The Herbert Hollar

Word To Herbert
I did a good job of scaring the cr*p out of myself this Halloween with enough horror flicks to last the year. Even my little shorty had some problems sleeping. She woke me up the other night and told me I was snoring so loud, it sounded like a chainsaw and reminded her of Leatherface and she couldn't sleep. And then seeing "Amityville Horror" didn't help, espcially since we're about to move into a new pre-War home in a historic section of Brooklyn (here I go). There's gotta be some haunted places around there, too. Maybe I can put in a "Paranormal Inspection Clause" which will allow me to get the place checked out by professionals. Should it be haunted, the owner will have to pay for the exorcism.

Can you imagine, sitting on the toilet in your new aparmtent, and some freaky voice yells "get out!!!!"? How freaked would you be? Would you wipe or just run?)

Friday at Freedom was dope ... of course. Big shout to Neil Nice from Ecko and Joe Eleven from the Rub (this Saturday at Southpaw), and all the fine fun-ready folks that piled in. Bigger and better things are on the way, so stay tuned. And a big pat on the back to Mickey Dread, Paul Diamond, Troy Kristoff and the rest of the team at Social Club for hosting what might have been one of the best parties in the last 5 years for the crew. It was packed, it was crazy, I got to play Marvin Gaye, and it didn't stop till 4 in the am, which was really 5 cuz the clocks got set back. And of course, I got my dose of "Thriller" when some mummies and transvestites got up on the vip booth and did the video dances. Big shout to SNATCH ONE from Da Union for coming through and listening to the kid and prolly running home and practicing my mixes he just heard! BASTID!

Now ... how about Jay-Z and R. Kelly, huh? Is Mr. Carter cursed or what? This is the second time around their album and world tour are gonna be all messed up cuz of the "Are-a." The first time, R.'s home-made videos got out. And now he's got some personal, hissy-fit problems? Do I have this right? Somebody lemme know. (Hey miss pilgrim -- holler at me now. I gotta tell you something.)

Speaking of curses, I'm going to settle on my official way for writing curses in this email. I'm going to use the "*" to blot out some letters so technically it's not a curse, but you get the point. That way, I avoid problems with companies blocking correspondence due to "sensitive text," and I avoid insulting those that do not want to read my filthy mouth. But what kind of a**hole motherf**ker piece of dogsh*t has a problem these days with hearing some good ol' f**king American street slang? They're just adjectives and adverbs after all ... d**kheads!

Peace, love, light, good health,

DJ Herbert
