I've always thought it was funny how some record stores filed records. Here's how a store called soulseduction.com filed the first record I ever did:
"style: nujazz / headz / groove"
What is that, a fucking sentence? It's like "See Spot Run" for dudes with fuckin' soul patches.
I don't do that type of shit anymore. Now it'd read more like:
"style: hipster / fistz / pump"
Equally depressing, I suppose.
Here's something very nice:

(Shawar)madabouyou
This fuckin' city man...it's getting increasingly hard to get a good donair/shawarma. Step one is finding a place that doesn't put fucking lettuce on the shit, or at least gives you the option. Today I was getting one, and the dude asked me if I wanted cheese or ranch dressing? Ranch dressing? On a Shawarma? Fuck me. What the fuck is so great about ranch dressing? On pizza, wings, chips (doritos...ugh) fuckin' everywhere (except Japanese restaurants because apparently Japan is the "Thousandth Island"...). So much fuckin' ranch dressing. Figure your lives out and can it with this ranch shit. My dentist gets ranch-flavoured fluoride. Ok, not true...but fuck... what's next, cologne? Enough. You know?
Oh, and I know what you're probably thinking: "This world is going to shit, and all this idiot can talk about is ranch dressing?"
And you'd be right.
Here's a nice song:

Can Fat Joe Really Say...
the N-Word?
I don't think he should.
Did this with my good pal, Neighbour well over 2 years ago, and it's never being released so...

Don't say the girl is topless, say they titties is (almost) out.
Feels like spring is in full swing, and the feeling is nice. Feel like I've been busy the past month. Junos were here and that was crazy fun. Met some rad new friends (Anna, Nav, Fierce, et al) and had a good time. Played in Nelson (possibly one of my fav places on Earth) and knocked out 3 tunes with fellow Homebreakers, Hoola and Soup. Had a little vacay in Vancouver with pals. Had a tune from like 2 or 3 years ago released. It's on Jalapeno Records with AGFA and Neighbour. So old, but whatever, it's out. I used to really dig that label too, and I'm (oddly enough) knuckle-deep in a bag of Ms Vickie's jalapeno chips. I learned from a restaurant I worked at that, when harvested, if the ambient temperature is above a certain point, the pepper will be spicy, and below that temp it will be mild. It was a Southwestern fuckin' tex-mex restaurant, which is the most common amongst "fusion"-type restaurants. You'd have to be a real dickhead to open a fuckin' tex-mex joint and call it "fusion" though. There's way more dickheads in this world than there are tex-mex joints though, so I think there's probably more at play.

Bon Voyage
Oh hey...you gotta check out the new Bon Voyage website. It's a fledgling clothing company started by 2 friends and myself. The next line is shaping up nicely and I'm pretty stoked on the designs. You can scope the older joints on there and soon enough, buy the ones you like.
Here's some pics from the "Year in The Life" party at the Hifi. Turned out to be a fuckin shitshow:
Lotsa good shows coming up next few Thursdays (JOTTS, Fashen, Mehdi, Jesse Rose) so there oughta be a ton more pics on the way.
I'm getting so sick of all the same restaurants over here. If anyone knows any good ones please let me know. I'm still not sick of the Sate Beef Pho @ Y2K Saigon, but everything else is so ZZZZZZZZZZZ. I like to eat tasty shit all the time.
Here's such a nice song:
Booker Newberry - Love Town
"Neon ladies selling rooms for romance" ????? Could be one of my favourite lyrics?

I'm learning how to moonwalk.
One of my friends once said "There's nothing wrong with pleasure.... ". And he's right. In light of this, I'm going to have a nice time tonight. Lazerfangs x Baby Jezus party tonight at the Hifi for Hai Karate. Should be paaaaaaaacked. Should be a lotta fun. 35 canvases of Hifi nights out. Smalltown and me Dj'ing. Maybe we can hang?
I know I said I'd be posting new shit I'd be working on, which I haven't, though I will, so here's a track I sampled for the next EP I do for Homebreakin':
DD Sound - Burning Love

Need a ride?
I think so. I was in the middle of giving a friend shit for thinking about driving after 2 beers. He said he was fine and I argued that I wouldn't be able to drive after 2 beers when it dawned on me...I couldn't drive after a glass of milk. You see, I don't have my license. I'm 24. People have no problem admitting that they're bad at math or can't spell, but there's 3 things most people won't admit to:
1. Being bad in bed.
2. Having no sense of humor.
3. Being a bad driver.
I can't pass that test. I do dumb shit and fail instantly. I sometimes press the gas instead of the brake. I never know what day of the week it is (DJ'ing has done that to me) so I don't know what the fuck to do in school zones. I hit the curb sometimes by accident. On the highway. I'm a bad driver. I turn 25 in 2 months. I'm getting license, hook or crook, I'm getting that shit before my bday. Wish me luck. Wish everyone luck.
Gotta mention a pal up in Edmonton, Gordon Thomas's blog, Stereobait . Good DJ, makes more mixtapes than anyone I know, and all around nice dude. Scope his blog, not just because he posted an older
mix I did. Kinda 80's disco-y. Or whatever.
Here's a nice track I almost put on there:
Gwen McCrae - Keep The Fire Burning

Softer skin in '08
Holy shit...it's been a while. Almost long enough. I'm gonna try to have at least one entry a week and post more music, old and new.
December was hectic. NYE was decent. Bigtime fun with longtime friends...and Disoriental.
I made 2 new years resolutions:
1. Shake hands like a man. No more 12-step touchdown dance and then worrying if I'm supposed to explode after the 'pound'; only grown man shit. Nice to meet you...let's be adults.
2. All the other usual shit.
I got hypnotized to quit smoking, fuck. Though I haven't smoked in a month, I don't know if it's worked for sure. I think I can understand the Cadbury bunny now. I bought a bunch of extra shit from he hypnotist afterwards like a lung cleanse and some other shit. I think she told me to do it when I was unconscious. Fucking snake.
I'm not gonna let my beard get outta control this year. Wasn't really resolution-worthy...but still.
Setting up a small studio at home again right now so I don't have to go across the river to the HBR studio every time I think I have a good idea. I should be bonking you guys with some variety of new shit on the weekly pretty quick here. I promise I'll do that this year, more music. For now here's an old but nice french house tune I've always loved from one of the genre's lesser known (maybe?) Sebastien Leger. Now he makes shitty electrohaus.
