So if we want to look at it like this, summer is half over. It's been amazing so far, good people, good music, good times, less than desirable weather; but hey, this is silver lining.
A lot of fun stuff is coming up including but not limited to: the new Learn the Basics mix, lots of new art, leading to another show in Sept/Oct, Time Festival, The Hip, Hawksley Workman, Lollapalooza, Lykke Li, Miike Snow, Cubs/Phillies, Modest Mouse, VFEST, Lola Fest, Kings of Leon, Myself and TGCHU, Metric, Dan Auerbach and oh so many more.
School is just around the corner, personally I look forward to it, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Here's some stuff to know about in the meantime:
-Mondays: Keep coming out, they are good time jams, thanks to all who join us.
-Learn The Basics mix: Which I will using for shameless self promotion/selling out. One of my more ambitious recording projects, up there with Listen to Learn. Featuring: Metric, Spank Rock, Michael Jackson, Passion Pit, Freestyle Fellowship, Daniel Merriwether, Josh Martinez, Daft Punk, Matthew Dear and way way mo.
-New art: Working on a ton of shit, want one? Lemme know!
-Lollapalooza: Did you know that the Beastie Boys are taking a temporary hiatus as Adam Yauch has been diagnosed with cancer? Tough news for everyone, but fortunately it's all treatable, and he should fully recover. In the meantime the Yeah Yeah Yeahs have filled their Saturday night headline slot. Which I am okay with.
-Lola Fest is back in September! So far we can expect Final Fantasy, Bruce Peninsula and Akron/Family! Amazing!
-That same weekend of Sept 18-19-20, Kings of Leon and Glasvegas are coming to town at the JLC, and then the following day The Girls Can Hear Us will be rocking a show at Martini, details to come.
-And then on October 23, Metric and The Stills will be at Centennial Hall, and Nov 7, Dan Auerbach will be in Toronto at the Phoenix!
Lots to look forward to! Get at me!

It's been like, a month. What's good?
Sorry I'm a slacker. Let's try a quick update without dragging on and making the few that do check this out regret it.
New superfriend Media made a movie. That's right, a film. It's insightful and fun, and shot awesomely, and the soundtrack kicks ass. So, why haven't you seen it yet? Because you don't have the url. Well, it's:
http://vimeo.com/5453061 and the password is: kids
Check that shit out, it's short and sweet. Bet ya won't regret it.
I got a new one for ya too! It's called Parklife, that's right, I'm biting Blur now!
Anyways, as suggested/requested, it's a mix of afternoon chillout fun tracks for summertime! Trackslist is:
1. A Team-We Like Breakbeats
2. Amel Larrieux-Get Up
3. Foreign Exchange-Daykeeper
4. Cool Kids-Delivery Man (9th Wonder Remix)
5. Metric-Raw Sugar
6. Stephen Marley and Mos Def-Hey Baby
7. Brazilian Girls-Pussy
8. Freestyle Fellowship-Sunshine Men
9. A Tribe Called Quest-Find A Way
10. QTip and Norah Jones-Life Gets Better
Download NOW!
Summer is half over already, or something like that. I'm finding myself incredibly inspired but not motivated at all. Any recommendations?
If i were to recommend anything it would be Grizzly Bear's newest album Veckatimist. It's rad, maybe even album of the year so far!
Then I would recommend Passion Pit's album, Manners. It's like MGMT but more annoying and way better. Get it, in the name of the galaxy.
Okay now it's time to check out the second album from The Foreign Exchange, called 'Leave it All Behind.' It's crazy cause Phonte does like two verses in the span of a whole album, so it's essentially super jazzy r&b.
Also, it's weird that when I did a Google image search for Foreign Exchange, this popped up. It's a 'foreign exchange student' halloween costume. Wow.
Anyways, happy summertime!
