I won't go into any details as to why, but I do apologize that I have not kept this going as planned. I know you love the great content you've come to expect and I will do my best to bring it to you.<br /><br />However, football season is now upon us and I have some good stuff to share. So while you may be thinking about formations, tailbacks, and touchdowns, we here at Fox Tracks think that nothing says football season like...twins. That's right, loyal reader. Twins.

Sativa Blaze is...</span><br /><br />Sativa Blaze is one of the realest females that you will ever meet.<br /> <br /><span style="font-style:italic;">What would you say is your best feature?</span> <br /><br />My best feature I would say is my brain, and I am not talking about anything sexual (right now). My mind is the my best feature and that is the second thing I hear the most other than you are beautiful, I hear you are really intelligent.<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">What was your first modeling gig? Describe how you felt at that first gig.</span> <br /><br />My first modeling gig was a fashion show in Sacramento, CA and I was in a fashion show for crotchet swimsuits. I had never done a fashion show before and I was super nervous. Since I was working at <a href="http://www.barbizonmodeling.com/">Barbizon </a>I had my walk down pat. After talking myself through it I strutted down the "runway" and did my thing. It was so fun, it was also my first paid gig. I even showed my rap skills after the show.<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">You are working on two books. Without giving too much away, what are the books about?</span><br /><br />The two books that I am working on are urban fiction, both which have a positive message in both. One about 4 teens in their senior year of school, the other about 2 urban young adults in their walk into their Christianity. <br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">What is harder, writing a book or modeling?</span><br /><br />Modeling is harder. I am a natural writer and it comes easy. Modeling is harder because it takes much harder work and you are constantly trying to stay relevant in the game.<br /> <br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Describe a perfectly sexy day or evening (including what you would or wouldn't wear).</span><br /><br />A perfect sexy day would be waking up to the right guy (or girl) and spending the day eating, enjoying some wine, and going to museums or some type of arts event. I would keep it simple but sexy, my favorite cool out outfit are some dark denim skinny jeans, white tank top, and some banging shoes and accessories to complement my outfit. Oh did I forget shopping?<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">If you could only accomplish one more thing, what would it be?</span><br /><br />I am a career student who still hasn't gotten that piece of paper to go along with all my years in school, so I know that I need to finish that as soon as possible. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmrUJdg_KGtkjMBvJxL7heHhRelWLlxMR-5orikJ72Stu8oEERS87KSWgep_RIhNKvS5a0lkQbJGMBvOSTZsRN45IrBPHF7AkT5N6ucMBhmq-7ULpNU6BdHxKIZYQdDOLSw6FzxCILM7I/s1600/sativa_black.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmrUJdg_KGtkjMBvJxL7heHhRelWLlxMR-5orikJ72Stu8oEERS87KSWgep_RIhNKvS5a0lkQbJGMBvOSTZsRN45IrBPHF7AkT5N6ucMBhmq-7ULpNU6BdHxKIZYQdDOLSw6FzxCILM7I/s200/sativa_black.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506589798164856450" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjccWHbOtgzcJjv1ru6ptASVu_X-7StxsVy0OaLTfllBTvHaWInb4X2wkOpxRSZPLxYvy3fgzuevzBIh-16cMWQWqd3jBU4o7O4KqrOLsuTFz7WF-35v3Eu6DVelJccnlZBFYquP0Ed0mE/s1600/sativa_pink.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjccWHbOtgzcJjv1ru6ptASVu_X-7StxsVy0OaLTfllBTvHaWInb4X2wkOpxRSZPLxYvy3fgzuevzBIh-16cMWQWqd3jBU4o7O4KqrOLsuTFz7WF-35v3Eu6DVelJccnlZBFYquP0Ed0mE/s200/sativa_pink.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506589613282456658" /></a>Gone with the Schwindhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17168265765161313858noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7484261961782951594.post-71075747991506100822010-08-16T20:56:00.000-07:002010-08-16T21:17:36.190-07:00Can I get an amen? The Gospel According to the Barstool PreacherOnce again I turn my attention to the <a href="http://subculturecollective.com/">Subculture Collective</a> for a music feature. After discovering the <a href="http://modelsandmusic.blogspot.com/2010/07/check-out-lonestar-texabilly-radio-for.html">Lonestar Texabilly</a> show, I decided to explore some of the other shows in the collective. <a href="http://psychobillydeluxe.com/category/podcast/the-gospel-according-to-the-barstool-preacher/">The Gospel According to the Barstool Preacher</a> certainly is a name that catches my attention.<br /><br />I downloaded Episode 72 and the Barstool Preacher played a lot of good stuff: <a href="http://www.411mania.com/music/news/148953/Old-97//s-Announce-New-Album.htm">Old 97s</a>, <a href="http://www.memphisdailynews.com/editorial/Article.aspx?id=52104">Lucero</a>, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/cavecattsammy">Cave Catt Sammy</a>. He also dipped into plenty of classics like <a href="http://www.digtriad.com/news/watercooler/article.aspx?storyid=146704&catid=176">Buck Owens</a>, <a href="http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2010/07/21/merle-haggard-on-america-we-peaked-somewhere-around-1975/">Merle Haggard</a>, and <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/15/magazine/15lives-t.html">Hank Williams</a>. I didn't hear one song I didn't like. Plus, he played a lot of tunes that I have in my collection already.<br /><br />That being said, the Barstool Preacher took way too long in between songs, sometimes talking for seven or eight minutes between sets of songs. I know that part of the charm of podcasts is that they are not structured like commercial radio. However, people tune into podcasts more for the music than for the host. I don't say that to be rude or mean. I'm just being honest and making a fair assessment. Still, this podcast is worth checking out because the host plays so much good music.Gone with the Schwindhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17168265765161313858noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7484261961782951594.post-84697148682529165932010-08-12T04:44:00.000-07:002010-08-12T04:57:33.545-07:00Fox of the Week (8/11/10): Amber Proffitt<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzQrzgwhRVZinFXY8M4_yGm3t5PMH555FkaY841k2UAUMECl4wJ3DK-ZumvS2oWUsj2dJ-cbKnad9esAyXQqAQdbwV_-XQsbbGAVOoPGC9l6U0CqZ_0RwwFU-2qtHVAbZXpsGSWNCeNcA/s1600/amber_proffitt.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzQrzgwhRVZinFXY8M4_yGm3t5PMH555FkaY841k2UAUMECl4wJ3DK-ZumvS2oWUsj2dJ-cbKnad9esAyXQqAQdbwV_-XQsbbGAVOoPGC9l6U0CqZ_0RwwFU-2qtHVAbZXpsGSWNCeNcA/s400/amber_proffitt.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504490156949628626" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.modelmayhem.com/837897">Amber Proffitt</a> (36D-26-40) is a model from West Haven, Connecticut.

I truly appreciate all the models and musicians that have made this site possible and all the readers who keep coming back.<br /><br />The First Anniversary Fox is a tremendous model (just as all the Foxes of the Week are). <a href="http://www.blackplanet.com/BUTTERFLY138/">Debra McDonald</a> is a model from Opa-Locka, Florida. I think you'll agree that she is a tremendous way to celebrate a year of models and music. In fact, you know the normal format is a Q&A with the model and 3 photos. Well, for this week, I am going to break format slightly for two reasons. First, one year of Fox Tracks seems like a good reason to give you more photos. Second, this model's photos are so amazing, I couldn't pick only three. And so, without further ado, I present Debra McDonald.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-i2zJd1lzCiVepbF5wmyP_8UD09s6ttAoPVXfXpp0zysfbKQHdXk9mFFiS9DONoDfWNqOENLYC33aXsR66PPLmRxKqTyDFdvztT817-c4_OyHnLuorVa7GmDuuJJ4o3HJ9aKmKEQSclw/s1600/dmcdonald_necklace.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-i2zJd1lzCiVepbF5wmyP_8UD09s6ttAoPVXfXpp0zysfbKQHdXk9mFFiS9DONoDfWNqOENLYC33aXsR66PPLmRxKqTyDFdvztT817-c4_OyHnLuorVa7GmDuuJJ4o3HJ9aKmKEQSclw/s400/dmcdonald_necklace.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501408919657811074" /></a><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Complete the sentence. Debra McDonald is...</span> <br /><br />A walking piece of art that enjoys life: a very outgoing, energetic and an all around fun person to be around.<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">What was your first tattoo and what compelled you to get it?</span> <br /><br />My first tattoo was a panther on my back. I got it because every one else was getting the panthers and the paw prints. Yes it is covered up now because as I got older and more into art and tattooing I learned to be myself and always decide for me and what I want not on what another has or what the trend is. Hell, I could have been stuck with that mess on me for life---and it was ugly (laughs). But what can you expect when you are stealing ink out of the art room and have your home boy that can draw inking you with a needle, some alcohol and a straight pin. By the way...I got my ass beat when my mom found out! I was 14.<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">What is your favorite tattoo?</span> <br /><br />I don't have a "favorite" because everything on me represent some thing different and plays its special role on my body so <span style="font-style:italic;">i</span> guess it would be my entire body because all like one big picture.<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Describe a perfectly sexy day or evening, including what you would or wouldn't wear.</span> <br /><br />A perfectly sexy day: getting tattooed, having some drinks and ________ all night long because the tattooing sensation turns me on! But on a more PG-13 level...I would say that perfectly sexy evening would consist of wearing a spaghetti-strapped silk dress that falls just a little above my ankles with no panties (for no lines of course) and setting a canopy outside in the back yard with flickering candles and twinkling white light. Have a table set for two with champagne or red wine or take it further with some Patron margaritas. Have a specially prepared meal and dessert while listening to a customized playlist on the iPod.

Why?</span> <br /><br />To be completely honest, there are no models that I admire. I take my hat off to those that made it, stayed true to themselves and didn't sell their soul for a publication or a job, those that had to actually work and grind to be called and considered a model.<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">If you could only be featured in one more publication, which would you want it to be?</span> <br /><br />I have two - sorry - you know I couldn't just say one (laughs).<br /><a href="http://www.pep.ph/articles/22533/Cosmopolitan-showcases-the-best-in-beauty-at-2010-Cosmo-Beauty-Awards"><span style="font-style:italic;">Cosmopolitan </span></a>because it is largest-selling young women's magazine in the world and is famous for its upbeat style, focus on the young career woman and candid discussion of contemporary male/female relationships.

I won't spend too much time bemoaning that fact. I will only say that I haven't been getting much response from music artists. But the show must go on, right?<br /><br />I recently found a podcast (so much better than commercial radio) called <a href="http://psychobillydeluxe.com/2010/07/16/lonestar-texabilly-radio-6/">Lonestar Texabilly Radio</a>. I caught up with the podcast in episode 6, which begins with a cover of "La Isla Bonita" by <a href="http://www.myspace.com/happydrivers">Happy Drivers</a>. To be honest, I cannot stand Madonna, but this song was pretty good, enough to keep me listening. <br /><br />This podcast features hard-to-find rockabilly and psychobilly tunes. Episode 6 features songs from <a href="www.myspace.com/cavecattsammy">Cave Catt Sammy</a> ("Your Money Makes You Purty"), <a href="http://www.sickabilly.com">King Sickabilly</a>, <a href="http://www.hillbillymoon.com">Hillbilly Moon Explosion</a>, and others. Overall, the host plays a lot of worthwhile tunes that are bound to keep your toes tapping. In episode 6, he did talk a little more than he needed to, but I'm interested enough to check the next episode when it comes around.Gone with the Schwindhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17168265765161313858noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7484261961782951594.post-751018050328334232010-07-28T04:58:00.000-07:002010-07-28T05:37:13.261-07:00Fox of the Week (7/28/10): Chi Chi Bonita<a href="http://www.modelmayhem.com/570500">Chi Chi Bonita</a> is a model who was born in Germany and lives in Charlotte.

Why?)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Describe your idea of a sexy (day or) evening.</span><br /><br />My idea of a sexy evening would be started off by cooking dinner together with my significant other. Then we would sit at a candlelit table and just talk until our food was finished. Next, we watch a funny movie and just hold each other while finishing dessert. Then maybe we make some magic. (laughs)<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Describe how you felt at your first photo shoot.</span><br /><br />At my first photo shoot I was pretty scared because I didn’t know what to expect but once that camera started clicking I knew this was it. I found my niche and I just went with the flow letting everything come natural.<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">What is the most challenging thing about modeling?</span><br /><br />The most challenging thing about modeling is the prejudices you have to deal with. Everyone thinks that they know what type of female you are just because of the pictures you take. It’s very hard to make a name for yourself in this business so you have to make sure you are doing things to set yourself apart from the wannabes.<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Who are some models you admire? Why?</span><br /><br />I admire any and all models that are doing things right in the business. I feel like any woman who is modeling and still living by her morals and beliefs is a rarity nowadays so I salute them!<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">What is the one modeling gig you would not turn down?</span><br /><br /><a href="http://www.monstersandcritics.com/people/features/article_1573690.php/In-Pictures-2010-Summer-Solstice-at-the-Playboy-Mansion-to-Benefit-the-Rescue-Humanity-Foundation">Playboy</a>!<br /><br />Make sure you <a href="http://twitter.com/chichimuybonita">follow me on Twitter</a> and add me on Facebook!<br /><br />For bookings: forbiddenchi@gmail.com<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWdBATX1XR4Sb7K5X6TUiPVidRf3xDzC0mAQBxpBGlT0HiaqC4I7UBW-asgxlaJvopM9WnNjyzA8CQydT9m01ZUVOk3ktVfLSp6GK8Jz_vW1IoDoLcgyeHp9002CMzPuAhvClTiGe2NcA/s1600/chichi_coral2.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 132px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWdBATX1XR4Sb7K5X6TUiPVidRf3xDzC0mAQBxpBGlT0HiaqC4I7UBW-asgxlaJvopM9WnNjyzA8CQydT9m01ZUVOk3ktVfLSp6GK8Jz_vW1IoDoLcgyeHp9002CMzPuAhvClTiGe2NcA/s200/chichi_coral2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498926965999783490" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8IKoo9YOiuVLl_RLPugEAcElvcTYosdjT7jNDOzGq-vQAG_AGIj23fiQrcUcw1AmZ2-e57-5hI39ejngBrd9Dz0q1SEiwykwnOXXGoqzBexS1Uopcgea28QOnVSJC4zEKpJYdfLsWqHk/s1600/chigold.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 127px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8IKoo9YOiuVLl_RLPugEAcElvcTYosdjT7jNDOzGq-vQAG_AGIj23fiQrcUcw1AmZ2-e57-5hI39ejngBrd9Dz0q1SEiwykwnOXXGoqzBexS1Uopcgea28QOnVSJC4zEKpJYdfLsWqHk/s200/chigold.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498926836852540338" /></a>Gone with the Schwindhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17168265765161313858noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7484261961782951594.post-21937398585491300442010-07-20T20:45:00.000-07:002010-07-21T17:40:26.485-07:00Fox of the Week (7/21/10): Kaeo Black<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAyiwU3uJHNvJArKj2fe5Jf_JLcCVvZ5Xq0ToZ_79f7G2s4_s5LJCpnhY2BD288hRrm9-RZlw0A177FMeU_YBROHRBA5Mq5UFB07NT6kCAHbpY7ebcXcXsiAkT1qOzqSb02l0kSBKbosk/s1600/kaeo_stripes.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAyiwU3uJHNvJArKj2fe5Jf_JLcCVvZ5Xq0ToZ_79f7G2s4_s5LJCpnhY2BD288hRrm9-RZlw0A177FMeU_YBROHRBA5Mq5UFB07NT6kCAHbpY7ebcXcXsiAkT1qOzqSb02l0kSBKbosk/s320/kaeo_stripes.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5496203742375140354" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/tkoblack">Kaeo Black</a> is a model from LA (and yes, she is a knockout, isn't she?). She discusses her first photoshoot, cooking for her man, and a model she admires.<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Give us a quick course in Kaeo 101.</span><br /><br />My name is <a href="http://www.modelmayhem.com/1212091">Kaeo Black</a> (pronounced K.O...I know I'm a knock out right). My name actually means "The Victorious" in Thai. I'm a model looking to network, work with you, or be of some service. I'm a cool, down-to-earth chick and I like to chill and hang out. I love the <a href="http://bleacherreport.com/articles/422824-los-angeles-lakers-vs-miami-heat-which-team-is-better">Lakers</a>. I love to travel and I am hoping to be able to go backpacking around Europe one day soon. That would be amazing! Other than that I can chill and hang out with my friends and loved ones. Some of my hobbies include sewing(so everything can fit like a glove), cooking, hiking, and my new found love pole dancing. (Not that I want to be a stripper or anything but its really good cardio and it just upgrades your sexy). I just love being the center of attention where ever I go! I am a chemistry and womens studies major at <a href="http://www.smc.edu">Santa Monica College</a>, hoping to transfer fall 2011 to <a href="http://espn.go.com/blog/collegebasketballnation/post/_/id/13439/ucla-looks-to-get-freshman-smith-in-shape">UCLA</a>. I want to do research in the women's health field, probably on lupus or sickle cell. I am a very intelligent, well spoken model and I want to prove to the world that a model can have both brains and beauty.<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">You enjoy cooking. What would you cook (the entire meal) for your<br />significant other for an occasion like a birthday? What would you wear for<br />the occasion?</span><br /><br />I love to cook and bake just about anything! First off, the birthday dinner would be the favorite dish of my man at the time. But if I had to pick, I'd pick one of my favorite dishes. I always like to start off with a fresh salad before any meal. I love mixed green salad with Italian dressing. For dinner I'd make him shrimp penne pasta with a creamy basil pesto sauce, and garlic bread on a sourdough loaf. And I'd add a little fresh basil and chopped dried tomatoes on top for garnish. To drink, I'd probably choose a French Chardonnay or an Italian Pinot Grigio. For dessert I'd hand make him chocolate covered strawberries and feed them to him. As far as my wardrobe goes I would wear a wife beater and a pair of his boxers. I think if a woman can pull this look off and still be sexy she's a keeper! I don't always have to be in lingerie to keep my man's attention.<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Describe how you felt at your first photoshoot.</span><br /><br />My first photo shoot was a DISASTER! The photographer was such a pervert and made me feel so uncomfortable! He was growling and making sexual passes at me the entire time I was shooting. I think he thought he was making me feel sexy, but he was actually making me feel uncomfortable and nervous. I was so happy I brought a friend with me to the shoot though. After that I was done with modeling! Luckily about a month later a friend of mine shot with a photographer I'd been talking back and forth to on Myspace and told me how sweet and professional he was. So I decided to give it another try with him. I am so happy I did because I haven't stopped since!<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Who are some models you admire? Why?</span><br /><br />I really admire <a href="http://www.iluvsuelyn.com">Suelyn Medeiros</a>. She's extremely beautiful and she seems really sweet even though I don't know her personally. None of her posts on twitter are ever bitchy or negative and I love that! I am a very positive and humble person and I feel like she has that same attitude. I hate a woman that thinks shes the baddest chick in the world because there is always a woman in the world that's prettier. I know we should all be confident but there is a way to show your confidence without being arrogant and cocky.

Gaining knowledge and meeting people is more important to me than the actual job itself, because in this industry sometimes you can get farther solely on who you know. <br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">If you could only accomplish one more thing, what would it be?</span><br /><br />If I would accomplish just 1 more thing, it would be to be in a fashion add on a billboard on Sunset. My ultimate modeling goal is to be on a billboard and I would love for it to be where everyone can see it, so why not have it on Sunset Blvd!<br /><br /><a href="http://twitter.com/tkoblack">Follow Kaeo</a> on Twitter.<br /><br />Kaeo appears courtesy of <a href="https://twitter.com/PINKENTERPRISE">Pink Enterprise</a>.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlaFg6Pvc8orO0u1TX08JhpPCvnShdt1gPeCKZ7cBWx23kS5Q26UoZRW5jE9GLi4O1SvocYHQsfGtkSZ5vHQpaIq9ckqmeh1gILzw85vtImHMdI3HAnHfxm4DqGmjmMbXJWaIF61Iun6o/s1600/kaeo_pink.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlaFg6Pvc8orO0u1TX08JhpPCvnShdt1gPeCKZ7cBWx23kS5Q26UoZRW5jE9GLi4O1SvocYHQsfGtkSZ5vHQpaIq9ckqmeh1gILzw85vtImHMdI3HAnHfxm4DqGmjmMbXJWaIF61Iun6o/s200/kaeo_pink.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5496203454430834578" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBk5sqgle3wuThCasgMEbkFHMv5GJ61BSvFRHxJtpFO8eUK0hgWMHfJMLF5atPd22gLmlbXUa7jKbNKA_bYcHV2jlFbfMjUtIsdVeiVFalLxz21UmWKvf4tIJGRdW5bE8Y_5Sps_ZLGzE/s1600/kaeo_bw.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBk5sqgle3wuThCasgMEbkFHMv5GJ61BSvFRHxJtpFO8eUK0hgWMHfJMLF5atPd22gLmlbXUa7jKbNKA_bYcHV2jlFbfMjUtIsdVeiVFalLxz21UmWKvf4tIJGRdW5bE8Y_5Sps_ZLGzE/s200/kaeo_bw.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5496203307569427218" /></a>Gone with the Schwindhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17168265765161313858noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7484261961782951594.post-33596309461292704362010-07-13T21:42:00.001-07:002010-07-22T20:26:09.696-07:00Fox of the Week (7/14/10): Lady Chanel 954<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0Cs6HEecyJ6ZqsRj1PDjpkmAHh699nPzev-luFZr4HT9EIvZAZZ2sxtkF9XtDYeeMvvlYZd2meUThMI0CSjpBZCm4SnjxubSFo296g_4x0tQbxwSxspaX8KwafPhz2eBV6AI7wKlXmRg/s1600/chanel_white_black.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0Cs6HEecyJ6ZqsRj1PDjpkmAHh699nPzev-luFZr4HT9EIvZAZZ2sxtkF9XtDYeeMvvlYZd2meUThMI0CSjpBZCm4SnjxubSFo296g_4x0tQbxwSxspaX8KwafPhz2eBV6AI7wKlXmRg/s320/chanel_white_black.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5493619683413345426" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Give us a brief course in Lady Chanel 101.</span><br /><br /><li>The cover of <a href="http://www.myspace.com/stackedmagazine">Stacked Magazine</a> next issue <li>Cover of <a href="http://www.myspace.com/masondentertainment">Suga Pop Magazine</a> (out of Montgamery, Alabama) <li>feature in Zoe Images upcoming magazine <li><a href="http://www.myspace.com/youngduce305">Young Duce</a> (new artist signed to <a href="http://www.slipnsliderecords.net/">Slip and Slide Records</a>) Mixtape Album Cover and music video “Late Night Shone” <li>The Official Model for <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Unique-Skinny/127132989115">Unique Skinny</a> (upcoming artist out of Hollywood, Florida) <li>Host for LIFE TV <li>feature on <a href="http://www.blackmenpub.com/">BlackMen Magazine</a> Website <li>2page spread in The Heat Magazine and <a href="http://www.tipdrill-mag.com/welcome.html">Tipdrill Magazine</a> <li>Legacy of COA Babbi "Wign" video and much much more just <span style="font-weight:bold;">Google me</span>!<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">What would you say is your best feature?</span> <br /><br />I would have to say my mind.

She was referred to us by Fox Tracks favorite Kitty Kennedy. You're in for a treat this week, dear reader.<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Give us a quick course in <a href="http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewPicture&friendID=400920061&albumId=1473173">Caramel Coated Chrissy</a> 101.</span><br /><br />I’m a 29 year old full-time mother & part-time model originally from New Orleans. I began modeling only about a year ago when my best friend & now manager <a href="http://modelsandmusic.blogspot.com/2010/02/fox-of-week-21710-kitty-kennedy-creole.html">Kitty Kennedy</a> got me started in the business. I’ve been published quite a few times since then and have plenty of features that I’m presently waiting on being being released.<br /> <br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Describe how you felt during your first photoshoot.</span><br /><br />My first photoshoot was a scary, but fun experience for me. I was really nervous in the beginning, but both Kitty & the photographer <a href="http://twitter.com/DAREALSAFADO">Ralph Lenard</a> made me very comfortable. Ralph is a great photographer to work with and he made me feel sexy, which calmed me down and brought out something in me I didn’t know I even had. I know that sounds crazy!<br /> <br /><span style="font-style:italic;">What do you find most challenging about modeling? What do you find most rewarding?</span><br /><br />In the beginning the most challenging thing for me was how to control my facial expressions. Even after all of this time, I’m still working on that. I sometimes struggle with the things I’m dealing with in life while shooting, and I’ve learned that’s a big no-no! Everything you feel shows on your face, so I try to leave the outside world on the outside so that I can focus on being a beautiful fantasy in someone else’s eyes. The most rewarding thing is seeing myself published. I love that!<br /> <br /><span style="font-style:italic;">What is the one modeling gig you would never turn down?</span><br /><br />Either to shoot with someone in the business that I admire, or to have to travel to a place I’ve never been to do a shoot.<br /> <br /><span style="font-style:italic;">If you could only accomplish one more thing, what would it be?</span><br /><br />I’d like to be on the cover of a major publication, not just featured on the inside.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsnxRo_foCvvvtfV7k7oi6KmUwYeLE0ttQzlzzz3fiW_anZ0rbdQFQUk1GSmX4fzgXF9Ff4AOVYedOYaxivJ-PyZCXPE0w9Jgfhnf3Ejcxo1QDpnbsHmsPaCZY2sWEzseT5ZNlb6Gun7Q/s1600/Caramel_Coated_Chrissy.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsnxRo_foCvvvtfV7k7oi6KmUwYeLE0ttQzlzzz3fiW_anZ0rbdQFQUk1GSmX4fzgXF9Ff4AOVYedOYaxivJ-PyZCXPE0w9Jgfhnf3Ejcxo1QDpnbsHmsPaCZY2sWEzseT5ZNlb6Gun7Q/s200/Caramel_Coated_Chrissy.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5491377321911363778" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkdInkKXFNJIkF0UF2wmyYsw55VSr1xIhcaezoY3NODQlEEOgUvnOxz2ZB-ixLryZozVzuea2JpNVKXvU-t9dz09K1-9l49nd7zgCNGW_TwJLsPRSX7FcPgq0qH7LIW5AASAGioZ5vfnM/s1600/Chrissy+(Tip+Drill+3)+2.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 116px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkdInkKXFNJIkF0UF2wmyYsw55VSr1xIhcaezoY3NODQlEEOgUvnOxz2ZB-ixLryZozVzuea2JpNVKXvU-t9dz09K1-9l49nd7zgCNGW_TwJLsPRSX7FcPgq0qH7LIW5AASAGioZ5vfnM/s200/Chrissy+(Tip+Drill+3)+2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5491377209904724450" /></a>Gone with the Schwindhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17168265765161313858noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7484261961782951594.post-49697380437333394852010-07-04T11:44:00.000-07:002010-07-04T11:56:46.827-07:00Naked and Shameless = Drunkabilly<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCLlXQ-kgrl5ek2DcRcXFqHU9_mQdAgpoOkTWJZymKkRr12MNtdf9AqlpRdZeUoQIQ7H9L4mLwJOlB3ojbXM7WIQAU8VfhQmBxkg5a_6z1D5JWVwGd7OBxQk_MSTPoo49yrrjcoaKUhT8/s1600/naked_shameless.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCLlXQ-kgrl5ek2DcRcXFqHU9_mQdAgpoOkTWJZymKkRr12MNtdf9AqlpRdZeUoQIQ7H9L4mLwJOlB3ojbXM7WIQAU8VfhQmBxkg5a_6z1D5JWVwGd7OBxQk_MSTPoo49yrrjcoaKUhT8/s320/naked_shameless.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490126219008532610" /></a><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Complete the sentence.

Psychostick is...</span> <br /><br />Pure concentrated Humorcore.<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">What is essential to every Psychostick song? What about every Psychostick show?</span><br /><br />The Psychostick song formula goes like this: Song idea + laughter + more ideas + procrastination = GOLD. Well, maybe aluminum. Something like that. As for our shows, we strive to keep things flowing with intensity and humor. This sort of combination I find rare in live shows, and while we're not exactly pioneers in this regard, we hope to bring it up to the next level.<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Describe your experience touring with <a href="http://www.nashvillepussy.com">Nashville Pussy</a>.</span><br /><br />Our touring experiences with Nashville Pussy was enlightening.

There's a ton of great metal artists that I'd like to work with, but I've been listening to Weird Al for a long time and he's such an inspirational guy. Maybe someday!<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Is the song "Girl Directions" inspired by a true story?</span><br /><br />It's based on a plethora of true stories. I first ask for an address. Then they'll usually start giving directions before I get an address. Afterwards I'll ask, "Can I have the address <span style="font-style:italic;">just in case</span> I screw up your directions?" Works every time.<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">What would you be doing if you weren't making music?</span><br /><br />I'd either be building websites or designing video games. I'm probably going to strive for video game design once we decide touring makes us want to vomit all over our feet.<br /><br /><object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/U5_HhqcbF_0&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/U5_HhqcbF_0&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>Gone with the Schwindhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17168265765161313858noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7484261961782951594.post-34836489278388124822010-06-15T21:19:00.000-07:002010-06-16T04:42:19.400-07:00Fox of the Week (6/16/10): Jessica MarieNote: Unfortunately, I did not receive any photos of Jessica Marie. Check the links for her pictures. They are definitely worth the time.<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Give us a quick course in <a href="http://www.modelmayhem.com/1383075">Jessica Marie</a> 101.</span><br /> <br />I am Mexican-American, born and raised in Naples, Florida. I am pretty new to the modeling industry but so far I absolutely love it! I hope to get published in magazines soon and be able to inspire someone that is also in this industry. Even though I have a passion for modeling, I am a nurse and plan to gets my Masters degree to become a Physician’s Assistant. I am very persistent, funny and always looking for ways to push me one step further to pursuing my goals.<br /> <br /><span style="font-style:italic;">What has been your favorite modeling job so far?</span><br /> <br />I have been in a few fashion shows and I would have to say being in front of people and walking down the runway is a great feeling.<br /> <br /><span style="font-style:italic;">In what artist's video would you most like to appear? Why?</span><br /> <br />I am a big fan of Hip-hop and R & B, so it would kind of hard to choose a few. I would love to be featured in a video with <a href="http://www.rap-up.com/2010/06/14/rap-up-tv-ne-yo-speaks-on-paris-hilton-rick-ross-michael-jackson/">Ne-Yo</a>, his videos always seem to get my attention and I feel that I would be a good match in one of his videos (hint hint, Ne-Yo).<br /> <br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Who are some models you admire? Why?</span><br /> <br />In my opinion I couldn’t narrow it down to admire just one model or even have a favorite. To me all models inspire each other in their hard work and dedication; we all have something unique about us in every way. There are so many types of models and and all have to put in that extra credit to get where we want to be in their career.<br /> <br /><span style="font-style:italic;">What is the most rewarding aspect of modeling?</span><br /> <br />One of the most rewarding aspects would have to be people looking up to you not only as just a model but as an individual person and someone that you could possibly be a role model to and set a good positive example for others.<br /> <br /><span style="font-style:italic;">If you could only accomplish one more thing, what would it be?</span><br /> <br />One thing about me is I love to help others and If could make a difference in someone else’s life than that would mean the world to me. So by opening a charity of some sort that would benefits all types of individuals to help them get a good education, job, counseling to help them get through everyday life. This is something that I hold close to my heart so by giving a piece of me to do good in others is a big accomplishment.<br /><br /><a href="http://twitter.com/jessica_marie25">Follow Jessica Marie</a> on Twitter.Gone with the Schwindhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17168265765161313858noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7484261961782951594.post-25521615508365638372010-06-13T14:23:00.000-07:002010-06-13T14:37:10.994-07:00Mistah Maj: my motivation is music 100%<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEOO_WbFWGk93U1B1hbKliIF_QKDKhtXMBeisVa5dRcQjDFIwvYHnjpsPIal34u2FYkznaHi1WNt_9O8uv8C3N6m3pw92C8sgsc1xEtrUEuImkAB581tMmxczCk6xeSmQndIPiaTogj-4/s1600/mistah_maj.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 295px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEOO_WbFWGk93U1B1hbKliIF_QKDKhtXMBeisVa5dRcQjDFIwvYHnjpsPIal34u2FYkznaHi1WNt_9O8uv8C3N6m3pw92C8sgsc1xEtrUEuImkAB581tMmxczCk6xeSmQndIPiaTogj-4/s320/mistah_maj.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482375247886279602" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/wrecklessmuzik">Mistah Maj</a> is a hip-hop artist from the Bronx.

However, you don't need me to tell you this four-piece band is from Denver. And frankly, the band members give a much better description of the band than your humble narrator ever could. Ladies and gentlemen, Denver City Saltlicks.<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Complete the sentence. Denver City Saltlicks is...</span> <br /><br />A four-piece band that takes the flavours of yesteryear, electrifies them, shows them a skin mag centerfold and then tells them to melt faces or else they’re getting salt rubbed in yer wound motherfucker!<br /> <br /><span style="font-style:italic;">What is essential to every DCS show?</span><br /><br />Electricity, sweat, spoons, twang, cheers, booze, dancing, aggressive dancing, Cate Hate’s bloody splinter filled knuckles, ‘Bama Slim’s Don’t give a Fuck outfits, an electric ukulele, Bullseye's striking good looks, George’s devastating upright bass grooves, booze, an A-Hole attitude, family, friends, drunkards, some guy who hates us, some chick who loves us, flash bulbs, booze, and an olde yellow gas can with Denver City Saltlicks painted on it and the taste of a dirty water hot dog with NO relish.<br /> <br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Describe how your sound is familiar, yet something people have never heard.</span> <br /><br />Well, all of DCS songs are rooted in Olde Tyme traditional sounds. Be it Bluegrass, Spirituals, Doo-Wop, Classic R & B, Honky Tonk, Surf, Blues and Country. We try to keep to the heart of the band and its focus...classic sounds, but it becomes something new when you factor in that you have a brother/sister vocal duo, electrified ukulele, a home-made Didley Bow, punk’d out washboard, a Rock style drum kit, Upright Bass and a Punk Rock aggression, attitude and treatment. We hope people walk away feeling like they think they knew what was going on but will have to hear it again to really get it. <br /> <br /><span style="font-style:italic;">If you could write and record a song with one artist, who would you choose? Why?</span> <br /><br />‘Bama Slim: <a href="http://www.sweetsunnysouth.com">Sweet Sunny South</a> from Paonia, Colorado. This traditional olde tyme Bluegrass band was one of my 1st inspirations to create a sound like ours. Of course they’d have to “amp up,” but their energy, songwriting and style is somewhere I could be and rawk. <br /><br />Cate: Well, I would love to record with some of my musical idols, but it might be too risky. I mean, I don't want my idea that <a href="http://www.crawdaddy.com/index.php/2010/05/19/album-review-bad-religion-30-years-live/">Greg Graffin</a> is the coolest mother fucker in the world and I sit down with him and he might be a total asshole. I'd be crushed. We just finished recording our first album and I am still high on that because we had so much fun doing it. So, I would have to say the great cats in our band. I can't wait to get back in with them.<br /><br />Bullseye Dray: It would have to be <a href="http://www.hattiesburgamerican.com/article/20100603/NEWS01/6030341">Johnny Cash</a>. Just hearing the First American Recordings when they did that recording in someone's living room, sounds like a lot of fun. It was just brilliant.

It seems that if you are in a band there are 100 people who want to take every penny from you and give you nothing in return. They say how much they love your band and this great opportunity coming your way, but they are really just scam artists. TIP! If you're in a band, and someone says they like you and they want you apart of ________, but you need to pay money. It's a scam, don't do it!<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">If you could write and perform a song with one artist, who would you choose? Why?</span><br /><br /><a href="http://www.examiner.com/examiner/x-1621-Orange-County-Music-Examiner~y2010m5d11-Who-isLady-Gaga">Lady Gaga</a>! She actually is a great artist. She writes all her own material and have you ever seen her play piano? She is incredible. The <a href="http://perezhilton.com/2010-05-31-the-power-of-madonna-malawi-releases-gay-couple-after-madge-protests">Madonna </a>of our age. To write a song with her would be quite an experience; along with the elaborate live performances she puts on. We'd be down for that. <br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">What would you be doing if you weren't making music?</span><br /><br />If we weren't playing music we would all be lost. It's integrated so far into who we are as people and how we are all friends.

Although I have just recently acomplished my first publication in <a href="http://www.zinio.com/browse/issues/index.jsp?skuId=416127248">TitaniumGirlz</a> latest edition, modeling is not new to me. I have been modeling on and off since age 11. Two years ago, I decided to pursue the urban/glamour aspect of modeling...although I do intend to branch out into areas in the future.<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">What would you say is your best feature?</span> <br /><br />My best feature besides the obvious, would have to be my personality. You can be beautiful on the outside, but if you are not just as beautiful on the inside...your outer beauty will not get you very far.<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">What do you find most rewarding about modeling? What do you find most challenging?</span> <br /><br />I find it very rewarding that you get to showcase your hardwork, time,and efforts that are put into a photoshoot. What I find most challenging about this industry is that there are alot of fakes and wannabes. So it is sometimes dificult to distinguish between someone genuine and a phony that might be trying to hurt your career.<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">How do people misjudge or underestimate you?</span> <br /><br />People definitely misjudge me by thinking just because I model that I do not have any other great attributes to offer. This is so not true. I am a recent college graduate with a Bachelor Degree. Modeling is my passion, but education has always been my priority.<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Who are some models you admire? Why?</span> <br /><br />I definately admire my mentor <a href="http://modelsandmusic.blogspot.com/2010/02/fox-of-week-21710-kitty-kennedy-creole.html">Kitty Kennedy</a>, she is a hard worker, she is very genuine, and wants to help others succeed as well. I also admire <a href="http://dimewars.com/Blog/Lisa-Raye--Stacey-Dash---Lauren-London-Get-VH1-Show.aspx?BlogID=b3e310b2-113f-46dc-bdfc-6fb74aeb0724">Lisa Raye</a> and <a href="http://gossiponthis.com/2010/05/03/converse-band-of-ballers/">Melyssa Ford</a> because they started off as models and later branched out into aspects of the entertainment industry.<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">If you could only accomplish one more thing in your career, what would it be?</span> <br /><br />I would love to become one of the leading entrepreneurs in the country.<br /><br />Keep up with RL Marie on <a href="http://stilettotalkmag.ning.com/profile/RLMarie">Stiletto Talk Magazine</a>.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidR-qLvhdaKlwPdPaDhYvDGR-epgjeWNDiFhOmwNtBgJjFTDiTwebjGHBAnwG714LKo0x9Cy42GAArPOktrry1j8tG3NvW4kiDXhM_FBzrvnc-QaQKshK2SlxKLSHUnEqxUpKGpar7NX8/s1600/rl_marie_stiletto.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 164px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidR-qLvhdaKlwPdPaDhYvDGR-epgjeWNDiFhOmwNtBgJjFTDiTwebjGHBAnwG714LKo0x9Cy42GAArPOktrry1j8tG3NvW4kiDXhM_FBzrvnc-QaQKshK2SlxKLSHUnEqxUpKGpar7NX8/s200/rl_marie_stiletto.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5475545859395668882" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8YsPuDJ3O3edg1oy1SN-40peqjFSsLN0pNeXc8W_RBeT9Fyp15pGJ5l2St25f3t_SZFragrcXYvpHKHz3PEAuxrmy6i2Nkw9myZWkUcL1_9q9YVJrwRQMSH15JTaOusMVj2H45gH0l1w/s1600/rl_marie_hoop.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 154px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8YsPuDJ3O3edg1oy1SN-40peqjFSsLN0pNeXc8W_RBeT9Fyp15pGJ5l2St25f3t_SZFragrcXYvpHKHz3PEAuxrmy6i2Nkw9myZWkUcL1_9q9YVJrwRQMSH15JTaOusMVj2H45gH0l1w/s200/rl_marie_hoop.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5475545715679955938" /></a>Gone with the Schwindhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17168265765161313858noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7484261961782951594.post-11767269261684259352010-05-23T11:24:00.000-07:002010-05-23T11:40:17.559-07:00The Fly Kingdom: File under World Fusion<span style="font-style:italic;">Complete the sentence. <a href="http://the-fly-kingdom.com/main.html">The Fly Kingdom</a> is...</span><br /><br />A one-man band that can also expand to many members since it's all about the combination of styles that include Indian Classical music and extend to add anything else that might add to the mix.<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Describe the band's transformation from its previous sound to the current incarnation.</span><br /><br />The Fly kingdom started out as a Gothic band that sounded more like <a href="http://www.rttnews.com/ArticleView.aspx?Id=1307886">Marilyn Manson</a>. But after three CDs the style was no longer something that I could pursue. Some time after my friend Rose Monaco was diagnosed with <a href="http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/magazine/articles/2010/05/23/home_stretch/">M.S.</a> and that inspired to make a change and make more positive music. Something that would inspire hope rather than hate. Together with the idea of making positive change and suggestions from co-worked and friend Carlos Avila the sound progressed to what has now been called "If <a href="http://www.rttnews.com/Content/EntertainmentNews.aspx?Section=2&Id=1307821&SM=1">Santana</a> Went To India". Currently the band has taken yet one more change as I have used the wah pedal less and less and instead replaced it with a more symphonic sound. A sound that both the east and west can fully appreciate.<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Where would you file your music in a record store?</span><br /><br />World Fusion. <br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">If you could write and perform a song with any one artist, who would you choose? Why?</span><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mercurynews.com/music/ci_14968622?nclick_check=1">Anoushka Shankar</a>, <a href="http://www.examiner.com/x-2082-Beatles-Examiner~y2010m5d11-Ravi-Shankar-begins-archival-reissue-project-with-Nine-Decades-Vol-1">Ravi Shankar</a> or Niladri Kumar. They are fantastic sitar players and also composers who have gone beyond the stretch of their own style and made a sound of their own. They have also been my influences to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAhhqkQMCC8">pick up the sitar</a>. <br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">What would you be doing if you weren't making music?</span><br /><br />I would probably be nothing since I feel music has been my calling since I was kid. Although I did not pick up an instrument (the guitar) till I was in my teens, I have always had an appreciation for music. That appreciation turned into an obsession that has been my drive to overcome whatever obstacles that are put in front of me in order to continue making music.Gone with the Schwindhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17168265765161313858noreply@blogger.com0
