Basketball
Barcelona / Vancouver superheros Basketball are one of the best Vancouver bands ever (in the history of time). They are playing December 2nd at the Biltmore with the returning to town worldwide champs, Japandroids who also share this title. U should prolly go and buy your tickets now because if you don’t you will miss it and be real sawwy. WAMP WAMP WAMP
Take a gander at this new remix they did for Meroc Records artist Comenechi.
Comenechi – On n On / Close Enough to Kiss (Basketball Remix)
the interview show: e-603
Gregg Gillis aka Girl Talk is the king of the new mash up. He sells out shows. He has tons of fans. His shows are a mix of frenzied sweat as his fans rush the stage to become part of the show.
Is there room for another in music?
This beer guzzling ginger is NOT Girl Talk. Check out upstart E-603!
Girl Talk v2.0 or the hipster Napoleon Dynamite? You decide.

Monday Drenched
It’s dreary and grey lately in Winnie’s part of the world. Combine that with Monday and… well… meh.
Best thing to do is grab a hot drink and hunker down with the right bunch of tunes.
Here’s a classic rainy Monday song:
Bob James – You’re As Right As Rain
It’s the perfect backdrop to get you through today. And if you listen carefully, you should be able to pick out that it was sampled for this:
