Summer Music 4 2kNine is On Its Way - Post One

L.A. Nouveau the blog is back... sorta.
I know Im shocking a lot of u's that Im actually blogging again.


We all know the rumors u heard about how José moved on, about how L.A. Nouveau was bcuming a production company/party planning masterpiece instead of just a blog.

Nd 2 b honest, blogging wasnt something I was sure Id b doing again.


But with the way the Economy still is, with the way that global warming is, nd with the way that Mainstream Music is right now thanx 2 the FloRiders' fellatio anthems nd the SoldierBoy's "Sexual Desperation via Mobile Phone", I feel its only right 2 help u's out musically.


Especially as Summer 2kNine is creeping closer nd closer like a bad case of SARS in Beijing/TorontoCanada.
So in my puruits of finding the freshest new music, I plan 2 occasionally Post a lil something 2 prepare u 4 the Hipster/Blipster/ElectroCircuit Anthems of SUMMER 2kNINE.

FIRST.

The big one.

Grab ur shortsleeve flannel, ur thinned-out CircleScarf that u will wear as pants, nd whip out the TanningOils cuz this 1's gonna b around 4 the Summer.

Its by Canadian DJ / Electro artist TIGA, whose new album Ciao! cums out soon. (circa April 27 2kNine)

The song is called "Shoes".
This song will leave u wanting more. Nd by the 50th time uve heard it, ull h8 it. But then ull take a lil break nd find it again b4 Labor Day nd b in love again.







Tiga - "Shoes"

Nd take a look at the bizarre/hilarious/wtfff/LadyGaga?v2.0 music viddy 4 this hot track:



Whats ur take on it?
Love it? h8 it? Vom'd during it? Cant see clearly aftr it? On ur way 2 the ER? Post a lil Comment.

Ill b posting another great Spring/Summr 2kNine track tmrw.
Srsly tho. If u dont believe me, cum on back 2morrow.

It normally may not be this frequent tho, so take this day 2 thank God/Jesus/YoungerReligiousBrother/Choose.ur.own.inspiration.figure 4 the return of some L.A. Nouveau goodness.

Bitch,
José

Get Creative With Your Intake/Alcoholism

Warning: Not trying 2 promote the "binge drinking culture" with this upcuming post. But, like, whatevr.

Now that thats out of the way, it seems like a good time in the yr 2 discuss the cleverly created pastime of 'consumption entertainment activities', aka 'drinking games'.
It is, after all, officially the bizarre lil month of March, a month full of holidays/experiences like St.PatricksDay where ur lil Irish frnds get 2 b all "proud" of their hungerstriken heritage so u can drink a lot.
The month of March is also usually home 2 SpringBreak, a common ritual that finds many collegeStudents using excessive amounts of booze/drugs/sex 2 have a good time in some warm sunny locale.

Nd while there r plenty of ways 2 drink nd places 2 do so, sometimes they bcum cliché nd frustrating when utilized 2 much.
- Like at a club.
U gotta love the club scene, but always having 2 throw down lots of cashmoney 4 cheapo lil drinks can get rly annoying.

- Like at a FratParty/BasementParty.

While these two party scenes r cumpletely diffrent, they r similar in some regards, like their overall sketchiness, the increased potential for unwanted sexual activities, the high possibility 4 hard drugs, nd in regards 2 drinking, where its all very excessive nd usually containing alcohol that ur not rly sure of.
Cuz even if its in a bottle u recognize, chances r that its been refilled with some kind of crap OsoNegro-style shit that will probably make u vom later, anothr key similarity between FratParties nd BasementParties [via the frequent vomiting of partyguests after they leave].


- Like with ur parents. Cuz nothing says "Our family is doing just fine" like taking shots of Jack Daniels. Especially when this is in conjunction with a death or an elderly some1's birthday.

But some would find it surprising 2 hear that this can bcum problematic after a while.
[Miss u N.D.]

So sometimes when all of these places/events/experiences get kind of tiring 2 always b partaking in drinking at, the best thing 2 do is gather up a few good frnds nd partake in 1 of those good ol drinking games.

Nd the best part is: There r so many diffrent Drinking Games 2 choose from.

- There's the Card-related Drinking Games.
Like the ones my college self loves 2 play.
Love u Kings.
Want 2 start playing Go Fish! as a drinking game more with my frnds/family.

- There's the Media-Interactions Drinking Games.

Which in itself there r many kinds of DrinkingGames too.

1 Exmpl: Playing a movie drinking game.

Nearly any movie will work. 1 my frnds recently did was a Drinking Game 4 "American Beauty".
Went a lil something like this:
Drink evry time...
1. Any1 does drugs
.
2. Lester obsesses over Angela.
3. Ricky is seen videotaping anythng.
4. Lester argues with any1.
5. Lester is shown exercising.
6. Angela calls Ricky weird/freak/anything along those lines
.

americanbeauty by you.

Anothr Media-Interaction Drinking Game exmpl: Watching a speech/the news.
If u decide 2 wake up 1 morning, flip on CNN nd take a shot of ur fave hard booze evry time they mention the Economy. Its a surefire way 2 4get the rest of ur day nd evrything that will unfold.

Thnx TinaFey 4 making this NewsInteraction DrinkingGame so popular via ur SarahPalin impressions. aka Taking a swag 4 evry use of the word "maverick".

Suggesting that u start making a Drinking Game out of ur reading of L.A. Nouveau.
Here r the rules:
Take a shot evry time u see the word "hipster", "Uffie", "mp3", "LosAngeles", or "Nouveau".
From here, get ready 2 enjoy a great hardly-remembered nite.

- Lastly, cant 4get the NothingButHornyPpl Drinking Games.
The exact games range in nature, nd r often the most creative nd metaphorical of the Drinking Games.
But the basic idea behind them is always the same: when ppl want 2 do sexual things, putting them on an entertaining path 2 do so via alcohol always creates 4 a memorable experience.

Want 2 hear about the NothingButHornyPpl Drinking Games that u like 2 play when ur in a group setting with ur peers.
Or any othr creative Drinking Games that u have found 2 b meaningful in ur life.
Want 2 create a Drinking Game Forum via This blog post.
So plz comment away.

Hoping bitches will implement the new L.A. Nouveau DrinkingGame,
José

The Minimal Value of Xmas, Thnx Elmo

It’s cuming.
It’s about 2 b here.
It’s so close.
Xmas. Its been here 4 months, but the culmination of all the PostModernConsumerism of the last months finally cums down 2 this 1 day.

Xmas Day.
This day’s been going on for a little while now, but never has it been bigger/bolder/grander/spicier than it has been 4 the last half centry or so.
Xmas is, apparently, so in.
At least thats what the entire USofA anit-hipster culture tells me.
At least thats what my frnd’s SundaySchoolTeachrMom always told me.
At least thats what I thought I was supposed 2 think.

But now I’m an IndieThinkr.
My BrainChild is a whole new toddlr.


Nd I’ve begun 2 rethink the bullsht/crap/nonsense/disturbia that I put up with.

Nd bcuz of the EconomicCrisis thats sweeping the nation/wrld/galaxy, im not asking 4 any presents this yr. Nd im not sending any either.
I’m 2 scared that my apartment/dorm will foreclose.

But Back 2 Xmas.
As WalMart SuperCenter MegaSales nd traffic madness overflows all mall-areas in the nation,
As the only profitable music genre in the mnth of Decmbr remains 2 b crap/overproduced/hilar xmas music,
As my cousins who live in Gardena/WestCompton waste thousands of dollars nd resources in electricity by putting out their singing animatronic dancing light-up Santa along with onemillion othr lights,

I grow 2 feel less nd less connected 2 this HolyDay.

Nd honestly, the music generally just pisses me off.
But there’s a few great tracks that make my Xmas/Kwanza/’Nukkah pretty cumplete.
I will share 1 of them with u now.

Amazing xmas track numbr 1 is from The Weepies.
While they've had 2 great albums since their 2k4 debut Happiness, their beluvd xmas song cums from this first album. It's called "All That I Want".
Some of my/ur/his/her fave lyrics:

And when the night is falling/Down the sky at midnight/Another year is stalling/Far away a good bye, good night


The Weepies - "All That I Want"


Enjoy nd b greatful that u got this wondrful song nd not a lump of coal/anothr angsty electro song 4 once.
Nevr 4get babyTickleMeElmo.

Merry happy yall bitches,
José

Seasonal Depreshn Hits HOME


"Get me out of this nightmare that some people call life." - AJS

On this same topic, I'd like 2 discuss High School Flings. Flngs. But specifically, I'd like 2 discuss what happens aftr they die.

U know when I'm talkng about...
Somewhere btween the second week of college nd Thnxgvng break cums the time when that high school lovr, who u swore u wuldnt let college get in the way of, goes sour.
What the result of this curdling of the relationship is can vary.
- Whethr its that the boyfrnd is possibly cheatng with that hot girl from Kappa who's in all his fb pics
- Whethr its that the lack of sexual activity is makng ur body want to eat ur insides
- Whethr its that the girlfrnd all of the sudden forgot that she planned on waiting til marriage
- Whethr its that the 19 yr old hubby-2-be couldn't afford a weddng ring cuz he spent all his money on txtbooks, baby supplies, nd coke
- Whethr its that the supposed best frnd convinced the bf/gf that dating is so not in right now

No mattr the situation, the idea remains the same in all cases: Love Dies.
I'm sorry, was I not clear enuf? Let me repeat that:
Love. Dies.
Evrytime.

But then there's always those ppl, u know the ones... hell, u might be one of them,
Yes, ThosePpl, who refuse to accept the fact that Love does Die.
Well here's a little message I'd like to share written to all ThosePpl evrywhere:

Dear ThosePpl,
My life might suck right now cuz I'm back home in a freezng inferno missng the fk out of LA, wishng I was in Paris, praying that I'll get back to the sun and warmth soon,
But ur life is a joke.
Eg. Knock Knock? Who's there? Ur life is a joke.
That right there was ur life, bcuz ur so sadly dictated by the false impression that ur former love is still blossoming and blooming, even tho the leaves have fallen, it's 30º and the non-tropical non-desert non-SoCal regions of the wrld are buried under a blanket of late autumn/early wintr death.

So please thnk again before u tell me that ur high school relationship is still workng out.
Signed, José the Realist Reaper.

Aftr this EmoThrillr AngstRidden blog post, two angsty songs cum to mind to post.
The first: a more downbeat jam by my currnt loves, M83.

M83 - You Appearing

The nxt: a supurbly angst-ridden track from evryone's favorite angst bitch duo, Crystal Castles.

Crystal Castles - Courtship Dating

Bitch-city is Aquí,

Welcum 2 Los Angeles, Pasty-folk

I remembr Novmbr. I remembr it well. It was actually one of my favorite months, just cuz Octobr SUCKED THE BIG ONE, and Decmbr depresses the fk outta me. (Thnk you cold weather, commercialism, and false happiness)
But Novmbr always had an eeriness to it that no othr month quite had. The leaves changed, the weather got colder, the sky got darker earlier, the skin got pastier, the clothes got less slutty.


But now I'm in Los Angeles.
I've heard that it generally does get colder around this time of year and some leaves do fall and the climate begins to change a little.
So here's a little personal message to all u ppl that have told me this:
U R a bunch of cnty LIARS.

SRSLY. It's 90 DEGREEZ OUTSYDE.
SRSLY. 20 min north of me, there are crazy raging fires.
SRSLY. The air is filling with more smoke and soot by the second.
SRSLY. It looks like a nuclear disaster outside.

SRSLY. I might suffocate.
SRSLY. I died 5 min ago.

But srsly, I guess the good news is that I was able to tan for a while yesterday.

TIME ELAPSE: I wrote the first part of this post an hour ago.
Since then, the air has gotten a shit ton worse.
And I just took some epic photographs of how scary it looks outside.
So enjoy this shit below, and recall that the fire was almost 30 min away, and all these picturez were taken during the broad daylight around 3:30 pm, and all these picturez are unedited aka RAW.

Safely betchin (for now),
José
