SAN FRAN MISO

Before I can even upload any Toronto shots, I'm off for a trip to our Northern neighbors Ze Bay. Catch up with me if you'll be there. Hella?!

TO THE 416

It's been 5 long days away from the states. Toronto hasn't had a snow storm like this for about 5 years. Most of my time here is spent eating, walking, blazing or sleeping. So here's a few things I did before I left that I wish I was doing this week. CA.

Heartschallenger ice cream @ La Cita/Thursday

DJ Roial1's birthday bananas/Val

Little sisters Xmas program
Company outing @ the Griffith Observatory
Little Toyko Pinkberry w/ Leslie
Haha, I'm glad to be here though on vacation.

I'm on for another Winter Trip this Saturday for 9 days. I'll be traveling to Toronto, Canada. The scenery is different coast to coast, so I'll be to my knees in snow.

A COUPLE OF EVENTS

Friday

Saturday

IN-STORE

This Saturday, December 8th at 6pm. @ Fat Beats Los Angeles

25 YEARS AND COUNTING

Some things never die. "Thriller" has 25 years under its belt and people are still dancing it. I wonder if Michael knew it'd turn out like this.

YOUR HOUSE

San Francisco's own, Kaskade plans to truly do it big this New Years Eve. His tour includes Los Angeles (10PM til Midnight, NYE), then San Francisco (2:30-4:30AM), lastly Vegas (7:00-10:00AM). House music being remarkable.

P.S. My Step-dad gets ready to Kaskade, maybe I'll get him tickets pssh.

PHOTOS FROM AROUND THE WORLD

Wish I took these pictures myself, but I don't have the privilege of being a world-class traveler YET.

.

.

All around the world, shit hits the fan. The Antarctic, icebergs catching wreck with an explorer/cruise ship.

In France, two motorcyclists crash into a police officer's car.
Bolivia protestors get gassed by the police. Testing phase for a commerical line from China to LA, imagine that?

Bankers and brokers duke it out for a childrens charity.TIME.COM reminds me that complaining about red lights and rain ain't shit. But it's not so bad, just stop complaining.

HOT OUT THE OVEN

Seriously, The ST camp got it going on. More free music/mixes. This one done by the Beat Junkie himself, Dj Rhettmatic. Bake & Bits. Plus, my jam is on here by Wildchild "Weededed".

ON THE COME UP

:: Our neighbors to the North are on the verge of equaling or bettering our U.S. Currency. Canada, how did you do it?

P.S. Maybe, it's that pointless war we're in. Maybe it's Bush.

STILL ON IT

Ghostface, with years in the game, still has some playing time left. Hopefully, he's one of those artists who show up to their own listening parties.

Some Mario's, Peruvian Food, would be fufilling before going out to this.

RECOGNIZE THE NOTIONS

Last Saturday night's suaree. Rockognized.

(Eyes are closed to acheive maximum chi)

ON THE EDGE, CONSERVATIVELY

Tell me why the Japanese are always one step ahead. This is their flier for their Daft Punk concerts. They're gonna need a fab light show to impress our overseas counterparts.

Saw it on urb.com
Partypartyparty on Saturday

DON'T FUCK

They are serious in the country of Tbilisi.

I guess in France, not so muchBack in business in Bolivia

THIS OR THAT

All ages with the Stones Throw troop tonight,

Or La Cita with a 4-man brigade?

Regardless, best believe there will be a lot of screaming going on.

Goose go wild

Well, what can I say. SATURDAY NIGHT/MORNING !!

I pray for my eyes to be open at the after party

Dead tired

Can't wait to get out of the office and relax.

A sculpture of a corpse by artist Jaime Di Stefano cools her heels. Di Stefano's "bodies" are made from latex and weigh up to 20 lbs.

I got an 8 year old brother

Technology age, no kidding. This is the 'Doctor Who Dalek Sec TALKING mask'. Shown here in London, this toy is suppose to be top dog this Christmas.

FAN TAS TIC

If you know LA, you know the Fantastik Four (J.Rocc, Mr. Choc, Truly Odd, & C-Minus). A while back they canceled the show, and fucked up. I remember listening Saturday nights with the homies and hearing that true, true shit (new Dilated, new Defari). Pretty phenomenal. Great news, they're back but on a new station. 89.9-KCRW.

Here, you can listen to J.rocc with the new details.

All ways

Peanut Butter Wolf reminds me a lot of P. Diddy, successful mogul and living right (PBW musically inclined though). Stones Throw has come a long way, and will still continue to give us that sound we yearn for. His career has evolved with so many artists. With them, his arsenal grows and grows. Much respect to the Stones Throw fam.

Free mixes? That's what we need.

Watch it

Count your blessings, and look out for this guy

Stone's throw away

Always pushin, Percee P's having an in-store at Fat Beats LA this Saturday, 4PM. What a way to start a Saturday. Worth the price!!

Free show at a college? You read right. De La Soul at Cal Poly, tomorrow night the 19th. Ooo oo oo oo, light a backwood to this.

Southern Hospitality

This is something worth looking at. On that link below has a list of narrated galleries by Hurricane Katrina survivors. These hard working people plan to rebuild and stay. New Orleans, stand up.
