this angers me.

One of the best things about having a widely-read website is being able to share our thoughts about important issues. From gay rights to health care reform, Perez has spoken out repeatedly about social concerns that matter to him. That’s why we jumped at the chance to star in PETA’s ‘Save the Seals’ Celebrity Ad Campaign

Every year, sealers bash in the skulls of baby seals and hook them in their eyes, cheeks or mouths, then drag them across the ice – sometimes while they are still conscious!

This is disgusting and wrong!!!!

The European Union and the U.S. have banned seal fur. And world leaders as diverse as Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and Obama have condemned the massacre of baby seals.

Get with it, Canada!

We are so outraged by this unnecessary cruelty! We’ve taken part in the ‘Save the Seals’ Celebrity Ad Campaign alongside Kelly Osbourne, Jennie Garth, and more. And we encourage our Perezcious readers to CLICK HERE to find out what YOU can do to help!

Please join us in trying to STOP the seal slaughter!

Perez

Not taking a stance on the seal hunt by any means because I sympathize with both sides, but jesus, what a terrible mascot for PETA.

PETA has got a plethora of winners signed up for facetime on this campaign. Perez Hilton. Holly Madison. Brody Jenner. Steve-O. Jayde Nichol. Kelly Osborne. Did any of them actually look into the seal hunt? Do any of them realize that the t-shirts they’re hocking have “whitecoat” baby seals featured on them? Do they realize that Canada outlawed the hunting of whitecoat baby seals in 1987?

It just bothers me that these numbskulls are misrepresenting their cause, and could probably care less. Anything to stay relevant.

I’ll elaborate further later.

Brooklyn, I go hard.

NYC bound this Friday! Can’t wait! Going to check out CMJ with Jokers of the Scene. They’ll be playing a show with the XX (YES!) at the Tribeca Grand. Last time I was in NYC I took a seniors bus tour down with my parents and younger brother like 5 years ago. Needless to say, the partying was minimal and the old folks on the bus didn’t let me listen to my ipod on full blast. Jerks. No ninnies this time though!

Next stop is Philly on Saturday for Making Time w/ Acid Girls & Dave P! I’ve never been to Philly, so I am really stoked.

and there you have it.

Ryan Stec + JOTS + IF THEN DO + CN Tower and CIUT @ Nuit Blanche

This will be neat. If you live in the Toronto area, you should probably check this out next weekend. Ryan Stec (the fella that does the imagery/light shows at Disorganised) will be taking over the CN Tower with his very own LED lightshow. I am considering making the trek to Toronto for this one.

On October 3rd we bring you a first for the city of Toronto. Broadcasting all night on CIUT Radio 89.5FM, we will have a brand new mix from Jokers of the Scene and six new tracks from if then do, all synced to light show on the worlds largest LED lighting installation. The CN Tower is going to make one mighty strobe light!

Bring your ghettoblasters, shower radios or what ever else will receive a radio signal and check out the show from anywhere in the city. Better yet come to the listening station at 1 University Ave.

We are going to light up the countries biggest art party in an LED extravaganza. Wait for the pulsing white beacon of CN Tower light. 120 beats per minute majesty!

Project concept by Véronique Couillard, Jason St-Laurent and Ryan Stec.

bow down and die.

What does Black Lips + King Khan & BBQ give you? Well, it gives you this:

The Almighty Defenders. Defending all that is almighty. I’ve been jamming on their debut, self-titled album for about a week or two now. Not bad. Not bad at all. The intro track “All my lovin” is intriguing. It makes me want to dance. And I only dance when I’m drunk. And I’m not drunk right now. It’s that catchy.  ”Bow Down & Die’s” lyrics seem like something I should have written. A similar chorus streams through my head almost every weekend when I’m intoxicated and annoyed with a boy. This is my new anthem. I’ll replace all the “he’s” with “she’s”. That’ll work. It’s like a medley of garagy-punky-blues and sing-a-longs. And lovesick angst.

“Cone Light” is another favourite of mine. Less static/noise. I really like this jam. I need someone to ask me what I would like on my cone more often. Hand-clappingly, foot-tappingly awesome.

Overall, I enjoy the album and there’s about 4 songs that really stand out for me. That isn’t a whole lot, but they’re songs that I will probably overkill on repeat in the next couple weeks. I will listen to them incessently for 4-6 weeks, get sick of them, and then rediscover them in a month. As I mentioned earlier, it’s kind of like a garage-rock-sing-a-long, which is awesome (some of my favourite moments in life have been in garages singing along to garage rock tunes!) So I will put this in the awesome pile. I mean, how could you not? It’s King Khan & Black Lips! DEFENDING ALL THAT IS ALMIGHTY!

Man on the Moon: End of the Day

Next week sees the release of Kid Cudi’s album Man on the Moon: End of the Day. Took a listen to it, and this would have made some serious contributions to my summer playlist had it been out earlier in the year. But then again, Ottawa never really got to experience summer, so it’ll contribute to the next best thing, my indian summer playlist.

Not only is it a pretty solid listen from beginning to end, it also features some colossal artists including Kanye, Lady Gaga, Common, Ratatat, and MGMT. Man on the Moon: End of the Day is a pretty dynamic piece, ranges from hip hop to indie influence. Not to mention I don’t even know how to describe the last song “Up, Up & Away” or what genre it would fall under. Kinda poppy I guess, but hot damn, it’s catchy.

Two songs that have been on permanent rotation in my itunes for a while have been “Day N Nite” (specifically the JOTS remix) and “Make Her Say”. I’ll be able to add “Cudi Zone” and “Enter Galactic” to the playlist of songs that I will play way too often come it’s release on 15/09/09.

I guess Kid Cudi is up for Best New Artist at the VMAs this weekend. I had no idea he was even that mainstream. Geez, I guess I need to pay more attention. Or get cable.

This photo is chilling. It is an amazing tribute, but it sends chills up my spine.

I had the opportunity to meet him and chat with him a couple times and he’d been nothing but charming and completely down to earth. That seems to be the sentiment across the board when it comes to Adam Goldstein. I’ve read many tributes to the one DJ AM and my heart kind of aches for those who were truly close to him. Eli Escobar’s tribute really gives you an idea of what Adam was like and all his accomplishments over the years. Give it a read.

Other good reads and testimonies about Adam Goldstein can be found here and here and here. A-Trak’s is pretty heartwarming.
