FMF - Claude Von Stroke - Essential Mix

Fuck Music Friday is at back again. This time stepping on your toes with prime material. Claude Von Stroke, the Bay's Dirty Bird label headman, and techno-funky bass man, provides BBC Radio 1 with two hours of the finest tech-funk. Rocked this at work and the customers were lovin' it. I was afraid they would catch me dancing with the mop. Wet floors are great for dancing the electric slide and some light step work, but when pulling the pony you best be holding onto the mop! LIABILITY!

In all honesty: my job rocks. Laid back, I maintain my task schedule and I keep a good reputation about the finest convenience store in town. But don't mention that the camera over my head only serves one purpose, creep. Or that you were glad there was a white boy behind the counter and not a ________, like them other stores. Test your luck cowboy, you're in town just once this week.

I need a signature phrase to say to my customers



Keeping the pace and groove in as busy a place as a customer-served convenience store in prime location is random and stressful work. Bring music, hi-jack the stereo and the place becomes loose and tolerable. That is the essence of Fuck Music Fridays. Fuck it, we're listening to music while we do it. Living in public settings with a custom soundscape.

Stina Persson

a New Spin on Watercolour.

Styling a very editorial juxtoposition to often soft, layered, and gradual painting style, Stina Perrson's strokes enheighten her platform, her colours popping and inspiring, her new approach fueling pre-current design.

The watercolour method of painting requires great strength of workmanship in patience and control. There are often periods of drying time between colours. The quite thin viscosity of the paint requires due technique from the artist - to load the brush, thin the paint, application to platform, etc.

Her work spans a lengthy hi-level client pool: Dior, Coca-Cola, DKNY, Harper's, Elle UK - to name a few. I found her between the covers of MixMag and never found the time to go indepth until now. Worth the wait, and the clicks through her portfolio.

Yo Gabba! Yeah!

Bassbin Twins refresh Yo! Gabba Gabba, some American children's television show. Or late acid flashbacks of the 80's, not sure. Eitherway,

Toronto on Fire

A dramatic propane outlet explosion in Toronto, Ontario. The incident happened Sunday morning.






Now I am Just Mad

Set up my whole day to finally relax after six days of work, only to have my day suddenly shifted to boredom. So I`m going to say one last fucking time that Kap Bambino is the best French Thrash duo there is. Missed them when they came to Toronto, Montreal et al. But watch this compiled segment, replacing that ridiculous POS I posted yesterday. My bad.
