Big Tings!
Yes, this is why I dig a blog. You can use everyday words that your mother or third grade teacher would take offense or a red pen to.
I'm writing this from Fanshawe College - where I meet my interns Josh and Brit (and sometimes Sam who is mostly at the university) Monday through Friday. Yes, we be full time on this music tip. I listened The Roots, Do You Want More on the weekend and out it comes.
We have a dirty, dogg'in team this time around. Brit, our chief editor, is taking our third season and ripping it of dated material and content that no longer stands up. In our first episode (its on this page if you feel like being stimulated for 24 minutes) entitled 'Give It A Full Listen' we added west coasters soon to be on your posters (go ahead, steal my lyrics) Brasstronaut and Juno nominees Great Lake Swimmers. Keep an eye out for the GLS on April 18th, 2010, they were nominated for best traditional folk album. Also on episode one our intern Josh calls Alan Cross to discuss albums YOU need to give a full listen to start to back. I love that Cross gives some love to Nine Inch Nails, 'Downward Spiral'.
More than music, we are also about making you laugh. Our 'Special' Street Correspondent, Pat, hits the street to find out what album Londonders dig start to finish. Still cannot believe the four and a half year old boy who said Iron Maiden's first, self-titled LP was tops on his list. That kid is going to steal my job. Big shout outs to the indie guy on the bike who gave some love to Wolf Parade's 'Apologies to the Queen Mary'. This album was my soundtrack in Mexico. We have lots of photos available from this shoot, click here to see Pat in action.
This week, we are working on Holy Fuck. That's right, a phrase that includes a swear word, usually but not exclusively reserved for things that amaze us. Case in point, the four piece electronic-rock band from Toronto who go by the same name. They got their brand from impressed fans lost for how to express how blown away they were from their performances. "Holy fuck! you guys rule,' is what came out more often than not. The name has gotten them an unprecedented amount of attention. Maybe we should call ourselves blackdogfuckingmedia.tv?On second thought, this new brand has taken long enough.
Enjoy episode two. We hope it does not get us booted from local TV. If so, you can still catch us here. Thank god for beeps, our Boss Man (who gives us some love about our new segment Gorilla Video.
P.S. if you are a band who is looking to shoot something completely out of the box, find out more about GV on this page... I think), Pat tells us what makes him go Holy Fuck, and some random street swear words that will change the way you talk to your friends and family.
Keep it real world, but no real world for this guy,
