Last June I took a spur of the moment trip down to the new Dallas Cowboys Stadium so that I could try out for this years season of ‘American Idol.’ Totally not my own idea, but I did it because I wanted to get on TV.
As you can see by the above clip I was successful on some level. The episode I could be in where they do Dallas airs tonight, so I am really nervous that there is going to be footage of me singing along to this Kelly Clarkson song “My Life Would Suck With Out You”
Trying out for ‘American Idol’ is like the 10th layer of hell. Imagine the most obnoxious and loud people in the world, who think they have great voices, having the license to sing out loud like crazy people at bus stops.
Sometimes you would go down a flight of stairs, and find a mob of 40 something people singing weird gospel hymns together, all going for that glory note and trying to solo over one another. There were people from all walks of life, but mostly from Wal-Mart.
The noise was maddening. You would scour the building for a quiet place to harness your chi, only to find some hideous looking person belting out a song you really don’t care for. Let me put it this way, there were about 20,000 people in the house and about 12,000 were all singing different songs; out loud at and the same time. A sad set of affairs really.
Then there was the wait. It took me about an hour of waiting in the real line until I decided to cut further down. I ran into this girl named Shannon who I went to highschool with and she gave me cuts. Word up on that. I got as close as I thought I could without getting caught, and they happened to be doing the fake crowd shots in the section I snuck into, so I do expect to see myself on there in the background. Even with this cut in line it took about 8 hours.
I did not advance the Judges didn’t like my song. But there is a good chance you could see me on the program this evening somewhere.
Dante Belefonte “Live @ Louie’s” by DubNasty
In case you were wondering the rumors are true, DubNasty is in fact the first person EVER to sing “We are the Champions” at the new Dallas Cowboys Stadium. On the 50-Yard-Line. Unfortunately it will not be televised… But in case you wanted to hear me sing here is me doing some karaoke. Enjoy!
Me and my partner in crime Heady P stayed up all last night making a phat remix of Har Mar Superstar’s new song “Tall Boy” which is for a respective remix contest judged by Eva Mendez and Har-Mar. The third verse is a DubNasty original and we hope you, Eva, and Har-Mar like it. You can help us win by spreading the word and sharing the song if you like it.
Don’t be shakin…
We are currently in 7th place and would really love it if you spread the word about the vote and helped get us to 1st. If you do, a “Tallboy” on us.
We are hard at work making new tracks for our forthcoming release “ECKTOPLAZM” and I would just like to say that it is coming along famously. Each track we lay down seems to be hotter than the last, and it sometimes getting so gooey that we can’t help but want to get it out to the public as soon as possible. And since I am such a generous guy I will give you a sneak listen to the title track of the new LP right now:
I was recently in NYC to visit, and see Phish for three nights at Madison Square Garden. It was quite an interesting trip but came across these dudes while I was journeying to the spot where John Lennon had been assassinated. They were all singing the Grateful Dead, and drinking some purple drank from what seemed to be half gal of milk cartons? Who knows, but the black one was hilarious.
So anyways, after filming them I guess that I stepped on their turf a little bit because the guy in the Tie-Dye (2:25 in the video) decided he was going to come over and talk to me. So I asked him about the Dakota Hotel which was where John Lennon lived and right by. He began to go off on some speech about how the building was evil and that the Six Points on its roof made a pentagram. Then he began to bark and speak in tongues for at least 5 minutes until I moved further down the bench. Rosemary’s Baby was filmed there also, so maybe he was that baby.
Don’t ask if you don’t want to know I guess.
Check out the link on the Dakota Hotel though, cause mad famous people have lived there.

The new and improved dubnasty.com was designed so that I could communicate to you all more efficiently. You will notice a sleeker and more easy to navigate main frame as well as we have gone “GREEN” as in we are WAY more eco-friendly, we blaze hella good herb, and the new album on its way is oozing with green goodness we are calling “ECKTOPLAZM”
I am also planning on doing a lot more live appearances in 2010 with my songbook growing on the daily. If you are interested in hearing the new jammys first then I would check on this blog, dog.
For instance have you guys heard the new mad travelworthy monster mix by my homey Heady P?
