Pretty cool mix from a really great blog! And volume 7 no less. Think I have some catching up to do!
Oh, and for the record, I also have a mix called Oh Canada! and a newer mix too!
Ho-ly awesomeness! The Toronto electro-duo Woodhands have come out and completely put the smack-down on Pitchfork.
From the Exclaim News article:
With the use of some LCD Soundsystem-styled beats, the pair throws some serious hate towards the website, with the group’s Paul Banwatt dissing everything from Pitchfork’s poorly coded HTML to its ’90s-styled design to its decimal-equipped reviews. There’s also the kick-off line, “Pitchfork is a waste of bandwidth / content so thin it needs to eat a sandwich,” eventually adding in an edit where Kanye says, “Pitchfork doesn’t care about black people.”
In all honesty…it’s about freakin’ time someone said something. It was too much for me to see staff just stand around and act too fucking cool to notice Sunset Rubdown was playing right in their office during a Pitchfork.tv session.
A couple of months ago, I ended up at the premiere of Born To It, a simple and inspiring film by director Tim Thompson about “creating, sustaining and chasing your dreams.”
The 92-minute documentary features the musical journeys of five independent Toronto-based musicians and the roads they have travelled to sustain their artistic existence.
Almost missed this one! Great track on CBC Radio 3’s Blog by Dog Day (Halifax, NS). Fun, poppy, and instantly catchy!
