stream a new butch walker tune

Arjan Writes is streaming a new Butch Walker track.

If you don't know who Butch Walker is - if you listen to pop radio at all...you'll know his shit.

He's written for Avril, American Hi-Fi, La Lohan and Tommy Lee...great pop rock!

Saw him at the Mod Club a while ago and he was awesome. Hope he comes back around soon.

.: stream audio:. Butch Walker "Bethamphetamine"

pete...oh you poor bastard

The SUN published some photos of PD injecting a (seemingly) unconscious girl.

CLASSY!

But, I guess a Junkie is as a Junkie does.

That was just one reason to hate Pete....but, there are so many.

Like the fact that the Babyshambles CD is a piece of crizzap (when compared to the Dirty Pretty Things album).

Mr Ashcroft summed it up pretty well

"If there's any drug addled rock star out there listening, all you're going to be is a picture on a T-shirt in five years time on some poor kid who thinks you were cool....But all you'll be doing is rotting. There'll be worms eating you."

you tube. i tube. we all tube!

So, i'm addicted to You Tube.

Not only can you get to see commercials that don't air in North America but there are some very bored cats that have posted videos that i have either long forgotten - or have never seen.

and, so - with that in mind...may i present:

.:video:. Jack White's Coke Commercial
.:video:. Take That's Video for "Do What You Like"

the cribs

if you've heard the new telus commercial with the parrot...then you've heard the new cribs single 'martel'...and, if you haven't heard it...you should...it's awesome.

just waiting to see if this will have the same impact that the ipod commercial had on jet (where's their new album btw???)

.:mp3:. the cribs - martell

steady as she goes

i'm listening to the new song by The Raconteurs...feat. Jack White.
very goooooooooooooooood!

also loving:
new richard ashcroft cd "keys to the world"
inxs "switch" and "kick" albums (the show revived my L.O.V.E. of this band...both original and extra krispy versions)
arctic monkeys "whatever you think i am, that's what i'm not"(very excited for them to open the oasis show)
jenny lewis "rabbit fur coat" (very cool alt-country)
the hard fi (move over killers...you have competition) - do yourslef a favour and listen to "hard to beat"

peace out.

the geek in the pink

so, last night...after MUCH anticipation Jason Mraz rolled into Toronto for a show at the Kool Haus.

Unfortunately for me there were a couple hurdles to my enjoyment of the show:
1. I was alone...no one could/wanted to come with me.
2. Jason didn't get on stage until 9.30 and i was TIRED!
3. (and most importantly) i was sick.

I think I caught something at conference last week - but, coming back to work this week - EVERYONE was ill.

Tuesday my sickness came back full force.

I couldn't last through the entire performance. I was so tired i was sitting on the floor in the corner. I wasn't watching the show (couldn't see him from where i was on the floor) - so, at 10.45 i decided to go home.

this morning - called in sick.

BUT, i did get to meet mr a-z again..and, this time i got to take a much better picture than the one i had before.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND, i got to hear Sleeping To Dream live...truly awesome.

.:mp3:. jason mraz - sleeping to dream
.:mp3:. jason mraz - you and i both
NOTE: both songs are the live versions from "tonight, not again")
