The boys on the cover of 'The Black and White' album stopped by The DL to show us Sweden's new national sport. It's a dangerous, take no prisoners game of concentration -- raw power like nothing you've seen before. If not properly trained, it can lead to blindness, low self-esteem and, in some cases, complete annihilation. In the end, only one will survive. At least that's how they pitched it to us. Who will rule the hive?

Starting it off back in '06, where i left off was at Cinespace when Complex Magazine, Wire Image and DKNY came in to bring a new band, UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF GIANTS... they headlined with LE REV supporting while Them Jeans, DJ AM and myself rocked the 1s and 2s in the front room.

Happy 2007. Check out my interview on The DL and a video we just finished editing from my debaucherous birthday party. Keep reading for the b-day video and don't forget to send me your mix for the Next On the Decks 2 contest if you want spin some parties with me.

there's something really amazing about this party at cinespace on tuesdays that we've been doing for the last almost 3 years that defies every lame thing that exists in LA. Hollywood is a very weird place... and can change people faster than most cities, at least from my knowledge, and not in the best ways either. dont get me wrong i love living here. i work here, in the day, at night, i live in the center of it and i love it. and honestly its because of this party that we throw on tuesdays and this new party that cobrasnake, dj am and i created for another "no bottle service" "no cologneheads" party that tries to bring back some SOUL into why we are doing the things we are doing, playing out the songs we are playing, and ultimately creating a world we want to be part of and make fucking awesome. i hate hearing other people give pep talks like this but i just want to give back to all the rad people that come to tuesdays and now sundays and are down to hear new music and new bands and make this thing we have really special. thank you.

starting it all off at our the dim mak cinespace tuesdays party and this one was super duper special for us because our newest signees Whitey performed their live show which was absolutely fucking stunning! Incredible! I adore this artist and have been a major fan of Whitey for a long time coming and now they came, all over everyone..

lets start it out with sexy time dora who is our supermodel postergirl of dim mak collection.

Three cheers for two very lucky Oasis fans who answered our trivia questions correctly and snatched the Noel Gallagher-autographed guitar and Oasis dartboard from our 'Stop the Clocks' giveaway.

Greg T. of Bridgeport, CT won the guitar
Justin V. from Penn State won the dartboard

Good luck prying the goods from our cold, dead hands. Congrats! Even if you didn't win the loot, you can still enjoy our gift to every Oasis fan -- Noel Gallagher's Interface performance and interview.

My tirade will be minimal this week. These photos will explain. I partied a bit hard for my birthday.

Don't forget to send me your mix for the Next On the Decks 2 contest if you want to play these kinds of parties.

More next week.

Steve.

In October, DJ Shadow challenged directors and/or fans to get creative and make a video for 'This Time.' Shadow got 200 submission and narrowed it down to just ten. It's worth checking them all out. It's interesting to see how differently people interpret visuals to the same song.

Vote for your favorite via NME, and the winner will become the "official" video. In a sense, ten good videos exist on the internet already, but it's up to you to help your fav director get props and get paid (hopefully). My favorites are Ségolène d'Herbécourt and Fabien Vantroys and Aaron Kopff.
