Sanity check: Is anyone else's internet down in #Halifax?

If you're going to do a holiday cocktail, please call it the "Bar Humbug", and obviously it should be decorated with just one lump of black licorice.

You can have that one for free.

A new mix is out today -- a perfect vibe for a Sunday afternoon. My submission demo for the Hope & Wellness Festival 2026. #dnb #170bpm #halftime

I've had that feeling again where I hear a new record someone recommended and it gives me goosebumps. I'm at a loss as to how I hadn't already been looped in.

Holy Fawn: Death Spells -- #shoegazer #metal #wallofsound

Can anyone recommend a good Christmas movie where none of the performers have had Botox or other disturbing facial procedures?

Somehow my Sonos messed up again and I came home to find my car has been listening to thrash metal all day.

Yep.

What have we learned about centralized services today?

I believe it's true that the best art is born of struggle. It's intermingled with and grown out of pain, hard work, resilience, talent and practice. The minute you start believing "I'm good!", it all goes to shit.

There is no greater feeling than when you're behind the decks trying to move people with music and the dance floor is swirling in the froth of your intention. #dj #djing

Shake it off after work tonight. 5:30pm - Midnight.

Yours truly is spinning #DnB from about 8:30pm, I'd expect. There are still tickets.

Maybe I'm late to the party on this one but is Trump about to invade Latin America in much the same way Putin is doing in Ukraine, thus solidifying the US global position among the world's bad guys? ... And far more than a rhetorical threat to Canada

Reaction to the rise of AI technology:

Gen X: Easy access to stuff? Bring it on...
Millennials: Ok. I guess. Something else we have to learn. (Sigh)
Gen Z: [Too riddled with abject fear, anxiety and catastrophization to respond -- retreat to safe spaces]
Gen A: 6-7 lolz! [Transfixed with TikTok]

I found an 8bit cover album of Smashing Pumpkins Mellan Collie and the Infinite Sadness. It's as terrible as you might expect. I'll never understand this desire to make things that are deliberately bad.

Security guards at Halifax Shopping Center just evacuated everyone from the mall citing an ongoing emergency situation. 4-5 police cars came on scene as people were filing out.

"AI really has nothing to bring to the realm of mus-..." 👀

ParaNorman
Coraline
Monster House
Box Trolls

... What else should I watch?

(Don't say A Nightmare Before Christmas... too many songs)

Stay awesome, #halifax.
