If you don’t have the Kid Sister album by now you ain’t no friend of mine. As most of you know I executive-produced Ultraviolet, her début album which came out in November. You can still grab it of course, and redeem your friendship.
But I digress. She’s currently touring America. Go check her out!
And the long-awaited Kid Sister album Ultraviolet is also available now! Executive-produced by yours truly. CD is in stores and of course you can cop it on iTunes.
Fresh from some VMA red carpet stunting this weekend, Kid Sister’s back on iTunes with the official release of her “Right Hand Hi” single.
Buy it here, and also be sure to pick up the two excellent remixes from Kingdom and Kill The Noise. Big! As a treat, here’s a download of the Kingdom mix courtesy of our pals at RCRD LBL.
The “Right Hand Hi” video, more remixes, and info on Kid Sister’s album Ultraviolet are all on their way verrrrrry soon…
Caught up with Fader TV at the B-Live show in Charlotte, spoke about the Kid Sister album and made some blogging promises. WATCH THIS: when I jumped off the table in the opening segment, the whole table tipped over and I had to catch it from falling into the crowd. You can see it for a fraction of a second (0:21).
Last week I went back to New York for a few days for the mtvU Woodies. I was DJing the event and they also had me announcing one of the categories with Kid Sister. For those who aren’t familiar (get familiar), the Woodies are MTV’s award show for lumberjacks and carpenters. No, no, that’s a bad joke. It’s an award show for bands who “sell wood,” i.e. cool stuff for college kids! It was at Roseland Ballroom, and I basically spent the whole day there Wednesday. They had me doing interviews in the afternoon, including this virtual thing that I didn’t really understand until I got there. In fact it was a bona fide chat room! There was a Dell laptop with a virtual A-Trak character (I could pick the clothes) and I went into a “party” and talked to people. I realize that I sound like a grandma right now but I was completely out of my element. It was pretty funny still. I think my favorite thing about award shows is the seating: in the afternoon they have pictures of the “celebrities” to mark their seats. I was meant to sit next to Debbie Harry and Moby but I never actually saw them at the seats. Anyway, I was DJing a lot of the time.
Last week I came back from a weekend of shows with a cold and a busted computer and hard drive, determined to get things straightened out. So I went to this Apple service center here in Paris (they don’t have official Apple stores) and they told me it would take 10 to 15 days to swap my motherboard. I thought “I’ll show YOU a motherboard” (I don’t know what that means) and I said “non merci.” For a minute I even considered going to London to get it fixed. Thank goodness I know a few people at Apple in the US and they got me in the right hands in Paris. That simplified things quite a bit.
Last week I finally arrived in Paris to settle in for my six week stay here. I’m doing a house swap with the DJ Mehdi & Fafi household. They’ve already been living at my spot in BK for a few weeks while I was finishing up these tours, which made me homeless for a hot second. Right as I landed from Japan I got an invitation to dinner with my favorite living-dead (and new neighbor) Kavinsky, permanent dresser-in-black Sebastian and their respective female companions. A swift reminder that Parisians are prone to social meals and, as the food was served, that this is a great destination for a fine palate like myself. I walked home seemingly ready for a good night’s rest after essentially circling the globe. Hah. I guess I underestimated the formidable power of jetlag. 6am monday morning, I was up.
