On the Block

Toronto's newest online radio show, Bassteasers Digital Radio, will gather the GTA's top DJs for weekly guest mixes, Sunday (possibly extended) sessions, and intamitely bring to you the talents of your nights.

They enter into the soundstream with a smooth and funky 2HR mix by Mike Conradi (RC,SA) - a light to heavy mix of house, techno and breaks. With a phenomenal pool of talent already situated in Southern Ontario, BTDR is on a defining path of showcasing the true sounds of Canada's Underground.

Next Tuesday tune in to a truly talented miss of the decks, Mary Jane Baker. A grand friend of mine, Jessica Greenwell inspires crowds with sounds unlike any other. Spliced and blended with a unique dedication. In her own words;

It's gonna be rad bitches! House, Breaks and maybe even a bit of B'more & Garage for my hometown crew. Dont miss out, I promise you a rockin Tuesday night!

So tune in January 12 @ 8PM EST, so.. 6PM my time! , catch the radio link in our coming, more orderly link-list.

All those cute and furry videos of the interweb combined by CollegeHumor TV.
They're pressing out some quality videos and recently signed with MTV.
Hopefully the only time MTV gets mentioned on this blog.

Bizarro

By Dan Pirarro is an off-kilter, but oh-so-relevant comic that always gets a chuckle from me.
These particular drawings get an extra laugh from me now that I've moved to Cow Town.






The one is about any cat. I moved 3000Km away and there are now two cats, not one that wake me up every morning..

2009

Starts in Calgary. The move went well besides a hangover and turbulence and first time flying, on a seven AM flight. But that quickly passed and set into jet-lag. All is well now and I am heavily enjoying myself in the city. Here are some pictures from my webcam in my room and balcony.

Fresh off the plane


Hung some of my design paintings


Looks pretty, pretty cold ( -38 feels as cold as it sounds)


NOTE: -40F and -40C are the same temperature.

Jetlag



Growing vegetables instead of owning pets

The Breaks are Acid

Marty McFly


Collingwood, Ontario's Breaks phenomenon rings in 2009 with acidic beats and his right-on-time mixes. Grab this while you can! His shows always steal crowds from the neighboring clubs for reasons you'll soon hear.

Sneaky Sound System

some puppets dance to a gay disco-rock track. There is totally some domestic abuse, and if you ever watched Pinochio's Revenge.. yeah man.

From Calgary, the new home of RRR

You like Funk? Breaks? Steeze stature and fierce phantoms that make up this fantastic mix. Deep, punky up-beat, and a dece(nt) ratio of vocals (as they can get repetitive in Breaks and Hip-Hop) and breakdowns and transitions. And its broken into single tunes so don't have to like it all.

Its WINTERGEDDON

The coming of the Ice Age!

Found my very first ever recorded set. Classic Hardhouse (UK, Scouse)
Maybe I'll post it one of these day. But you can't open your gifts early, I did that one year and damn.

Storm 3 of Wintergeddon. Ending in an ice storm. My plane better be in 'I think I can, I think I can' mode on Sunday morning. Enough nonsense! However, I will be spending this NYE in Banff, Alberta! Old friend works a bar-rail for aprés and my roomate has a friend in the mountains for the night. Not woodland creatures, but people. Skiing is apparently reaching -30C and Calgary is -42C. Bitchin', I'll be in my man-cave all winter.
