There’s a moment, on the dancefloor, when everything falls into place — the lights, the sound, the beat, the vibe, the crowd, the lyrics, the energy, the… intangible tribal quality of moving your body in time with the universe — where you consciously toy (for a microsecond) with the idea that if that moment of [...]

So we went to Thrill the World Vancouver 2009 at Yaletown’s Roundhouse this evening:
And scariest of all…

 One commentNot again, right? Video: The Arcade Fire “No Cars Go” Next to “Roam”, this is probably my fave B-52′s song*. Don’t think the grocers’ apostrophe doesn’t drive me nuts — they fixed it last year, with the release of Funplex — but self-identification is to be respected. The literal representation of the instruments cracks me up and, Cindy, you ARE my goddess!

4 commentsYou either dig Toronto’s Hidden Cameras or you do not dig them. You either find them hopelessly mannered and naïve or you do not. You either find their music refreshing in a DIY/low-art-gay-churchy kinda way or you find it predictable in a samey-same kinda way. I like them. A lot. They’re fun, they’re fresh, they have [...] August 13th, 2009 | Categories: Awesome, Bad Behaviour, Celebrities, This Hear, Toronto, Vancouver |
4 commentsNot normally a big fan of sultry or poppy songstresses, I’ll cut some slack to those whose pipes are infused with disarming sass (Lily Allen) or an abundance of style without that vocal showoffiness which makes most of the shit played in nonheterosexual venues unlistenable. And, indeed, Paloma Faith has all of the above. [...] Twenty-five years after its release, Thomas Dolby’s The Flat Earth is still as haunting (and remarkable) as ever. I’ve been listening to all of his back-catalogue for a few days now and it’s as fresh as the first time I heard it, so long ago. From a live performance in Chicago, 2006: Video: Thomas Dolby [...] From the new Phoenix album, Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, which is getting a surprising amount of airplay on the iPod. Visuals by 35east: Video: Phoenix, “Love Like a Sunset” (35east) From “A Few Don’ts for Débutants”: Never put your hand on a man, except in dancing and in taking his arm if he is usher at a wedding or your partner for dinner or supper. Don’t allow anyone to paw you. Don’t hang on anyone for support, and don’t stand or walk with your chest held [...] May 26th, 2009 | Categories: Bad Behaviour, Bliss, Celebrities, IntoxiBlogging™, This Hear, What Time Is It? |
3 commentsIt’s weird. In the days following my break-up with Toronto, the city streets seem no less cold, no less ugly and no less mean. Perfect, then, for listening to Roxy Music’s blistering “In Every Dream Home A Heartache”, performed back in the day (1973!), back when I was totally hot for Bryan Ferry — okay, let’s not [...] [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Hey, did I ever tell you I was a DJ? Oh, not the glamorous kind of DJ that elicits a slavish devotion from crystal-addled partiers, the other kind of DJ: a radio DJ. When I was coming of age in Calgary, Alberta, there was a [...] May 19th, 2009 | Categories: Bad Behaviour, Bliss, IntoxiBlogging™, Self-Pimping, This Hear, Toronto, What Time Is It? |

One commentI was never much a fan of mash-ups, thinking them kind of… gimmicky? And over the years I’ve acquired a rather large collection of music remixes but, for the most part, found them more a diversion than main course eatin’. And then I downloaded the spectacularly fun — and solid argument for remix culture — RiP: [...] May 15th, 2009 | Categories: Awesome, Bad Behaviour, Celebrities, IntoxiBlogging™, This Hear |
