THE RUB HISTORY OF HIP HOP

It's a free education, like what you get in Canada if you take out loans, are very smart, gifted at sports or had your land stolen from your ancestors by the white man.

MAN LIKE ME - OH MY GOSH

Raving about hip hop is nothing new, neither is ranting, but:

"Thou shall not think that any male over the age of 30 that plays with a child that is not his is a pedophile, some people are just nice"

"Thou shall not use art music or poetry to get into girls pants, use it to get into their heads (first: ed)"

"Thou shall not steal if there is a direct victim"

DAN LE SAC Vs SCROOBIUS PIP - THALL SHALT ALWAYS KILL

British Hip Hop at it's finest, I wish I didn't have to qualify that. Listen close...it's grimey.

PLAN B - PAINT IT BLACKER

This next song is especially good to blast in the office if you are on the verge of being fired from a job in London for producing a segment that made fun of Maroon 5. That last statment was all autobiographicalized. That is why I'm hot.

SKINNYMAN - I'LL BE SURPRISED

To purchase music, try HMV.com or turntablelab.com or amazon.com, or just google the name of the record you want to buy.

You don't even have to put in the huh tuh tuh puh. You could go to a record store. Make an actual effort as well as a monetary expenditure, like this guy:



Shout out to all my former Hoomv bretheren from St Vital Center to First Canadian Place, I'll be back on home soil someday, expecting that discount. If I have to steal, I've still got the uniform.

I just tried to find a copy of Phantom Power by The Tragically Hip in this flapartment and didn't find one. I wanted to post this:

FIREWORKS - THE TRAGICALLY HIP

Nuff Day For Night in this old school.

Doing my GMT best to stay on the NHL Playoffs right now, after all, in London, with no cable, I would have to go to the Canadian Pub every night to watch games that the internet has already revealed the outcome of.



On "Canada Day", Canadians in London merge American jingoism with British dipsomania.



I don't know whether to call it "dipsoism" or "patriomania."

Dipsoism

The review neglects to mention Moosehead...in a bottle (oh!). Yes, that review is from a website called fancyapint.com.

This was the only clip I could find featuring "Orgasm Guy." It's worth watching just to hear Norm Macdonald say "C'est impossible there."

"Dude, did you just use dipsomania and jingoism in a blog post?"

Dennis Millering vocab and refurrrrences like, Ron Hextall trying to use a hardcover copy of the Da Vinci Code to bribe security at to let him smoke a Player's Light King Size in Lester B Pearson Airport (impossible).







Winnipeg is my hometown, and we still remember the "Hawerchuck Trade", but The Stencil is running sharp, glistening and pointed (literally, bullet points, numericals) Sabres Playoff Coverage.

They are about to form the internet into cascading rings of cardboard and cover it in aluminum foil.

According to The Stencil:

"caps: I am listening to "rock you like a hurricane - the symphonic version" ON REPEAT"

If you need to ask why, then get there and hear the stomping tatanka (NOT the wrestler). Let's just say that there are brief run downs of pre-game rituals, anthems and meals. You cant spell Fandom without, DAMN!

Caps (of veteran Dj duo Caps and Jones fame) who runs the blog also made Bouillabaisse is a shockingly good mix that will crackle and explode in your ears, like the sound a crowd of angry Winnipeg fans screaming "B-C-SUCKS!"

To think that kids in Winnipeg once thought this man could save like a messiah:



I once held up a sign that said "No Foolin' With Khabibulin!"



Actually, it said this:



They tore down Winnipeg Arena and moved our hockey team to P-H-O-E-N-I-X!




Thou shall not ever put your hands up or make some noise for Detroit.



I have a British Columbia driver's license, so I'll close with the one truth about the hockey playoffs and life as a Canadian.

"When the Chips are down and the snow is melting, never trust the Senators in Ottawa, and whenever you get the chance, throw a jersey on. and (Can) NUCK IF YO BUCK!"





Look in his eyes. It's B.C.

Little and Luda

Did you know?

Plastic Little are wicked entertainers, stand up guys, borne from a collective of literate current of radness in Philledelphia, and they are also those super dudes.

Yoyo got rocked, Mark Ronson was playing his hits of the near future, but took time out to thank the guys for doing what they do. What is this a gossip column, and Mark's sisters were seen having lunch at the Ivy with...

After he sang "Stop Me", I wanted to find Daniel Merriweather and go "HARDEN THE FUCK UP AUSTRALIA", but I was boozing with Plastic Little, learning that they do these too:

In all the trippery we spent massive time talking about how excited we are for the Biz Biz UK tour. A note to goth girls everywhere: you can rock tons of pink and still be very good at witchcraft.



They are not witches, but damn their magic still messes up boys brains through internetting and afternoon speakerphone pow wows. More perog-atives on that as the invasion nears. For now, they run a Toronto nerdster hip alert photblog here



THE BETA BAND - B + A

Speaking of the letter B, Big Brodeller Baddyman Basement has been bashing his blog out the ballpark, and he's been to modest to tell me about it in any of our weekly internettings.

No Justice For The Phantom Of Old Rave

As I was walking through the train station on my way home from work, I walked into the middle of a flash rave. If you're unfamiliar witht he concept, click here

I got into it, as much as I did, because I was listening to this:

IT'S ME BITCHES (Remix) - LIL WAYNE, R KELLY, JADAKISS and SWIZZ BEATZ



I missed the start of the flash rave, and I guess that if you miss the flash you're never really in the picture, but it was a distancing experience. Everyone has headphones on, and is moving in different time to different music. When the real howling and hooting and hollering takes over, you have headphones blasting, so you miss the full effect of a group getting audibly wild.

I could hear the sound of the station in the background. Commuters are really loud. I was wearing headphones, not miracles.

WHAT PLANET, WHAT STATION (Instrumental) - DJ DAY

Maybe next time I'll run around changing headphones with cute girls.

I can play them this:

WILCO - ALWAYS IN LOVE



In this blippage of new raves and flash raves, I think an important thing to remember about raving is that sharing music, having fun and getting down are way more important than the question "Who is looking at me."

Making out with headphones on in a train station is like going for a moonlight walk on a beach wearing oven mits.

My homeboy Steve Honey bounces with a love for music, it crackles through the dude and you can faintly hear the love, even when there's total silence. He's been shredding dancefloors and putting them on his sandwich for years under the DJ CODA name, his new project is:
