I first heard Franklin Bruno when I picked up an album from his band Nothing Painted Blue (ØPB). I'm not sure what led me to the purchase; perhaps a good review in a fanzine or simply the visual appeal of the album cover, but it was a fortuitous purchase. A Baby, A Blanket, a Packet of Seeds started what has been a 20-year streak of dependably outstanding releases. My look back was precipitated by Bruno's own. He just released a collection of his solo odds and ends from 1992-98, dubbed [...]
Being a part of the Dubstep movement since the early days, kion comes correct with this mix, taking things back to basics, it oozes DUB and leaves the midrange vandals to their own devices. Tracklist djunya feat Stevie C - Indi JKenzo - Conqueror Little Island Crew - Joker Smoker Scaramanga + Ghozt - Bass Riddim Little Island Crew - DB Tribute Tes La Rock + Destro - Low Dom - Night Owl Headhunter + Djunya - El Presidente Dom - Shiver Digital - Dub Station WAR12A DJ SS - Black (G31 remix) SLT Mob + Silver Fox - Cherry [...]
...and, unlike certain other iPhone apps we've featured here, the brand-spankin' new Altrok Radio iPhone app has a lot going for it: It's free . It's also commercial-free. It's your first sneak preview of what can best be called "Altrok Radio 2.0" It's a 24-hour format , rather than a daily playlist. What can I say, some folks like to listen for more than eight hours. When you listen, here's what you'll hear... Our top [...]
Gino Vannelli op de koffie bij Syd Barrett. En zo zijn er meer verrassende combinaties in deze mix. Twilight Zoners (1978) was de eerste band van Gordon Twilight, aka Glenn Carmichael . De Zoners zetten na drie korte jaren een punt achter de samenwerking. Carmichael vormde zijn tweede band, The White Brothers, in 1981. The White Brothers speelden onder andere samen met A Certain Ratio en namen Nils Stevens (Siouxsie and the Banshees) aan als manager. Het mocht allemaal niet baten en de band viel in '83 uiteen. Carmichaels meest opmerkelijke werk, met de band Occult [...]

I had such a hard time reading this article on a salami recall due to black pepper, because, look at that picture? Jesus, what where those copy editors for DB Techno thinking? Really, I don't need to actually see a diarrhea comic to know what it is or how unpleasant it can be. Good god.
Dubstep took over 2009 yet we very rarely get sent any here at DB, but hurray! here's 2 remixes from Toronto duo Killabits to change all that. First is their remix of VonStroke's classic "Who's Afraid Of Detroit" and the other of Mobb Deep's "Drop A Gem On 'Em". Both well worth the downloads for any of you dubstep readers out there, even if your not their bloody goood!

First of all, no, these were not sent to me. I bought them with my own money. Last Monday my old Ifrogz Crew earphones broke (well, the left one did), which meant i had to go out and buy a new pair of earphones. The next day, armed with €18 (about $25 or £15), and after looking on some websites for in-ear earphones for my amount of money, i bought these. The T'nB Music Trend Stars (or Esstar, for short) cost me €17 and sounded very promissing on paper. Here are the specs: [...]
I'd love to be able to say I did this list in one shot, fired from the hip, and came out fearlessly and decisively with my rock solid Top 20 Albums list ready for prime time. The truth is, unfortunately filled with scribbles, crumpled paper balls, wishing I had 25 slots, and a few question marks that will inevitably be answered in a year or two from now when I look back on this list and laugh at myself. I must admit my 2008 list held up pretty well for me over time. Even my 2007 [...]
This is a new feature for Narratives that will allow me to post new (and newly-discovered) videos. Like the rest of this blog, the videos will likely be very Toronto-centric. Two ever-rising young Toronto bands released new videos for new songs last week. Here is Dinosaur Bones ' "Ice Hotel" and Forest City Lovers ' "If I Were A Tree." Both songs are off 7" projects. I love this song! You can preorder DB's new 7", recorded with Jon Drew (The Arkells, Fucked Up, Tokyo Police [...]

Thanks to Tim and Stuart for taking care of me and putting the awesome tour together. dirtybird... But for once I'm not going to talk about the gigs because I have a really big announcement to drop. As of January 1, dirtybird is 5 years old!! To celebrate us surviving in this highly competetive and crazy world of [...]

Tema grafico per quello che è il mio sito web personale che mi fa da blog e portfolio. Basato sul tema Autofocus di Allan Cole cui sono state fatte profonde modifiche per la gestione del caricamento delle immagini dal db di WordPress , è stato integrato di funzionalità jQuery per facilitare la navigazione. Anche se l'aspetto complessivo rimarrà lo stesso prevedo diversi piccoli cambiamenti ed integrazioni grafiche per quanto concerne le form e le pagine statiche.
The NFL playoffs are supposed to be an exposé of the best teams and players the league has to offer. Ideally this leads to classic games, complete with 4th quarter drives and heroic individual efforts. Sadly this week was more about delivering beatdowns, as the Bengals, Eagles and yes, my beloved Pats were exposed as playoff frauds. Below is the game-by-game rundown. Bengals Vs. Jets This was a sloppy game between two teams that aren't very good. The Bengals offense was hindered by crushing injuries/deaths in their wide receiver corps. [...]
