Today there is a one-day student strike at Concordia University. But no matter where you go to school, even high school (in fact, especially high school), please show your solidarity by not attending classes.
Boom Bip & Dose One - "Birdcatcher's Return (Circle) [Live]"
My friend Jon sent this to me with the message "this is great". Agreed, Jon. Is it hip-hop? No one cares. From what I can tell it's Dose One (or doseone) being backed by cLOUDDEAD (as I believe they do on his whole album) but in a John Peel Session. I guess consider this my contribution to the Peel retrospective thing that's been going on. I read somewhere that one of the most striking things about him was how he could stay so open to new music for so much of his life. I really want to be like that. If you're reading this, and you wrote that, take your credit in the comments. [Buy other doseone]
video games - TMNT Arcade Game Fire!
I'm just writing it down like it appears on my computer. This is a relic from back when I would just search kazaa over and over again for the words 'arcade fire', knowing full well I wasn't going to find anything. But I kept this because, if I remember correctly, this is from the opening level of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II (and then a colon and something like "Arcade Version" or something). The fire comes from the level being set in a burning hotel. Yeah, I had that game.
Also, our gracious music host, [un]known to most of you as "Steve", is no longer able to host the music. But thanks so much to him for all he's done, and all for free! If anyone has any ideas on what to do next, or if you want to thank Steve, email me
