Mike Dahlquist, A.K.A "Mike Diva" of Sacramento's Electro/Punk/Rap duo 'Vincent Flaw',  has for us yet another trick from his sleeve!

  With effects help from Trenton Moore of  'dVICE' (also locally based),  Dahlquist has created what I'd like to call "An Intentional Mind F**k of a Music Video" that marries well with the song  "Mark David Chapman", written and recorded by the almost indescribable yet undeniably fascinating 'Mindless Self Indulgence'. 

At 21, Dahlquist is no stranger to the camera.  He has already won two grand prizes at the T.O.Y. Film Festival, grand prize at the SEVA awards, and has directed a nationally televised commercial for the fashion store 'Getta Clue'.  It was shown on BET, VH1, and MTV.  Mike's video has been posted by Mindless Self Indulgence here: www.youtube.com/watch.  Among others, the video includes cameos from Savior, Davidara of  'Anguidara'  and Stephanie Michelle of 'Claudia's Ashes'.

That's a pretty wild video. It's like the best trends of the 80's multiplied by a dayglow psychadelic 60's party plus emo punks.

Mike Diva's Myspace Catch Phrase is "Striving to be the Modern Day Lisa Frank." Awesome...but at the same time, EEEEEEEWWWWW. LOL.

I'm guessing from some of the names in the shout-outs at the end that Dahlquist is a local talent? Can we talk with him? Let's turn this into a STORY!

Shout out? I am offended sir. And the write up is titled "Local Boy Makes Good (Music Video)."

Think before you put a quarter in your own slot.

Mike's an old hand at music videos - he made a couple for the Sac Music Seen program at the Sacramento Film & Music Festival a few years ago. And there's a lot of that going on around town - that program alone has produced about 115 videos in the last five years.
