I'm Spinning Around....

Yup, it's Thursday, so I'm going into shameless self-promoting mode to let you all know that I'm DJing at Parkade tonight. It's the usual 4-6pm slot, probably overrun and theres no set theme tonight, so expect anything and everything as I feel like a bit of a rummage through the new stuff I've been getting and as I've been getting lots of different stuff, I thought I'd treat you all to a mixed (record) bag.

If Music Is the Food of Love...

...Get Stuffed!!!. This is just a 'lil hour or so Trance mix that I did at the Purgatory club the other night as part of a guest mix slot for Angi Fargis. It's pretty euphoric so if you like your trance, you'll probably like this.

On the subject of mixes etc., I crashed out of the 'Battle of the DJs' competiton being held in SL on Sunday night. I made it as far as the semi finals, but I was drawn up against the 'hot favourite'. Now, not one to get embroiled in speculation etc. but the 'hot favourite' has actually been tipped to win this competition since it's start waaay back in June. It's been pointed out to me by several leading figures in the SL DJing community that this DJ battle has been rigged from the start and that the 'hot favourite' is destined to win, no matter who he faces in competition and how good they are. Several people have argued with the competition organiser about this and other elements of his organisational skills (or lack thereof) and have had the decisions against them reversed, i.e. they suddenly lost, despite being claimed as winners of rounds etc. Some merely walked out of the competition altogether. The reputation of the organiser (who has had at least one account terminated by LL) is now in shreds within the respectable side of the SL DJ community, of which I'm glad to say I fall in to (apparently I'm very well respected, which is nice). I also have my doubts about the actual validity of the 'hot favourite' and his live mixing skills and I'm convinced that he actually premixed his sets for a German online radio station and then just played them in the competition. They had Dj idents at regular intervals, were completely flawless (suggesting that he was using something like Ableton Live, to construct the sets) and when he faded the last track out halfway through, that was a dead givaway. Good luck to him and the organiser, they'll need it. I'm sure they're splitting the prize money too ;)

I've been accused of being a bad loser and being bitter about this when I voiced my opinions to the organiser, which simply isn't true. I don't mind being beaten, I just prefer it when the playing field is level, even and we're all given the same chance.

Sorry for the rant, anyway, enjoy the music ;)

Say Cheese!!!

Okies, I promised some photos and here they are...


The 'Drift Queen' at her workshop (Underground Resistance, Ride)



Me and my luvverly pink Madza RX-7 (Mmmmm, sexiest car in existence)



My Lamborghini Gallardo (Stick yer Ferraris)



Mercedes S-Class (Because every girl should travel in style sometimes)



My Supra (Fast AND Furious baby, Yeah!!!)



Taking a break from decorating the old beach house...



The campsite at 'SecondFest' earlier this year (not a noob in site!!)



Soaking up the rays and atmosphere at SecondFest 2007 (note, lack of wellies = not a real festival)



My entry for the Dark Eden 'Girl of the Month' in October (next time, I'm taking pics with the guns too...)

I've been meaning to post some of those for ages and have more from SecondFest that might make it onto these pages at some point... I also have a LOT more cars than that, but couldn't be bothered to snap 'em all at the moment... I don't think my CyberAngel look will be enough to get me into October's Dark Eden competition, but we'll see... It's a look I like and it'd make a superb RPG outfit, especially with the firearms holstered to the thighs... Hmmm, definitely another photoshoot coming up and I might ask one of Veyron's friends to go all Photoshop on it afterwards...

Bad Amanda, Bad!!!

I can't help it!!! I see a car I like and I buy it!!! Well, to be accurate, 2 cars.

I made the mistake of going to the MotorCity sim and saw a couple of sculptie cars that actually looked half decent. So, the glitzy, glam, showbiz celeb type girl in me bought a smart looking Mercedes Benz S Class copy, which is very nice indeed, trés opulent etc. and the racer, glam, flashy DJ babe in me bought a pink Lamborghini Gallardo clone... I'm terrible!!!

I think tomorrow will be a monster pic posting session...

P is for...

Pownce!!! Thanks to the lovely Veyron, I'm now on Pownce too, although I'm too stoopid to work out how to link it from here as a feed at the moment... I've sent a couple of friend requests to Vint n' Zoe (so if you're reading this girls, you know who it is) and I have some invites if anyone out there wants them? Just leave a comment if ya do.

Pontiac projects are up in the air again due to texture issues with the original item, so thumbs are engaged back into 'twiddle' mode at the moment.

At least the jetlag has gone anyway and I'm back in my usual nocturnal mode ;)

I *think* it's the semi-final round of the Battle of the DJs this Sunday, although the competiton has no real relevance any more as it's turned into a total and utter farce. By rights, I should pull out as I've been told enough incriminating stuff about it to make me realise that it's all rigged and that I don't stand a snowball in hells chance of winning, although I've also been told that I really ought to win as I'm apparently a shit hot DJ too... I did a special guest mix at the Purgatory club last night, which I recorded, so I'll be putting a link to that for download soon-ish.

Anyway, not much else happening around these parts... I'm not sure how much of a blow the VAT issue is going to be for Sadie buying the sim, we'll have to do some more investigation and whatnot. Grrrr @ LL etc. :(

Oh and if anyone out there knows how to add the Pownce stuff on Blogger, please let me know... Webby things never were my strong point.

Normal Service Will Resume Shortly...

Apologies for the hooj delays in updating this thing, but last week I wound up jumping on a plane and heading to Sin City for a long weekend and I'm still recovering from landing yesterday... It's true, Vegas is open 25 hours a day :o

Anyway, once I'm back in the swing of all things SL, I'm sure I'll be updating more. DJing tonight, hopefully some cool promo stuff happening soon with Pontiac (I've been banging on about it for weeks now) and also the possibility to get all Sheepish too, but we'll see...

Oh and I'm on Spock too, usual name applies, so if you are too, add me etc. :D

Apparently...

...I'm a Dork :D
