Quickie

These tracks are going up on the b-line because I'm nearly late for work. I came across these three lastnight and you expect more content from them all in the near future. Julian Casablanca's '11th Dimension' has me searching near and far for more great music off his upcoming album. Meroz comes at us with a dandy titled 'Your Lover' that really gets me going places and finally High Five with a MJ tribute track titled 'Way To Go'. Be sure to cop these three and start your day out right!

Woods

When I wake up in the morning yearning for some jam band tunage, I reach for the rearhouse music men who speak to us under the moniker of Woods. Their album Songs of Shame has been racking serious play counts around here lately and I urge you to get your day going with their latest. Be sure to give their myspace some time and get to know this cool trio. The featured video accentuates their falsetto lead Jeremy Earl who hits them high on the track Rain On. The Acoustic Session was recorded in early April 2009 at 'Le Grenier' in Dijon, France. Look to the woods this fall my friends!!

Only Built For Cuban Linx Pt. 2

Let's toast to the fallen and the brand new. Raekwon's Only Built For Cuban Linx PT. 2 dropped early September 2009 and it's a treat to Wu-Fans, to say the least. It's not easy being the best. Coming hard on track after track, Raekwon's newest addition to the wu-tang collection is a back to the streets hip-hop long play that alot of people have been missing. The usual suspects can be found on various tracks and some new comers. In true-Wu form, Raekwon's dropped an ode to ODB track titled 'Ason Jones' which I've taken a liking to and provided for all of you to sample. I hope you get out and bump this album. Get yourself a g-bag filled like Raek's got in the caption and play it loud.

Can't Touch This

I've been away from the blog for a while with no new posts or even comments to pick what seems to be only my brain...at the moment. With millions of music and video blogs, why choose mine? Well, I will tell you why! Because I continue to strive to give you not only the music of today, but music of yesterday and days to come. In doing so, it's important that I post not only electronic music but genres of all shapes and forms. If you love music, you love all music. It's always been a motto of mine and I continue to challenge anyone who believes differently. I should've been a lawyer. God knows I watch enough Boston Legal to be a supreme court judge.

So with that being noted, it's back to the gully-ness that started this blog. Sadly this summers coming to an end and soon all the young chaps and lassies will heading back to their respective cities for their high-priced educations and campus jazz. If this is you, a little tip from a friend. Don't ever tag the jazz club on bathurst. If you choose to do so, run like the wind because the jazz cats certainly do! Why I would ever do such a thing you ask? Life experiences. I pride myself on life experiences and you should too! Who needs a bucket list when you have a life long list of gully trips and silly nights under your belt. I'm into simple things. I've flown once in my lifetime and I've lived in the same house for 23 years. I often think of how many times I've walked down my street and how many nights I've spent under the same roof.

With a life full of sport and game, I've always been about my music. Ask any of my friends about The Eagles and they'll speak you of my undying love for their music. Growing up in a family that loves to jive and dance to classics really opened my eyes to the beauty of music. Whether it's the long drives to the cottage with my dad drumming the dashboard to Steely Dan and many others in our wood panel Pontiac station wagon or spending days in the sun on Toronto Island with close friends and cold beers, music is my warm hug and it always will be. So back to basics it is.

This one goes out to the people I love!


Old and New.Through and through. These tunes go out from me to you. Enjoy!
