J. Chu got it going on..

Erykah Badu- My Life (J. Chu Cover)

So this awesome girl I know named Melissa who I studied abroad with in Beijing has a friend out in Austin, TX who is an amazing singer/songwriter. He's this asian boi with the voice of a strong black woman. His name is J. Chu and he does amazing covers of Erykah Badu, Feist, Joanna Newsom, Monica, and others.  He also has great original work as well (My favorites being "Giving Away" and "The Belly of Us").  

Check out his space and enjoy!

M.I.A. was sick!

M.I.A. is so hot. Seriously, I love the way she moves.   I already did a full review of the show from a musical aspect on District Underground, but now I just wanna talk about the show experience in general.  I went w/ my friend Thomas and some of his friends, and we were definitely curious as to what the crowd was going to be like.  I thought it would be pretty eclectic, and I thought right.

Well because we were there, obviously the gays were out for the show.  But the rest of the crowd consisted of hipsters, scenesters, hip hop folk, people who only had ever heard of "paper planes", lots of stoners.. so needless to say it was a fun crowd.  

We were all dancing the whole night and then headed back afterwards, met some new friends, wasted my Friday, and then got ready for KKG Semi and then  Pike Semi.  It was a whirlwind of a weekend, but fun and very drunk.

Good stuff.
