Crash Premonition Data Disaster Mix

It's been a trying week for Windows and me

Alice Cooper - Welcome To My Nightmare (live)



During the course of attempting to burn some routine and suggested "Backup Discs" for my lately unstable year and a half old HP laptop, I came upon a missing Hal.DLL layer error...

Armored Saint - Unstable

After spending a few days in DOS hell trying to poke around, recoup, learn and wonder...

Foo Fighters - Long Road To Ruin



The next thing ya know, and using the tips helpfully supplied by HP and the $30 recovery disc set they charged me for, I ended up destroying all my stored data.

So not only was I was unable to restore my operating system partition, but a good year and a half of data was lost...countless hours of whatnot.

Thom Yorke - The Eraser

I'd have a funeral for these bits and bytes... but fuck If I even know what the proper ritual should be...

I was feeling kinda sick to my stomach about this, but was grateful and took some solace that I at least had my 500 gig backup drive working...

Sure the ol bitty had lost most of it's installed software,personal files, settings etc

But at least we were up and booted, and given a few hours of tinkering things could be working eventually...

Compute - Brand New Start (hageus mix)

But on Thursday, while this agonizing process was happening, some clod hopper dusting the living room knocked my backup drive to the floor... and then I lost everything...

Thursday - The Other Side Of The Crash (demo)

the last thing I saw was an error message and I went to pick up the drive off the hardwood and it would only make a whirring buzzing sound...

There went everything...

All the remaining files I had managed to back up that weren't destroyed off the laptop were on that drive... and it was now dead...

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU****************************************KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!


There goes my ability to earn a living this summer...

and 40,000 song music collection, video files, personal photos, work projects etc

Oh Well...


The Honorary Title - Everything I Once Had


The Cowboy Junkies - A Common Disaster ( live 1996 Vancouver)

Soon - Everything's Ruined


Ladytron - Destroy Everything You Touch



Gwen Stefani crash instrumental



Vector Lovers - Crash Premonition



Skin Contact - Reset (System Crash Mix)

Guess I'll go get fucked up...

nice...

There aren't a whole lotta other options on my list...

It's just where... i've got an invite to a house party down south a few miles in Pacifica, and another to a punk show right here in the city...

I think I'm probably safer on my own turf, less commute issues...


See ya in da pit...


but I will say this before I go...


This kind of disaster/problem is not for the faint hearted...



Seems every 500 days or so ( sometimes less ) I lose everything and have to start over...

But two catastrophic data deletions in one day is a bit much...

I keep comparing & contrasting and buying windows machines and keep getting spanked...

I know the Apple faithful are chomping at the bit to say I told you so...

But I can't join their cult just yet, especially when I'm always a grand or so shy of their glory...

Windows toys always seem cheaper, and perhaps because Bill Gates was the only guy to send me a Christmas card one year...maybe i'm sentimental.

So I guess I'll keep plugging along...

or unplug this pesky beast and get my ass outside...

i'ts beer thirty-ish for sure

Underground Runway 3/3/07 Saturday Night Style

So in the interest of full disclosure... and just to let ya know...

This weekend is the debut of a fashion event I helped brainstorm called Underground Runway...

if yer in the Bay Area this Saturday night I encourage ya to check it out...

At our debut this Saturday, multiple local designers are to be featured in the premiere live event hosted by the fly Malika (of MTV's Making The Band ) to be held at 111 Minna Gallery in San Francisco on Saturday March 3rd 2007, with doors and VIP cocktail reception starting at 8:30 pm.





Designers To Be Featured:

* Mastahn Fanaka

-----------------------------------------------------------------

* RJ Designs / RJ Latina

-----------------------------------------------------------------

* RubyGirl / Ruby Dolls

-----------------------------------------------------------------


* Tavia Adinasi

Guests will be treated to hot and flashy runway presentations from each designer's latest sexy collections, and a lavish after party with music from top Bay Area DJ talents like DJ Undakut, Sake 1, and possibly even myself in da mix...

The goings on will be documented by numerous still photographers, as well as a camera crew run by award winning filmmaker Kevin Epps (Straight Outta Hunters Point, Rap Dreams) who will be showing the edited results via Adam Curry's global reaching Podshow Network. Listen for Kevin around 12 on The Bay Area's Pirate Cat Radio at 89.7 FM on the day of the show being interviewed by Ms. Lilycat. Event logistics, lighting, projections and whatnots will be provided by a crew including myself and Eddie Cantrell of EventMagic, who runs one of the Bay Area's top event coordination crews.

We're pulling this thing together in a quick & dirty high energy fashion on a shoe string, but will deliver ya a quality evening with many creative & talented folks working behind the scenes and of course, striving to put some serious beauty on display...

bring yer cameras... is it a coincidence that this foto friendly event will be sharing space as the Flickr anniversary party goes down?

There's a full bar and a full slate of stuff going down...



Maybe I'll see some of ya there...
