WELCOME BACK BLOOM BLOG!! I sure did miss my weekly Sundays here on the Bloom Blog, There is so much to tell, I’m not really sure where to begin. Sid and I have been in Cambodia 3 days shy of 1 month. Today, we found our new apartment, complete with kitchen, balcony, hot water & refrigerator. We [...]
Donna Augustin is one of the producers behind the play called Shoot 2 Win, directed by famous acting coach Tracey Moore-Marable. Tracey has coached Eve, Busta Rhymes, Nelly, Kellita Smith (from the Bernie Mac Show) and Ludacris to mention a few. As well as casting and directing Under Her Own Skin, which Oprah came to see.
Shoot 2 Win is a play about an all female African American basketball team, it’s a comedy/drama dealing with Women’s issues. Shoot 2 Win was last performed on the west end stage in London and was very successful. It’s an all female ensemble cast and really is a fierce piece.
Opening for Black History Month at the Cherry Lane Theater Manhattan on Feb 10th -14th and at Kumble Theater in Brooklyn March 3-7th.
For more information go to Shoot 2 Win.
Order those tickets- I’m going Friday- Can’t wait!
Our new place is beautiful. We couldn’t be more excited to have a kitchen again. Our first night we invited over our English friends Tom and Hannah. A trip to a western grocery store proved rather costly, and will be a very rare occurrence. However, knowing the beef your buying has not been sitting in the market all day, while a lady swats the flys away with a plastic bag at the end of a stick is priceless. It was truly amazing seeing things like A1 sauce and Apple Jacks. After only 1 month, I can’t help but miss the things I consume on a regualr basis in America. Prices for such raritys are extrodanaire, the worst being Häagen-Dazs ice cream costing a whopping $18 for a pint.
Learning to turn the gas on and off after each usage of the 2 burner, less then American stove top, will take some getting used to. I made rice without a rice cooker and used my wok to stir up a delicate mixture of thinly sliced chilis, onions and fresh garlic, adding curry powder before and after the beef. Beef Kima over rice was served with some sauteed green beans. We settled in our new flat with a homecooked meal and a bottle of red wine. Tom and Hannah also brought us a housewarming card along with the wine.
We spent the week learning our new surroundings and figuring out how to get simple things, like water, internet and a gym membership. Simple tasks at home, full day projects here. As with everything in Cambodia. I’ve learned things take time, LOTS OF TIME. Everything is a giant process and nothing is as simple as the nod of the head thats given when you make a request.
Friday came and we hopped on a 7am bus to Koh Chang, Thailand, to renew both our visas and our bodies. The adventure here had other plans then we prepared for, it all started with a “BAD” ice coffee (common travel issue). The rest of the LONG trip was painful and embarrassing with a eclectic range of bathroom site seeing. See video below for my story, told today while I hung out on the beach and in my bungalow.
Today, I also released this video from Alphabutter listening party of BS freetyling while Kid Lucky and Grey Matter beatboxing.
I thought I’d take a second to let you know that on February 16, 2010, Jesse Abraham will be releasing a free, downloadable mixtape entitled “XS”. The mixtape features the single “So Whatcha Feelin” featuring Jenny Hartman, as well as tracks produced by KO Beatz, Spills, J57 and others, and features such collaborators as YC The Cynic, Premonition and Pete Colon. Acting as a follow-up to the eminent “Alphabutter” album he released in January with MC/Producer extraordinaire Spills, “XS” will be Jesse Abraham’s first solo release. Catch Jesse Abraham performing live at The Bowery Poetry Club on 2/19 in Initiative Radio with Angela McKenzie’s Salute to Ralph McDaniels, alongside such acts as Homeboy Sandman, Hasan Salam, Eric Sosa and more. For further information on Jesse Abraham visit www.JesseAbraham.com.

The crazy dancing moves are coming back!!! Get ready for Terry Poison from the Middle East to be bringing their moves, their dynamics and Rocktronica back to the U.S- for SXSW, WMC and any City you want them in!
Their debut will be released in U.S late April – the self titled debut which was released in Israel and Europe to much critical acclaim will have a few bonus tracks and different packaging! Excited???
Plus they shot a video clip completely under water- now that-I can’t wait to see!
In the meantime- they did an entertaining EFFICACY. Check it out!
The Juice is back!!!! Its been a long time coming. Unfortunately for you, I’m heading to Thailand for a couple weeks so I’ll have to pack a lot of info into this post before I leave you for a bit.
Winter in Tel Aviv has been full of music releases. And when there are releases, there are parties…
First, if you are in Tel Aviv tonight, please check out Onili’s release party @Abraxas for her single with Yael Deckelbaum (from HaBanot Nechama), entitled “Bali Lo Bali’, which is the Hebrew version of the original English tune, “You Want It” released by Onili awhile back.
Here’s the video clip she just released. Again, if you look closely, I make a cameo in this one as well!

Do you remember my live blogging the Onili tour in France? Well get ready cause we are going to the US! Finally! Onili is conquering a few of America’s major cities. We will be traipsing through Miami, New York, Austin (SXSW), and of course my home spot, PHILADELPHIA!
Also, speaking of parties, if anyone was at the insanity that was the Soulico album release party last Thursday, WOOOOOWWWWWW! It was incredible! Those boys really know how to put on a show. The show included performances by many of Israel’s best musicians (a lot of whom were featured on the album) including Onili, Axum, Ortega, Saz, Karolina, Idan K, Rebel Sun, Haim Laroz, and Kutiman. Here’s a couple videos from the night:
A lot of good things are happening here. I have a bunch of up-and-coming musicians I can’t wait to tell you about after my return from Thailand. And many music veterans finishing things up in the studios.

Our very own Borgore has been working hard with Diplo and is working to release a couple tracks with the man himself. His new EP comes out shortly. Take a listen:
