I dunno who Mieke is…she’s new. Mieke her debut EP was released on August 28. Ethereal in that Kate Bush, Bjork sorta way I hope we can get her into Girth for a 2016 In Session. I like new people.

The return of a fresh NBA season brings with it the fist pumping joy of…commercials.
Surprisingly it’s not all about the Superbowl; throughout the NBA season viewers will chuckle, marvel and even gasp at some of the marvelous ads. The commercials are as much a fun part of the entertainment package as the actual games and household name players.

In May 2013 a visit to your neighbourhood cinema offered:
Oh and…Now You See Me armed with one of the strongest marketing draws for a potential blockbuster: low expectations.

It is utterly criminal how this emotionally dense song isn’t featured in a movie. (Zella’s Sacrifice was used in Insurgent…file that under “when good songs are used in bad movies”).

Turn this up…irresistible Swedish pop!
Hard to believe she sings: “I know you feel that pop doesn’t really have a clue.” (You don’t think she means pop as in pops…dad, father etc. do you?). This pop tune is clued into my mood: wild chair dancing.

I can’t remember how Portland’s XOXO Festival came into my life…it’s only a couple of years old. Maybe twitter? I wanna go one year…SXSW in many ways has jumped the shark. And we don’t have anything like this in Toronto (maybe start one? Complain or Create can’t do both…). The conference feels like Portland, s’what I’d expect that city to be like: bit like Seattle with more Nike.

Want to feel old? TLC’s Scrubs came out in early 1999. The song is just over 15 years old. Ouch. But it’s message is true then as it is now:
“A scrub is a guy that thinks he’s fly
And is also known as a buster
Always talkin’ about what he wants
And just sits on his broke ass
A scrub is a guy that cant get no love from me…”

Remember Jewel? I recently caught her Howard Stern interview…I was shocked…as in oh yeah Jewel. Jewel was so big back in the day and then she seemed to disappear; I’d totally forgotten about her. She’s back with a new album; but it’s this standout track that drew my attention.
