Artist: Superhuman Happiness Song: "See Me On My Way" Album: Hands "'See Me on My Way' is a song about the liberating feeling of moving on while accepting the fears and doubts that surround such an action," Superhuman Happiness' Stuart Bogie tells Rolling Stone. "You hear what your friends say, what your teachers say, what your family says, what your heart says... when these things don't line up, you need real momentum to break through that invisible barrier and onto the dance floor. The music is your ride to the party." Grab it here: http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/see-me-on-my-way-by-superhuman-happiness-free-mp3-20121128

Martin is sick? or is he's a drunk/drug addict that can't pull himself together? what's the inside scoop?

Almost everyone who voted for Ford felt tricked that fiscal responsibility was his platform - he wasn't all that known at the time - and his competition was really bad - Toronto wasn't ready for a Gay Mayor. Now Ford is seen as riding the same gravy train he vowed to repeal. He's done.

Bad week for FORD... First Twinkies now this...

Bam, as he's affectionately known, has done more for the culture and music of hip-hop, funk and electro than most could dream of. In fact, he's even the person responsible for coining the term "Hip Hop" in reference to the movement. The man behind Hip Hop/Electro Funk classic 'Planet Rock' over the years has co-produced and performed with the likes of James Brown, George Clinton, Fortknox Five, Leftfield, Uberzone and Tribe Called Quest among many others. Bam's futuristic soundscapes became a major influence in the development of not only hip-hop, but have been instrumental in laying the foundation for Breaks, Electro, Freestyle, Techno and House music as well. “Planet Rock†has become arguably the most sampled song in music history, having been remixed and sampled by the likes of Paul Oakenfold, Westbam, George Acosta, LL Cool J and countless others. Bam's track “Renegades of Funk†was also famously covered by Rage Against The Machine. Still extremely active, Bam continues to record, tour and educate, maintaining his status as a living legend and forefather of the art. In 2006, Bam was honored for his incredible achievements by VH1 at the annual 'Hip Hip Honors' show. In 2007, he was nominated for induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. In 2012 Bam accepted an appointment at Cornell University where he will speak to classes, meet with students, community groups and perform the music he helped create and expand.

"Cuernevaca" by Kelan Philip Cohran & The Hypnotic Brass Ensemble from ChoiceCuts on Vimeo. NEW HYPNOTIC BRASS w/ Kelan Philip Cohran

this Friday!

big one tonight! I hope you all can come!

"He'll be the first person to tell you, the last thing on his mind was to start another project with an organ player." For his part Martin freely admits "the chemistry was undeniable. It was something fresh I had not experienced with anyone else. I wasn't looking to play with another organist, but it really is special the way we play together on the stage. It couldn't be denied and when that happened I had no choice but do dive in!" - full interview with Wil Blades and Billy Martin http://northernheads.blogspot.ca/2012/11/wil-blades-billy-martin-interview-shimmy.html
