Oooh Ohhh

Daniel Wesley
Straight out of Vancouver, this B.C. native is sure to make you "get your groove on.
I have had the pleasure seeing Mr. Wesley live 3 times and also recieving 1 random hug.
His music is as if Jack Johnson and Damian Marley gave birth to an albino child.
It's intimate and raw at the same time.
His new album drops Oct. 20th!

Beauties

Empire of the Sun- Magical frolicing music, other-worldly videos and now sell outs. I'm not overly impressed that every band/artist out there feels the need to sell their songs to some corporation ie- Apple, Cadillac, Sony, etc. I didn't think this would happen with Empire of the Sun, but it did just the same as Justice. I guess the wise words of Liz Lemon can sum it up: "Suck it monkeys, I'm going corporate!"

White Snow Leopard!



My new musical obsession is this fantastic snow leopard Steve Aoki.
Anyone who starts of the show by snarling and hoping up on the speakers is a friend of mine.
One of the most exciting and innovative DJ's I have ever seen
