Importance of SEX


Friday, November 23rd, 2007

I wondered what made me a chef. My ability to cook or my undying need to eat. I always believed the latter suited me better.

I stumbled through Clarke Quay one night-mildly intoxicated. Tripped over the pavement outside ‘One Nite Stand’ and wondered if food was still being served? Got a really good look at the menu and with the assistance of a sober server did I realize that the kitchen was closed. My attempt at small talk and possibly a night of wild sex came crashing when I realized it was a guy I was talking to and not some voluptuous vixen my mind wanted me to believe he was. And there goes my thoughts of me being ‘mildly intoxicated’.

I desperately needed food. If I at the very least knew that my night held promises of mind blowing copulation, I would have skipped supper, and quite possibly breakfast and lunch. But something about that 3 am that day told me I was in for a very quiet night- morning and afternoon included.

I realized that I had to sacrifice my gold-plated ‘chef-tongue’ and eat like the rest of the locals-Got into a cab I did!

Just before Orchard Towers came rambling out, I managed to squeeze out ‘Lau Pa Sat’. Heaved a huge sigh of relief and buckled my seatbelt.

The place was jostling. It was probably the craziest crowd I have ever seen at a single food center my entire life. And after further investigations, I can safely say, the pricing of the food that were available that night would have made the Shangri La sound cheap. Had my 5 dollar chicken rice and 6.50 worth of rojak and (brace yourself) 18 dollars worth of satay all 9 skewers of them been any good I would not be penning my agony to you right now.

The food was shit but, I guess it did the job. Well I don’t really see much of a point in whining about it a week after being raped, but now I know where not to go.

So the lesson being is either get laid or find the nearest 7-11. You can’t really go wrong! Am getting laid now, so… Bugger off! Cheers.

Interview with Swiss DJ & Producer SAINT LAURENT


Friday, November 23rd, 2007

07_11_23_b_laurent

Hi Peeps, here we are with Singapore based Swiss DJ & Producer Saint Laurent to check out if he feels the shizz…

George: If you blend a cow with cucumber, times it by 1024062 multiply it by centrifugal gravity what would you get?
SAINT: a record!

George: who are you? what do you do?
SAINT: preacher of the sounds of music

George: Describe your music style?
SAINT: That’s a hard question… I love to play everything that has a nice electro sound and that has something unique like my favorite song of the moment: “So It Goes” from “Bart B More”. I particulary like “Switch” for his style. The music i play can go from electro house to minimal or electornica without forgetting some deep, funky, disco house. I actually hate mixing commercial music but I often have to because of the crowd and the organisators who don’t really give me a choice.

George: Major influences to your music?
SAINT: My entourage; everything i see or hear gives me inspiration for my productions. I have to admit that a lot of my influences come from people i experienced something with; this explains the names of my songs like “Tashou” or “Sophie Mania”. When it comes to mixing my main influences are Brendon P. (DJ of Velvet Underground) who introduced me to mixing, Joachim Garraud who has showed me that being a DJ is also being a musician and the crowd which guide me throughout my mix.

George: what according to you is the state of music in Singapore & its clubbing scene?
SAINT: I have to say the clubbing scene is amazing! Almost every week there’s a world famous DJ in town that pumps up the crowd! The only bad thing about the clubbing scene is the crowd; it’s rare to find clubbers that actually know what they are dancing on. Music in Singapore is not that great but it’s getting better. It’s too much about the money and not the quality when it comes to local performances.

George: What gonna be new with you in terms of future collaborations?
SAINT: Well right now I’m quite busy with school but I’ll probably use my december holidays to produce some new songs for the label I’m currently on: Dustpan Recordings. I also intend to release next year a Progressive House EP under a label which is owned by one of my DJ friend Seng Wei. Next year, during my National Service in Switzerland I’ll try to get a residency in a good club in one of the big cities of the country and keep on producing.

George: What was your Grandma’s favorite song?
SAINT: I wish it could have been one of my songs

George: if you were a homosexual who would be your partner?
SAINT: Bob Sinclar. If he would ditch me for his wife i’ld go for Victor, my frenchie!

George: what would your tombstone read?
SAINT: “dont dig me up, i didnt die rich , you woun’t find any jewelry on me.”

George: your favorite drink?
SAINT: Rivella, a Swiss drink.I love taking it when i come back from a crazy night

George: who is the coolest dude with sunglasses on?
SAINT: Tiga

George: you are most likely to get caught for……
SAINT: flirting with women police officers

George: why should I come to hear you spin, is it worth it?
SAINT: To see someone doing what he loves and to release yourself on good electro sounds. Then it is for you to judge if that’s worth it.

George: where do you wish you were right now?
SAINT: With Tash on the sofa, watching a movie.

George: leather, lace or handcuffs?
SAINT: leather & lace

Peace out peeps, shizzzzzzzzzzzzz.
