Tuesday, 12/08/2009 — Steve Aoki's birthday bash @ Cinespace!
the lineup
So Steve Aoki had a birthday party, and we decided it would probably be ridiculous, and we were right. It was a ridiculous night of fun times, fun music, and craaaazy kids. Special secret international DJs turned out to be Adam Freeland, along with Richard Vission and LA Riots. Hippest birthday in town. Oddly not as epic as the now infamous Busy P Birthday Bash earlier this year in April, at the same place, however... google that shit and you'll see what we mean.

Of course, Steve's good friend The Cobrasnake was there.

"Steve, get your Benihana ass up here!" - Casey Spooner
Casey with the guy who designed his pyramid hat... he asked the crowd at one point if it made him look like Mango from Saturday Night Live, which cracked me up.
The Fischerspooner DJ set at DIM MAK Tuesday at Cinespace actually turned out to be a Lauren Flax/Casey Spooner set, but that's ok as Lauren Flax is a solid DJ and there's nothing else to be said about Casey Spooner, who is an badass performer and of course, rocks any outrageous outfit or costume you can throw at or on him. This DJ set only showcased his sass, but if you don't believe me, look no further than Fischerspooner videos on YouTube. And by the way, "Emerge" is a minimalist conceptual art-electroclash masterpiece that oozes pretentiousness in its deadpan delivery... I was deceived by its simplicity and failed to realize its genius until recently.
Fischerspooner are underrated, and Casey and Lauren definitely deserved better than all the douchey "fans" who seemed far more interested in being trashed and acting like, well... total douchebags. Everybody here at DGAF knows that I'm notorious for getting wasted... but I did NOT appreciate:
1. The constant pushing and shoving. For some reason people didn't really want to go up to the front, where there actually was room for once, to dance. Why make all that effort to get in people's ways and then just stand there?
2. Guys who are obviously on something who get up in your face WITH THE NASTIEST BREATH EVER and if that's not bad enough, they keep grabbing your hand to try and "dance" with you.
3. People who are so high that they think that repetitively tugging on their own shirt constitutes as dancing. I wish I was exaggerating or making that up. Well.. ok, that was just more amusing than anything else.
You can be DGAF, but PLEASE at least give a fuck about the music!
I wonder what would happen if Casey Spooner and Lady Gaga collaborated? Something very DGAF, indeed.
DGAF stands for Don't Give A Fuck, and we use it to describe the most ridiculous, hilarious, craziest, badass people/places/events/crap we know in existence. Yes, we are in this category. You don't start a blog about DGAF without being a little DGAF yourself. CMYK is the Coolest Motherfuckers You Know: Suzanarchist and Shimosh. and we Don't Give A Fuck
