Reasons I am a terrible at this DJ thing:
I don't care what anyone else wants to hear.
I don't have sexy glossy photos.
I don't network.
I don't care about fashion.
Instead of going to other DJ nights I stay home and work on noise projects.
Chances are I do not have what you want to hear.
I get confused as to why people aren't in to what I am doing, but strive to not actually care, and stay focused.
I feel like I need to wipe the slate clean of that pretension, get back to my original focus, and stop comparing myself to DJs that actually have "success" or "demand" or "buzz" or any of that, because really that's never what it was about, but somewhere along the way I lost the plot.

Divergence Movie Night presents "Swimming With Lesbians"
Wednesday,
October 24th, 8pm:
Divergence Movie Night presents "Swimming With Lesbians"
Gays and
Lesbians don’t grow up immersed in gay history, it is something they must
search for. Swimming with Lesbians explores an upstate New York community’s
efforts to create an LGBT historic archive.
The archive is more than just the proof that the raw material of history
exists. It is for many an important acknowledgement of a struggle to be seen,
acknowledged and known.
67 minutes

Shanghai Restaurant, 651 Somerset St West

Bersarin Quartett - Keine Angst: Sweet soft delicate strings to nap to.
Bobby C Sound TV - Jelly Belly: Good ol' time classics with the big bass treatment!

Destiny's Child - Say My Name (Cyril Hahn Remix): Needs more cough syrup.
Easter Island - Frightened: Epic mopiness!
Flying Lotus - Between Friends ft Earl Sweatshirt & Captain Murphy: Stumblling through it all.
Jokers Of The Scene - Black Mountie: If you thought tech-house was a fully flogged genre, these electro Canucks have a thing or two to say about that.

MP3 blog 2012/10/12
blog 2012/10/12 - useless, forgotten, and working so heard like the rest of the hive
Andrew Bird - Desperation Breeds
Andrew Bird - Orpheo Looks Back: I've had time to let it simmer, and the conclusion is in: Bird's new album Break It Yourself is recommended, a more folkpop take on an intersection of Sandro Perri and Fleet Foxes.
Bear Language - The Ventriloquist, Part 1
Bear Language - The Ventriloquist, Part 2
Bear Language - The Ventriloquist, Part 3: I was tempted to just conjoin these, but naaaaah, here's this lovely epic pop song, in its original sliced form.
Bernhoft - Cmon Talk: Soul-tinged pop from the album Solidarity Breaks.
Born Gold - Sky Bicycle: Gobble Gobble is now Born Gold, and here he fires up the vocal processor patch he borrowed from Ween and rocks it over a snap beat.
Cultfever - Knew You Well (Eight Bit Tiger Remix): I dropped the original here before, but I've been loving on this gigley electropop rework.
Dose One - Last Life
Dose One - OwlShark: Are you a 13 & God fan? You'll be happy to know the new Dose One record starts from that point and keeps running. G is for Deep has similar structural similarities to the best of 13 & God, so you get all that minus the Acher crooning. Wholly unique and envigorating pop music, and definitely recommended for those in the know.
Erik Gundel - The Mountains Grow: Sweet and sentimental instrumental beauty from the album A Home to Keep You.
Ladyhawke - Sunday Drive (Villa Remix): Reminding me a bit of a Yeah Yeah Yeahs remix, this is just some straightup electropop fun.
Message To Bears - Daylight Goodbye: Lyricless post-rock crooning done oh so well, from the album Folding Leaves.
Radj - Aurora: Sometimes all you need for a smooth downtempo track is an upright bass sample, some chimes, and your break.
Simian Mobile Disco - Bad Blood: Oh that's right, bet you weren't expecting HOT CHIP on the vocals??? Hot hot hot.
Siskiyou - Twigs And Stones: With vocals sounding like the Rheostatics and a brass section that shines as much as when TMBG utilize one, this song off Keep Away The Dead is such a delight.
The KickDrums - Thieves In The Choir ft Casey Veggies: Kickdrums are up there with RAC for producing such super satisfying pop dance tracks.
Tours - Near Me
Tours - Point Culminant: Pitched low pop beat goodness.
Wild Ones - It's Real: Close it out with the tweepop goodness.

MP3 blog 2012/10/02
blog 2012/10/02 - the backs of my eyeballs ache with all that I see
7FT vs Snow - Lonely Morning (Refix): Time to ressurect the greatness of SNOW, fake patois an all!
Aaliyah - Enough Said ft Drake (Shlohmo Remix): Yes, it is only appropriate to bring back Aaliyah as a haunting demon of tragic regrets.
Ambassadeurs - My World: I bet you can't tell that I'm in to that drippy bass shit, right? Fucking GLIDE.
Chant of Victory - Right Now (80's Mix): This is what producers should be striving for: engineering your shit so it STRAIGHTUP 80S GOODNESS. This is some Kate Bush / Robin S pop brilliance right here.
Danny Brown - Die Like A Rockstar (Lou Cypher Remix): Love Danny's flow, but he always goes on too long and just says too much SHIT and then I'm all "meh, I don't need to listen to this…" but luckily this track is a distillation and doesn't overstay its welcome.
Dusky - No More: Sleep deep bass house vibes!
Echo Lake - Wild Peace: Sweet dream pop from the album Wild Peace.
Farleon - Millenium: HAPPY ELECTRO RAVE PARTY!
Ghost Loft - Blow
Ghost Loft - Seconds: Taking notes from The Weeknd, this is some chilled out rnb grooveness.
Horse Feathers - Fit Against The Country: The new album, Cynic's New Year, doesn't catch me like their last one, tragically. But check it out if you're down with the smooth roots folk.
Jack White - Blunderbuss: I never though I'd care about Jack White channelling his angsty Zeppelin, but here we are…
North Atlantic Drift - Waiting In The Afterglow: Epic IDM post-rock nordic wastelands adventure death spiral dream then wake up.
Sacred Animals Vs Steffaloo - On Fire: Dreamy breezey clicky beats with sexy vocals, never fails.
The Album Leaf - Descent: Ecstatic instrumental piece from the new album Forward/Return.
The Corin Tucker Band - Groundhog Day: Corin's all "yo! Remember me? I'M BACK."
The Mountain Goats - Cry for Judas: Transcendental Youth is the new Mountain Goats album and yeah umm it hasn't seduced me nearly as much as I was hoping it would. And I'm a pretty huge MG fan. I'm going to let this one simmer.
Thomalla - Alftavatn: Let's end this with some slickass tech-yo.
