Muscles - Ice Cream

Heard this on my way to work today and it made me happy, so I had to post it.

Ferraby Lionheart


Aside from having possibly the coolest name ever, this Ferraby Lionheart dude embodies "starving artist" in every sense of the phrase. I had to buy his new EP on the spot.. "get yourself a hamburger man, you're gonna faint".

He opened for Langhorne Slim last night - great show!

Dizzee Rascal

I'm going to be a bit lazy and just post a song by one of the guys who will be performing at the show I'm going to tonight. It's at Neumo's so if you are quick you still have a chance to catch a glimpse of me surrounded by people who I expect could talk about hip hop until Biggie came back to life and dropped a platinum album.

I didn't have to dig too deep to find this gem. It's the kind of song you play before you spend a night on the town after arguing with your girlfriend. You don't really want to be mad at her, and you really don't want to while away the night under a duvet. You want a surge of testosterone that arrives without malice and leaves without consequence.

The Knife - Heartbeats

Man... I just realized that it's possible not everyone knows how fucking great this song is. It pretty much requires shutter shades to get the full effect, IMHO.

Saul Williams

Saul Williams fucking kicks butt. Sometimes I play this in the morning so I can guarantee myself a kick butt day. I saw him in his "Niggy Tardust" incarnation at Neumo's and it felt like black people were taking back music, and I don't even believe in that. Listen to this track - if you don't tear up a little bit when he starts singing "I think I'm too black" then you are probably The Man.

"Black Stacey"

American Idiot

A judge in California has awarded the MPAA $110M in a ruling against www.torrentspy.com.

To put that into perspective, the US gov't has aided Burma with only $3M.

To put that into perspective, that is about 24 minutes worth of war in Iraq.

The MPAA was awarded $30,000 per infringement. Which means that the US thinks the people of Burma are worth $30 per person?

Pilate - Into Your Hideout

So apparently, I was frowned upon for posting "the Apple Air song" and not being original enough. Well, that commercial hadn't made it's way up to Canada. There must be a big hole in the tubes heading north. So to redeem myself, here's a nice old tune that reminds me of moving to BC, in celebration of leaving BC (temporarily).
