If I were stuck on a desert island, here are a few things I might bring...
Melodrama sways away as summers end gives fall to all. Tonight I finished reading Irvine Welsh’s arguably masterful tour-de-force, Bedroom Secrets of The Master Chefs. A tragic story, as are most of Welsh’s, about the slick talking young man, Danny Skinner who, upon the eve …
Everybody needs some of this. Seriously. Jesse aka Supertoaster really is the future, man. Get ON IT!

“Welcome to Friday everyone. We made it another week and I believe we probably all deserve a little something to help us relax and unwind. Luckily I have just the thing. Light Of Day by Jesse Futerman. I’m labeling it a podcast but don’t get it twisted this thing is an ALBUM. You might remember his music from the last podcast we dropped from Ben (A.K.A. Jack High) a few days back.
Hailing from Toronto Jesse Futerman is only 17 years old. His music would suggest otherwise as its patience and calmness stinks of a person twice his age. We should keep an eye on him for sure. He’s going to be dangerous.
We have been working for about a year to bring this album to you and we hope you enjoy it as much as we have enjoyed the process of getting everything just right.”

Canada is hurting for a Canadian version of Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew. (Sidenote: I’ve recently discovered that …
Watching Mew hit the stage at Vfest, my first thoughts were “how could such a small, unassuming band be capable of such tremendous power?” Then it hit me, it’s 2:30 pm, there is nary a stage setting and a sparse crowd of 100 odd concert-goers …
So some of you may know that I’ve been taking part in a nutrition study where I am getting free produce and whole grains shipped to my door thanks to U of T, St. Michaels Hospital and FoodShare. One of the crazy veggies that comes …
I was fortunate enough to attend this intimate Q&A with dubstep/bass music/glitch-hop-what-have-you producer Flying Lotus, at the Toronto Red Bull office. In case you are wondering the interviewer was his opening tour dj, My Man Henri.
Below is most of the recording. It’s about 80 minutes in length, divided in to three parts. What its missing is mainly the plug for the Red Bull Academy, which is a two week long retreat sponsored by, you guessed it, Red Bull, where artists get to cultivate their musical talent amongst other worthy, up and coming artists, at no expense to the artist. Sounds dope? Apply yourself. Be warned, the application is a good 50 pages long and is as arduous and wacky as a Scientology intake form, but with way better benefits…trust me! So go apply now! You have until July 27th.
BANNED VIDEO, MUST SEE!
If you see this man in the streets of Toronto, or anywhere in the world even, avoid him at all costs, especially if you are female! Especially don’t go see his one man show, Illegal Import, at The Tranzac, 292 Brunswick Ave, at 10:30 on …
