We Shine By Night

back in the day my buddies Tony & Scott would throw these crazy parties. all were welcome insuring an interesting mix of characters. spinning at these shindigs became a crash course in party selecting; djs had to jump from genre to genre in a smooth, varied & fun way to keep the folks happy and bouncing or it could turn ugly. come join the party and get on down with your bad self.

Empty Streets Too Dead For Dreaming

you wake up with a start. everything is too quiet. you get dressed and rush down the stairs out on to your usually busy street. there are no people. you roam the streets for blocks and don’t come across a single soul. something seems very wrong and you feel a strong need to see the light of day.

Songs About Nothing

there’s nothing easier i can do than lyin’ around doing nothing. sittin’ in the mornin’ sun, sky so clear and blue. nothing to do, nothing to say. go where you want to, take all the time you need to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free. everybody was having fun elsewhere; but tonight i just want to stay in and be with you.

Goin’ Down With The Poopship

Ween broke up. i will miss their rude, disgusting & silly sweet lyrics, catchy as hell melodies and amazing otherworldly guitar sounds. these tracks come from Ween’s 10 studio albums. if you like any of these songs go and buy the albums, they’re well worth it. much luv to Dean & Gene Ween.

Whither Canada?

for the 100th mix on my site i decided to try something completely different. as a life long Monty Python fan i have always been enthralled by how they segue from one obtuse sketch to the next. here i try to emulate that by using great music, weird spoken word segments and a healthy dose of silly bits. watch The Luv Of Music to witness the creation of this mix.

SYNTAX ERA

in celebration of a new weekly party called SYNTAX ERA here is a collection of music for those who appreciate the finer side of what the 1980s had to offer musically. enough remixes, b-sides, dubs, extended club mixes and long lost album cuts (with just a sprinkling of hits) to fill up a 90 minute cassette. clean your heads and get ready for the SYNTAX ERA.
