cobain. in coffee foam?

After an emergency ride to the local Rexall this morning for coffee filters, I came home and saw this video posted on Alan Cross' blog. Thought it was fitting for a Sunday morning while having your morning cup.

I love when an AD conveys a message in a creative way. This is why I'm getting a kick out of these new 30sec spots for Pet Adoption. Here's the two I like the most. Shouts to the creative team behind these and whoever does the voiceover work...

If you're a regular reader of this blog, you'll know that I'm a huge fan of both Madlib (aka emcee Quasimoto) and Guilty Simpson. If you're not a regular reader and not familiar with these two, I suggest you check out both dudes. Definitely two of the most talented artists in Hip Hop today. Now the two heads have hooked up to create OJ Simpson. Check out this teaser single from their forthcoming release..

she's not there - the zombies

One of the most magical bands from the 60's with some of the most beautifully written lyrics from that era are back. The band, now featuring Colin Bluestone and Rod Argent will be performing old and new Zombie tracks on July 15th at The Mod Club here in Toronto.

some cowboys like me go out like that..

I don't really listen to country songs too much. I don't really listen to country period. However, over the years, I've been able to come appreciate the music. Over the years, I found I've only liked country music when they were duets. Thought I'd count down my Top 5 Country Duets of all time....


1) Islands in The Stream - Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton


2) I Need You - Tim McGraw and Faith Hill


3) Jackson - Johnny Cash and June Carter



4) Two Story House - George Jones and Tammy Wynette


5)The Heart Won't Lie - Reba and Vince Gill

excursions - de la soul (j period tribute remix)

It is a testament to the classic status of A Tribe Called Quest's seminal "Excursions" that few true hip hop heads are incapable of finishing the classic line... "Back in the days when I was a teenager..." So it is fitting that J.Period's unprecedented "Best of Q-Tip" mixtape arrives with a revival of those classic lines... by another set of Native Tongue legends... De La Soul. One week before the long-awaited release of J.Period's "Best of Q-Tip," Truelements is pleased to present: J.Period f. De La Soul "Excursions (Tribute Remix)

vmt: rarities

I'm not too huge on RnB. I like it and all, but it doesn't take too much time on my headsets. I guess it's that type of music - much like jazz and soul and boggie where I have to be in the mood for it. I'm not putting it down whatsoever. I really enjoy it. I wish I listened to it more, but most of the time, I would just stick with the stuff I like to listen to daily. Hip Hop. Ska. Classic Rock. Motown. Brit Pop. Those are my tops. Anything else I have to have a craving for. Last night I was listening to a bunch of stuff that don't really get high rotaion on my iPod or my computer or on my CD player. It's a bunch of different types of music that I love but just don't get to check out very much. Here's an example of what I heard last night in an enjoyable night of digging for something different.
