Smack That!

Akon's real name is

Aliaune Damala Bouga Time Puru Nacka Lu Lu Lu Badara Akon Thiam.

I'm serious

And that's pretty cool, because he goes by the very short stage name of Akon. Which would probably bring you to question my sudden fascination with Akon. Well it's like this - a few weeks ago, Ari, Sansan and Yuhan were singing his apparent smash hit called Smack That. They were talking about how Akon went around smacking booties of white chicks during the MTV Awards. And this discussion didn't go on once or twice, it'd go on for weeks and I inevitably got pulled in when Yuhan sent me the song. So after listening to it on repeat mode for 20 times, I must conclude that I have been Konvicted. It must be voodoo, but I frickin love Smack That.

Ok Evelyn, ENOUGH. #$%. A real update: We had a great time playing at Street Clap! 3Dash1 were awesome and it was even more awesome covering the Foo Fighters with them. Nassir and Ashik, thank you. Also, thank you all for coming to our show and even standing in the rain - it meant alot to us and we appreciate it wholeheartedly. Hans, thank you so much for filming our performances all these years - you should start charging us you know. Jabez, thanks for the interview, we've learnt alot about ourselves through that documentation! Pushpinder, thank you for ferrying our instruments to Al-Azhaar, you truly are a BPian. Oh yes! And we'll let you in on something juicy.. We've been recording our old songs and writing new ones. I can't wait to let yall hear them out. =] Please stay tuned to the ArPee channel.

On a sadder note, Ari has left us for An Ass. He enlisted for BMT on Thursday and we'll be picking him up on Friday. I hope he brings back souvenirs like an "I love NS" keychain or a "Got Hair?" cap or a "Warning: NS Man on board!" car decal. Kidding. We'd burn them if those things existed, yes we would. Come back soon Ari!
