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.

Shockingly, 28,625 of you visited 74,243 different pages on orangecountyconcepts.com during the month of November. That is down significantly from our glory days, but still a mystery to me considering we haven’t updated since Familiar Joe’s post about the Electric Zoo festival in September. At least our last post was in September, MiamiNights.com hasn’t had a post since June, and DrinkUpOrlando.com and Defame Orlando are like, non-exhistant now, hmmm how things change. So where are you getting your gossipy news now Orlando nightlife people? How are you surviving without our witty, insulting, sarcasm?
So you may ask yourself, what is going on with Docta Dawe, dLux, E. Sprad the photographer, Matt Phillips, Chris Callahan the photographer, and the rest of the bloggers that faithfully brought the city of Orlando entertainment for over a year here on OCC. Well, we are at a crossroads… That is:
Revive OCC?
Move on to a new project?
Its been a tough call. As many of you know I have been sidelined for a few months with a medical thing, (See http://www.orangecountyconcepts.com/2009/03/29/docta-dawe-public-service-announcement-2/) and will be returning to the DJ world around January. Until then I plan on doing a lot of nothing and really would like to get back to blogging. Soooo with that being said I will be announcing how I plan to do that over the next few days…
Personally, I would like to create a new blog, one that is not over run with comments from Russians about where to score viagra on the low low. I also would love to do something with my past collaborators… (even Kaypee), we did have a lot of fun here on OCC, and I think that really came across through our blogs. Anyways, hopefully this little thought from my head will catch on to the revival, or to a new project…. either way, my person/temporary blog will be up and running soon, but will mostly focus on my cancer treatment. So lets get this party started again my Orlando blogger friends!!
I can always be reached at:

Congratulations on another successful year as Orlando’s premiere alternative weekly publication. With the arrival of the “best of 2009” issue, I can’t help but notice that I was not given an invitation to the “Best of Orlando” party, again! I have been completely distraught over this, as last year not only did our lovely site place a hard fought #3 in the “Best Local Internet Site” category, but I also placed #2 in the “Best Club DJ”. How come I never received a classy “Best of Orlando” framed plaque like everyone else?!?! What may have slipped under the radar of many of the fine employees of the Orlando Weekly, is that last year, despite not getting an invite to the “Best of” party, I actually made it in anyways…. as the DJ.
Here I am proudly sporting my custom made “#2″ shirt to commemorate my status as almost a winner.
So this is where the blog turns from friendly chatter to sour apples. This years winners are no surprise to me. By looking at these results I see that not only have we not evolved as a city, we have actually taken steps backwards (the reasons to which I mention on a blog by blog basis). I will revisit this topic again later…
As far as the “Best Club DJ” category goes, I took myself out of the running, because I have not been the best club DJ in Orlando the past year. In 2008 I deserved it, 2009, not as much. Kittybat, and Y-NOT definitely deserve the honor, as they are both sick DJs. I am glad to see that deserving DJs took home this honor, and that the popularity contest element took the back seat to skill. Pauly Crush, also, deserves credit, as he has pioneered a long running night (Crush) that has been successful for many years now, something that was virtually unheard of in Orlando before his arrival. I can sleep well at night knowing this award was given to the right people.
The most disappointing category in this years awards is the “Local Color” section. When is Billy Manes (Not to be confused with the dead Oxyclean guy) going to NOT win the “Best Local Writer” award? How can you win best writer, in your own newspapers category? One look at this fucking category and I seriously want to move as far away from this city as possible. I am so tired of the same old names and faces. But in all fairness, they did have a few good Orlando Weekly picks, but I don’t understand the supposed “reader picks”. Who the fuck goes to metromix? How can this POSSIBLY be in the top websites? LAME. How does “The Daily City” win best blog?!? No offense, but Daily City, Who are you?
We are the best blog in Orlando. Period.
I could go on for five more paragraphs but I am already bored with this blog. I will close with this… I am glad there is a newspaper like the Orlando Weekly in this town, to call out the bullshit in this city, especially with some of our local elected officials and the constant bureaucracy, scandal, and corruption that surrounds them. So even though we have been blacklisted by The Weekly in 2009, our hats go off to the paper that keeps ‘em honest and tell it like it is… MOST of the time.
I pulled this mix off of Y-NOT’s blog, its pretty dope. O.U.R. SHOW RADIO Mix archive from 5/9/2009. You can check him out every Sat from 5-7PM on 91.5 WPRK FM.

The two things we have been following in the local Orlando news here at OCC have repeated themselves. Two stories repeated, twenty four hours.
Shannon Burke, local radio host was arrested again around Wednesday night for a violation of his pre-trial release. A judge placed Burke on a GPS monitor, which he apparently removed later, and told him he could have no contact with his wife, nor return to home. So Mr. Burke gave a friend his house key and told him to get his motorcycle and gather some of his belongings. That is considered third party contact, and that is something a judge says Burke was not permitted to do. To top it all off, the dog that was injured by Burke’s bullet was also injured again in the commotion last night. wtf.
For the second time in less than one day Orlando police were involved in a shooting. This time, a 17-year-old male was shot in crime hills while fleeing police who saw him carrying a gun. The good news about this one is the kid is going to be ok, the police officer only shot him one time, right in the ASS. haha.
Now back to some fun. Antigua has recovered from the cinco de mayo fiasco and is opened tonight! We do a little party there every week called STEREO. Don’t miss it! The drinks will be flowing for FREE before midnight, and if you shoot a txt message to 407-394-9527 when you get to the club I can get you a complementary cover card!

Tonight, LA’s own, DJ Serafin joins us back in Orlando for one of the hottest “One off” events of the new year.
Turntable Invasion with your resident DJ, 19sixty and special guest DJ Deville.
*Knight Library* $2 Pitchers…$2 Shots…$2 Double Drinks til mid-knight!
You just got back from WMC in Miami, you have your nice tan from laying out and hitting up those pool parties each day, why not come out and show it off? What a perfect way to end a weekend from Heaven.
Honestly, tonight, Library is the place to be. Nights brought to you by 19sixty have currently been killing the rest of the night club scene in East Orlando. Along with his Wednesday night @ Knight Library, he is quickly turning around the “outting” scene into one of the best in years. Be at Library tonight and I promise you wont be disappointed.
Once you are done partying it up tonight @ Library, make sure to get right back up and do it again tomorrow for Where to be Wednesdays with 19Sixty. This is the best party on a Wednesday night, hands down. No questions asked. Do not pass go, do not collect $100.
Crazy Drink specials! Do not miss this night , trust me. Where else can you get free bottled beer until midnight? Srsly.

Hey, Brian ‘Docta’ Dawe!
This….is a cell phone! (Yours actually!!)
People use them to make and recieve phone calls, or maybe send a text message or two.
You might hear a 30 second jingle come out of your phone with someones name come across the screen sometimes or maybe a random number, that noise, means your phone is ringing!
When that happens you’ll want to slide the button UP on your Instinct to ANSWER the call.
Now, perhaps you were taking a shat, shaving your taint, or trying to find a bandana to match your outfit for the evening, in which a “missed call” would occur.
In the occurrence of a missed call, after you’re done putting on your Gucci Bandana, you will hit the “view” button and return the missed call that you received.
Now, I know this may be a new thing for you but its ok, that’s why I posted this tutorial for you. I know all of us might not be a 19 year old girl trying to fuck the DJ but we do our best to get up there on the totem pole.
I hope this clears up some confusion you may have with your high tech device that, according to the people posting on your facebook or myspace, you just can’t seem to figure out how to use.
NICE DICK.
