I'm Still Alive!

Moving houses, no Internet, a lack of motivation for blog updating. All rolled into one burrito of sloth equals five months of no updates.

The show is still on! Updates coming soon!

P-P-P-Premier, DJ Premier

This Thursday (the 26th) Ottawa will have the honour of having DJ Premier spin at Heaven nightclub. You cannot miss this show, it will be completely off the chains! Primo has had his paws on an absolutely epic amount of amazing rap music in the past 20+ years and if anybody knows how to rock a party, it is him. Come out and wild out, it will for sure be a crazy evening!

Here are some Primo goodies to get hyped on in preparation for Thursday:
DJ Premier - Crooklyn Cuts Tape C (Part 1)

Some classic Talib Kweli and Mos Def on this week's show. Talib is the man, simply for the fact that he dropped this line in Respiration: "It's a paradox we call reality. So keepin it real will make you casualty of abnormal normality." In terms of this track, Hi-Tek creates one of the most laid back beats ever in 2000 Seasons, piano loop with snap-crackle of the record it is from laid on low volume under the heavy snare hit and background ambient sound- just beautiful.

Anyway here's a link to the tracks from today:

I just realized that this past week's show had a ton of old mainstream classics. Nothing better than "The Blast", I probably have a groove in my Reflection Eternal/Train of Thought CD where that track is.

Edgar Allen Floe??

Yes the Justus League member has far and away the best stage name I've personally ever laid eyes upon. I played some of his songs just to make sure that I wasn't dreaming and it turned out they were for the most part complete bangers so not only does the man have a superb name but the beats are 9th and the lyrics are fire. WOO.

Shhh, I put an end to the wee(a)k like Friday...

Speaking of which, I was a brick and forgot to save the August 7th show after recording it, so it is forever lost in the annals of CKCU. There was some real good stuff in there but I'm grabbing a youtube to .mp3 converter in a second to help ease my pain and upload some of the tracks for download.

On another happier note, there are two new shows available for download in the archive above so go ahead and grab 'em. Disregard my mindless babbling and frequent mistakes. They were both pre-recorded (which should probably make them mistake free but alas) as I am currently not even in Canada to do the show but the mixes are decently done and the tracks grimy and sloppy as they come. Dirt.

Mhz - This Year

Sneak peak of tommorrow's ish....

**CRiMeDaNCe CaRTeL- MoNey iS KeY**

Back With the Ill Behaviour

Things went decently except for the fact that I played Sylvia Striplin again when I had the wrong CD in, and the meltdown of the CD Player while Damn! was playing....DAMN! And the fact that I announced Mos Def instead of Talib Kweli multiple times for "The Truth", it wasn't The Truth. And that I sometimes babble on like like like a Valley Girl - wooo!

Whatever though enjoy my blunders, look this show is downloadable above!!
