no, it's the one with k.frimpong and his cubano fiestas.. i really want this track on vinyl!
-
i'm gonna be there too and would love to know where to find records. also, china (only as far north as shanghai though) and north vietnam..
-
no, it's not THAt bad.. but compared to a lot of other places i've been to in the world, torontonians can still learn quite a bit about being friendly (and this from someone who grew up in TO and love this city..)
-
haha.. the funny thing is i told a friend about this subway meeting and he said that apparently, mulatu astatke was looking at all the pretty girls while in town for the redbull academy thang.

-
yeah, that's the guy. that record was reissued, but i imagine all his original stuff is super rare. people in toronto don't often appreciate random people talking to them either. everyone here is a big snob or thinks everyone is out to get them. i…
-
yeah, actually i sensed i was getting hit on (even though i looked really horrible.. was coming back from a taiko practice so had on my sweats, unkempt hair in ponytail, etc.) so i don't know for sure if i believe him, but it's nicer to believe him …

dont know who that is but toronto subway is my favorite part of the work day i normally hate riding the subway (used to the convenience of my bike, but i had a flat tire today, hence the subway) but i like the random people you end up having conver…
-
well, i was excited cuz mulatu astatke is one of my favourites. i met the nephew guy cuz i almost tripped him on the subway.. which led to us having a conversation.. which led to me randomly finding out he's m.a.'s nephew.

banjara indian cuisine.. housed in a former donut shop, on bloor just west of christie (next to christie pits). so good!
-
gonna post a brand new one cuz the date in the subject line is wrong. how do you delete old posts??

OOPS! now we are doing it on Saturday, Sept 1st this month only. Back to Thursdays (I think) for the rest of the time..
-
this is tonight (i put saturday in error.. oops)!
-
saturday!

saturday, saturday, saturday, it's saturday...
-
just bumping this..
-
with thai food, i tend to pretend i don't notice the fish sauce in everything (it doesn't seem to taste the same without it).. i think they use it everywhere, i guess unless you ask them specifically not to. curries tend to have shrimp paste too, bu…
-
welcome to the city! here are some of my picks (though i'm vegetarian so i dunno what the meat stuff is like) pho joint? i like cafe 668 (dundas, just east of bathurst) for veg viet food, but i hear pho hung (on spadina) is good. i like their spr…
-
whoa, i'm there!
-
yeah, around the time i got the chelsea room gig, the former magpie owner called me to offer me one there as well cuz i had dropped off a demo.. but then i found out they don't have their own equipment. :/ i heard they switched owners so i called re…
-
so far, nope! we get paid shit even though we have packed the place (on the busiest night we had when the place was rammed, we got $70 to split between 3 people.. we suspect he was ripping us off and not giving us 10% of the bar), they are cheap wit…
-
yeah, that's the one. this will probably be our last time there though as we want to move elsewhere soon.
-
if this is of interest to anyone, i'll also be drumming earlier that evening: http://www.womensbookstore.com/mangotribe.html

hmmmm.....this seems super lametown to me. Why not just multi track your shit if you skills aren't that tight (that's what I do! ) It's pretty much understood that if you do a pre-recorded mix it's probably multi-traked unless you explicitly brag ab…
-
i don't suppose you remember which one?
-
yeah, it's an enjoyable mix. oh yeah, when i asked him over MSN to lend me some of the records (i named ones he very likely doesn't have like the bhangra ones and the bangles), he said he made the mix using serrato scratch, which i wasn't aware h…
-
ah, okay.. damn.. i thought my sleuth work got results already.
-
seriously? do you have a link to it? what's his name? I KNEW IT! i am gonna confront my friend about this. so lame.
-
the more i listen, the more convinced i am that this is not his mix. so sketchy to steal someone else's mix! i'm going to ask him if i could borrow some of these records and see what he comes up with..
