As the header states, we live fairly close to a body of water and surrounding wooded area that some may say is paradisaical. The name of this region is the Okanagan, the body of water Shuswap. We get quite a few long weekends here in Canada and upon arrival of everyone, throngs of people roll from far and wide to do the ritual of Houseboating on Shuswap lake. Schitz met people this past weekend that drove 9 hours just to scoop a houseboat to pilot on the water. There is a beach there that turns into party land. Nielson beach [...]
The fact that you're reading this (unless it's October and you only now came across this post) probably means you're not sitting on a beach, a lake, or a river. Like me. I'm sitting at a desk. A fan pointed at me, the thermometer tells me it's 35C outside. Here are a few tracks to gently transport you away, away, away from where you are to where you want to be. And if you're already there? [...]
P.M. Dawn is certainly one of the most overlooked and much maligned groups of the 90's, and definately one of the best and most original. Accused in hip-hop circles of "faking the funk", and refusing to be strapped down to some of the limitations of that genre, they took a mixture of hip-hop, trip-hop, trance techno, classic R&B and esoteric exploration and created a truly unique style.This
this could've turned real ugly. good thing they were... wait for it... saved by the bell! P.M. Dawn "A Watcher's Point Of View (Don't 'Cha Think) (Youth Extended MIx)" ( everything you love to hate on point)
Wow, it's been almost two months since the last episode of "It cam from the 90's." Can you believe it? So here, we've got that annoying Vengaboys song and Sponge's "Molly." Such an underrated band I saw on a few occasions at Metro in the mid 90's. Then you've got some PM Dawn, Ministry, and what is arguably the best song in the vast Oasis catalog. Ans there you have it. I promise the next one of these won't be so far off. Want more, just find "1990's" in the drop down category list on [...]
Well this is it...for reposts anyways. Don't worry, it takes more than a fucking DMCA for me to go away. However, a shitload of work and an unforgiving deadline will cut down on my productivity, as was the case this week. As for the DMCA notice, I still don't know what exactly was the offender, so until I do find out I'm withholding comment. You can bet that once I do get the facts I'll have something to fucking say about it though. For those of you who like my rants, stay tuned, this motherfucker is going to [...]
![This Week's Top 12: Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, And Justin Has The Blues [The Idolator Dozen]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1514653_lg.jpg)
In this week's top 12: A song that was thought to be lost to the demise of the VHS era, Justin Timberlake pouring out his heart, televised baseball signaling the possible thawing of the northeast, and Nick: The Twitter. 1. Finding the video for Juniper's "Making Gerard Smile" on YouTube after years of wanting to hear it just one more time. I know that the whole celestial-jukebox thing will eventually result in every [...]
90's movies presented some unique opportunities for a lot of popular artists. Prince dressed up as the Joker . Jon Bon Jovi going down in a Blaze of Glory . Nine Inch Nails teaming up with David Lynch and some Natural Born Killers . But keep your seats, I promise that there isn't anything from The Bodyguard in this list (sorry, Whitney Houston fans ). However, I think I've picked out some choice lesser-known gems to mix in with the chart-topping hits. To qualify for the list, the song had to debut [...]
The Canadian Thanksgiving Weekend is here! Two of Hearts - Sue Gatlin Disturbia (DJ Weekend's Party Alarm Remix) -Rihanna The Songs I Didn't Write - Creaky Boards Deceptacon (DFA Remix) - Le Tigre Set Adrift On Memory Bliss (Extended Version) - PM Dawn Baker's Dozen - STA Baker Street (Extended Mix) - [...]
All my Big Country puns are too dirty even for me. Big Country In A Big Country (Pure Mix) All Of Us I've been looking for this single for years and I finally got it yesterday. Much rejoicing. P.M. Dawn Set Adrift On Memory Bliss (Extended Version) A Watcher's Point Of View (Don't 'Cha Think) (Youth Extended Mix) I was really into "Set Adrift..." when it first came out. That was in [...]
Although inspired by the art rock of Roxy Music - a sound they would imitate in their earliest incarnation - Spandau Ballet found fame as one of the leading acts in the New Romantic movement that became popular in the UK in the early '80s. They group became a sensation in their homeland, but attracted little attention in the States until the release of their True album in the summer of 1983. With their sleek, sophisticated look and the crooning vocal style of lead singer Tony Hadley, True took aim at more romantically-inclined music [...]
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 [...]
So I'm still working my way through the epic CD-ripping effort that began when I bought this sweet new Macbook back in March. (I was down for about a month there while I sat around lazily not getting the optical drive fixed after it crapped out.) I haven't bothered to pay too close attention to the sheer numbers, but I've easily passed the 1,000 threshold, with the end just maybe kinda in sight,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =EMpmW68VnaE Maybe instead of wallowing in unchecked misery over "the girl with the fat diamond ring" (really, the fat diamond ring is the main thing that you remember about her?), you should just step to one of the mermaids swimming around the set of your music video. Granted, mermaid human/relations have always been a bumpy proposition (just ask Hans Christian Anderson), but I find it hard to believe that PM Dawn couldn't have have at least snagged some tail. So to speak. Stop whispering your vocals. [...]
I'm not big on the whole Valentine's Day lovefest that so many people enjoy. Don't get me wrong, I'm big on LOVE it's just that whether I'm coupled or single, the holiday itself always seems a bit too cliched to tell you the truth. It just makes no sense to me. Why spend just one day a year doing what we should all be
If I organise a big party in a disused building in midtown Paris. Dress Code would be : Drugs, alcohol and Smoking with sneakers. For women, spike heel & hot bikini. Bouncing booties, face to face with a cup of Zubrowka vodka, French kiss in the toilet with two new hot friends met some few minutes ago. Not even a sofa to have a seat. You'll die on the dancefloor. Only one dj to make you moove your body. Tittsworth. [...]
It is official, we at Versus are going to be making our 90's posts weekly every FRIDAY. Get up on the bookmark action to be sure that you don't miss out! Being that Vancouver where we're at has finally decided to go full blown summer style, I've given this post a slight summer theme. Here's a classic from The Fresh Prince before he went all Disney and started calling himself Will Smith (what kind of name is that anyways? I bet a computer made it up) Dj Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh [...]
New track from Paserock who rolls with the Spank Rock peeps and did the Lindsay Lohan's Revenge track. Pase Rock - So Fucking Disco yousendit New Yo Majesty remix by UMYO Yo Majesty - Kryptonite Pussy UMYO remix yousendit link Tittsworth on the remix action here. I think this one's been around for a while. Im a sucker for the original, I cry myself to sleep everynight to PM [...]
Normally, here you'd be treated to another literate, funny diatribe from Matt, but he decided to take a much-deserved/needed vacation to New Zealand, and before he left at the crack o' dawn today, he wasn't able to wrap his up. He did give me his tunes, though, and he had loads of fun with the assignment, too. We'd had chats where we shared thoughtful/insightful/interest ing observations about fat women and men in song, but I'm too fried to remember them properly. Instead, I'll walk you through his tunes, which, as usual, are classy all the way: [...]
I'm heading to lovely Toledo, Ohio today to spend Thanksgiving with my family, so this will be my last post for the week - I'll try to make it count. A quick note on reposting previous songs. I usually don't do it, however, if you email me instead of leaving a comment asking, you have much better chances of it happening. Edgar Froese Macula Transfer (Complete Record) Sometimes I buy weird shit on a whim only to find out that it's crazy-rare and hard to find. This [...]
