The Heist

" i'm about to rob a bank and everyone inside

(MU)BARACK OBAMA <3

The fire marshalls shut down the shindig at the hyatt so I came home to drink pellegrino and blog...

THANK YOU to EVERYONE who voted. We did it. I gave as much as I could during this election to the Obama campaign but what i was proud to give most was my time and stellar knowledge of making cold calls to strangers, asking them for things. In this case it was change. Change for America. Change for the globe. It worked. I feel joy.


People in Kenya are dancing in streets.
I am dancing in my seat

me and obama
we both have kenyan dads
we both have weird names
we both believe in change


merci
merci



love,

fires + vampires + LA + burqa hands free

There are fires in los angeles. [pray]
There are vampires in los angeles. [pray]
This is a fact.

I hear them at night when i am suddenly awakened by their comings and goings.
Though I must say the streets of NY never did fall asleep and that never scared me.
BUT the streets of LA at night complete with wild winds whippping about to awaken me from dreams of mixing music and vegan deserts frighten me i must admit this.

I am finally in the final finality stages of mixing and mastering the new songs and now i am thinking the whole sh'bang will be ready for the new year, which brings me great joy and I am so proud of these new songs. I had to go back into the studio to make these tracks perfect for you, i couldnt live with myself if i knew i wasnt giving you the best. you dig.


i will try to write with more of a frequency i went on an unannounced blog hiatus but i'm back now and more exciting things to follow suit. shows + LA & NY jungli sightings + snippets of new tracks + photos + Video + ramblings and much more, thank you for staying tuned

in other news i saw this woman
location: palms LA CA
season: fall
running: an errand

who managed to somehow intelligently with a delicateness place her cell phone in her burqa to make a new and unique way of being hands free while talking on the mobile phone. i mean has anyone patented this ???? i wanted to take a photo but thought it was a bit inappropriate to ask... i know since when have I done the appropriate thing ? since recently. use your imagination. the burqa was green the phone was black.

love,

9.11 memorandum

dear everyone and anything who was involved in 9.11
i too was there i saw the madness i saw the tears i saw the buildings fall the soot people covered in ash walking across the brooklyn bridge. I climbed up to my brooklyn rooftop and cried and cried. We are still fighting an unjust war but the beautiful thing about life is that there is war and there is love and there is always some kind of beauty even if you cannot see it, it is there. watching like me from above, on high.

love,
jungli



p.s this cannes 2008 short film is amazing

une poeme par jungli september 7th 2008 LA, California USA

shiny penny go go gadget songs
you are almost done with your perfume
you smell nice
it is a sunday afternoon and i have forgotten my tide book
the one i bought at the rusty surf shop
i rush towards the waves of my secluded beach hideout
i climb a tree in my mind
i miss new york city in reality
i am restless
i call god
guess what? i say
i got a blackberry a while back now we can BB messenger
Great s(he) says, though
these days i'm mad busy yo.
fuck it i'll make time for you but listen
i've got bigger problems than your woes me
your songs you were an infidel a thief you stole your own chi you creep
i mean really
i've got a barracuda in a sea of harmony fishies
i've got 6 year olds buried in Afghan rubble
i've got russians doing masti
i've got more war than love and its supposed to be half and half
go buy a piano and work it out will you ?
put me on a plane i say
i'm ready
i'm ready
ahem ( throat clearing )
no my dear no my darling lil harmony fishie
you my friend my BBM buddy are still on
.standby.


-----------------------------------------------

I have mixed half the new EP. Almost ready still on standby
playing once a month at Abbots Habit in Venice come hang s'il vous plait stay tuned
LA Somehow can make one sleepless insert illegal downtown after hrs dance parties and drinking pineapple juice at the bar
my addiction to red mango and the song twice by little dragon is tapering off to normalcy
please note the fresh mandarin oranges and cute as a button staff do not help.
please note little dragon is dope.
please note sarah the barracuda aint sh%t
please note we were born to rock this vote and change the world
