Mob Bounce: Vision Quest

Since joining forces in 2010, The Northwest Kid (Craig Frank Edes) and Heebz The Earthchild (Travis Hebert) have released a mixtape, dropped a full-length album, performed alongside the likes of A Tribe Called Red and Born Ruffians, and gained a devoted social media following in the thousands — all without ever stepping foot inside a professional recording studio. That all changed on July 22, 2016, when the boys from Mob Bounce made their studio debut. But it wasn’t just any studio. Owned by Canadian icon Bryan Adams, and connected to artists like AC/DC and Justin Bieber, The Warehouse Studio occupies three stories of Vancouver’s oldest brick building in the heart of Gastown.

With access to killer acoustics, cutting-edge equipment and the keen ear of esteemed producer/engineer Eric Mosher, Mob Bounce spent the day creating a mind-blowing recording of Vision Quest. In this premiere episode of DD Studio Sessions, you are taken behind the scenes of their epic session and share the exclusive first look at the finished product.

Audiomap / Melbourne

girls-508.jpeg

Here is the latest episode of Audiomap! This morning I watched season 5 / episode 2 of Girls. At the end of the episode, Hannah is comforting her sad dad while Roll Up Your Sleeves by Meg Mac plays in the background. It felt very up-lifted. And so, I was inspired to play tunes from Meg's hometown - Melbourne, Australia. Thanks for reading my story and also thanks for listening to CFUR 88.7FM.

New LIVE Blocktreat video!

Screen-Shot-2016-12-02-at-2.36.53-PM.png

Brandon Hoffman, also known as Blocktreat, has released a brand new video of a live outdoor performance! Here's what Brandon had to say about the video: "A big reason I got into instrumental music was to escape the negativity of the real world. Making and listening to instrumental music is so important for maintaining my sanity when shit starts going sideways. Lately with all this talk of western politics entering a 'post-truth' era, with Trump getting elected, then with Leonard dying, I feel like folks could use a little more space to just be comfortable with their thoughts (at least I do!). It's kind of a guilty satisfaction that my music feels more relevant the bleaker the news cycle gets."

This is Blocktreat's first live music video, shot on the Traditional Territory of the Secwempemc Nation (Williams Lake BC) in the fall of 2016. In the distance, plumes of steam bellow out of a power plant, which has recently received BC Ministry of Environment approval to burn millions of creosote-soaked railroad ties. This decision has caused a tear in the rural interior community, still struggling to overcome the 2014 breach of the Mount Polly Mine, which received national media coverage. Follow Your Stupid Heart is about keeping cool when the path seems impossibly murky.

Wikipedia Edits of the Day: EU's Seven Dwarves -Brexit, Irexit, Nexit, Grexit, and Frexit

According to Wikipedia:

  1. "Irexit is a common name for a hypothetical withdrawal of the Republic of Ireland from the European Union. See also: Brexit, Frexit, Nexit, and Grexit."
  2. "A pizza party is a social gathering at which pizza is served.... Typically, a pizza that is 10 to 14 inches wide will feed two people, assuming the party-goers are not voraciously hungry. Since pizzas can include a very wide variety of toppings, one particular type of pizza party allows the party-goers to create their own custom-made pizza using a selection of ingredients.... When a pizza party does not include any custom-made pizzas, it is common to include at least one plain cheese-only pizza."
  3. The Eight-Circuit Model of Consciousness recommends the following to activate each circuit: opiods (Oral Bio-Survival Circuit), alcohol (Emotional-Territorial Circuit), cocaine (Neurosemantic-Dexterity Circuit), MDMA (Socio-Sexual Circuit), cannabis (Neurosomatic Circuit), LSD, and peyote (Neuroelectric).
