Music Video Of The Day
Because the Polaris Prize shortlist nominees play today's Mad Decent Block Party. Check @nxne for a few live tweets of the party. If you can't go check out Grandtheft's #MDBP2013 mix below and feel that Friday hype.
Well now I wanna watch some Ninja Turtles...
Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson. My favourite track off The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than the Driver of the Screw and Whipping Cords Will Serve You More Than Ropes Will Ever Do. Makes me melt.
I still can't get over Sunday night's Pitchfork Festival closing R. Kelly set, but then again let me remind you he is the king of RnB. With a set list 38 songs long, plus some amazing freestyles and some sweet acapella jams the man proved why he's been preforming for 27 years, because he's damn good at it. That why he can open with the remix to ignition and close with balloon doves floating in the sky, reminding us that if we believe, we too can fly.
Heading home from Chicago to check out a local Chicago kid. Tonight Chance The Rapper takes on Toronto at the Hoxton. This opening track to #AcidRap is one of my favs; it's been my summer wake up jam.
Above is the Japanese version but incase you're not fluent there's an English version below. The babe NY duo play Pitchfork Festival later today.
Because tonight there's a Pitchfork Festival Boiler Room afterparty ft. Jaques Greene, Nicolas Jaar, Todd Edwards, Ryan Hemsworth and more. I'm too stoked.
Caught this dude live during the NXNE & M for Montreal Bruise Cruise a month back.
He's a good time. Plays Pitchfork this afternoon.
Make sure to peep @NXNE for livetweets of this year's Pitchfork Music Festival.
I'm currently roadtripping to Chicago for the Pitchfork Music Festival.
I wonder if my friends will let me play KPop in the car as we drive down...
I love this for a lot of reasons, one of them being the veres kind of reminds me of Blondie?
Hot jam for a hot summer.
They take over Toronto's MOD Club tonight and Chicago's Pitchfork Festival this weekend.
They're pretty bad ass right?
A great video by Live Action Fezz for these lovely unsigned and under-appreciated locals.
All in all I dig it.
Because the Stones doc Gimme Shelter is playing for free at Christie Pits Park tonight.
Check out the trailer below. Come join me at 9pm and bring snacks!
Sigh. Soothing sounds to match my sick Saturday spent in bed.
Because destruction is fun.
My favourite Odd Future video hands down. A Terry Richardson photo shoot that's gone completely off the rails in the raddest way. A new classic to say the least.

You should also give Groundislava's remix a listen. It's good.
Because the power has been out and my internet has been down for the past two days.
After a day of rain and mud at TURF the rain cleared up just in time. Tonight was my second time seeing Belle & Sebastian. Tonight was the second time I saw them and couldn't stop smiling. This band. Sigh. So many high school memories. Still stuck in the post show twee daze.
Some Bay Area cloud rap for this lovely summa Saturday.
The track is off their upcoming album 808s & Dark Grapes III produced by Friendzone.
