family affair (this friday!@#$%!!!)

*call it an unexpected surprise if you will, the stunt man and david loves jones (vinyl records) have joined forces to create a truly magical DJ night. w/ over 40 years of music experience between the two, family affair is simply music for music's sake, how refreshing. enhanced by save on meats' KILLER pop-up location burger bar (*i can't recommend this enough!!!) as well as a sweet selection of pinball machines, the good vibes are infectious to say the least. catch the latest edition of family affair this coming friday (january 24, 2014)... there's a rumoured guest appearance/DJ set from sipreano (i think it might be true)!@#$%!!! PEACE

a week from today...

 

*i'm taking a lil' VIN blog breather over the next week or so... they'll be (much, much) more soon, trust me. until then, let me leave you w/ some promo for the stunt man's long-running 45 throwdown (held at save on meats, 43 w. hastings, vancouver). monday, july 29's edition (7 pm till ???) will feature none other than 2/3rds of cratery: arcee and kaewonder (DJ serious is holding down the fort back in ontario). this is a rare opp to peep two TDOT dons do their thing, in this instance, drop record after record... black gold. funk, soul, reggae, psych, disco, you know how we roll... or DO you??? here's the perfect opportunity to rock w/ us!@#$%!!! PS - (LET THE) ROCK KOKANEE FLOW (4EVER)!@#$%!!! PEACE

CANADA DAY 2013

*i hope it's obvious to any readers of this blog, but "my canada" includes people from all backgrounds, cultures, and persuasions (aka the wonderful folks who make up this great country, except for "those" people, and for a day, we'll forget about them...). from our aboriginal population to the various immigrants and settlers who have made canada their home over the years, it is clearly a land of much diversity and depth, something i cherish dearly. one thing our various cultures share in common is MUSIC and it's been a great passion of mine to learn more about this eclectic breadth of sounds. from country to folk, reggae to pop, jazz, soul, rock and roll, and beyond, the output (and quest to find them) is E-N-D-L-E-S-S... this coming monday (july 1st), the stunt man and i will share a special hand-picked selection of canadian 7" vinyl singles for your listening pleasure. the hitch??? you have to make your way down to save on meats (43 w. hastings street) in vancouver, B.C.!@#$%!!! and while this night is sponsored by stiegl, you may catch this player sipping on something a little more suited to such a special day!@#$%!!! what do you think, should i finally crack the seal on that bottle of schramm organic gin!@#$%???

LIVE (IN THE MIX)

*shit got pretty craze at SAVE ON MEATS last monday. TSM had me down for another 7" session (i'd say "45," but i've been banned from playing 12" 45 rpm records)!@#$%!!! this live mix was from earlier in the night. wanna give a BIG shout out to FIVER who i drop at the end of the set (*new album coming out SOON on triple crown audio)!@#$%!!! it's SICK!!! later that eve i got a little cosmic (tape does exist), inspired no doubt by a lil' sipreano TRUTH IS LIGHT re-edit megamix. shouts to jason lev out there in LA LA land!@#$%!!!
