Pic of the Day!

FLASHBACK TOKYO YO YO!

I find myself reminiscing much about Tokyo these dayz oh ohHHhhh and DANCE MUSIC RECORD, the dopest record store I've ever flicked thru. Really hope it's still MAMMOTH like it was 2 yearz ago. Shintaro recognizing opolopo at the exact moment I turned on my cam made the experience even more enlightening. Be ready to drop your draw if ya haven't seen this vid yet!



Miz Fuze also thinks of her Nippon ladiez Pink Kong & Yukari. Puss.

can i get a chocoholicz anonymous?

I gotta DECLARE Switzerland is ooOOoOZING not only chocolate but CHUNKALICIOUS L.O.V.E!!! I dunno, it must be in em mountains, they remind me of home...sigh. When we flew into Geneva last Wednesday afternoon, they decided to SLAP me right in the FACE with a GRANDEOUS welcome like no other landscape!!!

Aside: Okey the Grand Canyon was more like a TECTONIC HUG OF EARTH! "Welcome, welcome, welcome, let me salute you with peace and majesty" - in a Wizard of Oz kinda voice NOT Santa Claus. ;-P

I might also be a little biased since my older bro and fam live there too. My nieces are supa dupa cute. 1 miniature Snow White and 1 cute Hawaiian Princess. They are growing and creating themselvez so fast! ;-D

I've been to Switzerland many a times before, but this visit vibrated and gyrated specially cos of Mr. Nann 'THE MAN WITH THE MASTER PLAN', Danielle, Boo, & Ngoc! Real feel good musical mightiez. Thanx again for your warm energy, ya know we can't wait to see you all again.

prelude to a gig...

HAPPY 40th BIRTHDAY SESAME STREET!!!

Today’s number is...40! This week New York City honored SESAME STREET by naming an actual street after the children's show. Go to 64th and Columbus in front of the Lincoln Center, shake a little big bird feather will ya?! ;-P Recorded circa 1972 in Frisco, here's the Pointer Sisters singing my fave pinball number count!

Linn

I trotted to Linn & Freddie's LP release last nite at Strand. I swear this Swedish lady gets my eyez welled up every DAMN time. So much unbridled passion and raw talent, even had her Daddy on baritone sax and her bro on backup vox. [Sorry no picz, I purposely didn't bring my cam so I'd enjoy the fleeting precious moments for once.]

I first heard Linn Segolson on her myspace playa 2 yearz ago, her ballad SURRENDER left me speechless and all shakey. haha It wasn't until this Summer that we'd finally meet at a bröllop after she sang a stripped down acoustic version of Janet's That's The Way Love Goes.

Hearing her intimately again last nite with blipboppin' Freddie Cruger aka Red Astaire was a SUPA treat. A melodious gifted songwriter, reminiscent of Patrice Rushen and Minnie Ripperton AND I don't say these words lightly.

Let's get ya moved shall we, listen to SURRENDER here!
CONGRATZ TO LINN & FREDDIE! WAITING FOR SPRING LP here!

"These bastards, they steal your synthesizers..."

Just watched SYNTH BRITTANIA tonite, supa interesting but not as funny as LOOK AROUND YOU! The series was a satire/homage of 1970s and early 1980s educational videos and schools programmes, with a different scientific subject being discussed in each episode, or "modules" as they are referred to in the series. So HILARRRIOUS!

THANKU MANNY!!! ;-D

deliberately. coincidently. seriously an UPDATE!

Dearest fello & fella vigilantes,

What can I tell ya, I've been tryin' to make the final tweaks on my DEBUT. Yeh I know it's 6 months behind schedule BUT that's a whole other can of squiggly gummy wormz.

I find as an artist I gotta live it, collect it, stir it, then poop it! ;-P

...I have this love/hate relationship with feeling I'm so interesting. I'm online therefore I am. I update therefore I am. I have nothing to do but remind ya I'm here THEREFORE I AM! Well what about when I'm not zappin' ya, helpin' fuel your attention defecit? Am I still that same entity you would want to connect with and tickle?

The krispiez will connect no doubt, but the flakez will steer clear away once I've instinctively sniffed em out in 20.54783625 seconds. It sucks having this power, ya know that attraction to REAL consistently down to earth folk...

Okey, okey enuf philosophizing, you gotta meet the 4 dudez who devoted their creative energy to the BLACKTOP RELEASE of mine.

Jason Hogans aka Brownstudy aka Medium Parnell aka MOOT ZOO via Berkley. His interpretation got me cruisin' convertibly down the Californian coast into Tijuana with a big Mexican donut in hand.




John Arnold aka John Arnold, best known for his collaborative FUNK with Ayro aka Jeremy Ellis via Detroit. His rub KICKS IT HARD!


The boy I alwayz talk about, Peter Major aka Fathead aka Opolopo via Stockholm, bringin' an electricuted back to the future flav. ;-D


Alas but not last, Rob Anhofer aka Aklimatize aka BLACKTOP via my home Vancouver. His free spirited swing tripz ya, oOOoh and that chorus takes me back to hot summers with sesame street on the box.


Ya know I'm all about 2009 being the year of the DIVINE EMPRESS, but I lied, that's gonna be 2010 with Eska, Lady Alma, Bembe, Linn and every other woman I know releasing their DEBUT!!! ;-D

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

This Halloween I wanna do it up diff and celebrate the courage and artfull mind of one woman. Here's to the most daring and intriguing lady of disguise VERUSCHKA. A pioneer in the art of bodypaint. She's done it all - jungle cat, snoop dog, door frame!!! Read more here.


Miz Fuze just had 3 little witches fly in. Halloween is on the rise here in Sweden. YAY! Gonna get some gummy brainz to handout. ;-D

I've been holding back on posting these, cos well, I'm such a SUPA model and I didn't want to melt all your icecreamz with my holy HOTNESS!!! Nahhh, it was an incredibly FUN day testing out some nu futurist designz on my atomic bodice. haha ;-P

Enjoy the slick candid shotz with SINISTER designer and galpal Hege Edvardsen in and around her studio in Stockholm. Last pic - CLASSIC!

Miz Fuze's secret happy recipe...

Grow your own little garden AND enjoy counting to 20! ;-P

REVERSED OUT ON DETROIT'S EXCHANGE BUREAU!

LISTEN AND SPANK IT LIKE YO' MUMMA HERE!

BLACKTOP — “REVERSED”

Vancouver-based Blacktop plays a pivotal role in the Exchange Bureau line-up of recording artists simply by bringing the funk. Otherwise known as Aklimatize, Blacktop’s space age, funk-fueled, bass-heavy dance tracks enlighten the audience to the wide range of flavors Exchange Bureau is serving up by connecting artists from around the globe and engaging them through the sweet decibels of Detroit music. On “Reversed,” with the help of Stockholm's oral-fixator-funk-monstress Amalia, Blacktop’s board work takes on a life of it’s own … recalling the blaxploitation soundtracks of the ‘70s while ripping a page out of Blackalicious’ World of Vibrations book. The set of remixes that follow only add to the equation. Sweden's Opolopo transports you via DeLorean to 1982 Disco Boogie bliss, Detroit-based John Arnold’s dirtier dub cut and the almost Latin-flavored “Moot Zoo Dub” uncover the sexual lyrics hidden within.

Miz Fuze will be droppin'-flippin'-blowin' for the vid to come.

Feature in Swiss Art Magazin MEX!

What better way to celebrate the day you exited your mumma's womb than to have yo' funny face splattered on a FULL page of an art mag out of beautiful Zurich Switzerland, with the likes of SA-RA and Georgia Anne Muldrow!!!

Picz of the Day!

Just read the coolest blog on BUDDHA SHAPED PEARZ!

Oh this is good, as in strange good. A Chinese farmer has been tinkering with modified pears since 2003, and this year he’s reportedly grown 10,000 edible Buddhas. The effect is achieved through growing pears in confining molds. These are just in time as the UK can once again celebrate wonky shaped fruit and vegetables thanks to the abolition of EU rules on the size and shape of 36 types of fruit and veg. Bring it oooooooooon! [Thanx Miss Cakehead!!!]

Miz Fuze sez don't be scared of the pumpkin with a human face!!!
