Came across this super dope remix by The Soundmen to Britney Spear’s “3″ on TheMusicSlut. It definitely deserves to be posted and you can download it for free from this link as well.

She might have always been sort of a hot mess…but it’s cool. Just look at the picture below and it all goes away.
If you haven’t seen it yet, here is the new video. It’s been out for a minute, but it’s still something fun to look at.

This week I was picked for Photoshop Friday at the workplace. This is an exciting weekly event where we pick a person from the office, and insult them to the highest extent. Although many people have mastered the skill of Pshop, and have no issues whipping something up quickly…we have decided to add a twist. Mother Fucking MS Paint. That’s right, you can use nothing except for MS Paint. These are the results.
Lots of Volvo’s, adoption jokes, making fun of my badass dog, my perfectly sculpted hair and calling me a Puerto Rican. Cago en su mamá ayer. No porque quiero a, pero porque yo me siento que soy necesario. ¡Viva el burrito! 
Even though you’d think I would be offended. I’m not. It was quite an exciting morning. This pretty much sums it up.
Off to the pictures yo!

Meet Vince Shlomi. He’s probably better known to you as the ShamWow Guy, the ubiquitous television pitchman who has been phenomenally successful peddling absorbent towels and food choppers. Shlomi, 44, was arrested last month on a felony battery charge following a violent confrontation with a prostitute in his South Beach hotel room. According to an arrest affidavit, Shlomi met Sasha Harris, 26, at a Miami Beach nightclub on February 7 and subsequently retired with her to his $750 room at the lavish Setai hotel. Shlomi told cops he paid Harris about $1000 in cash after she “propositioned him for straight sex.” Shlomi said that when he kissed Harris, she suddenly “bit his tongue and would not let go.” Shlomi then punched Harris several times until she released his tongue. The affidavit notes that during the 4 AM fight Harris sustained facial fractures and lacerations all over her face (she is pictured here in mug shots snapped following busts in 2008 and 2005). After freeing his tongue, a bleeding Shlomi ran to the Setai lobby, where security summoned cops. Harris refused to cooperate with officers, who recovered $930 from her purse. “Both parties had a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emitting from their persons,” police reported.
In a brief telephone interview, Harris declined to answer TSG questions about her run-in with Shlomi, though she did say she is considering a lawsuit against the pitchman. Asked if she worked as a hooker, Harris declined comment. As seen in the below mug shot, Shlomi was also injured during the fracas and, court records show, was treated at Mount Sinai Medical Center. While Shlomi and Harris were both arrested for felony aggravated battery, prosecutors this month declined to file formal charges against the combatants. Police records list Shlomi’s occupation as “Marketing,” but make no mention of his affiliation with the ShamWow or the Slap Chop, both of which sell for $19.95 (plus shipping and handling)

Sigh. Its all over after today. I didn’t even get to go to WMC this year and even I am disappointed. I feel like I have been living the WMC life through this weeks blog series and don’t want it to end!! This has been the best WMC year in history according to this Yahoo! news article. Yes, WMC is so big now it is making major news right next to the space shuttle, and President Obama. Word is the Fools Gold Party was INSANE last night!! I want to see pics bad! Someone, please leave a pic in the comment section or something, or even better a video! Today as conference comes to an end there as still a decent amount of “closing” parties to hit, if you still have the strength. Most are featuring mainstream artists, and are presented by large venues, so our eclectic indie electro OCC taste has been a little tainted with today’s recommendations, but don’t fret, these parties will probably be a relief after hearing hardcore rave electro all week. Time for some smooth poolside house music beats.
SPACE MIAMI CONFERENCE CLOSING POOL PARTY
Good line-up, but a little pricey. Oh well, your in Miami one last day, you better do it big!! Definitely one of the best line-ups of the day, and with it being an all day pool party its the perfect time to get some sun before you have to bring your pasty ass home.

So word on the streets is it went down last night at Fontainebleau… Paris Hilton interrupted Steve Angello’s set and asked him to play something different. E! online is claiming she wanted more “danceable techno” like “Daft Punk or Bob Sinclair”, but pretty much everyone else is saying she asked for Steve Angello to play Hip-Hop at a WMC party. Looks like E! is just kissing some Paris ass. Another site says she asked for “Black Eyed Peas or Madonna” If that is true, which I am sure it is, someone please ship this bitch off to a different planet. Here is where the story gets good… After the request someone assaulted someone, who did what is pretty much one word against another…
The people on Paris Hilton’s side are saying Steve Angello’s bodyguard shoved Paris, which prompted a furious Doug Reinhardt (Paris’s man flavor of the week) to tell the man not to touch his lady. Then an all out fight broke out in the booth. The other side (which pretty much everyone believes) is that Hilton told her bodyguard to punch Steve Angello for not playing the music she wanted.
David Guetta also witnessed the incident, and disputes Hilton’s version of events, “Her security punched him for refusing to play what she wanted. That’s what all the witnesses saw.”
“Steve plays dance music, he just doesn’t play hip hop. He politely refused Hilton’s requests but she got more and more agitated, and it escalated pretty quickly. Out of nowhere one of her security guards smacked Steve in the face,” the Angello camp insists.
“Steve is a quiet guy, but he had to act in self defense and fought back. He started pounding on the guy and it suddenly turned into a full scale fight in the DJ booth,” according to the DJ’s version of events.
I am relieved Steve Angello didn’t fold under the pressure to play the garbage this spoiled bitch wanted to hear. That entire club was there to see Steve Angello, and hear his track selection, not DJ Paris. Please may Paris Hilton go away forever now, at very least please leave us alone during WMC, or if you must go please stay at the Crooklyn Clan/DJ AM parties, thanks.

Ok, so we were so busy partying we missed a few days of this series!! (or having surgery in my case) but either way lets get back to business. Its Friday night of WMC, this thing is full force underway and tonight is going to be HUGE. As some of you know I missed STEREO Miami (and Orlando) because of some health concerns, which I will touch on later in the week when WMC is behind us. There are so many major events tonight it is hard to talk about them all, so I will just highlight my top four for the night. Lets put it this way, if your walking on Collins or Washington today, its going to be hard NOT to find a bangin’ ass party.
ULTRA MUSIC FESTIVAL
What is WMC without Ultra Music Festival? Today is day one and it is filled with an unbelievable list of talent. Its a bit pricey, and personally, I like the hunt of seeing most of the artists playing Ultra in smaller venues throughout WMC week but there is no doubt that this is the best way to see all the acts you want in one place. Ultra also has been locking in more exclusive performances this year (Tiesto, Bloc Party, Carl Cox, Deadmau5, Santigold, Rabbit In The Moon, BT Live) making this one of the most unavoidable Ultra’s to date if you expect to catch all the artists you want to see. To me, this day is worth it just for Deadmau5. If you have any question to that you can refer to dLux’s blog from a few days back.Talent: Tiesto (Exclusive), Black Eyed Peas (Exclusive), Bloc Party (Exclusive), Carl Cox (Exclusive), David Guetta, Pendulum Live (Exclusive), Deadmau5 (Exclusive), Santigold (Exclusive), Roni Size Reprazent (Exclusive), The Ting Tings (Exclusive), Rabbit In The Moon (Exclusive), Swedish House Mafia (Featuring Steve Angello, Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso), Benny Benassi, Richie Hawtin, Steve Lawler, Tiga, Luciano, BT Live (Exclusive), Shiny Toy Guns (Exclusive), Dirty South, Sneaky Sound System, Perry Farrell, Busy P, Loco Dice, Josh Wink, Chris Lake, The Whip Live (Exclusive), Mar T, Kevens, Rye Rye, Una Slim, Tini, RiotGeaR, Patrick M, Clayton Steele, Natalia Suvorova, and many more…

Day two of WMC is here and the parties are starting to pick up!! Today is still not jam packed with events but come tomorrow and especially Thursday this thing will be 100% underway. Tomorrow stands out as the real kick off of WMC with tons of huge events but we will touch more on that later…
I want to quickly mention, but not highlight “Project Mayhem’s WMC Industry Social Year 5″ party at Jazid. I went to this party the last few years and it is a bunch of fun. Being that it’s mostly beaksbeats, and features a lot of Orlando locals I don’t wanna get into this one too much, because this week long blog series is about the acts you can’t see in Orlando. Either way, check this out for a second tonight. It features Slyde, Plaza De Funk, DJ X, Jenn Lasher, Urban J, MCR, Emily Play & Devine, Slip187 and a bunch of others - 7:00 PM - 5:00 AM @ Jazid 1342 Washington Avenue.
The next three events really speak for themselves!
First event is Major WMC @ The Electric Pickle [formerly circa 28]. I want to see DJ Falcon. Period. He has worked hand and hand with Thomas Bangalter from Daft Punk for many years and has a knack for making an infectious disco loop a hot track (Think “Together”, “So Much Love To Give”, “Call On Me remix”). French house music is at it’s best right here, before there was a Justice, there was DJ Falcon and Thomas Bangalter. This party also features Dadalife, Junior Sanchez, Stretch Armstrong, Jay-You, Lauren Flax, Danny Daze, D.Ysh, Inbal Lankry, Lazaro Casanova, Eli Escobar, Blu Jemz, Dan Oh, Red Foxx, Lloydsky, Discotech, De signer, Thee Mike B and more.

The night is still young, lets hit the next party!! Loose Morals @ Dolce. This party has a very nice line-up of new generation indie electro DJs. Its hard to pick a DJ to highlight for this party, Le Castle Vania, Treasure Fingers, Nadastrom, AC Slater, Bart B More, and Classixx are all favorites of mine and most of them have been featured on this blog at one time or another. Anyways, this party is gonna be dope and you definitely should not miss it. Get your fists ready because they are gonna be pumping!

Finally on our must hit party list for day two of conference is this massive all-star line-up at Mansion. Most people attending WMC like to avoid Mansion because of the long lines, extremely high cover charges, and gweetos with excessive use of LA Looks in their slicked back doos but this one might be worth those headaches. Mansion <3’s Electro features Benny Benassi, Calvin Harris (dj set), The Bloody Beetroots and more.
