Vahé:LeisureCAST


over the coming weeks i'll be posting up a brand new batch of mixes, consisting of all kindsa music (pretty much whatever has been collecting e-dust on my hard drive and deserves to be showered upon the rest of you). they'll all be loosely-themed, but the main thread they'll all have in common is that they're the shit. so LeisureCAST is my new outlet for busting audio nuts all over the interwebs. it's a podcast of sorts, cept you will hardly ever hear my voice over any of the music (i hate talkin over good shit). the first mix is already done and will be online shortly, so hold onto your keys and wigs.

Multi-Facial (starring Vin Diesel)

no it's not a porno. it's actually a short film written, directed and produced by Vin Diesel, which first got him noticed by Hollywood and pretty much led to the career he has now. it's apparently based on Vin's real life experience going for auditions as a mixed-race actor, and how he has to struggle with it. it's surprisingly decent, and while i always knew Vin had acting chops (he showed hints of it here n there), this proves he does without a doubt. it's only 20mins long so check it out.

what does the "T" in T-Pain stand for?

now i realise if you fossick enough on Google, you can find the answer. but i txted y'all to see if you guys knew just as like a general knowledge thing. and if not, what your best guess would be (ar alternatively, what you secretly wish his name to be).


my friends have their say:

"Theodore", -Vahe.
"Testicles", -Bec.
"Tro", -Hagop.
"Thrums", -Jeremy.
"Timbuck", -Raff.
"Terminal. Terminal Pain. thats why he chose black music to sing. cause it's one of the more upbeat and faster genres, and he doesn't have long left. you feel me?", -Mel.
"Throbbing", -Big Dave.
"Thyroid", -Nish.
"i heard it really stands for Trunk", -Bonaccers.
"what's a T-Pain?", -Al.
"Tigger Pain. cause everyone knows that's his secret identity", -Mel...again.
"it is in fact Tomahawk-Pain", -Tronsie.
"T = testicle", -Harryjuku.
"Tyrannosaurus", -Awad.
"Testicle :)", -Aram.
"Testiculor-Pain", -Taz.

AND, the moment you've all been waiting for, JASE ON BASS has actually got the answer:
"Tallahasse, as in his home town in Florida - heard it on a bio"
well there ya go folks.
Testicle had the majority, but Tallahasse-Pain it is.
but this new-found knowledge only leads to the next logical question.....why "PAIN"??
stay tuned.
