Get Ready, World….

For F*ck Your Format: Vol. 2.

 As if you thought this guy couldnt make another club banging, heart pounding mixtape…He did. And he didn’t just “bring the noise”…he fucking created the noise.

Including everything from LMFAO to The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Linkin Park to Uptown Girl by Billy Joel and even throwing in a super saucy ”Pretty woman” track. DJ Eric Draven is on Fire, and he knows it. Releasing the “Talk of Orlando” mixtape last month which has (at this point) over 40,000 downloads.

Yes…you read that right. Over 40,000 downloads. Or if you want to be specific…40, 247 downloads. Don’t believe me? CLICK HERE

F*ck Your Format Vol.2 drops tomorrow. Let me just tell you, I have had the privilege of bumping it in my car through my iPod all week and I have already had people ask me “YO! What CD is that?”, I am forced to give them a business card and say “Just go to this website, you have to wait for June 1st”.

Keep an eye on Draven, he will be making MAJOR moves this summer. Keep it locked right here on OrangeCountyConcepts.com to see what he is doing and where he will be. I can promise you, you wont be dissapointed.

Its time for a MAGICAL MASSACRE!

 DJ dLux is not going to be a happy camper that I wrote this blog, since it will knock down his blog post about his latest mixtape “Zone Defense”. If you haven’t downloaded the hottest mixtape of the summer so far get on this now! This is not just a regional mixtape, dLux is doing it really big right now with almost 2,500 downloads in a little over a day! At that rate he is as on track to be neck and neck with Bow Wow’s first week record sales from last month. Not to shabby.

 

Orlando is pretty lame right now. There is nothing in the club industry I can bash at the moment unfortunately, and hasn’t been for a while. I predict it will be a very slowwwww summer for the Orlando nightlife industry. About the only thing this city has going for it right now is our beloved Orlando Magic.

Scott Skiles must be very proud.

 

I know this isn’t a sports blog, but bare with me, I’ll find a way to tie this into the blog somehow. After years of shitty attendance and disappointment, mostly with the decisions the front office made nearly 10 years ago, the Magic is back in Orlando. I have to admit, although I am a fan, I was pretty skeptical that they would pull this series off against the Cavs , and its not over yet, even thought it would be pretty hard to blow a 3-1 series lead. It is nearly impossible to have a conversation about the Orlando Magic with another Orlando local without bringing up the past, which was an extreme failure. In 1995 the Orlando Magic were SWEPT in the NBA finals by the Houston Rockets, a series remembered mostly for its game one disappointment, which caused a spiral of falure. With the Magic up by three points late in the game, Nick Anderson, typically a 70% free throw shooter, missed four consecutive free throws that could have sealed the victory for Orlando. I remember watching Marv Albert now, giving play-by-play in Houston for game 4, and seeing the Houston fans waving brooms in the air to symbolize the “Sweep”. We all know the rest of the story: Swept by Michael Jordan and the bulls in the Eastern Conference Finals the following year, Shaq signing with the Lakers, Penny causing a mutiny against Brian Hill, and tons of epic FAILURE since.

 

1995.jpg

The Glory Days (when our uniforms didn’t look as fucking stupid as those v-necks)

 

The real purpose of this little NBA talk was to inform all the people of Orlando of the unbelievable opportunity we may have as fans. Not only the possibility of having NBA finals basketball in Orlando, but the possibility of a Victory, and NBA Championship. Now here’s the fun part…

 

I have been watching the NBA finals every year since 1993. Whenever the home team wins the championship, there is usually a celebration, some big, some not as big, it really seems to depend on the spirit and rambunctiousness of the city. Since the days of the Bulls dynasty, the celebrations just haven’t been the same. Last year when the Celtics won, their on court celebration was kind of week, so the fans attempted to take it to the streets. Unfortunately the police presence was high. “As a working class kid, I feel there is no better way of commemorating my hometown’s victory than destroying my hometown,” said Doug Coswell, an unemployed 28-year-old Celtics superfan after last years NBA Finals victory. “I really wanted to fuck some shit up tonight – but before I knew it, some pig cracked me on the head and I woke up in Suffolk County Jail.” Nice attempt Doug!

 

So you might be asking yourself, “Mr. Dawe, are you suggesting we cause a riot and destroy Downtown Orlando if the Magic win the NBA title?”. Not quite. I mean, if the opportunity presents itself go for it, but the chances of that happening are pretty slim with the extreme police presence that should be surrounding the city. On the other hand, with the Arena right next door to Parramore there shouldn’t be much to fuck up anyways.

 

We are getting a little ahead of ourselves here, I mean the Magic aren’t even in the NBA Finals yet. If they do make it, there is definitely no guarantee that they will win with either Denver or LA waiting. If they do pull it off and win the big prize who knows if they will do it at home. All I am saying is if the Magic win the NBA championship at home, it is essential as a city, for the fans to STORM THE COURT. Orlando is known as a city of PUSSIES. Everyone loves disney and all the family friendly tourist attractions here, but is that what us locals want to be remembered by? This is ORLANDO’S CHANCE TO BE BAD ASS MOTHER FUCKERS. Of course there will be 15-20 police officers surrounding the parameter of the court, but what good will that do when a crowd of 18,000 people go insane? This is your moment Orlando. The chance to break free from being a weak ass tourist destination with mouse ears as its mascot. If the Magic win the NBA championship this year, we must take back our city, in front of a NATIONAL TV AUDIENCE and act like a bunch of FUCKING IDIOTS.

 

Here is the playbook: 

Boston Celtics 1984 NBA Finals Victory.

crowd4.jpg

crowd1.jpg crowd3.jpg

 crowd2.jpg

 

Boston’s fans did it right at Boston Garden this night in 1984! Watch the place go insane at 2:22 into the below video. The players had to tell the fans to get off the court before the game was even over! Even better, 3:23, wow. I don’t even know what to say to that one, but I want to be that guy if the Magic win the championship, daisy dukes and all. SO REMEMBER if the Magic make it to the NBA finals, and if they win it at home,  help spread the word, MAGIC MASSACRE: STORM THE COURT!

To beard or not to beard?

Posted by Brian 'Docta' Dawe On May - 25 - 2009 ADD COMMENTS

I figured if I wanted to write this nonsense I better do it quickly before dLux and Draven drop their mixtapes this week, as I know they will want the top blog spot on the website. I know this may be a little off topic, actually, it kind of pertains to nightlife news, because there is a very high probability that I will be looking like a douchebag as I frolic from club to club.

 

I have always wanted to grow a beard. I made a half ass attempt at it toward the end of my Firestone days, but then I woke up early one day and shaved it off. It was getting itchy and annoying, and in a half asleep morning daze I shaved it off, forgetting that I was actually trying to grow a beard. Well if I have it my way, this summer the beard will return. Here is the ultimate goal:

 

tommiesunshine.jpg

 Tommie Sunshine, beard genius.

 

Ok, maybe not the long hair. Do ladies find any sort of sexual appeal in a beard? So far I have gotten mixed reviews, but I am willing to give it a shot. If anything I just want to have some facebook pictures looking like the one above, or even better this:

 joaquinphoenix2.jpg

joaquinphoenix.jpg

 Joaquin Phoenix, beardo.

According to some online forums I have read, “Beards are very “in” right now.”, and everyone knows how important it is for me to be “in” (see Defame: Orlando’s scene confusion blog). Nothing screams emotional stability like a neck beard, not to mention some men are recognized nearly as much for their beards as they are their accomplishments (Lincoln, ZZ Top, Rick Rubin). Now the real question here is if I grow this Joaquin Phoenix-esq beard, will I have to sport those stylish sunglasses and the skinny neck tie as well? I mean, look at how well this beardo has worked for this man:

  I am officially sold. Ok, so now the hard part. Which style beard shall I choose?

 

1. “The Gordon Fisherman”

 All out, uncontrolled pile of hair. Sported by Hemingway, Grizzly Adams, Paul Gasol, Gilbert, and most homeless guys.

 dawebeard1.jpg

 

2. “The Timberlake”

 A closely groomed, sexy look. Sported by Justin Timberlake, George Clooney, Jake Gyllenhaal.

dawebeard2.jpg

 

 

3. “The Original ’stache”

 Most don’t believe this should be allowed to be sported at all, anywhere, unless the person has lost a bet. Exceptions include Fred Goldman, Tom Selleck, Freddie Mercury, and most importantly Geraldo Rivera.

dawebeard3.jpg

 

4. “The Trucker”

 A personal favorite, a Play-Off beard gone wrong, only for Badass Mofo’s. Inspired by James Hetfield and Hulk Hogan.

dawebeard4.jpg

 

I am leaning toward “The Gordon Fisherman”, what do you think?

With all this beard excitement I almost forgot, it is that time again…

Imagine the look on the face of any random 50 year old investment banker driving home from his downtown Orlando office, when all of a sudden he sees 200+ people with blood all over them, lurching around the city beautiful.

 

Enter Zombie March Orlando 2009.

zombie.jpg

zombie3.jpgzombie2.jpg

(OCC’s own Matt Philip’s participating in last years march)

 

Orlando Zombie March was started in 2006 by Orlando’s Rocky Horror Cast – The Rich Weirdoes. This has been an annual event they have put on for the past 3 years. They are inviting all to be apart of this years “Zombie March”. The March is TODAY, so get that makeup ready, FYI: Justin James has plenty of makeup at his house if anyone needs to borrow some. According to the facebook invite:

 

“If you want to be a zombie, grab an old Halloween costume, Old work uniform, or old clothes and dirty/bloody them however you want. Makeup need not be elaborate(unless you want to) We’d like to see all kinds of Zombies this year- Zombies, Ghouls, Vampires(or Vampire Zombies), Postal Workers, Theme Park Employees, Corporate Zombies, Plague Victims(swine flu please…scary stuff),Furry Zombies(You know who you are), Dead Celebrities, Dead Rockers, Etc.

 

1st MARCH: 4pm: Meet on Park Ave. Near Rollins College. (7-11) We’ll march down past the stores and shoppers till we reach the gazebo in the park. Then back to the 7-11.

 

2nd MARCH: 6pm: Meet at Gazebo on Lake Eola (opposite side with theater) We’ll march around the lake, into Downtown Orlando, Up Orange, and then back to the lake.

 

In years past we’ve seen more victims on the first March but had more zombies on the 2nd. Feel free to do one or both, but know that the Marches are unique in their own way. Which is why we keep doing both.”

 

BRAINS! BRAINS! BRAINS!

FREE OLIVE GARDEN!

Posted by Matt Phillips On May - 23 - 2009 ADD COMMENTS

Did you eat at Olive Garden and pay with plastic a couple of years ago? If so, the restaurant chain may owe you a free appetizer.

 Olive Garden could be the latest restaurant to fork over payment — in the form of $9 appetizer vouchers — in settling a federal lawsuit over credit-card privacy.

The deal already has received preliminary approval in the Northern District of Illinois, with a final hearing set for July. It stems from a lawsuit in 2007 that accused Olive Garden of printing the last six digits of customers’ credit-card numbers on receipts. The limit under the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act is five.

Already, several thousand people have submitted voucher claims, said Chicago attorney Thomas Zimmerman, who represented the plaintiffs in the class-action lawsuit against the chain, part of Orlando-based Darden Restaurants. Zimmerman maintains that the glitch put patrons at risk of identity theft. But he could not cite anyone whose identity was stolen.

This requirement to truncate the credit card numbers was widely publicized and was well known for years and the merchants had three years to comply before the law went into effect,” said Zimmerman, who files class-action lawsuits on a variety of claims. “We don’t know why the Olive Garden failed to comply.”

The chain said in a statement that “Olive Garden takes its guests’ data and its legal obligations very seriously.” The statement said the problem was caused by a vendor, and that problematic slips “were provided only to the individual Olive Garden guests. Unfortunately, this mistake initially went unnoticed, but the problem was promptly remedied when it was brought to our attention. There is no indication that anyone has been harmed in any way by this error.”

Diners who used debit or credit cards between Dec. 4, 2006, and Aug. 10, 2007, are eligible for vouchers.

The 2003 Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act covers a range of issues, such as mandating annual free credit reports for anyone who wants them. It also puts limits on how much debit- or credit-card information can be printed on receipts. Those limits went into effect in December 2006.

When restaurants and other establishments have printed more than the limits, lawsuits have arisen.

“It is something where both very large and seemingly sophisticated and small and unsophisticated businesses both get caught,” said Walter Olson, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, who has a blog called Overlawyered.

Critics of such suits describe them as opportunistic, pointing out that no one generally reports any identity theft as a result of the breaches.

“It’s like reckless driving in which no one had an accident and except for the lawyers, no one even noticed the car speeding,” Olson said.

The lead plaintiff in the case was Mary Dudzienski of Illinois. Records show that Zimmerman represented Dudzienski in three other similar lawsuits. “A friend of hers had her identity stolen, so that’s what made her interested in these types of cases,” Zimmerman said.

Dudzienski could not be reached for comment.

According to the notice on Zimmerman’s Web site, Dudzienski will be applying for an “incentive award” of $2,500, which Darden has agreed to pay separately. Under the proposal, according to the notice, the company also has agreed to pay about $130,000 to Zimmerman and $5,000 to charity.

Who’s eligible

Customers who ate at an Olive Garden in the United States and paid with a debit or credit card between Dec. 4, 2006 and Aug. 10, 2007, can fill out a form available at www.attorneyzim.com requesting a voucher. The PDF form is available under the heading “Class Action Notices.” You can also call 1-866-890-4862. You don’t have to provide proof of purchase but do have to sign a document certifying, under penalty of perjury, that you made the purchase. The voucher forms must be postmarked by June 4.

Relapse? More like Collapse

Posted by dLux On May - 14 - 2009 40 COMMENTS

So everybody is talking about it, everybody is bootlegging it, and everybody seems to have a different opinion on Marshall Mathers latest LP, Relapse, and it doesn’t even hit stores till this Tuesday.

My thoughts on the album? I think my graphic above says it all, FAIL. What a flop, and this is coming from the guy who actually LIKED Encore so don’t think I am just Em biased or just hating cause everybody else is liking it (which I’ve actually heard more negative reviews from people than I have positive anyway).

The problem? Well, pick one.

1. Eminem is 37 years old.

Now, with that being said, I am not saying he is too old to be rapping because Jay-Z is damn near 40 and still puts out decent material (see: American Gangster). What I am saying is that Eminem, at 37, should be rapping about NEW things. You’ve been out of the game for what, 4-5 years? You couldn’t think of ANYTHING else to rhyme about besides the same, tired, not-shocking-anymore-cause-it’s-not-1999 bullshit? WE KNOW DUDE, WE GET IT. Your Mom is a crazy bitch, you eat & sleep pills, and you like either getting raped, or doing the raping. Trust me Marshall, we all know, and we all closed our wide open shocked mouths years ago.

Now I know in defense people might come at me and say “dLux, it’s not like the rappers you listen to are actually switching their style up and talking about more things than flipping birds, cars, and smoking weed”

And to that I say touche my friend. BUT, those rappers (Gucci Mane, Shawty Lo, Yung LA, etc) haven’t put out albums that will go down as classics, sold 35 million records, or made more money in rap than most people in the game in a 5 year span. There is no shame in throwing in the towel while you are ahead. Instead, Eminem chose to put out the garbage that is Relapse.

2. Why are you rapping like a cartoon character?

Did I miss something on this album? Is it suppose to be a concept album of a bunch of characters? Or has Slim Shady turned into an arab-rapper and I just missed the bus? “We Made You”? Wigger, please.

 3. Since when has Eminem had to release 3 singles BEFORE his album came out to garner some type of hype? (Go ahead, I’ll give you a second to think about it)

 It all started with that piece of shit that still stinks from here, “Crack a Bottle”. Could you be anymore cliche after a 4 year hiatus? Since when does Eminem take the Cash Money Records circa 1999 route and make a song about popping bottles in the club? Then have 50 Cent jump on the mic and use it as a toilet after Eminem wasn’t even done whiping his own ass? Bad move no. 1 Jimmy Iovine.

OK, so “Crack a Bottle” isn’t gaining much attention, what now? Well, let’s check the toilet out and see if there are any fresh turds left….

YES! FOUND ONE! CORN & PEANUTS INSIDE IT TOO!

“We Made You”

So I gave “Crack a Bottle” a pardon because there were rumors that it might end up as 50’s first single for his upcoming album (it ended up on Relapse in the end) so I figured it was just a bad Eminem chorus/verse.

Enter “We Made You” aka “The Real Slim Shady” aka “Just Lose It” aka the comedic top 40 single. This song is the reason for me saying what’s the deal with the cartoon character voice? Is this dude serious? Is mainstream America serious for actually making this song somewhat of a hit (#1 on iTunes the day after its release)? Absolute garbage and probably holds the title for the worst song on the album right next to “Crack a Bottle”. And the video? MORE SHOCK VALUE!! LOOK AT EMINEM, HE’S CRAZY!!! HE’S DRESSING UP LIKE CELEBRITIES AND BASHING THEM!! CRAZY!!!!!

Obviously “We Made You” wasn’t gaining THAT much steam because Interscope decided to drop ANOTHER single and ANOTHER video (we’re on #3 now, PRE-release). What can we do to make this video different? Hm, let’s take 5.

I got it! We’ll make it like a horror film! And debut the video on Cinemax!! YES.

Enter “3am” (also the name of a Young Jeezy song, produced by Timbaland, which is WAY better, look it up, it’s actually on my first mixtape so you don’t have to look far).

My question on this song is hooowwww muuuchhhh tiiimmmeee stttrreeccttthhiiinggg cccaaannn yyoouuu ddoooo? It is just me or does it sound like he is purposely rapping slower than it should be so he can stay on beat? FAIL.

Now don’t get me wrong here, the album has A COUPLE good songs but it definetly has much more bad than good. I like “Stay Wide Awake” and “Trouble” but that’s honestly about it.

So in conclusion, this album is absolute garbage and I can only imagine that Relapse 2, which is scheduled to come out at the end of this year, will be just as bad if not worse.

If you want some REAL HIP-HOP from some real MCs who’ve been in the game 15+ years and are still putting out quality, then this is the only album you should buy on May 19th:

ROLL IN, ROCK OUT OF BUSINESS

Posted by dLux On May - 12 - 2009 51 COMMENTS

 

 

A very reliable source has informed me that MetroWest’s newest nightclub, Roll Bar, has shut its doors indefinetly. Rumors are that the club wasn’t paying its bills and had to fold due to overwhelming debt.

 

Roll Bar recently fired their GM to bring in another person to hopefully breathe new life into their club which, in my opinion wasn’t that bad of a spot. They had the right idea, the right location, and it seemed like they had a steady following but I guess it just wasn’t enough to compete. Investors have apparently gutted the building taking everything they can. Televisions, VIP furniture, and of course plenty of booze were all seized by investors. Rumor has it that the owners of the highly successful Tavern On The Lake, which is also in the same plaza as Roll Bar, are trying to buy the now defunct club.

 

We’ll have more on this story as it develops so be sure to check back and REMEMBER WHERE YOU HEARD IT FIRST, ORANGE. COUNTY. CONCEPTS.

Orlando is really blessed to have Magic Mike perform on a weekly basis. Magic kills it on the decks every Friday night at Antigua Nightclub. Tonight is a very special edition of the Friday night party. In celebration of Magic Mike’s birthday Antigua is proud to present 2 Live Crew!!

If anyone missed the 2 Live Crew show last year (AKA The debut of my “Pop Dat Pu$$ay” shirt) then this is a night you HAVE to attend. Here’s a few shots form last years party:

These guys are insane, and even though they are without Luke, who was really the front man of 2 Live Crew for years, Fresh Kid Ice, Mr. Mixx, and Brother Marquis still hold it down. If you don’t know, 2 Live Crew caused considerable controversy with the sexual themes in their work, particularly on their 1989 album As Nasty As They Wanna Be. These guys basically started the Miami bass sound and reunited with Magic Mike, this is guaranteed to be a crazy night!

Round of applause, fade to black

 Ok so first things first, DEFAME: Orlando is apparently not Homer Simpson.

Who would have thought, right?

The writer of the now infamous Orlando blog has to decided to call it quits after just over a year. Who can forget the Kanye Shutter Glasses post? How about Orange County Concepts first time making it?

You cannot even mention the blog without saying two words: Saturday/Thursday. The blog provided the platform for no matter what the topic of the post was, for people to express how they felt about longtime Saturday/Thursday DJ Pauly Crush not running the highly successful weekly anymore, most with complete and utter discontent.

What I found so funny and intriguing about the blog is what once was so embarrassing about getting ‘defamed’ turned into what seemed to be a promotional giant whether good or bad. Some people couldn’t look at it as open minded and would have their posts taken down justin james.

If you followed the saga you would know that DJ Docta Dawe himself at the height of the blogs popularity dropped a bombshell on the downtown nightlife scene by not only revealing the identity of the blogger, but backing it up with proof of IP addresses matching up among other things on OCC.

Tempers flaired, in what was to become the most commented blog in OCC history. People saying that we have revealed the wrong person, or that there are multiple people who write for the blog so we would never really know the true identity of the person/persons. What people don’t know is that Meghan actually contacted Dawe through the Defame MySpace and asked him to take that blog down but Dawe said he would only do it under the condition that they finally reveal themselves and not over MySpace or IM, but over the phone. Dawes phone rings and what does he hear? “It’s Megan, I’m Defame”. So Dawe re-worded the blog to not spoil the fun that she was having and keep the mystery alive.

In due time this little blog talking and trashing about all things nightlife in Downtown Orlando would become voted the #1 blog by the Orlando Weekly (OCC got #3) and would eventually end up getting a cover story in the Weekly as well.

After “re-editing” the post revealing her, Dawe and Meghan would actually became good friends and I myself also had the pleasure of meeting and hanging out with the illutrious writer of the blog that captivated a town for months (although her friends are a different, bitchy story).

So in conclusion we here at OCC would like to thank and congratulate Meghan for a job well done. No matter how many of our nights you bashed, put car-bed-Dawe-face on pictures, we always took it in stride and never personal and knew that if people were talking about us, we were obviously doing something right.
