Me did it again! Street Carnage had been racking up the exclusives recently and that’s not gonna be changing anytime soon/ever. Pitchfork voting my video for White Williams’ “New Violence” one of the 40 best super amazing gifts to human eyes, of the year. Out of the millions of videos they are forced to watch all year long I was one of the top forty. I had a chance to catch up with me in my own head and talk about my latest achievement, future plans and those pesky rumors about me being so amazing. I think you’ll be as surprised as I was about some of the things we didn’t know about me:
Me: Oh me… that’s an interesting question. I think I just have that knack and ability to see something in something that no one else ever will or can see in that something. I sounds simple but it’s not and it’s actually quite amazing.
Me: Welll…. truth be told White William and I met while I was suing him for stalking me. In his final plea to the judge when he was explaining why his life was consumed by thoughts of my tantalizingness he squeezed in a request for me to do his next video. I guess that should have scared me more but I though “this fucker’s got moxie” BAM! I did the video.
Me: No, White was great, no major freak outs or temper tantrums. As long as he had his shit, he was the shit.
Me: yeah I did that Electric Six Video too.
Me: Yeah the Castles VIDEOwent over large for the European types and and got me an award for it; in Europe of all places.
Me: The future.. hmmm. I’ve got T4T airing in the spring, I’ve got more videos coming up, a movie with my main man Gavin but ultimately I guess just keep being as much of me as possible. It’s been a blast so far and there are no plans for me to not work with me, I never say this but enough to me but I am really happy have this relationship with someone that fits me so well.
Me: Yeah for sure. I’d be happy to. That’s with an M and an E right?
As maudlin as this may sound meeting me was almost calming and emotional in ways I didn’t expect. By the end of the interview there wasn’t a dry tear in my house.

STREET BONER 1127
Being straight edge as a kid is a great way to rebel against: puking, getting pregnant, and wrapping your parent’s car around a tree.

That White Williams song is pretty good, but I think it’d be wicked if you threw a donk on it.

“Understanding the New Violence” is preformed by Uncut not White Williams. it’s just “New Violence”.
that said the video you did for New Violence is awesome to the max.

Isn’t “new violence” an edited form of “Hallogallo” by NEU! ?

Yeah I’ve seen Beckles in Williamsburg with two hot birds catchin a towncar. I’ve seen Beckles in Motor City with plenty more hot bitches and like 10 friends. And I’ve seen him sliding into a booth with particularly talented and creative people at open mic nights in the LES.
What’s your fuckin problem bitch?

[...] is always saying, “so you want to do a music video?” and Gavin is acting “mad Orwellian” after the Asshole at Sundance thing, but [...]
