Thursday’s filming at burnt ramen was a dynamic affair. First up was the high-octane hip hop artist G-Smooth with his posse of two. They simply blew everybody away!

Next up was Chaotron. For this show, Chaotron was Reverend Sean Anomie on computer keyboard and the singer/dancer Monique. Basically they did very sexy performance art pieces.

Then HOP-FROG's DRUM JESTER DEVOTIONAL took the stage. They are one of many projects of the L. A’s Hop-Frog Kollektiv with whom I have intermingled on a couple of bills in L. A. In this form, they are 5 musicians playing trance-inducing tribal music. They asked me to do vocals for their last number,

So The chEROTIC All-Stars this time included HOP-FROG's DRUM JESTER DEVOTIONAL, Sean, Monique, Erika, Linda and me. This jam started where a lot of the jams end up within…the small erotic caves of melting intimacy. So this time we could explore deeper inside those caves.

After the jam, everybody was high. So high that finding out that the windows of our cars were smashed into didn’t diminish that high in anybody…well, maybe a little bit! The shock of seeing 3 cars smashed into, the expense, the hassle will do that! It’s a risk of doing shows in that neighborhood. In fact, before the show I warned bands not to keep anything in their cars because this kind of thing is not uncommon in that area. On the other hand, I have putting on shows at ramen for 6 years and this is the only incident during my shows there. Ah, the risks we take being in the underground!
