If I were stuck on a desert island, here are a few things I might bring...
Ok, so I was just doing some background research on a less than scintillating Comedy Network show “Secret Girlfriend” and this hidden gem of internet literature from in Yahoo Answers popped up in the 4th hit. It’s pretty funny how the entire YA community has …
Your very own writer made the national news last week in a chance encounter with the CBC’s ‘The National’. My original statement was something to the effect of ” H1N1 is a scam being fueled by the pharmaceutical industry in cahoots with the government” but, …
Here’s a quick preview of DJ Hero’s lastest competition, Skratch: The Ultimate DJ, with code being produced by Toronto’s very own Bedlam Games. Skratch is backed by Nu-Mark Technologies, and Mix Master Mike.
This blows my mind, and is a proof that we are really living in the 21st century envisioned by our 80s cyberpunk brethren. Two rival toy companies are releasing brainwave powered ‘toys’ which seem more like byproducts from the US military’s Project MK Ultra. I …
Activision is trying really hard to expand their audience and it looks like DJ Hero will be a game changer f the video gaming scene. A ton of artists like DJ Shadow, Daft Punk, Eminem, The Scratch Perverts and J-Hova were involved in making the …
You know Basement Jaxx have reached critical mass when you hear drunk homeless people taunting each other with lyrics to ‘Where’s Your Head At?’ The DJ/Production duo showed up at Century Room on a Tuesday night to throw down a deep and dirty three hour house set.

Tim Buxom took the lead for most of the set, jumping on the mic periodically to stun the crowd with his ‘I’m-an-evil-demon-from-the-House-dimension-and-I’m-going-to-FUCK-with you-tonight’ voice using the effects filter.
It was great to see them in town, but it also made me envious of the Europeans and Koreans on the other side of the pond who got a taste of their full band with celebrity supporting vocalists stadium tour deemed ‘too expensive’ to tour North America.
Mad props and special thanks to the UGR (UnderGround Republic) Crew who co-hosted the event with Embrace Events.
The Dodo’s played to a full house last Thursday at Lee’s palace. If success is determined by ticket sales, then The Dodos are far from extinction. The Dodo’s are well known for their dynamic and innovative syncopation. Logan Kroeber played on a drum kit without …
This vid starts off slow but picks up around the 2 mn mark where it really takes off, pun intended.
It’s no surprise that puzzle games like the Professor Layton series are hugely successful in Japan, a country where prepping for elite universities starts at age two. Japanese folks have been taking to Prof. Layton on his quest for more Picarats, like their guilty hunger …
