Isn't it a Pity (RIP Doug Randle)

*It's Doug Randle's birthday today and my thoughts are w/ his family and music. The loss of a loved one is something that we will all encounter at some point in our lives and it's good to accept it, however difficult, as a challenging part of life's journey. Unfortunately, my brother from another, Dane Goulet, just lost his mother, Patricia Chauncey (1953-2015), and there was a full and fitting tribute/gathering/art exhibit at the Chapel Arts facility over the weekend in her memory. Patricia was a trailblazer in human rights and social work in the downtown east side of Vancouver, raising awareness, for one, about the childhood poverty that exists in our inner city schools. She was also a mother, a partner, a friend to many, as well as an extremely talented artist. Though I didn't have the luck to get to know her, I was moved by the words and feelings shared at her service! It reminded me of what my good friend Carlos Icaza recently said about death from the Mexican perspective during a DJ set on Dublab radio: "For the Mexican culture, death is a celebration. Death is a time to remember the ones that left us, family and friends, and it's a party. It's party time because life it's a party and death must be a party too!" Thanks for the insight Carlos! I will heed those words... People and things are very easy to take for granted so please celebrate every moment and always remember what has come before... In LIFE and in DEATH!!! PEACE

rockelene

*y'all heard of smiths' guitarist johnny marr, right??? well peep buddy marr!@#$%!!! just got back from a hell of a road trip looking for old dogs and records. was even able to catch my fave rock band ladyhawk a few times on their 10th year anniversary tour!@#$%!!! the hommie birdapres was along for most of the journey, likely the illest yet!!! will try and post a couple snaps soon, but for now, lay back w/ a sweet rockabilly jam by tex pedersen and his sunset ramblers (featuring buddy marr), a lil' treat i copped from doctor dave north of saskatoon... PEACE

if and only if

*if and only if is the latest jam from birdapres (along w/ co-conspirator and music man grejay), at this point, a cassette-only release... this is about to change soon!!! check yer local social networking site(s) for more information... any which way you press play, if you like to hear intelligent rappers rap or drums that crash and bash and or vintage synthesizers and recording equipment, do yourself a favour and check this out. it's bonkers!@#$%!!! sorta cracks me up though. there's so much hype and hysteria about certain rap artists smothering the internet. i KNOW that this release won't garner even a mere fraction of the talk about whatever it is that rap fans talk about these days (pharrell's latest hat??? does pharrell even rap???), but for those looking for something a little deeper, and a lot more rewarding (w/o catering to some corny ass throwback shit or holy hipster hoopla), if and only if might be your ticket to a new reality... PEACE

EQ - swellsville (1991, vancouver)

"Much could be said about the potential impact of this missing classic, and what could have been. To hear it is to understand. No Hip House or love songs. No clumsy attempts at pop accessibility. Hard beats, fresh rhymes and scratching. The sort of thing that heads in 1991 would have latched onto gratefully."
