  1. THEN going inside and "experiencing" the Dead live. I must say I was only familiar with a handful of songs they played but everyone else seemed to know every word. The Vibe meter was going of the charts for me. I didn't even know you could dance to their music prior. The fluidity of their playing, the melding of songs, DRUMS AND SPACE, The way people were so familiar with the songs and the way they would react to certain intro's and choruses... all made me feel as though I had been missing out on some uber hip secret society..

    except it was 1990 for me

  2. Hey now. Throwing a party at Casbah on Sat Feb 9th. We’re

    celebrating Bob Marley’s birthday from the 6th, plus my own,

    and the singer of our band (Mike Rajczak) was born on the 8th.

    I’m expecting a huge party and it would be great to see some of

    you. We’ll most likely have a few special guests joining us on

    stage, plus killer dj’s in the lounge. I’ll post more info as we

    get closer.

    Of Interest to: Music Lovers

    For those of you who do not know me, I am the former lead singer of

    the band Staggered Crossing and the owner of Bent Penny Records. I

    have been an active member of the Canadian Music Community for over a

    decade now.

    Over the past six months I had been working on my very first solo

    album. I was recording with my producer friend Ed Zych from Massive

    Chang Studio's.

    [blurb]

    On December 20th in the wee hours of the morning two punks broke into

    Ed's studio and stole a bunch of gear, including the masters for my

    upcoming solo record. It is hard to believe that some people have

    such little regard for others.

    [/blurb]

    Needless to say, It's has been a very personal and painful experience

    for everyone involved. I do not expect to get the album back and

    will most likely have to start from scratch come the New Year.

    However, I felt that it was worth a try to spread the word about it

    in case something turns up.

    Some of the equipment is pretty distinctive, so if anyone happens to

    be passing by a pawn shop or music store and sees any of it, please

    let us know... here are some of the more distinctive items that were

    stolen from Massive Chang Studio's:

    An External Hard Drive: My album title is "Blank Tape Levy"

    Cherry red Gibson Les Paul Studio light Mark 2

    Fender P bass "sting" signature model

    Groove Tubes GT67 tube mic

    Radial JDI di box

    Hard-drive

    Perhaps it may generate some awarness about the stole tapes and

    equipment. You never know where and when they could turn up.

    Pictures of the guitars have been attached to this email and rough

    demos from my forth coming album can be found at www.myspace.com/

    juliandeantaylor

    If anyone does come across the gear and wishes to remain anonymous

    they may drop it off at Hudson Taylor Studio located at 12 Birch Ave

    in Toronto.

    Please forward this email along to anyone that you know that may be

    of any help.

    I hope that this finds you well. Happy New Year!

    Thanks for your time,

    Kind Regards,

    Julian

    p.s. On a side note, I will be performing my new material at Dora

    Keogh's at 141 Danforth on January 9th

  4. That's awesome that great grandma was rocking the dance floor like that. I know that couple and thought their mom had left early, not realizing she was just getting her boogie on.

    It was fun talking to grandma. She was one spunky lady.

    Big ups to Mike & Sharon from Riddim Riders. I thought they were on fire. I'm usually on stage when they play and it was great to sit back and watch them do their thing. I thought Tom Wilson killed it on Freedom ... what a great song live.

  5. New Years Eve featuring Riddim Riders + dodger, and h.E.A.T. Also DJs Dr. Nick, Ewan Alone, Kojo B, and more!
