Preview from Silkie

Silkie has been hyping up the remix he's doing for DJ Shadow, and today he finally uploaded a little preview. Its wonderful, like some 80's R&B. Cheesy but wonderful!

And on a completely different tangent; Here is the....funniest(?) video I've seen this week. Who wouldn't want TWO lightsabers for christmas?!

Is this the greatest parking job of all time?

Well, no, its not. He ends up bumping both cars, but still caused no visible damage to them. However, the fact that he still got in there is insane. Dude's got George Costanza swag.

Also, today is the last day of classes. Now a month of freedom (aside from finals)!

Lazy Friday

Ahoy there folks. I've been trapped in a dungeon the last couple of days writing essays, and I'm glad to temporarily be out. I also just picked up an iPhone, and while I still like the Android OS more...I can tell I'll be content with getting iPhones for a loooooong time. Their processing power seems to be a little bit more consistent, and to be honest, thats all I really care about. Anyways, I fell asleep in the school library last night and wasted a bunch of my day today sleeping, so here what is quite possibly Russell Peters only good bit. Dude is spot on with impressions and accents!

Have a good weekend!

Free Tunesday

Here's an awesome bootleg of Collie Budz "Come Around".

Come Around RMX **Free Download** by Rogue Star

Here's the original if you've never heard it before


Also, here is 5 free tunes from Gridlok (who I've featured in a previous post). This is some more experimental stuff, compared to his usual drum and bass material. Check it out and lets see what you think!

Rhinos...

...are not one to fuck wit'



Here is something even more strange. This twitter feed that is all "Sayings for Girls", where "She" (there has to be a few of them), are pumping out like 5-10 of these sayings an hour. Its quite....ridiculous I guess.

Also, yes Bart, West Edmonton Mall does have a shooting range. But there are a bunch of them; I think theres 3 or 4 here in Calgary too. When I was younger, we went to one and got to shoot .44 Mags, M-16's, whatever. It was too good.

Is it seriously only Tuesday?

I woke up this morning, feeling so good, thinkin it was Friday. Apparently its going to be a long week, but oh well. I have a couple of papers to finish up before the end of the month, so I figured it was going to be pretty busy.

Anywho, here are a few funny things I've found. First off, we got something as crazy as it sounds, and that is Volcano Surfing.


While they Volcano isn't active...these people are still zoomin down! 40 km per hour doesn't seem too fast when you're in a car or on a motorcycle, but when you're just on a sled its extreme.


Then there was also this article I found, with the worst tip you've ever seen at a restaurant. As a bartender, I would kill this dude.



And before I go, my friend's label, Tycho Records, has released a free compilation on soundcloud. Enjoy!

Fueling Change, and some other new stuff

First off, TGIF. I hate using that abbreviation, but I could not be happier with the fact that it is finally Friday. For one, most of my marks for midterm exams/projects were up today, and its nice to see most of my marks ranging from B's to A's. I'm glad to know all that slaving away in my room wasn't for nothing!

Anywho, for this update HERE IS YOUR CHANCE TO GO GOOD IN THIS WORLD. Some of you might have looked on the side of the blog in the twitter feed and seen something along the lines of "I voted for Fueling Change"...and have been wondering what that is. Essentially, Shell is vowing to give $25,000 in funding to a company who is "fueling" environmental change in our society. My girlfriend and her colleagues in Student Energy have entered this contest. In a nutshell, they put on international conferences to educate University students (and eventually, anyone and everyone) in the world of Climate Change and Environmental Sustainability, specifically energy. Now, back to that contest. The company with the most votes wins the $25,000, and there is probably some prizes for second and third place. However, if you could take a few seconds out of your day to sign up, and vote for this, it would be much appreciated. If you are a person who really thinks this is a great way to change how we think about the envrionment (or if you just reaaaaaaaaaaaaally like me that much), you can get 40 more votes by logging in with Facebook or Twitter, giving you a grand total of 50 votes! Again, voting on this would be much appreciated by me, the whole Student Energy fam, and our planet!

So enough of that sappy stuff. Here are two tunes I've been feeling lately. They're more experimental than usual, but I think you'll still enjoy them!

This first track comes from Old Apparatus...who I'm sure I blogged about before, but I can't find the post. Oh well. Theres no real way to explain this song...you just must listen. He had a pretty cool mini-mix as well, which you can find here.

This next one is from Kromestar's new "Parallel Sounds" EP (which is marvelous). It has that super old school 80's synth vibe; to be honest, it sounds like it should be the theme song to an old police/action show, or possibly a game show. Anyways, it is awesome.


Have a good weekend all! Don't forget to vote!

Oh, I'm So Mad....

While, I too am mad that Diablo III has to be connected to the internet to play, I don't think I'm on this level of anger.

New Tunes For Ya!

A while back I was talking about getting a youtube account together and putting up song previews and all that...and I've finally gotten it (somewhat together).

Heres a relaxing, liquid one from Subscape. It sounds a lot like another track he's done...but fuck it, I still like it.

And here is a crazy one from Mz Bratt and Royal T. You'll see what I mean.

And on the soundcloud tip; ever wanted to do the polka to electronic music? You have now (and I know this isn't actually polka, but its close enough damnit!)

Lowki - THE WAY SHIT GOES by KING BRACKET

And here's a nice, smooth house remix of Burial's 'Fostercare' from Simbad (free download as well!). Seriously, this is awesome.

And lastly, here is a preview of the first vinyl release from Tycho Records. Tycho was started by a good friend of mine named Treblesum (or as I know him, Kyle). He's done a lot for my cities dubstep/dnb/glitch hop scene, and good to see his label is finally taking off and getting enough money, and good artists to do vinyl releases. Check it!

Also, I've noticed we're almost at the 100 followers milestone, excellent!
