Music Video Of The Day
Guys. I'm really digging Ciara lately. "Body Party" is just too good. Don't get me wrong, "Ride" was a track. "1, 2 Step" was also a track. But she's since stepped up her game right? Whatever. I'm into it.
Check out Paul Chin's "Body Party" remix and grab the free download below.
Insert pun about how the song is called "Trying To Be Cool" & this is VERY cool.
So yeah. Success.
Oh man. You guys. I'm pretty excited for Janelle Monae's new record. I really dug the whole sci-fi soulness of The ArchAndroid, but this new 60s ish I can defiantly also get into. "Q.U.E.E.N." was so slick and now this?! Girl has got her hair DOWN! Trust me I loved the suit and pompadour, but it's nice to see this other side of her as well. She's still Janelle Monae, just feeling out a different vibe, and for that I applaude her. Top that off with the creative explosion that is this video treatment and it's all just so groovy. The Electric Lady is due out September 10th 2013.
Because his new mixtape Summer Knights finally dropped. Download it up. It's already so my new summer biking go to. Dude just announced a bunch of new tour dates. See also, his Funk Flex freestyle. Dude is young and talent as heck. I'm way to into it.
I've got a date with the night at Echo Beach with Karen O and the crew.
What's more "Canada Day" than going to see a NY band at Ontario Place?
Ugh I'm so excited. This video gives me crazy chills.
You should also check out the entire Mosquito stream/band talk through they did with Noisey. C'est bon.
Happy Pride!
Enjoy some cuteness alongside the Toronto city skyline with some Toronto tunes by Twist.
Still in Vermont. Still chilling. Just celebrated my grandparents' 50th anniversary. It was adorable. Back to Toronto tomorrow night. It's nice getting away and all but I miss the city... for now though I'm happy sipping on this delicious 12 year old whiskey and dancing along to my little sister's summer song with her.
ps. I totally have hung out with Robin's dad Alan. Just saying. Ask me about it sometime...
Because Aubrey Plaza is smoking in a bathtub. Jake Johnson (aka that dude from The New Girl) is also in it too... but whatever. Aubrey Plaza smoking in a tub!
In case you've yet to hear it, check out their amazing Wilco motown cover below. It's pretty great stuff.
JC Brooks & The Uptown Sound are stopping by Toronto's Horseshoe Tavern Friday July 12th. Should be a groovy time.
The fact that this girl is 16 just ruined by life because WHHHAAAT EVEEEENNN??? How are you so cool? How are you making such good tunes? ARE YOU AN ALIEN ? YOU MUST BE! YOU'RE A LITTLE ALT GROOVE EINSTEIN! She's from Auckland, New Zealand. She has a no selfie policy Maybe she's some magic hobbit? HOW ARE YOU ONLY 16? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh you guys I can't even. Don't even get me started on Royals. I just. I can't. This is too good. Ugh. LORDY LORDE! Oh my lord. I'm done. Consider The Love Club EP added to my summer playlist.
The other day I posted the audio and already we've got a new video to match the new M.I.A. single. Her new album Matangi is due out sometime in the fall. In the meantime I think I'm gonna dust off my 2007 copy of Kala and blast some "Bamboo Banga" with the windows down.
A-Trak and Armand Van Helden are back again with another fun tasty track. Eat it up.
Some romantic chill wave for your Monday blues. It's some pretty synthy sweet stuff.
Now excuse me while I spend my day watching Before Sunrise/Sunset/Midnight...
Directed and produced by the wonderful weirdo Chad VanGaalen.
Now I'm off to the park! Gotta soak up that sun and rain! Get weird! Etc!
Saturday rainy day hangovers.
Because tonight Toronto is burning and I'm going to a ball.
Have a freaky Friday y'all.
So many bad habits. So little time. This one is hitting me hard. Gotta work on the change. Some bad habits though... they go deep. Why are all bad habits so tough to break? Probably because it's the bad ones that are the most fun. The bad ones that you so easily can slip and sink into. Sigh.
I loved NXNE but it kinda killed me, but like a zombie I've died and come back more vicious then ever. Below you'll find the music videos of the day that I refuse to miss. Enjoy!
Because Sunday night Luda closed up NXNE with a bang. It was mad fun to hear these tracks live. Ps. See if you can spot the Kanye West cameo. Pps. I also interviewed Luda on Sunday and it was jokes. We talked about hashtags. Will post the video once it's up.
A classic chill jam from the Toronto based duo, to match my Toronto chill Monday full of Trinity Bellwoods + BBQ. Woke up with it suck in my head and it just fit so nicely.
Spent the day at a photo shoot and we had this blasting in the studio. Still so hyped off of his Sunday night YDS show. Love the 1999 mixtape too much.
Funny video and rad dudes. Was happy to play tour guide for Tony and Tom this weekend after vibing with them on a boat. Watch out for that interview too.
Tonight at MOD Club. 10pm.
This Caribou spin off project/organic electric act plays the Painted Lady tonight at 2am.
For more NXNE check out my 2013 Round Up.
