Erykah Badu strips naked at JFK assassination site in Dallas, Texas, for new 'Window Seat' video

FROM THE NY DAILY NEWS - I think this video is just amazing and has some valuable substance. You go Erykah :)

Erykah Badu's new album is taking a window seat to her controversial new video.

For her "Window Seat" music video, released Saturday, Badu strips as she walks down a Dallas sidewalk before collapsing naked near the spot where John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963.

The video was shot for Badu's new album, "New Amerykah Part Two: Return of the Ankh" without a crew in one take on March 17, according to her Twitter.

Badu says she was verbally harassed on the day of filming, though the taunts did not make the final cut.

"they were yelling, 'THIS IS A PUBLIC PLACE : YOU OUGHTA BE ASHAMED : PUT YOUR CLOTHES ON : DAMN GIRL! etc," she tweeted.

As the music video progresses, a naked Badu reaches Dealey Plaza and a gunshot rings out in the distance. Badu's head snaps back and the naked singer crumples to the floor.

Badu wrote that she was "too busy lookin for cops" to be shy about her nudity, though she was aware that children were around and “prayed they wouldn’t b traumatized.”

When the cameras stopped, Badu tweets that she and her cameraman fled.

According to the singer, she was speaking out against "groupthink," a psychological term referring to a group of people who sacrifice individuality in order to embrace collective thought and avoid conflict.

A Dallas Police spokeswoman told CNN that the songstress would not be charged for indecent exposure.

Badu's Tuesday morning post on Twitter appeared to ring true, "The butt naked truth is powerful America !!!!"

SURPRISE! MY NEW WEEKLY SET AT ENGINE STEAMPUNK DANCE CLUB

Well, my Monday in real life was sucky to the point I wanted to kill anyone and everyone. Load and behold, Jerrod IMs me and says he needs a DJ ASAP to help fill in for another spontaneous DJ that had RL issues. This was at maybe 7:30am this Monday morning SL time. I figured I was in such a horrible fucking mood that maybe DJing will make me fill better.

Well it did. I did a set at the new Engine Steampunk Dance Club, which is formally known as GearJammers and moved to a much better spot than where it was before. Most of the outdoors is under construction, but the club is fully loaded and ready. After a round of notices, the place packed up real well. I never knew there was such a good crowd on a Monday SL mourning. It was awesome and I have to thank DaddyAdam, Jerrod, and Teno for such an awesome job as Owners and Host for my set.

So in the end, I wound up with a new weekly gig. I am now set to DJ at Engine on Mondays from 7am - 9am SL Time. This place looks awesome and you should really check it out. I am very happy that they moved from the other spot. Will be a couple of days for the outdoor areas and other buildings to be set up nicely, but as I said the Club is fantastic.

Here is some pics of the party and place. Well back to that fuckin nightmare called Real Life!

This was at Arsenal this month and it is presented by AquA Lounge, Gay Zone Germany's Club Arsenal, and Warehouse Plaza's Ironworks.

I did not get to DJ in this installment, but all is good cause I need a break sometimes and I love hearing my fellow peers spin the decks. Great Job to all the DJs and Party Peeps!! What a wway to spend a Sunday for 12 hours sweating my butt off in a chair LOL!

Californians To Vote On Marijuana Legalization - My buddy found this article for me :)

This is something my buddy Eiagra showed me. Enjoy :)

Forget New York's proposal to raise the tax on cigarettes by $1 -- California lawmakers have a much cloudier political situation on their hands. Election officials confirmed yesterday that voters will get the chance to say yea or nay to legalizing and taxing marijuana in their state.

The initiative, known as the Regulate, Control and Tax Cannabis Act, is the result of a grassroots (yes, I said it) effort that gathered more than 500,000 signatures statewide.

Among the highlights (yep, did it again) are:

-Anyone age 21 and older would be allowed to possess up to one ounce of marijuana.

-They would also be permitted to grow up to 25 sq. ft. (5'x5') of pot per adult per household.

-Cities and counties would have the choice whether or not to enact laws legalizing the cultivation, transport, sale and taxation of marijuana.

Proponents say that this last point would be a boon to struggling local governments that have had to shed jobs and cut budgets in recent months.

They also believe that legalization would allow police to focus efforts on more serious crimes.

Meanwhile, those opposed to the initiative claim it would only lead to increased marijuana use and ultimately put more demands on law enforcement. "Neighborhoods feel very uncomfortable with these locations that have a lot of dope and a lot of cash," a lobbyist representing the California Police Chiefs Association said.

Yes, as long as it's taxed and only available to adults 84% (2,881 votes)

Yes, but with absolutely no regulations 8% (280 votes)

Only to people with specific medical needs 2% (85 votes)

It should remain illegal because it's harmful 3% (105 votes)

It should remain illegal because it's more fun that way 2% (75 votes)

Total Votes: 3,426

PLAYLIST UPDATED!!

Hello sexy world! Hope you all having a great Thursday. I just updated my playlist here on this site with music I am currently playing a lot at my sets. Some of them are not the exact same remixes I play, or some are the original versions. Anyways, enjoy the tunes as you read and browse my little blog here.

Hugs!

TUESDAY AFTERNOON SET AT MISTERAY

What do you get when you design a place of mystery, filled with smoke effects and set in a beautiful area on a secluded sim? Simple, you get Misteray! This place has such great ambiance as most underground NYC Lounges. I DJ here every now and then doing special parties that Raymond Martinek (the owner) sets up. Today was just to celebrate the Spring Equinox. There is a great sploder, nice peeps, and the dance machines are manoquin busts, one for male and one female, set with great Akeyo dances. Make sure you have your SL viewer set to midnight for the best effects. This place is realy awesome and some day I hope he makes it into a weekly club with great events :)

DANCING WITH MY HUBBY MOUNTAINBEAR WHILE I DJ @ THE HIDDEN DOOR!

He has been working really hard in RL, so I am always happy when he gets time to come online and be with me. Yeah I get sad when he is not around, but I know he is taking care of his RL stuff and that makes me happy. Plus absence makes the heart (and cum stockade) grow fonder LOL. Of course there is all the Yahoo and phone calls we do, but it is not the same as him loggin onto SL.

Love you Teddybear,
InsyX aka Your WoofMaster!

Here is a couple of pics from my set at Hidden Door. We had an awesome light show going on. It was on par with real life clubs, so I had to go trance and progressive tonight. Oh yeah Dru, my host, had the rain effects going so we all had some sort of wet clothing or, lack there is of, going on.

MY SUNDAY SEXY AMERICA DJ SET AT ARSENAL: GAY ZONE GERMANY

OMG!! The place got packed fast and the people were in total euphoria. I did not have any play list for the party and just mixed in every song on the fly, just based on what I felt each moment. It was the usual mix of Trance, house, progressive, top 40 remixed and rock to dance remix/remakes. I kept it fast paced for the 2.5 hour set. Oh, and I got to dance with one of my long time buds, BlueBear :)

We started at 12pm SL time this week due to the time change not affecting Europeans yet. This did not mater tho cause people came out in full force and I was just happy to provide some fun for a couple of hours amist the usual Sunday chores or work people were doing or done in RL. I really love DJing at Arsenal and at Gay Zone Germany events on a whole. Besides Ironwork's Oink and Gay World Thursday Night Themed Parties, Arsenal is also my longest running weekly set.

Remember though, Next week I will not be doing Sexy America due to DJ World's DJ Night #25 happing at Arsenal. 12 Hours 12DJs from 10am - 10pm SL Time. I love these and can't wait. I will however pick up where I left off with Arsenal the following week. :)

WOOHOO - WILL BE DJING AT AN EASTER EGG HUNT!! SUNDAY APRIL 4, 2010...PRIDE FUNDRAISER

This is for a Second Pride 2010 Fundraiser and I am happy to DJ along side two of my best buds Braden and Romeo. Lord the trouble the 3 of us can cause to a party LOL! This is taking place on one of the awesome sims owned by Truck and Tymus, in Calas Galadhon Park. If you never visited these sims then you are so missing out on a lot. They change everyone seasonally to fit a certain theme. For example, Christmas season it was Victorian Christmas. Now it is like a spring wonderland and getaway, with old fashion homes, horse trails, shopping, rivers, lakes, bike trails, and everything else you would love to do int he country-side.

Finding Easter Eggs in this place is going to be interesting, but luckily you will have great music to help you along. As I said, this is for Second Pride Fundraiser, which all proceeds going to the International Gay & Lesbian Human Rights Commission (IGLHRC), which is a leading international organization dedicated to human rights advocacy on behalf of people who experience discrimination or abuse on the basis of their actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity or expression.

KICKING IT OVER AT TAINTED BOYS!!

Yeah I know I can be busy at times and hardly get out from my usual businesses to go party. I did however, get out to Tainted Boys. An awesome club, gallery, and mall owned by my buds Trace17 and Adonis. DJ Shep was rocking the tunes and there were some hot dancers. The club looked different since the last time I was there when I filled in for a DJ that was on vacation.

I love the whole water look and artistic feel of the place, yet it has a certain sex appeal that is appreciated to the awesome eye. The ceiling is like my favorite part. There is a lighted prim show up on it that would make anyone on XTC trip to the euphoria of the awesome music that was playing.

Great place guys and check out the pics from the party. Hugs!!

HAPPY 3 YEARS GAY WORLD!!

I am so happy for Kito and Denver and all the Gay World peeps. I been DJing there probably since it opened. Actually that place populated my Thursday daytime sets for years. I think that place rivals Ironwork's Oink for my longest weekly sets in my DJ career. Like any club and sim it has went thru changes from staff to decorations, but the fun was always the same.

I DJed there for an hour during the awesome anniversary event from 3pm - 4pm SLT. There were so many there and on my stream due to Gay Zone and AquA and other clubs supporting them. MB was online to...YAY!!! Moments like these I cherish cause it shows we all came so very far in our years in SL, and we all have more to accomplish.

Great Job Gay World. Here is to many more years and Keep it up!!

Love,
DJ InsyX

Hello Fellow DJs,

I will be the DJ Manager for Second Pride 2010 festival this year. The festival run from May 29 – June 6, 2010. I am in the process of filling in the schedule for DJs to play at the park area in the middle of the shopping district.

Attached to this note-card is a texture of the schedule. Now everyone will get this same exact copy and some slots may be filled based on a first come first served bases. Of course I will let you know if a spot you choose is already filled or not.


IMPORTANT:
DJs are allowed a 2-hour time period each, until April 1.

After April 1, DJs can add another 2 hours till May 1.

After May 1, all the spots are free, and DJs can add as many 2-hour spots as they want. This makes it fair for all DJs who want to play at Pride.


OTHER RULES AND BENEFITS:
This is a fundraiser and charity event, so NO TIP JARS are to be used at the Pride Festival. However, a DJ Fan Group Sign/Prim is acceptable. All donations should be directed to the Pride Kiosks for the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission. The IGLHRC is an international LGBTI 501(c)(3) non-profit based in the US and is  "dedicated to human rights advocacy on behalf of people who experience discrimination or abuse on the basis of their actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity or expression.

You will be playing probably for many people who has never heard you, or listened to you on a regular basis, so this/these sets will give you two benefits. 1) You will be enjoying playing for a nice crowd and making a difference. 2) You may come away from this with new fan base, which is always a good thing for people in our field of work.

HAPPY ST. PATTY'S DAY FROM DJ INSYX

Woohoo one of my favorite holidays. Not just cause I am half Irish, but because I LOVE BEER, PARADES, AND TONS OF FUN!! Living in NYC is very good this time of year. I have only 3 parades a year I always attend (Pride, Halloween, and St. Patty's). I will post some pics from the NYC St. Patty's Parade here when I get back home. I won't be sober at all, due to the Guinness drinking competition I enter in every year, but the pics will hopefully be straight and viewable LOL.


Hugs,
InsyX

MY KILTED SET AT HIDDEN DOOR :)

Ahh another awesome Monday on SL. After a great edition of Monday Muse At the AquA Lounge with DJ Romeo, I went shopping for yet another kilt. Hey I am a clothing whore!! Anyways, got something I really like. This puppy has size scripts and is so not only formed for the twink sizes in SL.

I got to the Hidden Door and it was all decorated with St. Patty's lights and decoration. Green floor and lasers set the euphoric dance mood for all that came. There was a good variety of Kilts from the plaid Irish and Scottish, to the leather and denim. I pretty much played my usual music styles and added remixes from known Irish acts like U2, House of Pain, and many others. I even had to dust out the Steve Mac - Paddy's Revenge 12 in club mix.

It was a wild time and great fun for a pre-St. Patty's Day party. I know my half Irish eyes were smiling. Pics below for your enjoyment. :)
