Eva…Jim S? I’m pretty sure we’re talking about the same person, as I met Dave many times through a friend of mine also named Jim who also lived next door. Dave always seemed like this hilarious creation, something that could only come from detroit/ann arbor. Hilarious because the outside world had no idea what they were missing, but you knew eventually, they’d catch on and claim him for their own. He always struck me as pretty balanced – super happy, always working hard and always striving…and the last person you’d ever think would eventually produce for 50 Cent just judging a book by it’s cover. Which is why i liked him…you could just tell he didn’t give a fuck and was just going to make it…somehow. I think everyone around him knew too. Glad he did, shame he didn’t stick around the party longer…

I have been Googling “Disco D” and “Ski Mask Way” daily to judge what the response is really like. Thanks guys! Every word she said was true! But actually, the equation only came out of my head last month in Jamaica… the girl situation was settled, but I didn’t pop the question until last week. Bless up, meu amigos!

You surriously killin it in the game right now. And believe the hype about that Disco D jam. The best thing on that record, easily. When you guys heard it were you like “Oh yeah, this is pretty trill?” It takes a minute to realize how great it is.
And you blog! What!

Jshep!
The first in a long string of choreojobs, I’m sure. Oh yeah, and checked out yr review of ms Maya inna Spin, so good, my head bowled over by yr ingenious wordplay, I stood there last night, next to my car in the parking garage transfixed, too focused to find my keys, mind swooping through the phrases
AND YOU USED BINOCULARS!
please go to the head of the class.

shepdini,
i shall pour out a lil’ diet coke for your choreography gig . . . (rosie per–who?) yay!
“disco d” sounds like a long-lost member of the fat boys, pre-name change. but he produced 50’s “ski mask way,” so he gets props over heah.

Julianne, it’s Eva from Alarmist, formerly Portland, now Oakland. Let me tell you a story. My first boyfriend, who took me to see the Destroy All Monsters reunion show in Detroit as my first date, lived next door to Disco D in his freshman year of college at University of Michigan. I asked this man, Jim, about whatever happened to Disco D a few weeks ago when we had our annual chat. Jim didn’t know. Now I know. I should have known about Dave, he was so shiny even when 17 and puny.
