Half Time

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!

Alright!

Sounds like you have your summer planned out! My big musical pilgrimage will be to see Ms. Erykah Badu play in Detroit on Aug 7. She is a priestess goddess of wisdom and I can't wait.

Also Mitchell! Do you have a record player? I found all these old records of my mom's and really want to check them out!

Hope you are smiling, and sorry I've been missing Mondays because I've been traveling and spending too much time in Toronto.

Check ya later!
