BOTCH AND FOUR COOL PEOPLE DO: COACHELLA 2012

PHOTO FRIDAY

THE COACHELLA EDITION, PT. 2!

I promised y'all a part two, so here are pictures from Perla. They don't even do this festival justice, Coachella is the best festival I have ever been to.




Shoutout to Gambino girls, his dick was in the buildin!




































I wasn't angry, I swear.





If there is a heaven, it is definitely Coachella. Sure, it had a few people who were there "just to be there", but there were also some really amazing people who cared about music. That's what really mattered. So many amazing musicians and I'm so thankful I got to enjoy the experience. Shoutouts to the crew, shoutouts to Frank Ocean and Childish Gambino and Justice and Swedish House Mafia and M83 and Sbtrkt and Snoop and Dre and hologram Tupac and A$AP and pizza and wine and sunshine and tans AND EVERYTHING THAT COACHELLA BRINGS TO THE TABLE.

Love is love.

Xo,
Botch.

Picked these up for summer. Hope to have them all completed by the end of September. I don't know how I'm going to do it with the schedule I have but let's reach for the stars, people! I've started with "The Book of Tells: How to Read Other People", and so far, it's a real treat.

LRG PRESENTS: FOR THE RECORD, BEAT JUNKIES 20 YEAR ANNIVERSARY.

LRG Presents: For the Record, Beat Junkies 20YR anniversary

If there's one way to remember one of LA's most inspiring hip-hop DJ crews, it's by looking at the Beat Junkies. Twenty years of turntablism has never looked this good. LRG Clothing Company and the Beat Junkies have put together "For the Record", a short-form documentary that is sure to please hip hop enthusiasts and music lovers alike. Other DJ legends, including A-Trak and Jazzy Jeff, take to the documentary to speak on just how much the group has changed both the hip-hop world and culture.

Let the tour begin! Stops include the United States, Europe, and Asia with their first starting in Los Angeles on Saturday, June 30, 2012.



The documentary's online debut date has been set for July 2, 2012.

LRG is also pleased to be doing a limited edition capsule of Beat Junkie 20th Anniversary t-shirts and hats. They will be available for purchase the night of the tour launch as well as tour dates.

NIGHTMARES ON WAX

I remember the first Nightmares on Wax song I heard, it's called "Nights Interlude". As soon as I heard it, I was sold. I MEAN, ERRRRMMMM, HELLO! He samples the fucking Pharcyde! "Nightmares on Wax" is such a brilliant name. That's the exact feeling you get when you listen to this dude. It's almost creepy, but in such a way that you wish you could listen to it in your nightmares forever.

Electronic sounds and hip hop beats make up this man from the UK. What's not to love?! Yum. Eat it for breakfast.

This veteren b-boy takes hip hop and experiments with it. He loops, dubs, splices, chops, backtracks.. he basically takes hip hop, electro and treats them like chocolate and strawberries.. two things that are already good transformed into something even better.

Dj Ease (his dj name) released his latest in 2009.. but if you're just finding out who he is, his discography is a heavy belt, so go ahead, trip to the hop, and get in the know, or should I say, the now. Hehe. I'm hilarious.

Smooth out and cool out my bruvvahz, and listen to deez tracks.
The fuck was that about.



This one is my current favorite:

PUZZLES.

Today was a good day because I completed my first ever sodoku puzzle. Now, I am a big fan of cryptoquips. I do them every day, and if you ever wanna challenge me to one, I'll tear your ass the fuck up.. but sodoku! Well, it's not my forte. I'd always complete like half a row and be like "AHHH! Fuck this!". Well, I am proud to say ladies and germs, I have completed my first one ever, and am now pretty much un-stoppable. World domination is approaching much quicker than expected. (You will see how the they relate in due time)

MEOW.

WHEN THE NIGHT FALLS..

"BUT IT'S ALL ABOUT THE IMPRESSION YOU MADE ON THE FIRST TIME I MET YOU. IT STAYED WITH ME FOR DAYS, AND NOW I WANT THAT FEELING BACK, BUT I'M NOT SURE WHERE TO GET IT. DO YOU HAVE THE ANSWER TO THAT? .. AND YOU SAY IT'S ALL JUST FUN AND GAMES, BUT OVER THE PHONE IT'S NOT THE SAME, SO.. LET'S TRY TO CROSS PATHS."

- CHROMEO.

"PLEASE DON'T BLOG IT."

Nas, the don - 1. Lawrence - 0.

THIS IS NON-STOP BABY, YOU GOT ME GOIN' CRAZY..

You're heavier than I knew.. but I don't want no other, you're my cameo lover, only here for a moment or two. You stay inside that bubble with all of your trouble in your black hole. You turn from the skies, you dance with your demise, I'll be here when you come home.

I've got high hopes baby, but all you do is take me down to depths that I never knew. You've got two arms, baby, they're all tangled in ladies..

We've all gotta break down, let me come and break down there with you..

CONVERSATION I HEARD AT MY REGULAR COFFEE JOINT:

Isn't funny that I said, "regular coffee joint"? Not because of the term, well.. actually I guess, kind of, but more so because, HOLY SHIT GUYS! I never thought I'd have a "spot". Anyways.. this was the following conversation between the Barista and the customer in front of me:

Dude: "Who is this playing right now?!"
Barista: "It's the Chromatics."
Dude: "Yeah, I thought so, they're pretty much the only thing anyone should be listening to right now."
Barista: "I AGREE..!"

Whoa. Chill out. That's a bold statement.. and you agree?! Whole-heartedly? or..? I dunno about that.

RANDOM LIFE MOMENTS.

PHOTO FRIDAY

THE DAYS AND NIGHTS EDITION

TOO MUCH PARTY, NOT ENOUGH BOTCH.

For fuck's sakes. I haven't even slept yet, and there's five things I wanna do tonight. ALSO, everything "ends" at 4am. Which means everything ends at 6am. OH WOW. I'm already exhausted just thinking about it. Are we ready for some electronic, jazz, hip hop, punk and mo-town?! HELP. You guys can stop texting me about all the kick ass parties tonight now. I AM GOING TO AIM FOR ALL FIVE. Haha. Brace yourselves people, this weekend is going to be a wild one.

You blocked me on Facebook, AND NOW YOU'RE GOING TO DIE. Pew. Pew. (Laser sounds, get with it)

DRUGS.

"COTTON CANDY LACED IN GOLD. MY WORLD.. WHITE GIRL TEAM FULL OF BAD BITCHES.. MY TEAM ON THE SCENE, STAY CLEAN ON THESE OTHER BROTHERS.. IT'S TIME TO SHOW, WE RUN THIS SHIT, GOTTA LET THEM KNOW.."

- IGGY AZALEA.
