J Dilla Takes Over 90.5FM

Posted by Dj RaYz On April - 1 - 2009

Today J Dilla came back from the dead and took over our radio show “Morning Sickness 2.0″. Dilla was hooked up to the Jesus machine and was brought back to life for 4 hours. If you got a chance to tune into 90.5FM between 6-10am today there is a really good chance you might have been listening to J Dilla.

Since I realize smart people read this blog, you were probably quick to realize that my post about “My most Precious Secrets” was all an April Fools Joke along with Dilla coming back to life. Although J Dilla isn’t here physically he left us some really cool music to play.

If you were tuned in today and was wondering what Dilla played it involved these 3 albums:

Putting Up The Keys

Posted by Dj RaYz On March - 18 - 2009

This year I played it real smart and super safe. I was reflecting back on my life and realized that 5 of my friends got DUI’s from Downtown San Jose and they are going thru a really crazy process with lawyers, paperwork, etc. A DUI is totally not the business and…

St. Patrick’s day actually helped me realize the following things:

1.) I have two legs, so why not use them…
I need to get more active so why not start on St. Patties day and start walking! I went into google maps and saw that walking from my house to downtown SJ is only 4.7 miles which will take 1.5 hours.

2.) I can’t get a DUI if I can’t drive…
Another cool benefit of walking is that I can’t get a DUI. I will be able to freely bar hop and drink until last call without the fear or thought of getting pulled over.

3.) All that walking just burned most of the calories in my alcohol…
3 Pints of Sierra Nevada is about 525 calories. Walking 1.5 hours burns 454 calories. So all together I net around 71 calories.

4.) No parking tickets!
I was able to spare the tickets or battles with meter maids this year. On top of that I didn’t have to worry about finding places to park around downtown.

5.) Opportunity for cool pictures…
I never realized all the cool places I passed by when I drove. I had a lot more time to look around and snap some really cool photos with my iPhone. Check the gallery below.

All in all, I had a blast being responsible and celebrating the irish holiday downtown. I never realized how cool walking could be!

Filming Music Video

Posted by Dj RaYz On March - 14 - 2009

sony-hdr-fx7This Sunday I have been asked to film a music video for an up and coming rapper named Eaze from the Bay Area. I have been real fortunate to have borrowed a very nice Sony HDR-FX7 camera that shoots in HD!

I’ll be blasting updates & pics all day on twitter to let you know what I am eating, filming, seeing, etc…

You might have heard the word twitter tossed around in conversations, tv shows, movies, etc. You might also be scratching your head as to what it really is. Well, instead of demanding you sign up and follow me, I’d rather post an educational video about what Twitter is about and let nature take its course.

This video is very well done and breaks it down for people not to familiar with Twitter:
