What’s new for 2011
It’s been a while since a proper post on here so let’s get down to business.
This year has already had it’s ups and downs for many of us but there are still 10 months to make up for it, right?
a few things are in view for Beat Axis and myself.
First off, as you’ve probably noticed, this site is getting a re-design. It’s slowly piecing together but hopefully over the next week it shall be ‘completed’ (who am I kidding? nothing can ever be ‘completed’)
Secondly, my first gig this year will be on Apr 2nd, 2011 along with my Beat Axis crew (click here for details) . Since it’s a few peeps bdays included, expect to have a hangover the next day. As usual you’ll hear a mix of genres and get a delightful aural treat.
That’s all for now. I’m going to get back to doing up this site. Hopefully my next post will be more informative heh.
oh yea…don’t forget to hit up my facebook page and follow me on there since I seem to update that more often than this…If only I could pick the most ideal updating platform to centralize everything…hmmmmmm..
Cheers for now and have a safe and fun weekend!

Apologies to all of you who waited patiently last week for the post that never came. As most of you already know, I recently started a new job that’s been consuming a lot of my time (but I’m FINE with that
)
So this weekend is a very close friend’s birthday so I’m going to feature some tracks that he and I used to just smile to whenever we heard them at parties. Before I start off, here’s the info for our party tomorrow, do come by and have a few drinks with us.
…………………..On second thoughts, from now on this will be done on Saturdays. I really don’t have time on Fridays anymore. So until tomorrow, take care

Today, being Good Friday, I’d like you all to have a listen to one of the best soundtracks to a musical…
…you may have guessed which one already. Yes, it’s Jesus Christ Superstar (1971).
Here’s a little excerpt from the Wikipedia article (link):
Jesus Christ Superstar is a rock opera that became a musical by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber. It highlights the political and interpersonal struggles of Judas Iscariot and Jesus that is not described in the Bible. The rock opera is based on St John’s Gospel account of the last week of Jesus’ life, beginning with the preparation for Jesus’ and his disciples arrival in Jerusalem and ending with the Crucifixion. Twentieth-century attitudes and sensibilities as well as contemporary slang pervade the lyrics and ironic allusions to modern life are scattered throughout the political depiction of the events. Stage and film productions accordingly feature many intentional anachronisms.
You may or may not be a Christian or for that matter even a theist. this soundtrack however was, and still is, a masterpiece.
My dad would play his records of this album as a tradition every Good Friday. I don’t know why we didn’t listen to it today…hmmm
Do NOT, I repeat, do NOT watch the movie from 1973 because that was just painfully stupid to watch (featuring aircrafts, tanks, guns etc)
Well lets just get down to a few of the tracks:
What’s The Buzz/Strange Thing Mistifying
I Don’t Know How To Love Him
Pilate’s Dream
This Jesus Must Die
And of course, If possible, pick up the album either digitally or at your local music store if those sparked an interest….definitely an album worth having in your music collection
Until the next time, take care.

Oh what a cold, rainy day it is, here, in Toronto. Many of you have been eagerly waiting for the Friday classics and no, I shall not be doing anything Oasis related for a while. ha.
I thought of a few themes for this week but they would be reading intensive (and I’m in such a lazy mood to type) so I’m just going to post some tracks from the past that hopefully will bring back memories to some and be an introduction to others.
ETA – Casual Sub (1997)
Soul Coughing – Super Bon Bon (Propellerheads Mezzanine Mix) (1996)
Shanks & Bigfoot – Sweet Like Chocolate (1998)
Ian Pooley – Balmes (2001)
Sa Trincha – Sa Trincha (1997)
Prodigy – 3 Kilos (1994)
Don’t let the weather get you down. Have a great weekend, folks!
