Just make this annoying thing go away.
I just uploaded a bunch of pictures to Flickr, go check them out. The Cirque people treated us well, I gotta say. No difference between journalists and us as far as they were concerned. Security at the Bell Centre, on the other hand, is another story entirely. Despite explicit permission from the Cirque people allowing [...]
My computer is slowing to a crawl. I’m uploading about 300 photos and five videos onto my machine before I move them all onto flickr pretty much without editing. I know it isn’t the smartest thing to do (or the coolest looking) but I’m trying to give a good idea of what’s going on here. [...]
Update: The new pictures can be found here. I don’t really know how to announce this, so I’ll just do it straight up: Cirque du Soleil has handed M-C two press passes to blog the premiere of Delirium, its new live music and performance event, and she has decided to take me. This is the [...]
I’m currently building some ‘Best of IOYH’ links for the sidebar on my page. If you’re into it, check out the ones I’ve chosen and give me your opinion on them, or recommend your own. Give them a shot if you’ve got nothing to listen to right now.
Another day, another cool way to tag stuff on the internet. I was alerted by listener Alex that it is possible to tag content on Amazon with whatever you want. In this case, he has tagged the following albums with ‘inoveryourhead’. This could help people find albums on Amazon simply by looking for that tag. [...]
Today’s Dinosaur Comics about vegetarianism.
The first traditional show in over a week. Lots of good music today, not just hip-hop! And even if it was, you’d be allowed to like hip-hop! (Listen for explanation.) Supernatural – ‘Suckaz feat. Vinnie Paz’ (Amazon) Tragic Shell Suit Disaster – ‘Autobiography’ (PMN) Grouch & Eligh – ‘Everafter’ (Amazon) J.P. Mortier – ‘A Man [...]
Just discovered the existence of this 43 people page of mine, in which you can write what people you know, want to meet, or have met, and stories about said encounters. The interesting thing about the website is that literally every person can have an existence can have a page. Take as an example: Jerry [...]
(See also: About this podcast. This post previously titled: How to Rock Your Design) I get a lot of emails about my blog design. They’re always really flattering, and I must say that I’m personally very happy with the way my website looks these days; it took a fair amount of tweaking to have me [...]
This is so blog worthy it almost came straight out of my mouth. Ice Cube to release next album independently: What is a record company going to do for me that I can’t do for myself? Nothing. . . It’s nothing they can offer me to have a major percent of my record. It’s really [...]
Thanks to Bob and Mark for featuring my podcast on their 7th episode of Canadian Podcast Buffet. If you’re Canadian, CPB is a great weekly podcast that gives you an idea of what’s going on in Canadian podcasting. Short and sweet, as well as funny. Check it out.
I was sold on vlogging today because of this.
It’s at Laïka (4040 St-Laurent). Come join us, or at least check it out.
whether any useful information is actually delivered or not, we had a good time making this thing. and damn did i learn a lot trying to edit it. sorry about some of the quality of this thing, but that’s how we run over here at ioyh. direct link or subscribe the enhanced feed is up [...]
Hey Friends, Our favorite artist-cum-’criminal’, Roadsworth (a.k.a. Peter Gibson), who was arrested last year and faces 53 accusations of mischief for stencilling Montreal streets is facing his court case this Tuesday, January 17th at 9:30 AM at the Montreal Municipal Courthouse (775 Gosford Street, Rm. 1.90 Metro Champs-de-Mars). Anybody who doesn’t know his work, will [...]
this will have more detail soon, but i just finished editing this massive (informal) interview between myself and Neil Gorman of the Comicology podcast. we talked about his job, about kids and hip hop, put the whole thing on tape and decided to see who would find it interesting. let us know what you think. [...]
(this will stay on top for a while.) if you’re here from the Hour, i just want to say welcome and thanks for checking out the stuff i do here. you can (obviously) find my shows by clicking the podcast link on the right and subscribe in iTunes with this link. this will allow the [...]
just finished typing this out for a journalist, figured i’d put the unedited version here. it’s nice to have public records of interviews like this sometimes, and it’s kind of topical. so there. what is podcasting? podcasting is, at its core, just audio presented to you in a different way than you’re used to. what [...]
i wanted to finish a set before the end of the evening, and just did so now as i am going to bed. i won’t be putting it up onto the feed until morning, but feel free to download it now with this link if you’re into it. otherwise you’ll receive it later on Thursday. [...]
tomorrow, an article on podcasting and media democratization is coming out in Hour Magazine, a free Montreal weekly, and is written by Hour contributor Dave Jaffer, fellow Shift Magazine cult follower and adventurer at large.
it is due to this coming influx that i decided to (finally) review some of the elements
i watched this great interview with Buck 65 this morning, in which he talks about his life, his music, and the directions in which he is heading. he’s a highly unusual artist; one whose past is seeded in hip-hop but is moving in a direction no one else appears to be progressing in. i highly [...]
the iTunes Music Store seems to be following the montreal music scene closer than i imagined: there’s now a whole mix of Montreal iTunes Essentials. it’s actually rather comprehensive, and includes some Ghislain Poirier, Hexes and Ohs, Martha Wainwright, and Buck 65 (though he’s originally from Halifax). anyway, there’s a lot of good stuff in [...]
if you subscribe to my podcast through iTunes, you can now subscribe to the enhanced feed to get all the extra junk that comes with that. this includes chapters, album art, direct links to the artist/album, and all sorts of stupid pictures of me. available here.
have you officially hit the 21st century when you use AIM to talk to your girlfriend in the morning, instead of calling? whatever the case, i was invited to the local starbucks this morning (at mount-royal and brébeuf, for those keeping track) in order to attempt the starbucks challenge, v 3.5: So during this first [...]
well, that officially took forever, but now that it’s done, you can get the first copy of my podcast in enhanced AAC format (right-click or command-click and select save to get it). it includes chapters, album art, and a few weird pictures of me because i needed filler. you best appreciate. please keep in mind [...]
kinda weird how i planned out this whole show in my head (and even on paper), and then instead of that, this monstrosity came out. i like it though, i won’t lie. no Listen to My Friends Masturbate on this one, but it’s coming. oh yes. sadat x – ‘back to new york’ (amazon) theory [...]
it seems that the vibe recently around my social circle has been about selling yourself, promotion, or what we colloquially call hustling. there’s a lot of reasons for this – i think i’m starting to hang out with more people that make their own work, rather than have regular day jobs. this is a big [...]
i awoke today with a ringing in my ears to read Doctorow’s story on boingboing about Michael Chorost, a deaf hacker, who ‘tinkered with the firmware on his cochlear implant, trying to get it to faithfully render out Ravel’s symphony, Boléro, eventually meeting with success.’ as i’m sure some of you know, i’m becoming increasingly [...]
i talked a couple of days ago with prominent montreal blogger patrick tanguay from the strikingly-named i.never.nu. he asked me if i had yet to make my podcast enhanced – i said no, but asked why. he said he enjoyed listening to my rants but could do without the music. ah, the story of my [...]
you know what i would do if i had like, 2 minutes to spare? i would totally go fill out this podcasting survey because it is so totally super awesome and easy. like omg. and it would totally help the four sevens collective which is totally in right now. yah. update: more information seems to [...]
dear artists, you know i love you dearly. i play you on my show, i play you on my ipod, i play you at parties and to friends. i care about you. and i know you have a difficult job. you’re creative, and the man is trying to suck the juice out of you to [...]
although i’m not changing the look of my website, i have been working on a new thumbnail image that is displayed in iTunes and such. i’ve been on it for a couple of days and decided this would be pretty good. i realize that it has none of the colours of this website, but i [...]
i just came across this old banner on my hard drive. i think it actually happened before my switch to this blog design, so i think this may have significantly influenced my current look. i remember when i asked for some opinions a while ago from my colleagues, i remember kevin said it looked too [...]
it is now possible to review podcasts on the iTunes Music Store! i left one for m-c’s podcast a little while ago, but there are none on mine as of yet. attention legions of fans: please, at least one review? i love you guys, don’t you love me too?
please note that all further posts on this subject are being put on jogolog.com and planet capoeira’s the roda. hope to see you there.
i’m still working to get this specialized feeds thing working, but del.icio.us is seriously not helping. their last blog entry talks about power outages, and it looks like this may have been affected by it. either that, or i’m way off base. to get an idea of what we’re going to be doing, take a [...]
note the amazon link on the previous post and on the right (if you subscribe via the rss feed, i’m not sure if you’ll see it). i decided to experiment with them after several comments via email that people were buying albums after listening to my show. one of the reasons i have that is [...]
new year, show #100. thanks to everyone who has subscribed to this in the past, all you guys rule. direct link or subscribe black market militia – ‘thug nation’ (amazon:see right) eternia – ‘family’ (pick up the track at urbnet nu breed – ‘death’s design’ (podsafe music network) also: cc chapman’s accident hash
KBCafe appears to have come up with a pretty cool ‘subscribe via email’ rss widget which allows users to, you guessed it, subscribe to an rss feed by email instead of through a regular rss reader. i’m assuming this is something that’s easier for people who aren’t used to using any other program but their [...]
