Chief Chinchilla and J-Zone - Can I Get A Sip



Chief Chinchilla can't lockdown some strange wool;





























"Unless you have no standards or you're famous, you've been there. Stop lying. The cylinders just ain't clickin ladies & gentlemen. That best of Sade CD (or nowadays your "midnight passion" playlist on the ipod) ain't been used in forever. Your hormones have you running through every number in your cel and emailing every loose strand you ever messed with (or never got a chance to mess with). Some people even go as far as to call up that ex fit for a Jerry Springer episode. Nightclubs are dead. So you join eharmony and after spending 3 hours fillin out a profile, you're hit with a $20 per month fee to hook up with some hog named Ethel or some clown with 2 of his teeth left (and both are molars). It happens to the best of us, join the club. How do you shake a dry spell? Everybody has their own method, but check the September Gator$-n-Fur$ (Dry Spell) and find out how Chief Chinchilla and I deal with it! Enjoy the show (url below)"

Oct 2008, live from the cluuuuuub

This week we did our monthly broadcast from Jupiter Room, 3874 St.Laurent, it was a hot one.

After realizing that the Velvet Trench Vibes' CD was practically cracked in half, they had to go off some instrumentals provided by Budda Blaze.
D-Shade followed up, with Leesa Mackey backing him up.

Shout out to everybody who came out, including Psynlangwage, Loe Pesci, Royal Peasants, Northern Lights, Eternia, DJ Devious, KC LMNOP and thanks to Maysr & Penzo Gritty Stem for calling in from Cuba.



Talking to people on the street, I was trying to hold the door open to make sure the wireless mics (thanks Moog) were coming out right, so I didn't get a chance to get a shot with the crowd off to the right.

Summer's coming to a close

Concordia Student Union put on a free show, outside their main building on Mackay. It started with D-Shade and Narcicyst backed up by Budda Blaze and a girl who's name escapes me. After that was Velvet Trench Vibes and Talib Kweli. I had to go back to work after D-Shade played and didn't make it back in time for Talib. Here's some shots from the first part of the show:
