What….?
Imagine what their kids would look like… !
Picture Billy’s big white head except with a vagina for a mouth and two silicone implants attached to the top of the head like bizarre, child feeding bunny ears.
oink.

the interview show: circlesquare
CircleSquare is the music project fronted by former local boy Jeremy Shaw. Shaw has recently fled Vancouver’s insanely high cost of living for the artist-affordable haven of Berlin, like many other Canadian performers such as the mighty Peaches!
I did a piece for CBC Radio 3 (featuring Jeremy Shaw and Peaches) on Canadians who move. Listen to that here.
Shaw is also an accomplished visual/conceptual artist. Perhaps his most remembered piece is Jeremy Shaw: DMT, where he videotaped people on DMT and their ramblings. Great stuff.
My favourite CircleSquare track is “Fight Sounds Pt 1″ from his last EP. The song didn’t really get a push since his label, Output, went under before the EP even came out. Now CircleSquare are on Ghostly, the same label as Matthew Dear, and they have a new record, Songs About Dancing and Drugs, you can preview the new record here.
I recorded this interview twice. The first time, I got Jeremy to talk in depth about how he sees the link between drugs and music. That interview sadly was lost. Luckily, I got him to talk a little bit about it again.

It is so great to see a local guy get remixed by a world-class talent like Juan. I posted the radio edit here, but the full remix is the real shit.

And here is a special hour-long mix Jeremy has made for you. (Warning: this mix is slow to start, so give it time for the sound to come up.)

Cory Arcangel is a computer programmer who has been embraced by the art world and we’re all happier for it. His claim to fame was doctoring a Nintendo “Super Mario Bros.” game cartridge and erasing everything but the clouds. He has since gone on to create large scale prints of Photoshop CS2 colour gradients and a note-by-note reconstruction of Bach’s Goldberg Variation No. 1 using YouTube videos of random people performing it. Yep, each note is represented by a split-second clip of video. His website is a lot of fun to browse thru too.

The original version of this is my jam right now. Don’t you love it when you don’t know the words to a song but you sing it all day anyways?? GOSH
The XX – Teardrops (Cover Womack and Womack)
This song would be more appropriate on Valentines day, but just as my excuse went to my girlfriend for not having a gift… Everyday is Valentines day!!!! this is a joke. I would never do that.
Love not hate. Love love love lovelove.
Orange Juice – L.O.V.E. (Love)
Don’t beat people up.

This song makes me think of love making. Did I say that out loud? I meant, suuuuuuuuuushi.
