1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die - Listen... →
A Russian (?) site that features all 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die for streaming.
Totally not legal, but we won’t tell if you don’t.
And of course, page 25 is our favourite…

Tik Tok California Gurl$
Yesterday, I posted a streamable demo version of my latest (annual) mashup: Tik Tok California Gurl$.
Today, I am happy to present the final mix of the track, along with two alternate extended remixes, and an incredible remix from DJplaceboing which takes a more “bastard pop” approach that will absolutely blow your mind (believe me, it’s way better than mine).

Steph Says: Why Violent Protesters Are Stupid. →
First off, I’d like to point out I didn’t vote for Harper, just because I’m proud of that fact. That being said, you crumb bums should be protesting over in Ottawa, since they’re the ones who are screwing you over royally. Not the Starbucks that you’re destroying in Toronto.
God bless you Stephanie Dilts, you crazy muther-muther.
But still: these aren’t protestors. They’re...

Outdoor movies in Toronto this summer →
Really excited for the Y&D Square “Safecracker Cinema Series”. I only wish that I were around for Ocean’s 11. That said, Out Of Sight is almost just as good (as are Bank Job, Inside Man and Italian Job).

That Ol' Hitchcock Wit
After the film’s release Alfred Hitchcock received an angry letter from the father of a girl who refused to have a bath after seeing Les diaboliques (1955) and now refused to shower after seeing this film. Hitchcock sent a note back simply saying, “Send her to the dry cleaners.”
Happy 50th Birthday Psycho. If you have still yet to see the film, shame on you. Get yourself...

WatchThe Great American Student Film: The Making of a Disaster
A trip down memory lane, one of my earlier film projects. The project came about when we realized that we were 1 week from the due date for our final film and had very little to work with. I came up with the idea of taking what little footage we had and shooting fake interviews around them to create a “Spinal Tap”-esque...

Running with Data: Songbird's first music... →
For Music Hack Day San Francisco, I teamed up with Steven Lloyd to integrate a music visualizer into Songbird. As far as I know, this is the first music visualization for Songbird. Since we didn’t have access to the raw audio through Songbird, we used The Echo Nest’s analysis data…
A very cool visualizer for Songbird.
