Download Jay Tripwire Live at NiteLite

I have finally archived two sets I managed to record live at NiteLite this year. First up is Jay Tripwire from our One Year Anniversary Party in September. Jay killed it with his unrelentingly deep bodygrooves. These are my tiny THANK YOU presents to all who've supported NewCityMovement in 2008.

Burton Goes Digital

New Tim Burton trailer for "9" looks amusing.

12 Days Of Blackness

I found a delightful array of BLACK shiny objects to compliment my disdain for the holidays at TriFecTa's newly modeled establishment at 409 N. 300 W. Black-on-black playing cards, delicious candles, jewelry and cute forest animal shot glasses are worth a look, especially for 20% off during their 12 days till Xmas sale. Support this local business. Give them your money. Visit Tfadesign.com for more.

Social Experiment Homework

This cartoon brings to light an interesting social experiment proposed by Tom Ackerman. What if those who cannot be unionized stopped recognizing traditional marriage? Even if only in a cultural sense, the experiment proves a great way to get others to understand the need for equality. (Thanks Roger)

Liberties Under Fire

In celebration of and in collaboration with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Utah, in honor of their 50 years of advocacy in defending civil liberties, the Salt Lake Art Center has organized Liberties Under Fire featuring artwork by five artists who depict or suggest pivotal civil liberties issues identified by the ACLU of Utah including: Abuse of Power, Church and State, LGBT issues, Racial Justice and Torture, Imprisonment, and War. (Above: Kara Walker, Crest of Pine Mountain, Where General Polk Fell, Harper's Pictorial History of the Civil War, 2005) At the Salt Lake Art Center through Jan 18th.

On The Street

If wish you lived in New York for the street fashion alone then Bill Cunningham's weekly 'On The Street' feature at the New York Times website will tickle you're fancy. It's become an office favorite because of his fabulous voice and queeny commentary.

Come Together Right Now

The Salt Lake Gallery Stroll continues to morph and energize the city each month. This is a photo of my bow-tie wearing drunk ass from last Fridays event at FICE, which like the other shops around the 2nd South & Broadway block were brimming with youthful energy. A wonderful sight indeed.

NiteLite Presents JOE DIPADOVA (Montreal, Canada) Dec 20th @ W. Lounge

Joe DiPadova (de-PAH-de-vah) performs from coast to coast, frequently playing the very best parties with the worlds best djs at his side. Quickly building a worldwide reputation as one of Global Soul's young rising stars, Joe's adept combination of DJ and music production talent, coupled with a kind, down-to-earth nature have helped him garner the respect and friendship of not only the many people deeply involved with dance music music, but of crowds across North America.

Apart from DJing and production, one of the largest manifestations of his musical vision has come through event promotion, including his ongoing event in Phoenix called ONE (One People, One Soul, One Love). At this gathering, DiPadova brings together people of all color and sexual orientation through a common spool of thread - expression through dance and love of music.

With eye on the forefathers of the past and an ear to the progression of the future, Joe DiPadova has become a disciple through music, serving to make positive change via rhythm & dance. Whether it's through his deep and introspective productions or his music selections in Disco, Funk, Soul, Jazz & Techno based dance music with African and Latin rhythms, DiPadova's vocabulary in music transcends generations, continents and consciousness while interweaving gatherings of people into one elevated symposium of dance.
