The Herbert Hollar

Herbert's Heard
Lots of really good, new hip-hop on the radio. Most from the South. But ... that new Nas??? What??? Somebody tell me what sample he uses in the beginning--I forget. Wait a minute ... who the hell is this? Is this? Is that? Snoop? Oh my goodness. Camillo's killing me right now! As long as he doesn't put on that new Anthony Hamilton joint. Then I'm going to cry.

Word To Herbert
I'm almost there, y'all. I'm almost in that little place we call the loony bin! But ... I won't tell why. I won't tell you what it is that's putting me there. Though I should, because getting things off your chest is good for mental clarity and all-around coping, but ... for dramatic purposes ... I won't. For the purpose of keeping "The Herbert Holler" the #1 New York City nightlife and music guide in town, the greatest piece of ... spam (hahah) to hit your inbox since ... since ...the one that says "Come watch me and my friends masturbating with chocolate chip cookies" ... I'll hold off for now.

See what I do for you?

Last week's Freedom party was crazy. I was dealing with the onset of a bad cold, and dealing with no Cosi (whom you all know is the other guy behind the wheels who I tag-team with), and dealing with prolly 450 people, and 5 birthdays and 1 going-away party and a line of people asking me for ... Ready for the World (wait ...that's not too bad), not-to-mention this thing coming up, so I was crazy. Sucking on Cold Eeeze's and sweating profusely and shielding party-goers and talkin' it up on the mic and it was nuts. Big shout out to my partner DJ Marc Smooth for ironing out the wrinkles and Stone Jackson at the door for keeping it tight. Big shout out to the legion of deejays that came thru: Dallas Green (Happy Birthday, doggy), Dred Preda, M.O.S. of the Ransom Reps, Obah, Boodhakan, Neil Nice (you're not allowed to talk to the deejay next time) and the others who I forget now.

They've re-done the spot, too. Made it real nice-like. Really sexy, with bordello reds and seductive blacks, and a subwoofer for good measure. bass is crazy right now, so get down there ASAP and stop trying to get into Table 50. It's really not that great. (Just kidding. It's a nice place, and they got some great events and good deejays, so you should go. And then afterwards come to Freedom. cuz we're freaking 10 times better!!)

So ... I had my new Ping irons, a new Ping driver, I was smacking the 6-iron about 170 yards consistently on the driving range, and then I finally got a chance to hit the links with Uncle Mel! And I was horrible! I had about 2 pars and the rest were 7s. Ew, son. Ew. My old teammate Nate is prolly reading this right now and laughing. Yeah. laugh it up, Cohen! We'll see who has the last laugh! We'll See!!

(I'm throwing my clubs out.)

Love (is in the air),

DJ Herbert

P.S. -- There is a VERY disturbing perfume commercial I've been hearing on Hot 97. It's really f-d up. It sounds like a very, very too-young girl in the heat of some romantic moment, and there's all this breathing and subliminal messages and stuff and it kind of really turned my stomach. You heard it?
P.P.S. -- Big shout to I.Emerge from the 5th Platoon. Officially #1 on the planet!
P.P.P.S. -- Happy (Belated) Birthday, Luck!
P.P.P.P.S. -- You suck at ping-pong, Yoav!
