The Sparkly Snatch Speaks

On Wednesday afternoon I ventured to the Miami Beach Resort and Spa on 48th Street and Collins Avenue, ground zero for the 2007 Winter Music Conference, the week-long-electronic-illigal substance-enhanced-baccanalia-disguised-as-a-music-industry-pow-wow. I was up on the 18th floor, checking out the VIP reception hosted by the Florida Chapter of the Recording Academy.

Although I must admit I really don't know any dance music industry VIPs so it's not like I can tell you who was there except for Chris Dekkor, the guy behind Miambient, a downtempo music party taking place at the Standard this weekend that actually sounds like a cool free alternative to the mindbending cacphony at Ultra.


Of course I couldn't help but wonder how many Blue Nikes Dekkor's pal Alex Theory (the dude on the far left) ate before sliding into those skin-tight black pants with the pink-and-red flames. After Dekkor and Theory shoved off, I noticed this heavy-set, fair-skinned, long-haired brunette jiggling to the thumping amalgam of dub, electro, reggae, and ska that best describes Agape, the band playing the reception. Typed across her WMC badge was the name: Glitterpussy.

I strolled over to this portly dame (who was with Seth Green-in-Party-Monster-lookalike Sean Cooney) and inquired about her pooncat moniker. She replied: "Because it sparkles like it's never been used."

Sorry I asked. -NA
