Check out the Fluokids Miam les fruits mix on their Virb page. I swear it won’t crash your browser like Myspace. (Thanks to Boris for the link.)
Everybody’s sending me Facebook invites. I’m going straight to
How to subscribe. My 150th show, done from the balcony of a hotel room during SXSW 2007. The state and future of the web and of media personalities, my position within the structure, and where I hope to be. It all came out. This was a great show to do. [Audio clip: view full post [...]
w00t, so I was tagged by Bill and Charlotte for this 7 song thing. You basically choose songs that you’re enjoying right now, share them through the post, and then spread it to more people. Here are mine. All of them I’ve discovered recently– I hope you like them: Up All Night, by El-P (eMusic) [...]
Hey, here’s an article about my favourite female rapper, Bahamadia. It includes two downloadable tracks– check it out.
This was seeded to me through a friend who doesn’t want to put it up on his blog. There’s a real market here, people! Someone has to come up with a market for Canadian porn. A few suggestions so far for possible films: Little Harem on the Prarie Corner Ass The Littlest Homo BeachCummers This [...]
Today is Bum Rush the Charts. With your help, we will push one independent, podsafe track to #1 on the iTunes charts, and help send one lucky kid to college. How can you help? Go here and follow the instructions. Half the proceeds from this will be going to a scholarship fund. And if you [...]
Twitter, yesterday, was the 653rd most visited site on the internet. Think about it. (Source: Alexa.)
A number of you have likely seen Naturally 7‘s subway rendition of In the Air Tonight. Check it out quickly if you haven’t (RSS readers, the video is embedded on this blog post): Have you ever seen something like this? Likely, you haven’t, and you never will– but have you ever considered why that is? [...]
Now I make a living on the cutting edge of radio. What did you do two years ago, and where have you gotten since then? Michael Butler was painting houses. Brian Clark was an assistant manager at a Burger King (or something). CC Chapman worked at a community college. I answered 80+ calls a day [...]
I accidentally marked all my RSS feeds as read. Hey wait, this actually feels good. You should try it. :)

I recently had a shift in thinking, previous to which I would refuse to blog anything ‘big’– this, on the principle that my readers would previously find it elsewhere. No longer though. That said, here’s this awesome video I came across a second ago. By the time you rea this, it may be across 5-10 [...]
Interesting series of events this morning: Credit card refused at a café, then at an ATM. Five seconds later, a telephone call: $5,000 defrauded from my credit card. Awesome.
Yulblog, the oldest regular gathering of bloggers on the planet, is turning 7 this Friday! The party is at 8pm, here, following the launch party of three Québec bloggers who recently got book deals. I’m in Austin, of course, but my heart is still over there (well, mostly). :)
What made this happen? I’m going to hazard that it was: 1) Ease of registration and use 2) Call to action, i.e.: “What are you doing right now?” 3) Community interaction
Ok, so while I don’t really use this power-of-the-internet thing on the regular, for the first time, I really need you guys. Observe: This Rock vs. Rap shirt by streetwear label Garbege is just recently out of print, and totally f’n awesome. I just saw it at a sneaker store here in Austin, but they [...]
I suspect it’s about time I got involved in video. Something weird is happening here at SXSW. Videoblogging is well-represented here, but podcasts, definitely not. I don’t see any huge podcasters either on panels, or in the audience. 2007 is definitely about video, and if you’re here, you see it clear as day. Is audio [...]
[Audio clip: view full post to listen] Direct download link Done with South by South West for the day, I think– or at least long enough to take some downtime. In this brief audioblog I discuss Galacticast, Jet Set Show, Steve Garfield, and some other stuff I really don’t remember. I wish I could say [...]
I could watch this all day. It’s amazing how useful and fun they’ve made this app with only, like, two employees.
Though Canada.com won’t archive the article, I still feel pretty good about JD Gravenor’s article, Podcasts: Letting parents hear what teens have trouble saying. It focuses on Listen To Your Kids, a project started this year to connect kids with parents. Go give it a read while it’s still online.
Seriously, it’s criminal that we all have to pay for music that sucks when stuff like this is free. This Definitive Swim compilation puts the previous freeload stuff I’ve blogged about to shame. Go grab yourself some of this. Do you guys detect a pattern here? A new way of making money with music? If [...]
How to subscribe. So I recorded this show last week that is to be my last ‘studio’ show in two months or so. So it’s rambling BS until that time! I’ll try to put some songs in there too, though, so don’t stress. I don’t remember much of what I talked about on this show, [...]
P.S.: I won an auction for this print at the Flickr party last night– I love its humour. Benefits went to Kids with Cameras, which is an awesome charity. (And hey: here are the other prints that were auctioned off.)
So I’m in San Francisco right now, chilling in a house we rented with Patrick and a certain girl. The next few days involve recording a podcast and general vacationing, getting together with some Podshow peeps and listeners to the show. Yesterday was Flickr’s 3rd anniversary party, which was super fun. The Podcamp Toronto thing [...]
