two thumbs way up!!

Wale mixtapes are mindblowing... some of the best hip hop coming out right now if you ask me.

Talib snuck under my radar too.. gonna have to get that one soon. I haven't heard the full Big Boi record yet but if the single Shutterbug is any indication of what the rest of the album is like it's going to be off the hook! rWsvkW6rKkQ

I'm totally there.. been pumping this show for weeks now!! can't wait!!

Kanada Kev, you are awesome!

this link appears to be dead.. anyone have another?

Hey everyone.. this year I'm partaking in the annual fundraising event known as Movember. For those of you who are unaware, Movember is an event to raise funds for prostate cancer research. To raise these funds those of us participating grow a moustache for the month of November and people give us money to do so. This year I'm part of the New Democrat Moustaches For A Cure team. It's very fitting that the NDP put together a strong team, what with Jack not only having a great moustache, but also fighting prostate cancer. If you wish to donate to myself or the team (or even join our team) you can find my personal Movember page here: http://ca.movember.com/mospace/701890/ I'll be updating this page weekly with photos of my stache progress (myspace style). Thanks everyone, and happy Movember!

happy birthday Sharon!!

I just bought one of these.. should get it in a couple of weeks (damn you Dave Dreiwitz!)

I don't know how many people will be interested in this, but hopefully some of you will enjoy this. I'm a big fan of Mashup/Bootleg/Bastard Pop stuff (like Girltalk and The Kleptones). Every year since 2004 a bunch of guys release a hallowe'en themed album. Being both a fan of mashups and hallowe'en I think they are great fun. They have finally put together a website where you can download all of the albums to date. So, if you are interested (or curious), check it out: http://www.monstermashups.co.uk/ they even put a small teaser up on youtube mE0uLlIOnFE

crap.. that's the same night C'Mon is playing The Dominion Tavern http://www.thisiscmon.com/

does anyone know if this is totally sold out in Ottawa now? I got my tickets but now I've got buddies who want to come

Today's groupon deal might be of help to you Phorbesie: http://gr.pn/aUNsUq

word!

and now I see this: http://soundcloud.com/shamantis/j-biebz-u-smile-800-slower I don't know what's true anymore.. stupid internets!

and apparently it's a fake.. the track that was supposed to be Bieber slowed down 800 times is actually this: http://photonwaveorchestra.bandcamp.com/ still a good track though

when slowed down 800 percent! check out this article from the Onion AV Club http://www.avclub.com/articles/great-job-internet-justin-bieber-sounds-amazing-wh,44254/ Someone took Bieber's "hit" U Smile, slowed it WAAAAAYYY down and ended up with this crazy awesome 35 minute ambient sound texture piece that is like a (as The AV Club puts it) "Sigur Rós-meets-Brian Eno-meets-Vangelis bliss-out" Here's the original: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0PMMk_jS9g and here is the awesomeness: http://p1.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fsoundcloud.com%2Fshamantis%2Fj-biebz-u-smile-800-slower&&remote_addr=10.12.22.62&referer=

if there was 15 left on Ticketweb, there are only 13 now looking forward to this show.. and The Elmdale will be nice and intimate (and I'm also going to assume sweaty)

I stumbled upon this list a couple of days ago and have been going through it and really digging it. It's pretty cool to hear these samples in their original context, plus learning about how these records were found and dusted off is pretty cool too. http://best.complex.com/lists/Kon-Amir-Present-The-50-Greatest-Samples-In-Hip-Hop-History

is it in 3D as well? or just IMAX?

it's supposed to be straight up free pizza.. we bought a second one because the free pizza is just a small (and that's not enough for us). I assume you'd still be expected to tip the driver though.

1) go here: http://www.just-eat.ca/ 2) type in your postal code and click Search 3) next to that postal code file field a location option should appear (for instance, with me it comes up with "K1Z Ottawa"). click on that location. 4) this will open a new page listing all the restaurants you can order from, scroll through this list looking for Milanos Pizza and click on "View Menu" if the "View Menu" link isn't up then I think it means they are out of free pizzas for the day (since I believe they are only giving away 200 each Tuesday) hope that helps, Velvet.

well.. on Tuesdays.. and only for the month of July.. but if you are interested http://pages.just-eat.ca/free-pizza/
