for many years in victoria, one could walk down to a place in victoria where it was possible to peruse the latest rave flyers, look at local DJ’s mix CD’s framed proudly on the wall, look through a selection of local underground branded clothes, or talk to a friendly DJ or store worker. it was home to the occassional brilliant import record, which you could listen to or even mix on the turntables that were set up. the store itself usually opened whenever the employee of the day woke up and figured out whos couch they had crashed on. that store was open for one last day on saturday. the owner and perpetuator had a great time with the store during its 6 year run, but knows that it is time to move on. in this case he will be working in the construction industry, making a lot more money. his name: scotty. the store’s name: stylus.

i think alessa rejected my testimonial for her on friendster. friendster is dumb anyways, but kind of neat at the same time. i see friendster still getting quite a bit more traffic than orkut, which is also stupid, but cool and neat as well.
well, bye!

here is a picture (from last night) of nigel tasko, melixxxa, peter beatty and damien norris. this is, more or less, noble house and the alien mental association. they were responsible for a whole slew of great underground massives on the west coast, having brought in such DJ’s as Sasha, John Digweed, Dave Seaman, Paul Van Dyk, Paul Oakenfold, Jerry Bonham, etc etc. Huge.
there may be more, finally, in the works.

It was a bit of a late night last night. I started by going to Steve’s (broken wrist) to watch the Flames burn the Sharks. Then I went down to Hush to meet up with Leah and talk to Brent but talking to Brent didn’t happen. I was due at QV’s by the time Brent arrived so I left for QV’s to meet james pezguy where we then plotted away for an hour and a half or so. It was great to catch up with him. he definitely took the initiative in us hanging out in a flatteringly honest and inventive kind of way:

I don’t like to go out on week nights any more as I like to start winding down by 10:30ish at the latest these days. Ocassionally I’ll go out later than that, and last night was one of those nights. It was Braeden’s birthday party down at Hush and so I hung out and enjoyed the company of some friends that I only see when I go out. Which .. is unfortunate.
tonight i will make music and by tomorrow i will have slept the good sleep.

so here you go, something different. everyone posts pictures of themselves when they’re happy and feeling great. here is one of me and matt when we’re feeling spent from .. i can’t remember what. this is a picture from december.
i recently joined an online community as a newbie. i have not been a newbie for anything in a long time. pretty cool! it’s a trinidad and tobago message board — a pretty active one too. within a day of making an introduction post i received 10 replies. not bad at all!
i have been making some sick beats lately. it’s all about the huge snares now. panning, slight reverb, compressed. lovely.

the radio show was a sketchfest last night, even though it was fun, mostly on-time etc. i think i played a total of 7 records, which when you consider the amount of time i put into putting together records and music, it’s pathetic. i played charles paul’s new “chompers mercy kill” remix of magnetic last night, which is a really awesome tech-trance bit (not really tech-trance but it’s the closest thing i can think of) and it mixed quite smoothly. think nathan fake-ish.
i did more work on dreamcache last night. i finally removed the ducking tamborine. wtf was i thinking in the first place? it works well (actually) on magnetic but i never intended to keep it in the track.. it was more of a space-filler that i used until i figured out what i really wanted. this is more like it.
so i burned it to CD last night but unfortunately i burned a data CD of the audio track. i didn’t end up playing it (obviously). next show..
this weekend means more work on the pacific front logo concepts and meeting up with justin and charles to jam on our idea.

you can participate even if you dont have a blog. just leave some sort of memory of me in the comments section.
idea borrowed from the geekgirl.

but now i am back..
what did you expect?

fading now
holding out
the innocent way
lucks run out
left this hole inside of me
crying out
screaming down
cause it echos within
the cat is out
no more secrets left to keep
the feeling is gone
we’ve swallowed the sun
one by one
the moment has come
the feeling is gone
we’ve swallowed the sun
and waved good-bye to us again
staring down
tears run down
and land at your feet
broken clouds
a canvas torn for all to see
