thought of the day

speaking of sonic youth, christopher wool provided the artwork for 'rather ripped'. normally i think this kind of text based stuff might bum me out but there is something really hilarious and deadpan about his stuff.

hope for a new day.

edited this out of my last post to place more emphasis in this one.

GHOSTAPE

i knew ghostape only from the vocals in plastique de reve's "lost in the city" single that came out on death from abroad last year, but happily i was 'friend requested' a couple of days ago and have been listening to these rhythmic tracks via myspace repeatedly. ghostape info is scarce but it seems he is a swiss teenager of african background, and making songs solo that are appropriately naive and very knowing and now at the same time.

i'm super in love with this:

it's so primitive and raw in concept and execution, but i think that it displays all the shamanistic qualities that make people talk about ron hardy to this day. i feel corny for even saying that, but really ... look at the definition and it's exactly what i mean. the way the vocal and instrumental samples weave in and out over that beat make me feel like i'm hearing something calling from beyond. if i heard this in a dark sweaty room at 3 in morning i think i'd lose my mind!

blank city, a new documentary by celine danhier, 2009

nyc underground film movements, 1977-1987. punk, no wave and the cinema of transgression.

great stills (via tribeca film). maybe it'll come to toronto some time.

here is the official site, with thanks to dan at acute records for bringing this to our attention.

friday's girls night out was really fun (thanks for coming if you came out). forgot how much i enjoyed playing snooty, cruddy rock crap.

don't read, just listen: blank dogs "l machine" + dum dum girls "don't talk to me"

i am definitely a "singles" person (these days anyway), so while i can't vouch for the rest of the output of these acts, those 2 tracks grabbed my attention.

Tuesday May 5 2009

picked up some pieces from jeremy this past weekend, which i can't wait to wear. the thought of doing one of those narcissistic blog fashion posts where i style myself and get someone to take pictures of me staring pensively thru a chain link fence briefly entered my mind ... but i'll spare you and preserve my dignity :D

i got the top and the jacket seen below

i was reading an article recently where some stylist was talking about clothes that are "relevant and timeless all at once", which kind of nails it when it comes to stuff i look for if i'm gonna spend the cash on new clothes - new, but not trendy or momentary. noticeable, but not flash. thus far, exactly what everything i've gotten from jeremy is.

here is a list of places where you can buy jeremy laing's clothes.

musically, i need to pick up a copy of windsurf's new 12" feat. remixes by the beatbroker and (my favorite) studio. dreamy beautiful summer music ... gorge cover art too, love that scripty blobby font

out on prins thomas' internasjonal label, pic via word and sound, where you can also listen to clips and purchase online. or if you live in toronto like me, go to slinky music on queen st and ask paul to order you a copy.

Tuesday April 14 2009

aaahhhh fashion, you're just so predictable sometimes.

what did i say, toronto vintage scourers, about going to f/x and raiding their decades old liquidation stock, like 2 and a half years ago???

i went back a year later and those 90s betsey crushed velvet sweetheart neckline minidresses were still sitting there, for like $20, so obviously i grabbed one! still regret not getting those rose print shorts, although they probably would have been for sale, not for wear, as i find stretchy micro shorts kind of uhhh ... hard to pull off.

anyway ... i'm just talking about all this cuz oc and bj are launching an 'archive' line this fall. my inner grew-up-in-the-90s sassy-magazine-reading teenage self approves.

not overly knowledgeable re: kusama, except that i know she's the polka dot princess and perhaps not so mentally sound. it's interesting then (for someone who is obsessed with dots and infinity) that the way these are all put together makes so much sense. there's a sort of ... i dunno ... economy of design? that goes into these later mirrored works. i love this:

new jewels!

so i'm into casting trash. this time i cast plastic diamond rings in silver (to be made available in oxidized silver and gold plated silver as well). it's an idea that i've had kicking around in my head for years, but it was for some reason, exceedingly difficult to find the right cheap rings!! it's still hard!! these rings are a size 6, and i'm still on the hunt for smaller trash diamond rings. these will be available at delphic and via my website soon and will retail for, oh around $50 - $80 i guess. i like how a bunch of em look together!

Monday January 12 2009

here's something that will unknowingly turned me on to when i stopped by his myspace page one day last year - jessie evans "scientist of love (demo)":

i think jessie evans was once in the vanishing and also played on glass candy's "life after sundown" record a few years back. i'm not totally sure how to classify this and i think that's actually kind of a relieving antidote to some of the blander types of dance tracks that are coming out in pockets here and there. it's sorta ... slinky tropical percussive gothy cabaret stuff with electronics? haha, that description sounds terrible! whatever, a bunch of girls started dancing the last time i played this, so that's all you really need to know! i think in some instances the sound reminds me of siouxsie's other band, the creatures - particularly the first record (which i talked about back at daughters a couple years back).

anyway ... ms. evans says on her myspace that her new record 'is it fire' is finished and i'm curious to hear it. check out some sampler tracks ... the other song i enjoyed was "to the sun".

AND DON'T FORGET .... JD TWITCH @ THE DRAKE UNDERGROUND ON THURSDAY!!!!!

Monday January 5 2009

There's something I think I should clarify. In the Dec 25 issue of Eye Magazine I was quoted as saying that I quit blogging because it was becoming apparent that everyone was listening to and playing the same tracks, and that I didn't think I wanted to share stuff that I had found by my own methods any longer. I DID say that (and I am well aware that most of the stuff I find has digging/ a&r origins that don't start with me), but it's kind of only part of my rationale. It's not mere secret squirrel-isms that are keeping me from giving out mp3's like so much free candy. I'm pretty sure I went into it at some point in 2006 on my old blog, which is when I originally felt I should stop giving mp3's away. There are SO MANY mp3 music blogs these days giving out stuff for free, not to mention aggregators telling you what's hot, people sharing hard drives, peer to peer networks, message boards etc. I'm not opposed to those things. I use them. I play mp3s. I'm grateful to be able to listen to stuff on my ipod and play em out on cd and then make a decision to buy based on how permanent and essential I think they are. I think it's neat when a band like Glass Candy puts all their stuff up for download on their Myspace page. I also feel badly that music is starting to sound cheap and shitty cuz its hard to justify spending money on making it anymore, and that it is exceedingly difficult for indie labels to survive. I guess that when I stopped posting mp3s it was because I started asking myself why I was posting them in the first place. Was it because I wanted to share the things I was interested in with people, or was it turning into some narcissistic, self serving popularity contest that would get me blog pats on the back? Because the latter seemed like a bad reason to give away music. So I stopped posting mp3s, and started simply directing people to Myspace pages and installing music players into my site. My readership imploded, but I also stopped feeling like a shithead. I can admit to having a nebulous personal morality code when it comes to file sharing, but then again, I also to grew up in a time when people still djed with vinyl and got paid for making records. I guess the performance/ djing w/ Ableton/ Serato aspect is what brings home the bacon now and that many artists are ok with not making money from tracks, and are using them, rather, as promo tools to get gigs. I felt that there were better ways to get the word out about the things I was interested in than having an mp3 blog, namely promoting parties featuring the DJ's and producers I liked (mostly people who are still making 12 inches and djing with records) to people in the city I live in. There was something that just felt more concrete and direct about that than the practice of promoting artists via free mp3s. It's more work than posting tracks, but a. I know that the DJ/ producer is getting paid to do what they do, b. you help develop a community who is interested in music in your own city, not in some random ether (the internet is noise and static, and there are many promoters in this city bringing choice selections to your doorstep before Pitchfork or Chanel runway shows or blog aggregators will bring them to you, so seek them out, have some faith in the taste of those around you, and give them a shot), c. I think that it's totally beneficial and healthy to bring outside views into your city, not because they are better, but because they are different. There's nothing wrong with local dj's knowing exactly what will push a local crowd's buttons, but how interesting and fortunate it is when a variation on the theme steps forward and surprises you. And when you can pair them with those great local djs, well, that sounds like a fun place to be.

Alright then. That's off my chest. Now, Happy 2009!!

Post Vazoween Love Hangover coming thru ...

Will asked me if I wanted to start another, smaller, gayer, local-er disco party with him, and of course I said YES! The party is gonna be first Saturdays of the month at the Beaver and the first one is November 1st. Isn't the flyer cute? Love the look on her face. So happy and innocent with her disco sign.

And because we could all use a little more lovin ... check out the track 'High on Love' over at Eddie C's myspace page. Been obsessed with it for a minute. What up, Canadian mountain disco?

Monday October 27 2008

This is one of my all time favorite disco songs. I always thought the yearning/ sexy/ lush sound coupled with the back story of the singer, Chantal Curtis, being murdered by her boyfriend was pretty tragic. It's kinda weird but it always comes to mind, and I get a little sad whenever I listen to it even though it's so glorious.

A video of Curtis singing the song live popped up on the 'Tube recently. I can't say it's better than the recorded version, but I never thought I'd see a performance of it either. It isn't as perfect and her voice is rawer and scratchier (especially the feral little growl at around 1:40). It's pretty neat to see.

'Get Another Love'

Sunday October 19 2008

OK enough bad feelings. Fortunately there are people who are determined to show their best side, and sometimes, many other people take notice. I was in heaven this weekend when I finally got to see Andy Butler's Hercules & Love Affair play their live show. The band sounded AMAZING and I was so impressed and happy. My highlights were both Kim Ann sung tracks - Shadows and Athene. So awesome.

Tuesday October 14 2008

i rented the legend of leigh bowery last week and watched it 4 times in 3 days. i was pretty ignorant to what bowery did, and assumed he was just another club kid. not gonna get into biography cuz you should really just rent the doc ...

there were a couple of ideas in particular that i liked alot. juliana hatfield released a record in the 90's called "become what you are". i never heard this record, but the title stuck with me. many years later i came across werner herzog's idea of "ecstatic truth", point 5 being: "There are deeper strata of truth in cinema, and there is such a thing as poetic, ecstatic truth. It is mysterious and elusive, and can be reached only through fabrication and imagination and stylization." this idea perfectly articulated a feeling i had - apply it to film, music, performance, whatever. i was awed by bowery's crafting of his own world, and how thorough and extreme it was. so much of it would seem like a series of really bad ideas, but i was totally engaged with his hilarious and perverse outfits and performances, and his statement that he felt like he was creating "more air to breathe". the expansion of the boundaries of what your personal truth can be is, i think, one of the great functions of art. it's participatory and humble and generous if you want it to be.

Tuesday September 30 2008

I have a major love/ hate relationship with fashion. I love beautiful, interesting, well made things and new ideas, and I also like fun, silly stuff, and looking good, but I think most of fashion is totally useless and way too expensive. The over production of everything depresses me, it's so wasteful. I also have problems with how fashion treats women, especially in the way of models and the exploitation of insecurities to sell stuff.

I'm an ex-fashion student by the way. How funny to have a university degree in such a thing.

Fashion writing might just be the worst thing in the world, and I had all but dismissed it until I started reading Cathy Horyn's column in the New York Times this week. I know Horyn's been around a long, long time but I hadn't read her writing till now. It's amazing that someone whose writing style has been described as "acerbic" can actually make me want to re-examine fashion, and awaken some passion on the subject. Everything is so well thought out, unflinching and elegantly written, which amazes me - what with the speed collection reviews are delivered at and how vague they usually are. I love that she doesn't see fashion from under the fashion bubble that so many people in the industry see it from, but raises a challenge to make things refined, intelligent, well informed, forward thinking, positive, honest, inspired, interesting, pleasurable and relevant.

Here's her column. So far this season I've liked Raf Simons collection for Jil Sander and Proenza Schouler. I liked the pants and jackets at Balenciaga, and as always, I'm looking forward to seeing what Stefano Pilati does at YSL, and Alber Elbaz at Lanvin.

ANYWAY

I have a bunch of upcoming gigs too. I just updated the DJ Biz section so if you want to know the full sched, it's there. A couple of VERY exciting things - Will and I are playing at the Hercules & Love Affair live gig at the Opera House on Saturday October 18th - some of you may recall we brought Andy Butler to Wrongbar in December of 2007 to dj at my 30th birthday party, so this is a nice return of sorts. And on Wednesday October 8th I'm djing with Produzentin (who throws one of my favorite parties in Toronto, Hotnuts) and Owen Pallett (Final Fantasy) is performing live as Beardo - this all goes down at Mercer Union's Re-Opening Party.

See you soooon.

Friday September 19 2008

Found this on Youtube.

"John Waters hates disco"

There are piles of other neat home vid style takes of club kids in the style of Anton Perich (just a later generation). I wouldn't have guessed that Leigh Bowery and the like would have been dancing to Gwen McCrae and Donna Summer? I always assumed it would be straight up house music of that era.

I'm djing in the Drake Lounge tonight. I think someone from A Place to Bury Strangers will be splitting sets with me, so that should be interesting.

Next week, check out these parties!

Friday Sept 26th

Saturday Sept 27th

Anxiously awaiting Indexhibit's blog module. You guys need to trot that out, stat! :)

Friday September 12 2008

Happy to be back in Toronto though I had quite a lovely stay in NYC. Plusses: I spent virtually no money on fashion. Went to the No Ordinary Monkey party in the park on the water with Irene which produced fun times with good music, pink vodka lemonades, dancing with 2 massive Puerto Rican dudes named Willy and Henry, our own karaoke to "Everybody Everybody", a post party drunken oyster run, then meeting with Toronto friends back in the city at a late dinner. At which point Irene asked Perry Farrell to sit down with us. I also came home with a bunch of great records for cheap (Cloud One out of a dollar bin?!?) and ate lots and lots of yummy food in the types of tastefully renovated restaurants we don't have in Toronto. Minuses: I tend to get lonely in that city even when I'm surrounded by people. And I went to the wrong yakitori place.

Watch a crappy cellphone capture of Irene going buck to Black Box, but be careful - it's LOUD!

HAHA

Jeremy's show went great. He is getting tons of great reviews for this season and I think he is a standout designer in a place full of shows that ride on styling and classics. Go Jeremy!!

It was my 3rd season doing the music and it was pretty different this time. Darker, less dancey, unmixed. If you're curious, you can view the show and listen to the soundtrack here.

If anyone knows how I can turn this thing into an actual blog (with commenting and stuff) drop me a line: jaime@jaime-sin.com

Also, since people have been asking, the 7th Heaven silkscreen posters will be available for sale soon (as soon i figure out how to make a paypal thing in here), as will my jewelry. So check back!! And oh yes - DJ gigs will be updated regularly in the sidebar.

Thanks for stopping by! :)
