Dro's new band: The Strangeways

So, Im flippin around on myspace classifieds and I see an ad that says,"band needs a singer. Check out our page to hear the instrumentals". Ive been looking for a band for good minute now and when I saw this I immediately clicked up their spot. I heard the instrumentals and went nuts!! within a week I had written/recorded songs to all four tracks they put up. I got their email addy and sent them what I had done. It took em like a week to get back. but Kurt (bass, keyboards, guitar) called and said its a go.

The band is currently writing/recording the debut album. We're called The Strangeways. there's three of the songs we've done at www.myspace.com/drothelastmusic check it out!!

George Bush Shoe Attack

This Iraqi dude has balls o'steel. He risked his life to throw his shoes at the "W". I gotta respect that cuz I wouldnt have done it!! I admire it actually. I was rolling when I saw this... Listen to the Iraqi shoe hurler grunt obsenities as he's trying to aim for Bush. fuckin' hilarious. Then listen to GWB try to discuss foreign important shit but he keeps going back to the shoe incident cuz he's shook. Shit's funny check it out.

Taja Reign Drops her first singe!! WTF?

My 5 year old daughter came to Las Vegas to visit her REAL DADDY for a whole week at the beginning of this month. We had a great time together on MY terms for once. Anyhow, we went to a carnival, rode ponies and drank lemonade. We even went to this science museum for kids. But the highlight of the visit was the song she put down over here! I have a studio here in my room so of course she was curious about what Im always doing on the computer. I showed her a couple bells & whistles and as soon as she figured that we can record a song she looked at me and calmly said, "Daddy, I wanna sing"....uh...Nuff said, I wrote a silly little song for her in like 10 minutes and picked out a rockish kinda pop track from the Dro the Last database and 15 minutes later we were recording 'dance till you make it'.

The reviews from her California fan base (30 five & six year olds and her mom) says to take it to Disney! Imagine that. My daughter on some Miley Cyrus shit. That would bring great understanding to the purpose of my life & talents for once:) but only if she wants to though. We'lle see.

Running Into You Video. Finally.

Shot the video last year around this time and after all the bullshit with the footage , editing and what not, Its finally here! The shoot itself was kinda shaky at first but when everybody involved sank into their roles the whole scene got fun. It took like 11 hrs to shoot. The lead chick was a real trooper. She stayed for the whole 11 hrs and then some:) After the shoot, some cats from Jump Off Urban & myself treated the cast & crew to some late night chicken & waffles @ Roscoes. Although everything didnt go as planned we still had great time doing this video. Click on the picture in this blog and check it out for yourself. Lemme know what you think

Heroin?

Just got off work and I'm wondering if my cousin is really off heroin or not. My harsh, gutter experienced instincts say hell no but my hopes & wishes say yes. I named my cousin & was there at his birth. We were pretty close until his parents (my aunt & my uncle in law) moved to Las Vegas for better opportunities and more affordable housing. Over the last 13 years my cousin & I lost touch & grew apart some distance. In this meantime I had children, recorded an album, made beats, broke the law and a couple hearts, smoked some good weed and tried some harder drugs here & there but never have I fucked with any "H". I don't understand how this (see picture on the left) doesn't make you think twice about it. Not even the pictures though, what about the stories in the streets you hear bout people who reached all time human lows, reducing to scum & filth and eventually dying! Just a tad worried bout this situation because when I talk to him about it he acts like nothings wrong and we're just paranoid. lol like 80 years of scientific evidence and proof doesn't scream that THE SHIT WILL FUCK YOU OFF!! He's 23 and he's a man I suppose so I can't tell him what to do. Lord Baby Jesus, once again I call upon you to intervene with my cousins life and work your mysterious ways to remove this demonic shit off my cousin. I was just wondering if anyone out there knows how to stop someone from doing this?

1,000,000 Paces in the Darkness

1,000,000 paces in the darkness. Its the slogan I use to describe my life's journey. Who understands stumbling through dark tunnels and starving for light? Who knows about screaming as loud as you can and not a single soul hearing you? Who can empathize with bumping and lacerating your head on low blunt overhangs and spiked chandeliers? Not that your incapable of learning a lesson, but simply because there is no fucking light.

This darkness makes it where sprinting toward your goals is out of the question. Even walking too fast toward them seems to be detrimental to the cause. I've found that the best thing to do is walk as slow as you can! so the impacts aren't too severe.

What good is speed if the raceway is cluttered with scrap metal, strategically placed 1000 lb. ball bearings and wandering children playing ball?

Everything happens a lot slower in the dark. Maturity, wisdom, discernment, common sense: all develop with a molasses like slowness compared to the people in the light. Other people that dwell in the dark with me consist of: The Stranger, The Widow and The Fatherless. Sometimes late at night we all share sour stories with each other on how we almost got some light and contemplate ways to produce light ourselves (i.e. God, Jesus, Drugs etc.). But its all to no avail because we never get any light.

Not only is 1,000,000 Paces in the Darkness the way I dub life. Its the name of my debut album!
