proton Limited. Word is, Digweed has been dropping this in his sets lately.

Sept 13th - Lance Cashion, Jesse Brede and Toddy B @ Firehouse
Get ready for one hell of party. Lance returns to Austin and I guarantee this is gonna be one of the best nights of the year. Stay tuned for news on Lance’s Bday party on Halloween, Oct 31st.
Setp, 11th - DeadMau5 @ SKY
Looking forward to this show. DeadMau5 rocked SKY during AEF last year. Get your tickets early, I’m expecting it to sell out.
Austin named hardest-drinking city in US
Oh yeah, really, I’m not sure I buy that. There are way too many stoners and hippies running around to even think about booze. I’m amazed there isn’t a cloud of pot hovering over the city just from my personal friends. I guess since the City is only 1 million or 1.5 or so, the number of bars and college students could make numbers work.
But how exactly do you judge “hardest-drinking”, is that what you drink or how much or a hybrid of both? Is there a point system? I see people drinking beer and vodka mostly. I would think a town drinking Car Bombs and Tequila mostly would win the award. Let’s say you drink 15 beers in night, you would get 15 points and if you drank 3 car bombs in one night, you would also get 15 points meaning beers are worth 1 and insane retarded multi combo drinks are worth 5 with tequila coming in at 4 and a red bull and vodka coming in at 2. I guess I have a new system of how to keep track of how drunk I am. I’m not as think as you dumb I am……
Coachella timelapse videos
I like timelapse and I like Coachella, here’s both of them together for the world to see. Enjoy and get your tickets early. Every year is amazing.

What’s going on and my favorite TV shows
I’m taking a bit of time off from writing about music while I gear up for a hectic next few months. Stuff in the pipe for me is VIP and Press status at Lollapalooza. I just bought a Nikon D80 and will be taking photos of NIN, Rage Against The Machine, Radiohead, Chromeo, Brazilian Girls and as many other acts as I can squeeze in between trips to the bar at the VIP tent. After that is Steve Porter at SKY Lounge. This show promises to be on the order of Fortier. Steve hasn’t been to Austin ever or at least a very long time and from what I can tell, people are fired up to see him. Marcos Barrera is in town August 8th, don’t miss this, he is a very talented DJ and a hell of a guy. I’ve got a few gigs at Firehouse and then I’m off to Burning Man from August 26th until September 2nd road trip style with 4 good friends. I’m taking my parents RV all the way from Amarillo to NorthWest Nevada with stops planned for Vegas, Grand Canyon and Yosemite National Park. Expect a post or two with pictures from that trip for sure. The upcoming shows at SKY Lounge promise to leave everyone deaf and broke as a joke. I can’t divulge the line ups just yet but if you care, you’ll know about them for sure.
Quick list of my favorite TV shows:
- Dexter - Showtime - I’m waiting for the 2nd season to come out on DVD still. 3rd season is about to start.
- Weeds - Showtime -Amazing show that has the ability to switch between comeday and drama from episode to episode. Check out the special features on the DVDs for some great tips on growing your own weed.
- Lost -ABC - I was slow to get on this show but its like crack. Again, it best to watch this show on DVD. I’m way too impatient to wait for a new episode each week.
- Daily Show & Colbet Report - goes without saying
- NBA Finals, NCAA Football, and UFC - I do like sports and watching people get punched.
- Project Runway - My girlfriend watches the fuck out of this show and I’ve come to enjoy it. I know, kind of gay, but UFC and sports balances it out.
Shows I want to check out:
- Hereos
- Bones
- The Wire
- Californication
- The L Word
Marcos Barrera @ SKY Lounge - August 8th
Don’t miss this event. Marcos is an amazing DJ and is guaranteed to bring his unique sound to SKY Lounge. I had the pleasure to play with him when he brought me down to Chihauhau in Feb. 2008. He treated me like a superstar and I had a blast. Him and Jesus Parada came down for AEMF in March and we had a blast. Get ready for round 3. Support your locals and show up early.
