With summer showing a little bit of itself, I’ve come to the shocking conclusion that last summer was pretty boring. If I’d actually sit down and think of why, I wouldn’t be able to come up with a reasonable answer, but I know that I thought it was fairly boring; maybe it’s the fact that I’ve grown tired of everything that was once new to my eyes when I first moved in this great big city… or maybe it’s the fact that I’m growing up against all my better judgement, a late winter boredom, or the mix of everything, like I said, I don’t really know.

One or two weeks ago, I was at my friends’ house to get my drinks on before going out, and we decided to start a little group Chatroulette session and I have to say that having checked it by myself once or twice before that to see what the whole hype was about, doing it with a group of persons is ten times funnier if not even more. It was also the moment I had laugh the most in the past couple of months/year, it was just ridiculous, my stomach and head still hurts a little from laughing too hard, I won’t go into details and what not, but the girl that was fronting our cam for us was just all out ahah, and man, why is there so many desperated persons just waiting to show their dicks, that shit is not right, not right at all. Anyway, my point is, I don’t want this group Chatroulette thing to be the funniest shit I’ve done in the past recent months/year. It’s not like I never do funny stuff, I do plenty, we do plenty, it’s just that it seems to it became a whole routine thing, we go out, we do our thing, we get drunk, we sleep. It comes to a point where everything feels scripted. I’ve always been craving for new stuff, and it seems that we’re stuck at a point where we’re just asking ourselves: what else can we do? We got off alot of stuff without really noticing, but it seems that we didn’t get back on other things to compensate. I don’t know for my friends and what not, but it seems that I just stroll by…

And I’m bored of that, I was listening to my DJ friend stories this past weekend and I’ve realized that my repertoire of recent fucked-up stories was pretty short… I want unpredictable, I want randomness, I want some Chatroulette randomness incorporated back into my life, I want to go to France on an impulse and randomly go watch a local movie, I want to go watch people do their morning yoga on top of Mont-Royal with friends all while riding our bixi after getting drunk at four different places, I want to get kicked out of a bar only to climb it’s roof to get back at the owner and watch what people look like at 3am on from a rooftop, I want to meet random BC girls at le Bluedog only to watch my friend get hit by a bus while going back home, I want to crash a wedding party, party with the guests and climb a three stories fire escape only to drop my glasses and iPhone. I want all sorts of things and I know a couple of my good friends reads my blog, therefor calling them out… let’s make this summer a memorable one.

Here’s EA’s take of what Modern Warfare should really look like.

Alright, so B.o.B. take on Drake’s track Over, is definitely not the first, nor going to be the last, I mean everyone wants to jump on this, which couldn’t have been made easier as the instrumental was also released when the track came out, so expect alot more emcees releasing their vision of what Over should sound like. As for this version, the chorus sounds a little bit off… but the flow on the verse is definitely honest.

So this track marks the return of Banks to the game. Never been too fond of Lloyd, but he’s been doing his thing and this beat is sort of dope, plus there’s Juelz Santana in this. Both of them goes in and while doing their own thing in this classic white backdrop video which features a couple of cameos.

SNL funny guy, Andy Samberg, is at it again with his comedy band, The Lonely Island. Granted this is a little bit less funny than the previous singles Jizz In My Pants & I’m On A Boat. This new single off their debut EP Incredibad still manage to hold it’s own with the help of Julian Casablancas.

I stumbled upon some visuals for this Dizzee Rascal & Florence + The Machine mash-up over the weekend and at I thought at first that it was a fan-made mix as the video for it was claimed to be fan-made, but with a little bit more digging, I found out that it was an actual song that Florence Welsh and Dizzee Rascal performed at the 2010 BRIT Awards which in turn spawned a single of the live performance a day after.

To be honest, the 2010 BRIT Awards flew way below my radar this year, much to my lost, and seeing this makes me bite my fingers a little bit, and while this is a little late pass, I think it was too great to not share. You’ve Got The Dirtee Love reached #2 on the UK Singles Chart, which is actually higher than the original song who peaked at #7 so you might have heard it on the radio and what not, but I didn’t because… well who listens to radio nowadays? not me that’s for sure, but I guess I should a little… sometimes ahah.

Your weekly dose of How To Make It In America. You know, I really wished that it’d be an one hour tv show instead of being thirty minutes… seriously, it’s just too short.

Ok this looks terrible, but at the same time, looks somewhat appealing… plus, it features Iggy Pop & Alice Cooper, so if that’s the kind of thing that you want to see on the silver screen or anywhere for that matter, I’d get hyped (a little), but I know that it does not do anything in particular for me… oh well ahah.

ps. nice logo though. how they used the s and k to do fangs, pretty clever.

Here’s the brand new visual for Florence + The Machine latest single and opening track of their debut album, Dogs Days Are Over. Directed by Georgie Greville & Geremy Jasper keeping the video production value to a minimal, but really cashing in on the visual aspect of it and succeeding at creating a visually appealing – and in overall – amazing video.
