Interesting Vancouver 2008

27 07 2008

Interesting Vancouver is an unconference that I will be helping to hype and maybe even speak at, if I can get my act together.  The premise is to hold a super relaxed conference where speakers are invited to speak for 20 minutes or 3 minutes on any topic they’re interested in, passionate about or super knowledgeable about.

It’ll take place on October 24th at the Vancouver Rowing Club and only cost $25. This will be one of those events that will make you proud to live in the cultural mix of Vancouver.  

Speaker List as it stands:

Explanation from main event organizer:

Hope to see you there. More details to follow.

 



Girl Talk in Vancouver at the Commodore

26 07 2008

Yup as expected Girl Talk threw the best party of the summer. Forget Pemberton, ya’ll should have been at the Commodore to see the cut and paste king (sorry Diplo) mash-up a record number of tracks keeping the ADD cocaine fueled crowd bouncing the whole time.
Check out new album here.
Some video I shot of the madness. My fresh white steps are wrecked now from being trampled on stage. I regret nothing.

Don’t know this girl, but I respect the fact that she rocks a Holga. I’m a little ashamed that I shot this with my tiny digital.



Converse Cool

21 07 2008

How can your brand not be cool if you associate yourself with N.E.R.D. and Santogold? Time to dust off the old steps and support the original Chuck Taylor movement.



Radiohead Has Done It Again

21 07 2008

I have no idea how this technique was achieved. It really flows well with the mind bending nature of the song. Well played yet again.

Air Cock Thrust

18 02 2008

If nothing else Spank Rock introduced the world to the dance move: Air Cock Thrust, also referred to as A.C.T. This move was a staple at house parties, clubs, and on public transit in winter 2006, so I’m a little ashamed that I’m only adding it now. Halfway through this video you’ll see a demo.



Average Homeboy

18 02 2008

Here I thought Eminem was the greatest white rapper out there. Clearly Average Homeboy was way ahead of his time.



Viva Radio: Internet Radio Mix

5 02 2008

Here’s my music advice for the week. You must check out Viva Radio. I found it through the American Apparel website, making me reconsider my boycott of their clothes. They also have some great pictures of Obama, McCain and Hillary. sidenote: I can’t believe Bill married Hillary back then. It must have been love, because love is blinding.
