Sprung

  I missed playing with my DJ program. I decided to press record and see what could be created. I didn't know what I set out to do. I just knew I wanted to play. Mid-way through, I knew I had something special in the making. When it ended, the mixtape created was a mish-mash of breaks, funk and old school Hip Hop with a sprinkle of pop joints. The tape reminds me of how spring makes me feel. Spring has Sprung.

Hope you enjoy.

Rock the Bells will mark its 10th anniversary with some very special guests: “virtual performances” from the late Ol’ Dirty Bastard and Eazy-E, a la Coachella’s Tupac hologram.

Never Wanted your Love - She and Him

Cruising around Pitchfork this morning and noticed that one my favorite hippy-folk-guitar-strumming-duo’s, She and Him released new material earlier this year. Never heard any buzz till now. Pitchfork gave it a 7.5. The first single I checked out was Never Wanted Your Love. Dear Zooey returns with her sweet nothings while the dude in the background strums along.  She and Him Volume 3 is out now, kids.

This “Tuxedo Funk” EP has basically put the music bar up another notch for my music selection for the week. And for all music that will be released in 2013.

Please Please Me

Going to watch this whole documentary later on today while I do some spring cleaning. Here’s a look at how they remade the Beatles classic, “Please Please Me”.

There’s no secret I am a huge fan of Canadian music nerd Alan Cross. Recently found out that the cities music trivia icon has started a podcast along with local newsguy, Michael Hainsworth. Gave it a listen to it today. It’s good stuff. Exactly what you’d expect from pro’s like...

Listen to a very early Smiths demo recorded by the post-punk luminaries sometime in 1983, before they recorded their self-titled debut the following year.

You like that good ol’ hip hop?

Then you’ll like watching Steady B, Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince, Boogie Down Productions and Kool Moe Dee… LIVE… in 1987. 

That uncut hip hop shit.
