It begins.

Sorry to say this but REPOST... funny nonetheless.

Are there LOLMonkeys?

I think it's probably overly expensive and comes in one size: stripper.

We're the neighbours of the beast now.



Yeah! MAIDEN! KICK ASS!

Got any Ghetto Blaster? Hehehe.

Pomegranates. They would be my choice.

It's really a typical masturbatory jaunt through the new-age theories of the director, applied to an overly melodramatic film. If you really feel like it was deep you must have gotten hypnotized by the special effects.

The soundtrack is by Underworld. But it's not the Underworld I remember, they sound like some attempt at Primal Scream.

Tu veut dire, tu cherches le skeud qu'il joue?

Better question in my mind: would you rather see a Live PA or a DJ?

I'm sure a few morons out there are going to be all over this, especially where the blacklights are in full force. Brace yourselves for the era of MORE CRAP!

Oh and just to juxtapose, repost...

The style these days is to wear a garbage bag and smear poo on your lips, then put a rotten beaver carcass on your head and whistle the Davy Crockett theme song. That's NU RAVE! YEAH!

If you can read this you're spending too much time on [ rave.ca ]

The guy with no skin was pretty lame.

Good luck on getting that blow job!

Seems sort of not to be working. I'll take what's in the pants.

Sorry... tangents.

If you want it, it's not rape.

Santa rapage...



NOW STOP SCREAMING DEE! THINGS COULD BE WORSE! ABORT! ABORT! EAT STEM CELLS! YAY!

St. Jean Basstiste. That was a festival though.

In my opinion, there are no more raves. There are a bunch of electronic music parties. But no more raves. So what if the name of the site is [ rave.ca ] we're not talking thousands of people any more and it just doesn't feel like it fits the definition. Does anyone miss the thousands? I don't, really.

It really sucks that there was no Santa-rapage.

What if you wake up in the middle of the night and the bus is hiding in the closet, waiting to crash into your bed? That's where the shotgun comes in handy.

I love thinking of a situation where the hubby comes home and realizes his wife is cheating on him in their bedroom, then looks for the gun and realizes he's made a major miscalculation.

I just want us to have quality parties... and I have an anger problem :P

You guys are doing ok, just try not to use the word "Rave" so much. It has bad connotations...

Deadfunk- accusation detracted. Totally pre-emptive strike. Forget it, never happened.

Don't you have to paint those things, and buy a whole bunch of them? Are there actually rules to that game?

I noticed they seem to have tournaments at Donjon over at Ontario and de la Visite-a-fion. It seems cool but yeah, mighty expensive and time-consuming.

...you wake up in the morning in bed with Deadfunk.

My mother is the only one who hasn't returned to the soothing stress relief of weed. My stepfather is now toking from time to time, when not enjoying fine imported pipe tobacco. He wanted me to get into pipe tobacco pretty badly too, almost bought me a $70 pipe in fact. I told him I just wasn't that into smoking... but I may change my mind. Imagine how classy it would be to strut outside with a pipe while everyone else is bumming smokes?

Of course class kind of costs money...

I'm unwilling to accept that Tobacco isn't higher on the scale than Ketamine, and that Acid is higher on the scale than Khat. Khat is highly addictive and fairly dangerous as well... if it's on the list why would they put it on the bottom? Tobacco is also more addictive than cocaine, and crack should be second to heroin. Also to have Acid higher up than Ecstasy baffles me. I think the statistics have been tampered with to suit scheduling of drugs. Man, weed is even higher up than Ecstasy. I CALL BULLSHIT!

Red Galactic Ass Dragon:

I lubricate in order to seduce.
Using the power of rohypnol,
I create the energy of regret and shame.

border = "0"?? damn.

That Drink Wheel sounds so mystical... and so appealing... are you sure you can't bring it out for the sake of sheer drunkenness? There's honour in drunkenness, I swear, and mad respek. Innit. (OLD)

Galactic Ass Dragon? Isn't that a Mayan astrological sign?

Considering a Breakcore DJ set, although I mix like shit. But I mean, why spin it badly when Fishead and Inyourface will be dropping it like it's hot the night before?

Woah there are more parties on the 29th than on NYE it seems! Can you say party-hop?

I'm so there. Then I'm gone, to Torontorotontorotron.

Rumour has it Fishead is booked in aforementioned city... on like the 28th or something. Tis true?

So... the girl ends up stuck to her rapist after he tries to fuck her? Sounds like a nightmare!

Ok ok, I retract... sorry tiny raver children who should be trying to get through HIGH SCHOOL, considering those are your FORMATIVE YEARS instead of turning into the next wave of drug addicts. Good luck getting jobs.

Sorry to snap at you about that shit though Sabi, you're still cool by my books, I'm just a bit on edge (see post re broken computer and actually getting booked for once NOW THAT IT'S FUCKING BROKEN $!&^!!@#&$@!^$&@!#^@$&!@$*^&!@$*& CRISS!). Quit doing chems as well, so it was hard for me to get into the vibe of that party.

Studio Loco would be awesome for an trip-out party, with one room. Other things, namely hardcore parties, yyyyyeaaah not so much.

I can't help but wonder, having been a part of Toronto's contemporary to GRIP, called TRIP (we were there first, too, the project was initiated in '96!), why GRIP is never present at any parties, handing out information, being part of the scene, generally trying to make sure people do their drugs safely and know exactly how it works (not like somebody's mom, but more like an informed friend), and why if they're in need of funding they don't get people to sign a petition promoting their cause, which is what TRIP did year after year in order to ensure that the MUNICIPAL government coughed up a sizeable grant so we could provide our services. We managed to actually get them to support us because we were actively participating in the Toronto party scene. GRIP is an embarassment. When I initially talked to them I was alarmed at how lousy their drug info was, how it tended to only discourage excessive use, without being smart enough to consider people who wish to do synchro-trips, and how it reminded me of the b.s. that you can find just about anywhere. Yeah, I'm bragging. But I know TRIP has always been one of the best harm-reduction organizations in Canada so all I'm saying is that GRIP should maybe consider speaking to them... but! Language barrier! Yeah, I realize this is Quebec and that there's this Bill 101 crap but the info GRIP puts out is almost exclusively in French, and half the outreach workers I met three years ago (I've seen no outreach since) couldn't speak a word of English. Well, a good portion of the staff at TRIP can speak O.K. french, I can name at least four people who were employed there while I was there, including myself, and GRIP still really didn't have much communication with us. I'm sorry but if GRIP is in need of fundraising, why don't they publicize it? Why don't they post anything on this forum? Why are they virtually invisible? Is Johnny Law breathing down your backs? If so, there is a way to work the system to indicate that there is a need for such harm reduction services, and you could ask TRIP how they did their grant proposals. Otherwise, you're not doing a good enough job. Sorry GRIP, I'm totally disappointed. You're going to have to represent or someone else is going to do your job for you. Ketamine and Speed are huge in this city but I haven't seen any sort of campaign to inform users on the perils of addiction and chronic use (or abuse, whatever you want to call it).

END RANT.

P.S.: I know some people out there *cough*Deadfunk*cough* believe that we shouldn't inform ourselves because of some sort of belief in Social Darwinism, but before you start your stupid retorts let me say YOU'RE TOOLS, STFU, NOOBS.

*sniff sniff*, *skeet skeet*

Yikes... I'm getting booked and nobody even knows how bad things are for me.

First off... I just got evicted. I can't spend my money on any parties of any sort. I'm going home for the holidays and I hope I won't spend the whole weekend weeping about how little time I have to move. I'm lucky that I have one single option for a place to move, but that doesn't mean I can fit all my stuff there.

Secondly... my laptop died a cruel death back in November, I went to a repair shop with it and they gave me an estimate of $1700 for repairs. It happened right before I went to Toronto for most of that month, so that estimate was at some fancy Mac store out there. I apparently have to replace my Macbook Pro's logic board, top and bottom casing, and the logic board is about $900, the case is about $500, then they tab on $300 for labour. INSANE. I found out I could run my hard drive externally. Looked like it was going to get me by, but since that's a USB enclosure that I bought, and it's a cheap-ass piece of crap (which is strangely all I can seem to find that runs a SATA 2.5" drive), and I thought that the eSATA Express Card I bought would run it but alas, I can't boot from the card, things ran awfully slow once I got this thing.

Then I find out there's something wrong with the cable, and I realized that I couldn't even move the computer a little bit or the cable would end up shifting in the USB port and cacking out, causing the computer to freeze and the power to go all erratic on the hard drive. For a few weeks I was trying to run my lappy off the drive, which meant adjusting the cable, turning on the computer, getting an error message, turning it back off again, then back on again, getting another error, until I'd finally get the cable in the right spot so the damn thing would boot. Then the final blow happened, one day I'm doing something typically useless with my laptop, like listening to Mike Jones on ITunes, and the thing freezes. I start it up again and it can't find the drive. I run Disk Utility off my mac install discs and the drive is IRREPARABLE. So yeah, it seems the drive is dead... ALONG WITH A YEAR'S WORTH OF DATA. WHICH I WAS TOO STUPID TO BACK UP.

So I'm essentially back to running off of an old Celeron-chip computer, 1G of RAM, 1Ghz processor, 128Mb video card, and a faulty Edirol FA-66. I've gone entirely ghetto. And I no longer have my newer tracks, including some very complex shit that I wrote in 17/8, 7/4, 9/8, 5/4, and basically a bunch of "experimental" time signatures. (V-Snares rocks 7/4 like crazy and most people dance to it anyway) I'm trying not to think about it. A friend of mine has been helping me out with the drive, and I'm waiting for his copy of Diskwarrior 4 in order to fix things. But it doesn't look like it's going to give me back my hard drive or the functionality required to do a live set.

Yeah so, I guess I'd love to pull out a hat and ask for donations to keep me from becoming a total wash-up, but I am. There you have it. Haters, take your easy shots. I'm sure a bunch of people will get a thrill out of hearing that my shit is belly up, but fuck all y'all. And those of you who showed me love in the past, many thanks, but I'm afraid that I am regrettably forced to be on hiatus. That means I still can't put out a disc on HMCR (which was the plan for November), I still can't drop something off with C64 at Dross:tik, I still have NO UPS.

So you still want to book me? I could play some old tracks I wrote with Impulse Tracker. That's about it. But in all seriousness, I got nothing to show for a year of hard work and I've returned to being a sessions musician, recording engineer, synth programmer, and guitarist for some work I've been doing with my friend Mikael. I might play a few open mic nights, and all I have in the works is helping him out on a remix of Rick James' "69 Lives". So I'm trying to roll with the punches. But this last one was huge.

Message to everyone out there: back EVERYTHING UP. COMPULSIVELY. It's the only way to avoid this sort of crisis.

Peace.
Luke Peril, erstwhile producer of way too strange beats.

Thanks for the props though, I guess it's good to hear.

Yo what the fuck? Why are you attacking me over what I said? I need an escort because I thought this party was lame? Why the fuck would you attack me personally? I can't give a negative review of a party? Sorry that I'm not patting everyone else on the back and being a scenester. I think people benefit more from honesty than from a bunch of "party was so great" "so nice to see old faces and new faces".

So sorry to diss Studio Loco, but yo, downstairs is fine, upstairs is too smokey and uncomfortable. It was too crowded and I don't like partying with teenagers unless I'm being paid to babysit. Sorry to be ageist but I really prefer partying with adults. And I don't like paying $14 to see a bunch of locals, but then again I wasn't aware that 25% was going to charity. I would have preferred if I had the option to just toss you guys the $3.50 for that and gone home. The kicker though was that the NTK guys completely flaked out. I came to see them and James (Princestopiate) play and was thoroughly disappointed.

Oui et j'etait 16 ans en 1994. Je ne veux pas retourner. C'etait la misère.

Whatever.

Seriously dude, whatever.

Like whatever, seriously dude.

Seriously whatever dude.

Unbelievable... yeah keep it up man, this is an amazing set. WTFcore rocks!

What's the official name for "Lost" fans? Losers?

Taken to school once again... I assumed they were the same guy because of similarities and them both being available from the same site. But I've met Ed so I should have cleared that up then.

Quite confused... couldn't even tell you what wrestlers you were talking about. But I thought it was Chris Benoit who killed his whole family? I just hope bringing that up won't result in trauma to the knees.
