R.I.P. Evan Tanner

tanner_profile R.I.P. Evan Tanner

On a personal note, I tried my hand at boxing once again late last year. The decision was 100% inspired by Evan Tanner. Sharing now and then exchanges which I’ve never confessed to hardly anyone in my life, I don’t think I can even begin to describe how devastating it is to hear he was found dead this afternoon. But I was very fortunate to have those exchanges at all. He left a trail of amazing accomplishments. Sorely missed.

“It is a shame that in this society we’ve been taught to judge a man’s worth by what he owns instead of who he is. Everything is surface, and so few look beyond it. A man will sell his soul, he will lie, cheat and steal, for money. If he has it, he can buy respect. Wear the right clothes, drive the right car, have the right friends, that’s all that matters. Our lives are consumed in a selfish, self absorbed quest for possessions, the latest and the best in a never-ending cycle until the day we die. We forget what it means to be truly human. We forget the things that really matter. We lose the magic of what life should be.

I won’t live by rules that make no sense to me.”

Rest In Peace, Evan.

Progress Report

lpa_thesmilingseacaptain Progress Report

Jeez, that was quite a vacation, wasn’t it? Anyhoo, I’ll be resuming activity on here soon. I’m in the home stretch with the EP. It’s sounding pretty great thus far and will be recording the last bits tomorrow and the next few days. Then it’s on to piecing this big monster together. So far, so good. I haven’t listened to any music except “Sweetest Girl” by Wyclef on repeat and that song came out last year I think. Oh well. See you all soon!

Where’d You Go?

sea_captain_cu_j Whered You Go?

Ladies and gentlemen, it’s summer. And in Buffalo, that lasts maybe like 2 weeks. So lately, I’ve been enjoying eating outside and I bought a yacht (lie) to boat across Lake Ontario and declare war on Canada.

Shill: MONEY$NAKE

picture-1 Shill: MONEY$NAKE

Continuing on with today’s unrelated to MP3s or music posts, Dirty Agency officially endorses MONEY$NAKE as its message board of choice. Good friend / often collaborator / mentor, Frank is currently running this board which is pretty much about nothing at all. This makes it full of potential to be completely inappropriate and do the trolling that the internet has meant to be about since the beginning of time. Besides, I’ve posted an exclusive remix to the board that is sure to make you absolutely sick to your stomach. Go!

I have to admit, I’m pretty impressed with myself right now. It’s not often I build something of such sheer awesomeness that I feel the need to go on the internet and be like HOLY SHIT DUDE! But seriously, I’ve been a little lax lately while I’ve been setting up this beast in my studio. More on this mess and gear listing after the jump.

Hello Buff Male Saxophone Fans

It has come to my attention that the top search leading to my website has to do with people searching for buff men playing the saxohphone. No shit! Welcome, perverts.

Hello

me

That’s me. I look like a serial killer / weather man. Take a good look at this face because one day you may need to report it to the police / give a description of a missing weather man.

This is the new Dirty Agency. I used to blog about bicycles and shitty people. I can’t say I’ll stop doing that but you’re probably going to read mostly about music, mixes, yadda yadda…

I go under the “DJ” name of NSFW. I’ve DJed like twice. Somebody fix that. I’m mostly producing originals, mixes, remixes, reremixes, reimaginedmixes out of my studio in good ole Buffalo, NY.

Let’s see here… what else? I used to run an art space called Kitchen Distribution with some friends and now I cashed in all that wonderful networking and adventurous lifestyle for furthering my career in retail. Just kidding……. right?

Enjoy.
