I've spent most of my day so far in a classroom or a bar, and without a way to contact The Buddha who should rightfully be posting today. So... today will be our first.... uhm.... Tropical Thursday! Its a balmy 12 degrees celcius outside today. The wind has closed everything up to and including Tim Horton's in some towns, and it seems we've gone from winter to summer in a matter or a couple days. Today can be described in two words, shorts and shots, so we've got us a party article today!
Our first band today is a three piece group from Brunswick, Australia. The Butcher Blades/ (yes that slash needs to be there). They have a very interesting intro story on their facebook page that really I couldn't even say that I made up. "Twins Grammaticalapple and Goldendelicious met in late December 1983 in the womb, and 26 years later met the Beethtovianic LeBruce. With the live percussive limbs of Gray, they operate heavy machinery by day and spend their nights building beaches out of noise". Well thats the story and thats what they do, so if you're ever down under check them out and if not here's a couple songs to make your day a little sunnier and alot more random.
Our second artist today is a little more popular, and well not really tropical. A-Trak is a montreal born New York based DJ who was DMC world champ at fifteen. Since then he's been touring the world, making labels, releasing tracks and even spinning discs for Kanye West and soon Jay-Z. So lets have a little Canadian pride here. His newest free album Dirty South Dance 2 has kept me bouncing all day and almost got me kicked out of my exam, that means you should head on over to bandcamp and get it for free.... yeah... free.
* Almost four hundred and fifty views as of today, lets hit five hundred by tomorrow when we will be Featuring local artist Levar Allens. Lets get the hype goin, spread this page like herpes and keep on bouncin!
