May 21, 2010 - Magnificent Mashes!

Hearty Loom-style shout outs today to DJ Lobsterdust, DJ BC, Fissunix, and Mad Mix Mustang for some mirthfully magnificent mash-ups! I mean really, commenting on the synchronicity of females with rather cushy posteriors arriving at their destination at the same time...really, that's all I've got for "Fat Bottomed Girls Come Together" (Queen vs. the Beatles). To comment further would be to cross the line...and we never, ever do that on the Impending Loom!

May 14, 2010 - Rave and Roll

One of the blogs that DJ Doc checks out on a regular basis is the Rave and Roll blog, hosted by Miss Parker. She is a devotee and afficionado of great music...more specifically, music in that alt-80's vein...tending to the rare and obscure. She is a blogger extraordinaire, archiving playlists of a great show from CFRC-FM in Kingston, Ontario (yes, Queens University), and also helping out on Marsbar Theatre. One of her ongoing features, "Criminally Underrated Artists/Bands", is always a revelation, providing insights into some rather amazing music. Check out Rave and Roll, and while you are at it, mosey on over to Marsbar Theatre for a little look see.

Tonight, the music in the last set belongs to Miss Parker...especially Flash and the Pan's "Down Among the Dead Men" (yes, Doc has this on vinyl). Thanks for the energy and dedication that you put into your blog, and your mad passion for the music that is important to you!

May 7, 2010 - Oeny the Lonely

Yeah, we know it is misspelled, but if you wait for it, it will make sense. The MC grooved the joint while the DJ was sipping vino at the Okanagan Spring Wine Festival in Kelowna. 60+ wineries, and 2.5 hours to sample them all...yes, there was a taxi chit included in the admission price to the event. Life is too short to drink bad wine...all in moderation, of course!

In vino veritas...

April 30, 2010 - Fund Drive Follies

Thanks to all who phoned in with pledges in support of CHLY's semi-annual FunDrive...with your support we were able to reach our goal of $20,000! It is always a fun show...MC brings in the synth, Doc brings in his EWI, the boys patch direct to the board, and musical insanity ensues. You phone in with a pledge, make a request, and the lads do their utmost to fulfil your needs! This year, ersthile Loom co-host Spidey swam over from the Mainland, and was just over-the-top with the game he brought to the table.

We did something a little different this year...the Impending Loom and In The Red joined forces for two hours of begging, pleading, and cajoling listeners to part with their hard-earned cash. It was simply insane, and we'll be sure to do it again in six months.

Thank you again for your support...we wouldn't exist without you!

April 23, 2010 - Calling Occupants of my Oasis!

The Carpenters vs. Oasis? Only Go Home Productions could come up with such a wonderful mashup combination in "Carpenter's Wonderwall". That's what the MC and the DJ like so much about mashups...not all of them work, but when they do they can be a work of hyper-creative art. "What were they thinking?" is a question that arises when we are laughing off our collective keesters in the studio, especially when the artist hits it out of the park with a specially-crafted combination. GHP (Mark Vidler) is a pioneer masher with a rock-solid pedigree. Special mention this week to Voicedude, who is always consistently good!
