El 25 de octubre de 2004 el mundo despidió a un querido DJ, radiodifusor y periodista: John Peel . A siete años de su muerte, sus fans lo recuerdan en el periódico The Guardian además de varios eventos tributo que se llevarán a cabo en su conmemoración. Peel fue uno de los DJ de la BBC Radio 1 que más tiempo estuvo al aire, desde 1964 hasta su muerte en el 2004. Siempre será recordado [...]
Live music picks for WEDNESDAY JUNE 29 through TUESDAY JULY 5, 2011. WEDNESDAY JUNE 29 / KATY PERRY / AIR CANADA CENTRE / 40 BAY ST / $29-$50 / ALL AGES Grammy-nominated pop star Katy Perry may have already stamped her image all over Toronto with billboards that show off her signature chest-full of fireworks ... but maybe it's not appropriate to really get into that. The singer takes the stage at Air Canada Centre, ready to unleash her candy-coated pop songs from her enormo-LP [...]
Just in case people think I'm anti-holidays because of my latest mixtape , I want you to know that I'm not. I enjoy all the traditions I am just easily bothered by excessive christmas songs. But here is one reworked christmas song that I can never tire of (in its original format at least). It is not as violent as it sounds, it's just a remix, I promise. Dj John - The Christmas Massacre of Charlie Brown I recently watched [...]
I have made mention of my fairly extensive Christmas collection in the past, but I haven't done a lot of posting of them. The fact is I don't feel like I bring anything new to the table and truth be told I "borrowed" a few of them from my fellow bloggers. I spent roughly three or four years compiling the collection and now I can't even play them all each Christmas. No matter, I'm addicted to the genre. We all know there are only 40 or 50 standard Christmas carols, if [...]

Doesn't everyone have one of these? Well, I wanted to do one too, so there. This one is more loosely put together than usual but still meant to be listened to in order; and hopefully the last song doesn't insult anyone. The 90s were a time of ... uh ... looser speech? Or is it loserspeak? I forget which. At any rate, enjoy "The Warmer the Waves," either in little pieces or a rar file containing all the songs. 01 dj john - rockin down [...]

Beastie Boys got themselves a new album out. You should really consider purchasing it. There's no rapping on it, but the chilled out jams are nice background music. If I knew a doctor playing that in the waiting room, I'd go for lots of check-ups. Since they don't rap, I figured I'd post a couple tunes that utilize some classic Beastie Boys beats and turn them into new favorites. First up is "Wale Revere," by Wale. [See post to listen to audio] Wale - Wale Revere And, my [...]
Every once in a while, we reach into our vast record-collection vaults for a feature we've imaginatively titled The Vault. Today, we're handing over the keys to friend-of-Idolator Jon Solomon , whose 19th annual 24-hour Christmas show for Princeton's WPRB begins at 6 p.m. ET on Sunday. Nineteen years of 24-hour shows add up to a lot of holiday music, and he's sent us a few Christmas-themed curios: both sides of the New Order Christmas flexi , which was given away at the Hacienda's 1982 Christmas Eve party (it's stamped with Factory number 51b, for those [...]
This month is just flying by, isn't it? It seems like just yesterday that I had all my money in my bank account and my sanity intact. The holiday season seems to deplete those resources faster than my 6 year old nephew changes hobbies (making gift buying that much more of a nightmare. . . "Do you still like superheroes? Dinosaurs? Baseball?"). There's no question that Christmas is my favorite holiday, but there are still so many things that bother me. I'm not going to go into them here, because when it comes to [...]
