Don't Want No Short Dick Man!

RIGHT? RIGHT! More on that later. So again apologies for being MIA yet again...but I was in Brooklyn and NYC since Thursday and even though I took my laptop with me, I did not have enough time for posting while I was there. I did however have enough time for seeing some really great music which this post will be about.

So Thursday eve went to the Fools Gold party which was Sinden, A-Trak, Kid Cudi, Steve Aoki, Nick Catchdubs and Sammy Bananas...I am going to this show here in SF Saturday so will do a comparison Sunday at some point.

What really needs to be talked about is my adventure Saturday evening at Le Royale. It just so happened that Xavier De Rosnay (one half of Justice) was doing a DJ set. I had mentioned this to two of my friends who genuinely seemed interested in checking the show out. One never returned a text...not a surprise and the other had the option of potentially getting laid so they opted for that...totally understandable. However before I got the "I'm blowing you off to get laid" text I was already on my way to Le Royale assuming they would show. Once I got the text I thought well I am pretty close should I still go? I was a little nervous because I had yet to go to a club by my lonesome in NYC and wasn't sure if it would be similar to SF where making dance floor friends is as easy as 1, 2, 3! Having had 2 cocktails in me, I thought what the fuck? I have nothing to lose and I really wanted to dance.

So I get to the door and there are a bunch of people in line and it's not moving. I ask the people in front of me if I was fucked if I didn't have a ticket and they pretty much said yeah. However since I was by myself, looking pretty sassy and there was a dude manning the door, I figured I could somehow sneak my way inside. There were 2 drunk guys getting in the doorman's face quite literally and the doorman was not having it. I started to panic thinking I am FUCKED! These guys are ruining it for me! Just as I was about to get out of line, some random dude asked if anyone needed a ticket. I jumped up and down in the same manner kids used to when they heard Miss Nancy from Romper Room call their name through her magic mirror...sadly drizzholleringirl never had her name called :(...enough of the painful childhood memories...Anyway, I was stoked and he only asked for face which was even better.

As I walked into the club I was literally slapped with the smell of cigarettes, wine, garlic and BO...Tre Bien! The french contingency is here reprazentin'! I should have expected it. One thing quite different about SF & NYC is the eurotrash that seeps through most dance floors . They're everywhere in NYC and only in SF June through October. Good people watching for sure. The smell was sooo overwhelming though that I needed to pound 2 cocktails back to back. I went upstairs where Xavy was set to spin. Met some nice folks who were looking to move to SF. I told them we should switch apartments ;) One of the guys noticed Xavy was setting up so we all chasaed to the dance floor. No really we did.

Let's talk about the dance floor. People seem to forget that a dance floor is made for dancing yes? And when you dance it means you move. And when you move, you are likely to bump into others. And when you do, you smile and acknowledge them as you are having just as good of a time as they are. And then everyone is happy and enjoys their time. You would think that's how it goes. Well there are always people who have never taken dance floor etiquette 101. I have a doctorate in this field and graduated magna cum laude so there is no trying to prove me wrong here. Seriously who throws bows in your back because your ass is touching them? MOVE then! No one is forcing you to stand here...and for that matter why the fuck are you STANDING on the dance floor??? It's not what it's made for!!! So me and this dude were about to throw down as I firmly told him it was not necessary for him to dig his elbows in my spine. Since he didn't seem to want to listen, instinctively I did what only this SF girl could think of doing to make peace...I pulled out a j and asked him if he smoked...30 seconds later we were BFFs. He ended up being a really nice guy and apologized for his idiocy. He introduced me to his pals and we had a nice little crew. For the next 2.5 hours we danced our asses off! I mean I did not leave to get a cocktail Xavy's set was soo good...even with him smoking cigs his set was still amazing! The five of us were soaking wet by the end of the night. It looked like I had showered with my clothes on. I haven't done that in a long time! I was happy I took the plunge and was totally successful!

You'll be ecstatic to know that I found Justice's Dj Set for Fader and it's very similar to what Xavy played Sat eve. This is a nice segway to the title of this post...if you go to 6:02 of the mix...Xavy brings in one of my favorite tracks that I forget who it is, everyone uses it...it's an amazing electro beat that gets everyones arms up and asses shaking...Xavy played that track layered with the vocals of don't want no short dick man...the crowd went bananas...Although I don't think the guys I was with liked the fact that I knew the words and kept singing it to them...oops ;) Unfortunately there is no track listing, BUT this set is a good mix of club tracks that includes extended remixes of Justice songs and the very last track makes you wish the set didn't stop. If you want a little taste of my saturday night adventure...download this mix! Enjoy!

P.S.--Shit I just had a flashback to the evening...Oh Xavy, you genius! Do you know what he followed with after the Don't Want No Short Dick Man track??? This track...C the Baddest B...I thought of you and our taking over the right side of the dance floor days ;)
