DJ Robot E. Lee: Unplugged
No, I’m not trying to start an acoustic DJ night…
My shit actually got unplugged on Friday during my DJ set, not once but TWICE!
I’m still trying to piece together what happened, but apparently these two weirdo drunk out-of-town dudes were fucking around near my power outlet that ALL my gear was plugged into. I’m not sure if it was done intentionally or if it was due to...

interesting google facts.
so i posted something recently about a certain dude who shared my name.
when i googled this fellow, i quickly realized something a little scary. MY blog popped up at the top of page two. OOPS.
so then i googled my name and then the word “blog”… i was the first result.
SHIT.
you see, i’ve always relied on a bit of anonymity due to the common nature of my name. ...
booksarebetterthanboys asked: I was at Pitchfork on Sunday and I thought I saw you at least three times and was completely prepared for the awkward 'I know you from the internet' introductions...each time as I got close enough I realized it was some other bearded bespectacled fellow. Terribly disappointing.

"GO PHILS!"
As I walk into the hotel, a young man looks me directly in the eye and exclaims this. I immediately think, “What the fuck? How does this man know my name?” Secondly, I think “Okay, so even if he DOES know my name - why is he celebrating all of the people named Phil? Is his name Phil too?” I quickly walk past him, nodding, but confused.
I’m baffled. What’s...
best work trip... ever?
i added the question mark because, well… i’m here for another two days. but so far, holy shit.. chicago, you rule.
every time i come here, i want to live here a little more. i think, however, my opinion is shaped entirely by the fact that i have never seen a chicago winter. i’m sure my tune would change slightly. but in the meantime, goddamn.. i love this city.
we got...

sorry for the DISAPPEARING ACT, y’all.
while i was traveling through the vast woodlands of the smoky mountains, i understood why i wasn’t getting any AT&T signal for most of my travels. however, i was a little irked.. okay, A LOT irked… that during ALMOST ALL of our trek down I-95 through the carolinas and on the quite civilized island of hilton head, there was barely any...

Watchthroughout our trip to the smoky mountains, lauren and i shot various videos - a lot of us driving along windy mountain roads. i put some of the footage together and added some music and i’m quite happy with the outcome.
people who don’t like videos of windy mountain roads should probably avoid this altogether.
