so much to tell.

FIRST OF ALL I want to say I will NEVER eat at the DRAKE HOTEL again.

SECOND: We found an apartment! and I can hardly wait to move into it!! It's on King West and I LOVE IT!

Vanessa and I have our big party coming up on the 29th! Featuring none other than JUICETAN.

Also, Camp So Chill got this awesome gig doing 3 parties in July for Calvin Klien's new fragrance, which is surprisingly nice. Everyone is welcome but we will have a "V.I.P." guestlist. I'll let you know more about it when i know more. So, at our June 29th party, free samples!!

Cam and I are selling a bunch of stuff. Ask me, if you care.

I'm bored right now. and scared about hearing from the people who interviewed me for my dream job. I can't go back to the service industry..but I will if that's what I need to do.

Thursday.

I'm feeling good. SO looking forward to moving. It will be a lot of stress, moneywise but WELL worth it. We have so many awesome apartments to look at and I am not worried about finding a place, not that I ever was.

WELCOME BACK AZUREE!

Aw I just noticed that all our aimals are asleep on either side of me on the couch. CUTE.

Yesterday I watched a wicked show on BET about famous hip hop battles. They spoke about how it shaped Hip Hop today. My favourite one was DEFINITELY MC Shan vs. KRS One. KRS said "Shan could have EASILY won the battle simply by ignoring me, but because he didn't I wouldn't be where I am today." The famous battle started because of some radio show thing ...blah blah KRS wrote South Bronx which absolutely KILLED. He said te first time it was played, the DJ was FORCED to play it 3 times in a row, because everytime he tried to play something else, the crowd chanted "South bronx south south bronx" over it. Sure, MC Shan's Kill That Noise was a 'cute' response to South Bronx, but BDP's The Bridge is Over is what killed MC Shan's battling career.

I love revisiting music that I totally forgot ruled :

Trevor Loveys, I don't know much about, but I know that I love his bouncy bass, space sounds, and occasional ripping synths and epic electronic music.

Trevor Loveys and Sinden - Organ Grinder

Voodoo Chili vs. Trevor Loveys-Look What You've Done

When I first heard Regina Spektor I was like OMG SO cute! She is the ex-girlfriend of Julian Casablancas of The Strokes, with a sweet, sometimes skratchy, lovely voice. She is a SUPER talented song writer, like her ex, and is probably the most endearing young woman EVER

Regina Spektor and the Strokes-Post Modern Girls

Regina Spektor-Hotel Song

I have ALWAYS loved Gnarls Barkley, everyone who doesn't OBVIOUSLY didn't listen to the full album. Cee-lo is an incredible, artist and musician. He,in my mind, is one of the greats. The soul and passion in his music is unlike anything I've heard. I tend to find myself a sucker for 'epic' music. This is one of my favourite songs off the Gnarls Barkley Album and the most epic. It's hard to choose a fave too because all the songs are SO different.

Gnarls Barkley-Storm Coming

whew. that was a long one.

Maybe....

what happened to music like this. It's so raw and emotional. it makes me crave REAL music about REAL thing.

Remember Jewel?

"You Were Meant For Me" was the first song that I ever sang in public. I was in Gr. 7 and my dad played guitar while I sang. It was in front of my ENTIRE school for a talent show. Listening to this whole album makes me so nostalgic. It makes me miss my dad a lot. I think I'll go visit my parents this weekend maybe. OH! speaking of this weekend. COme see Vanessa and I djing at Fisticuffs and help us cheer on KIKKI!

woooo.

Skratchin my Head...

over last night. oy. Well , again. apologies if you missed our set. Turns out we were apparently supposed to play for an empty room for 2 hours instead of just 1. I guess we misunderstood. Camp so Chill was apparently supposed to start at 9pm and we got there at 10pm and had to start immediately. We're a little sad that we didn't get to hand it off to Paul, but whaaatever. There were so many of our friends there, I ended up having a wicked time and danced the night away. Skratch blew me away once again. he's so fucking GOOD. man. Videos of Avery dancing onstage to follow.

Today I need to find a job.
I want a burger.
and a nap.
a;kfa;osifa.

whoa. first blog.

My life is preeeetty interestiiiing. you think you guys can handle it?

So I gave my two weeks at the drake last monday. which means I only have a week left there. I'M FREAKING OUT. I need to get a job so soon or I'm going to be so broke. I really don't know what I was thinking. I should have had a job lined up but I realized I just couldn't do it anymore. I probably sound like a huge baby and you're probably thinking "god it's just a cafe" and you're right it IS just a cafe but, i don't know, the politics there are pretty intense. Anyway, I'm sure I'll be fine, I'm pretty lucky with that sort of thing, but I'm still feeling the stress of needing a job.

In other news, Camp So Chill is opening for Skratch Bastid on Sunday and for The Cool Kids on thursday. BIG week.

Any of you that have been wondering about that painting I was supposed to be doing. You'll be happy(?) to know that I am throwing in the towel and with my dignity too! I spoke to one of the guys on the phone and understood what I was going through and reassured me that it was totally fine and to bring in what I have finished. He even said: "Stop feeling guilty, get a smile on your face, and get us off your conscience." As a gesture I'm going to take a pretty picture of the lake, or some sort of body of water, and frame it and bring it to them, just to show them what I can do and that I really am sorry. After getting off the phone with him, I nearly started crying. THAT's how relieved I was. Major major relief.

yay.
