So much to talk about, so little time! I've gotta get to bed early, cause i'm literally littered in appointments tomorrow. Well....1 doesn't classify as "littered", i suppose lol. I also have to do a walk-in with either my family doctor - or, the clinic tomorrow. It's just, this past 2 weeks, i've been hit - and, i've been hit hard.
Ya know that old saying "Things happen in 3's"? Well....Get this!
First - about 2 weeks ago....there was some kinda weird ass flu bug going around this city. Personally, i think somebody went on a cruise, forgot to wipe...and, then got off the boat and welcomed everyone. And, i wasn't the only one in this house to get it. That weekend, dad came home from his "weekend trip" (lol....that's subtle enough, isn't it?) - and, he came home to Kelly and I sick...and, he picked something up too!
I guess the good thing here would be....that we were all sick at the same bloody time.
I'm Just now done with it - all that's left is a little bit of sinus crap...and, some ooey-gooey phlegm that's like....thicker than owl snot hahaha.
That's phase 1. The 2nd thing to happen to me.....Tooth rot!!! Always a joy to have! And, ya know....i used to swear by Sensodyne....not anymore! In fact, i think it actually makes cavities. It doesn't help that for almost 2 years, i drank every day. Yea, i don't make it publicly known all the time that in 2006 through to early 2008, i went down a deep, dark road. I won't go into all the boring details. Cause, that's not what this podcast is about!
But - yea, i have a dentist appointment tomorrow....and, instead of getting the needle in the gum....i'm gonna ask for anesthesia. Hopefully, with the meds i'm on - they can do it. Cause, i don't need to be swollen for 2 hours, trying to talk to another doctor.
That's part 2. Get ready for the 3rd thing....the Tri-Fecta if you will :D
Woke up yesterday - and, i had a zit...or another freakin' cyst under my right arm - underneath the armpit. Not only that - but, i also woke up with one on my neck. Not as big...but, still hurts, and is giving me a little bit of a headache. And...to sleep....don't even ask! This is getting ridiculous!
I either have the worst fucking luck.....or, God's getting ready to strike me down lol.
Let's get into the GOOD NEWS! cause, ironically, there is some. I just got back from another hard-drive failure. I lost track at how many times this is now. Mind ya, this was my doing this time...because i thought i could do the podcast in the comfort of Ubuntu. And, as much as i wanted to....the LTS just isn't quite all there yet. Problem after problem with repositories, certain software not working...the whole 9 yards.
So, when i came back into the Windows 7 world - i had a flash of genius. And, i pose this as a question to all of you.
How would you guys like to see a live, 24/7 Radio stream? As well as the podcast - but, included LIVE in the radio show, and archived into the feed?
I found a free stream host - and, they look really promising. If i get positive feedback, i will run with the idea, and test it out in the coming weeks with SAM3 and the ShoutCast streamer :D
On other news!
New music is coming in 3 weeks! From The Birthday Massacre with Pins and Needles. Also, The LoveCrave with Soul Saliva. The LoveCrave is awesome if ya love TBM or Lacuna Coil. They're an Italian female-fronted Gothic/Metal band - and, they have produced 2 albums with this new one. And, on the new CD, they cover Michael Jackson's "Thriller" ....omg! I have never heard it sound better than from the King of Pop himself - but, it's heavier and amazing!
Also, Elise Estrada has a new single out right now called "You're So Hollywood" which unfortunately, i don't have at this time. I haven't even heard the song...it makes me cry! :(
Not to leave the other Estrada out - Emmalyn released a song called "Get Down" Which i was able to get my hands on.
For those of you who don't know, Emmalyn is the younger sister of Elise. And, they both are really talented...and, they're gonna match each other lyrically, vocally, and talent wise! They're both extremely talented (Not to mention just mind numbingly Gorgeous!) And, if i have to predict....Emmalyn will be releasing her CD along with Elise's Sophomore release!
When i know more, you'll know more!
Also, before i go - Toxic TuneZ Will be back the 3rd week of September! It's been a hectic summer here for me - minus the concert scene. Just haven't had the time, or the money....and, if i do have the money, i'm either sick - or recovering from computer failure's!
I Soooo need to get my Mac Pro!!!
A Special Message directly from the band:
Today is the day! 2pm. Posting 3 song clips:
1 on our Myspace page, 1 on our Facebook page and one on our VampireFreaks page.
Every Wednesday after that, we will post a new song clip for you to check out ... a "thank you" for being fans. ...every Wednesday until about 6 songs or so are up in total. Please spread the word...everywhere you can!!
Well, here we are again – Canada Day!!! The day where booze and fireworks – not to mention BBQ’s and outdoor events are sure to be plenty! In Medicine Hat, however – we are lacking festivities. Not saying that the Canada day people and volunteers here suck….but, the Music festival we had – Sandfly Festival…..has been dampened. I think the “Highlight” for most people, will be The Stampeders.
So – I’ve decided to take matters into my own hands. I will be taking a day off from the Business plan – to host a new episode of the podcast – and, will also be doing another one on Saturday as well.
Tomorrow’s episode will be released sometime after 9pm or so MDT – and, will feature music from Canadian Artists and bands! How cool is that?!?!
This will give me the chance to bring in some of the other independent bands and artists that I haven’t had much of a chance to play – and, even some new one’s that I’ve brought in – or, Artists who have released new stuff!
Here’s what I have in my head for what’s gonna be on tap!
- Scatterheart
- Sarah McLachlan (her new CD, “Laws Of Illusion just dropped last week!)
- Manafest
- K-os
- Classified
- Stars (They’ve got a new CD out, “The Five Ghosts”)
- Ten Second Epic
- Swollen Members
- Framing Hanley (New CD "A Promise To Burn” – OUT NOW!)
- The Birthday Massacre
…….And Many, MANY more!
So, if your plans are lacking – or, you’re out there partying – let me be the DJ of your party, and tune into the podcast tomorrow!
Trust….it’s gonna be the BEST!

PRE-ORDER: Order now, and Metropolis Records will ship this item to you when it is released.
Release Date: February 9th!
The Birthday Massacre has come along way since their inception in 2000. The Toronto based outfit continues to garner new fans worldwide not only in the industrial and electronic scenes, but the rock community as well.
Their last album Walking With Strangers was a major hit for the band and resulted in countless touring opportunities, not only as openers (for bands such as Mindless Self Indulgence) but for their own headlining tours as well.
The intensity of their live shows was captured on film in late 2007 in Hamburg, Germany. This footage has been assembled to make The Birthday Massacre's first ever live DVD, Show And Tell. Featuring 15 of their fan favorite tracks as well as their show intro "Before Dark," the DVD provides an excellent platform for fans to reminisce about their live experiences, and for new fans to anticipate the next opportunity they have to see this exceptional band.
A CD version of Show And Tell was released in early 2009, and fans can expect a brand new studio album for spring 2010.
You Can pre-order the DVD by Clicking Here
The Birthday Massacre are back at it! To further promote their upcoming live CD Release, "Show And Tell", they are doing a worldwide tour! The tour starts on April 21...and, begins in Buffalo, NY! This is the poster for the schedule.
You can click on the poster to go to the tour info on their website! From there, you can find your venue of choice, and it'll take ya to the place where ya can buy tickets. Keep in mind, that it is cheaper to buy the tickets online in advance than it would be to buy tickets at the door (This should be...common sense)
There are still some major announcements coming about the Toronto show....as well as many of the others! And, don't forget that it is cheaper to buy the tickets online, in advance!
Don't forget - Show & Tell will be released in 2 weeks, on May 5, 2009. You can pre-order the CD Here if you live in North America, and Here if you live in Europe.
I will have the CD as soon as it's released. So, expect a huge show 2 friday's from now!
It's been a few days since my last post...can't believe that one! But, i got some news today about The Birthday Massacre's NEW CD! A Live one to boot! I got the first *Single* of sorts today - Falling Down. I am extremely blown away by the level of quality it is. I was expecting a sort of bootleg copy of a live show that some bands put out that sound...horrible. Not this one. It kinda reminds me of The Eagles and their professionalism when they put out live stuff.
The CD itself drops in May - May 5, 2009 to be exact. It's a combo CD/DVD package...and, was recorded live in Hamburg, Germany in 2007.
This is the set list for the show. It might not be in order on the CD, but, will most likely be done in this order on the DVD.
- Video Kid
- Lovers End
- Goodnight
- Falling down
- Violet
- Red Stars
- Looking Glass
- Remember Me
- Unfamiliar
- Walking with Strangers
- Weekend
- Horror Show
- Kill The Lights
- Blue
- Happy Birthday
