Street Style

I wish Dwayne Michael Carter Junior was my boy. I wish when I finished work I could meet him at the pub and talk bitches and money till the wee hours. I don’t think it would work though. What with me a middle class, Catholic school boy raised in the green pastures of South Australia and him raised in pre-Katrina flood New Orleans . Our world’s really couldn’t be much different. I’m going to try though. With a Lil Wayne tour rumoured for sometime in 2009 my chances may have increased… I’m probably way more likely to befriend MGMT while they are out here but to be honest, I’d rather not. Having said that I definitely would. In other news, my girl Catcall is currently making hew way around the East coast of the USA . She’s based in Williamsburg , Brooklyn for the CMJ Festival. I guess you could describe it as the SXSW of the East but it has more of a College Radio (huge in the US ) focus rather than an indie label focus… She’s there with Sleater Brockman who is her on stage DJ and manager. While he’s not DJing for / looking after Catcall he has been playing a few of his own gigs around New York . The lucky bastard is playing The Rub this coming Halloween weekend. For those that don’t know, The Rub is a party run by DJ Ayres, DJ Eleven and Cosmo Baker. If you don’t know who they are you should probably Google that shit. They rarely have international guest so needless to say, gig is kind of a big deal for Sleater. Lastly, there are 2 pretty amazing shows on this weekend, although unfortunately I am out of town ( Melbourne – vom!) for them. Both are on Saturday night… First of all, Rye Rye, the teenager from Baltimore who has worked with the likes of Diplo and Sinden and is now signed to Insterscope is playing at Oxford Art Factory. More importantly (I think) DFA records official in house DJ and all round top dude Tim Sweeney is playing at La Campana in the city. Needless to say shit will get deep into party town, wish I could be there… L
