The last and only time I hung out at Club Oasis, I experienced my first full Dj Harvey disco odyssey and I have not been the same since.  Read about it here.  Lucky for us, the disco shaman himself, Dj Harvey, is back in the Bay to flex his groove muscles for ya at the lovely, intimate, and non-pretentious Club Oasis.  The great thing about this club is the retractable roof. Yes ladies and gentlemen, an open rooftop.  This is technically an outdoor party!

I expect mostly hardcore disco lovers in …

It was an incredible night and I would like to thank everyone who made it.  The VHS crew and myself put together a ‘vibe’ as we were told.  A lot of the success had to do with our Venue which had the perfect ambiance to create the perfect atmosphere for getting down.  We had a happy dancing crowd formed before midnight.  Enjoy this slide-show of the event.

All the djs had great sets. Kicked off my Chad Neiro, then Leonard, Jeno, Paul T, and capped off by Jesse.  We had …

The contemporary Nu Disco sub-genre of dance music is revered by people who love its graceful tempo and have experienced its strange magical dancefloor powers.  This magic returns to San Francisco on Saturday September 27th 2008 when the VHS crew and myself present Paul T along with Jeno and Leonard a non-club location.

Paul Takahashi, aka Paul T, is an underground culture trendsetter whose disco djing skills have earned him high degree accolades in the avant Nu Disco scenes.  Paul T sees  Disco through different lens.  He drops drippy filtered psychedelic …

This is a short entry that I feel compelled to comment on. This is one of the most surreal videos in political history. Dirty-lyric Reggaeton artist Daddy Yankee showed up to support republican presidential candidate John McCain at an Central Arizona High School. Does McCain really know what the lyrics to the song “Gasolina” by Daddy Yankee are really about? OK.. how can anyone not laugh their ass off, or at least sit there in disbelief as Daddy Yankee goes around kissing all the high …

Saturday night 5/3/2008, I was pulled out to Oakland to see Dj Harvey instead of my usual round to the monthly Kontrol party. I can not be more glad at the turn of events. I witnessed the best underground Disco set I have ever seen in my life and I have seen great ones from Andre Hachett and Maurice Fulton. Although I like Disco for its wide spectrum of funky styles I usually get a little tired of it after a half hour – …

When I made this movie in September 2006 I had different goals in mind. I wanted to work at Current TV, Al Gore and Joel Hyatt’s maven viewer created content TV network. I wanted to work at Current so much that I decided to make a movie and show them I had what it took. I had no idea that two years later this movie would inspire a journalism education program at an Oakland high school.
Check out the original version in case you haven’t seen it …

Yup, you heard that us humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes and all that. 23andme.com is offering a personal genetic analysis. You pay a cool $999,00 and you get a personalized kit with instructions on how to “spit” in plastic cup and send it back to them for analysis. What can they tell you? How about what diseases you are prone to, what traits you got from which relative, or will you be fat by 40?. Sound crazy? This guy feels great about it …

“Li Ka-shing is the richest man in Asia and the ninth richest person in the world, and owner of an appropriate rich guy last name. His wealth is valued at $23 billion” and he recently decided to drop 60 million for a piece of Facebook. What a cheap ass! I also read that he dresses “modestly”. When you run out of money next time, just say his name three times. Watch the money pour in.  Can anyone get this guy to introduce China …
