GHETTOBLASTER #4: PERCEE P, ROC RAIDA, FRAGGLE ROCK?


- 2 weeks ago, I went to a cute but too small exhibit at the MUSEE ARTS DECORATIFS, entitled "Toy Comix". They had 20 artists create short comics based on their favorite toys, as well as create some amazing installations, such as the one above. There was also a very cool stamp collecton done by this guy. Pretty much in love.


-"CELLAR DOOR" at Palais de Tokyo. by LORIS GRÉAUD. first time an artist under 30 has taken over the entire space, a bit weird at times and scary, but awesome. He had neon lights flashing everywhere, along with bits of a strange dialogue/story I didn't quite pull together. Also, tons of sound as well as a huge forest bathed in a weird pink light, and surprise, paint ball!

So, I don't know. I guess I've just been going places and doing things, and those were my favorite things so far. We did go to the Geletin Group opening at the Museum of Modern Art, but while it was quite cool, some of it smelled bad and a fake handicapped man spilled wine on my nicest trench, so it was not the greatest experience (by fake handicapped man, I mean hat he fell out of his wheelchair, we helped him up, and then he proceeded to get up and grab a glass of wine to spill all over my friend and I).

Last night was the GhettoBlaster party! Who knew that Batofar was actually a boat. We got there just in time for Percee P of Stones Throw, who was pretty damn good but nothing beat the dance party when Roc Raida of X-ecutioners started djing. The boat was actually rocking at some points, which was awkward but really it's kind of cool just so someday you can say you were jamming to Roc Raida on a boat in Paris. At some point he played Wild Wild West, which everyone seemed to be really excited for (????)
