Something for the weekend? I enjoyed Tenzo's new BLUE BATH (Blue 16 x Bubble Bath). Each parent is a cross of Grandiflora's PROJECT 4516 - the first with Blue Cookies & the second The Soap, which came through the loudest (could easily be mistaken for ZOAP). Ceckout how purple the buds are - so much that they almost look black; it's a striking colour with all those burnt orange pistils. The smoke burned very well and the flavour was delicious! โฎ๏ธ

Bon week-end! I'm looking forward to seeing one of my favourite EDM artists tomorrow - Berlin producer-performer NILS HOFFMANN (@nilshoffmannils), who will be at @HistoryToronto with IT'S MURPH/ Garrett Murphy (@itsmurphmusic) of Nashville/ LA.
I got to see Nils last year when he played at the Opera House not long before Christmas. I didn't post about it at the time but it was an amazing show. @CBCMusic happened to be there and recorded part of the concert, which they recently made available.
According to Spotify, I'm in Nils' top 1% of streamers! I think he's a genius. Classically trained and it shows, Nils released his first big song when he was ony 16. If you like EDM/ Progressive House, check him out!

Garrett Murphy has top billing but I'm just getting to know his music. His 2026 Burning Man set was pretty cool - if you like high energy house, check him out too! youtube.com/watch?v=rvurFaFyโฆ

For any EDM fans that haven't heard, German "High Tech Minimal" house producer @BB_BORISBREJCHA is retiring from performance next year, so if you ever wanted to see him, now's the time! He's playing @rebel_toronto on Sat Feb 6. This is a fun song called "Never Look Back" (2019).
If you're wondering, the Joker mask is his trademark, and like his music, his story is remarkable. Best wishes to him on the next chapter of his adventure. And as difficult as it sometimes can be, he's right: NEVER LOOK BACK! ๐โฎ

"Behold, the LAMB OF GOD"! This is excellent weed - big fat stinky resinous colas that gum up your grinder. It's also the first release in Ontario from HEADSTONE CANNAIBS (AB), who should be very proud! It's simple to say but not easy to deliver - these are stinky and stinky buds that burn well. Here's a bit about the growers from @StratCann: stratcann.com/profiles/headsโฆ

One of my favourite LUMINEERS songs came to mind today; "Democracy" is a song by Leonard Cohen (1992), which appeared as a bonus track on their album III (2019). I wish our American friends & family all the best. Progress is always uneven but only possible thanks to DEMOCRACY! ๐บ๐ธ

Anyone using cannabis inhalers should be warned. Some like the Remidose product contain MCT oil, which is used as a carrier to deliver the cannabis molecules, but MCT oil is NOT meant for inhalation, as our lungs can't clear it. Cannabis aerosols containing MCT oil are banned in places like Colorado. The product in the study used liposomes instead, which I read are a special type of lipid (they bind to cannabinoids) that's compatible with our lungs.
As an aside, IMO, @GovCanHealth should focus on these types of risks, not on how many logos appear on a pack of rollies, or if a jar is too brightly coloured.
Happy Thanksgiving / Joyeuse Action de grรขce! ๐จ๐ฆ Today is a good day to share an inspiring piece from the @NewsHour, featuring beautiful Syrian-Dutch-US dancer, Ahmad Joudeh, who offers a bit about his extraordinary life experience and the wisdom it's given him. โคโฎ

I chopped my cute little house plants today! Can't really call it a "harvest" but these plants were easy & fun to grow on my balcony. Next year I'll try photo period fems and will top them so I don't end up with stick plants again! The buds smell like candy (Gelato Biscotti). ๐

[1/3] I had an amazing time seeing THE GORILLAZ in Toronto on Sunday! They gave us and Montreal *incredible* shows with surprise performances from many of their collaborators, past & present. The first clip features Jamaican dancehall superstar POPCAAN in one of my favs, "Saturn Barz" (2017), followed by "Garage Palace" (2017) with UK rapper LITTLE SIMZ, and one of their most famous songs, "Dirty Harry" (2005) with US rapper BOOTIE BROWN (The Pharcyde).

[2/3] I'm posting a couple of extra clips from the GORILLAZ concert for the sake of posterity and for my own benefit when I look back later! Keep scrolling if this isn't your jam but if you're curious, I think the music is incredible. These clips are 2 of their most famous songs - "Feel Good" with POSDNUOS (Del la Soul) and "Clint Eastwood" with DEL THE FUNKY HOMOSAPIEN. The picture was taken at curtain call (checkout the lineup!), and I think that's Jamie Hewlett next to Damon (we don't see him often). The last clip is a fun one of what I call my "brushes with greatness".
My sincere thanks to the band and venue for a truly unforgettable show! ๐ I can't wait to see them again. โคโฎ

[3/3] In case it's of interest, The @gorillaz are touring their new album, "The Mountain", which in part features heavy themes of death and loss. I read that the record was produced not too long after lead singer Damon Albarn and band co-founder Jamie Hewlett both lost their Dads, which brought them to India where they were inspired to create the new album.
Jamie Hewlett told Rolling Stone magazine that "The Mountain is a metaphor for life. The bottom of the mountain is vast, with many green jungles and many paths, many opportunities, and the higher you climb, the more narrow it becomes. And if you make it to the top of the mountain, what is beyond that? And that is essentially reincarnationโ. Jamie also explained one of his intentions behind the record: "if we can make an album about death that makes people feel less afraid of the concept of it, wouldnโt that be an amazing gift?โ.
Like all their music, the new GORILLAZ album is all about collaborations with artists famous in their own right, this time many with an Indian background, including singer Asha Puthli (age 81!), classical flutist Ajay Prasanna, and sitar player Anoushka Shankar, but also involving many others from different backgrounds, like singer Omar Souleyman from Syria, American vocalist & poet Kara Jackson, and with vocals posthumously from Nigerian-born Tony Allen. Well known British songwriter-guitarist Johnny Marr (The Smiths) is also involved in a couple of the new songs.
The never-ending lineup of talent makes THE GORILLAZ the biggest "super band" in history! It's no wonder the music is incredible given all those involved (although Damon and Jamie are the glue). If you're a fan, here's a good Youtube link to a festival concert they played this past summer. โโฎ

This weekend's TINLICKER ๐ณ๐ฑ concerts were amazing! The first night was me & my partner at a cozy table upstairs, and the second was a party on the floor with friends! Thanks to the band and to @Drake and @LiveNation for creating @HistoryToronto and hosting so many fun memories!
This is "Rebirth" (2022), which has a close connection to Toronto where the video was filmed & produced. There are glimpses of the city and LAKE ONTARIO ๐จ๐ฆ, while the diner scene was filmed at Chew Chew's (only two doors down from my store!), and the closing scene at historic Union Station. It's a beautiful song and it offers some good advice: "keep falling in love"! โคโฎ

HAPPY FRIDAY and a big welcome to one of my favourite bands, @tinlicker_nl! Looking forward to seeing them tonight AND tomorrow night at @HistoryToronto . Give them a listen if you like EDM/ progressive house. This is a brilliant show they did at the Gashouder in Amsterdam, 2024.

Everyone remembers where they were when 9/11 happened. In Toronto, as in NYC, the sky was a perfect blue colour. Iโll never forget that day and those dark days that followed. @PBS' Judy Woodruff offers a thoughtful segment for todayโs 25โth anniversary. ๐บ๐ธ

I had an amazing time last night with a group of friends seeing MELANIE C (Sporty Spice) at the Phoenix! She's been a big deal in the queer community for decades, where her music & strong female persona are beloved. Mel's touring her new album, SWEAT, which has some great songs.
The first clip is one of those, "Drum Machine" (2026), and the other is of her big hit, "I Turn to You" (2000), remixed famously by Hex Hector and since immoratalized in every queer club around the world, where it's played all the time and will be for generations. Thanks MEL C and band - you rock! โค
