Add this to the DVD wishlist: Stax documentary

January 04th, 2009

This came out in 2007. I remember when I was on tour with Kanye on the Touch The Sky tour, we rolled through Memphis and some of the guys went to the Stax museum at their old studio and brought back this movie. We watched it on the tour bus. I don’t remember why I didn’t go to the museum myself. I do remember that Ye also had an afterparty in Memphis and me & GLC invited Juicy J to come kick it with us, and he did! He came with his boy Computer, that’s the dude who would do all things computer-related for Three 6. Computer taught me the expression “snow bunny” that night. But I digress. We’re talking about Stax here.

PBS presents Respect Yourself: The Stax Records Story, which highlights the rise of Stax Records, death of Otis Reading, and the seizure of the entire Stax catalog by Atlantic Records, the label’s eventual recovery, and Isaac Hayes’ rise to stardom. (RIP)

Abbey Road, Touch the Sky tour

October 12th, 2005

Re-Extra-extra: this is a new update but I’m leaving the call for submissions up here. So don’t trip and read below, party people.

Call for submissions! I’m starting to plan a North American tour in February to promote the release of my DVD. I’m looking for somebody to do visuals on this tour. Obviously this would entail being on the road, I’d say for a good 3-4 weeks. And I’m looking for someone who understands the aesthetic that I’ve been working with in my projects so far, who has experience doing visuals for live shows and who can bring lots of creativity to the show. Please email me your submissions (info@djatrak.com). Thanks.

And now, back to our bidness. First of all, I know it’s been a minute since the last minute. You’ll have to excuse me — the Kanye tour starts tomorrow and it’s been pretty insane in the last couple of weeks, trying to get ready and finish a bunch of work before hitting the road. I’m really excited though.
