no, but then maybe you didn't see the runners i saw .. ;)

well, now you're applying something i said to something recoil or whoever said .. where's the link?

Fear is felt by every sentient being on earth. it's a 'feeling' derived from the deepest sense of survival. that's how creatures avoid death/pain/discomfort, by fearing that which seems like a threat to their well-being. and didn't someone say the puppies were 'screaming' ? (can't watch the vid myself, 'puter issues)

So, a scared animal = not anthropomorphism.

meh, don't know why you're stickin' to your guns here databoy ... point is: yes, a human's violent death is deplorable, but that does not mean that the same violent death is any less deplorable if/when an 'animal' is involved ...

anyway, +1 for being as stubborn as the rest of us :p

^ hahaha XD .. i'd rather eat 'em raw :p ...



yes, very stubborn! ;) ... i refused to let 'em get the best of me and force me to take the garbage stm transport at 10 am half-drunk after a long work shift. plus, i was making sure my boss and friend both got home safe - since yes, it was morning, but we had all been drinking - and i'm just like that.
plus, we didn't know what was going on until it was too late.

in all honesty, it cost that much 'cause i took a second cab to get home. had to walk a bit with the boss to her place after the first cab 'cause the cabbie had no idea how we could possibly get to her place under the circumstances! crazy!

(i gotta say, though, the second cabbie was cool enough to stop the meter 6 blocks from my place)

i don't think i should have to disrupt my whole routine and spend extra hard-earned cash 'cause of bunch of muscley jerks can have a little run. was this even for a good cause? was there cancer research involved? and if so, they should've just taken the money they spent on all the man-power and given it straight to the cause.

garbage. yet another one of this city's monumental acts of not-giving-a-shit-about-Montrealers ...

Mayor Tremblay: Logic Fail

really. closing off half of montreal. for a bunch of steroid-freak assholes. there are a thousand streets in montreal - you really have to close off the main arteries!? imma close off Mayor Tremblay's arteries ... prick.

how much are those cops at every single street corner in their pig-mobiles getting paid to sit and do absolutely nothing? how do they feel being glorified road-blocks?

if i cross a street on a red light at 5am, i might get a fine. but, WE are paying for a bunch of jock douche assholes to run around in short-shorts while the city/police/population encourages it.

sorry, i'm fucking pissed off.

circular cab ride: 43$
vitamin water to hydrate during the long-ass ride: 3$
2 cigarettes needed to calm down after the bullshit: 1$
complaining about it on the 'net: fucking goddamn priceless.

this was NOT the adventure i needed getting out of a 12 hour work shift.

you like pointless running? fuck you. imma watch you fuckers run when the zombie apocalypse hits.

then imma eat your muscular legs, and your vacant brains.

(on the bright side, there was probably no police man-power available to bust the rave last night :p )

yes, thank you sir! and thanks to Ashley - 'cause of her genius i no longer have to write out guestlists and details .. she just knows ;)

and thnx to all the wicked MTL DJs who have played and will play again .. and all you freaks who love hard fuckin' music and come out every week to prove it ...

thing is, this is only a pre-milestone; a warm-up .. wait 'til we hit the 6 month anniversary - which falls right after Halloween ... XD

power to the people!

OCDj: damn near half a year in existence =)

thnx to everyone for a wicked 5 months .. so much more to come !!

=)

now, back to throwing puppies in the lake ... oh no wait, maybe it's a good thing this thread got side-tracked :p

/end transmission

ok, well, i feel a little better now .. thnx Rev ;)

well great, now i feel bad .. o_O

there's no hiding that bliss can be a dick on the 'net with some ppl, but he's still a good DJ and deservers a spot at my night ... and he'll love playing for me :p

had i known that you wanted to plan a b-day event on Tuesday, i'd've let you make some suggestions and i could've put the ppl you dislike at a later date ... but, you can still come party with us, and just go up to Cafe Chaos from midnight to 1:00 XD

live 'n' let live, yeah? =)

anyway, i'm waving the white flag on this one ...

much love

Incase you don't already know 'em :

BLISS:

Montreal breakbeat kingpin and former Passeport Resident (1997 - 2000) Dj Bliss will be returning to the scene of the crime this coming Tuesday to drop an exclusive Hardcore Breakbeat set prepared with love specifically for this event.

During his 3 year stint at Passeport Bliss promoted a variety of clubnights including LUNA Thursdays one of Montreal's only electronic clubnights at the time and one of the only clubnights where clubgoers were able to hear electro and breakbeat during the 90s. Luna Thursdays was also one of the first clubnights to book many now influential DJs such as Dj Sarcastic.

Bliss also held down the Fridays and the Saturdays for several years and playing a blend of electro, industrial, alternative & breakbeat to a packed house every weekend. His unique mashup style of all these elements has been credited as a major influence on many other DJs at the time where purism was the norm.

For this event Bliss with dropping the heaviest in hardcore breakbeat ( [ fr.wikipedia.org ] ), a genre which is going through a serious revival in the UK at the moment and which is a sound no one in Montreal is playing at the moment.

For a full Dj Bliss Bio, and Mixes, you can check out [ www.rave.ca ] or consult [ www.djbliss.net ] .

DAVID FLORIDA:

The story of David Florida has been told countless times in popular culture, often with gross historical inaccuracy. To this day, opinion remains strongly polarized on the question of Florida’s actual guilt or innocence. Having served 20 years of prison time, he is remembered more for his conviction than for his actual career.

Florida was known in some circles as a one-punch machine gun, but remained largely silent on the matter outside the ring. “It’s my work” he would say, “I do it for pay. And when it’s all over I’d just as soon be my way.”

His fight game featured a fearsome left hook. His right was also pretty good and he often finished a round with a flurry of body punches. Emile Griffith, even though he didn’t have his title on the line at the time, listed Florida as one the heaviest hitters he ever faced. Rightly so too, because he got his ass knocked down twice in the first round!

With regard to the actual crime, there are two theories, each with their staunch supporters. Each camp is able to list seemingly solid alibis, getaway routes and motives. Much of the supporting evidence in the case relies on the testimony of petty criminal Alfred Bello, who has changed his story with each mistrial and even admitted to stealing $60 from the register when he went to get a dime for the payphone.

Despite having been released from incarceration, Florida has never been formally declared innocent or otherwise exonerated by the courts.

David Florida currently resides in Montreal.

So come on out to dance and drink your asses off ... and chill-out with us! =)

yes!! this is gonna be awesome ... =)

attributing human characteristics to non-humans, eh? like stupidity? :p

so people are dying. that sucks. doesn't make it any less sad that someone kills puppies by drowning.

the bottom line here isn't death, it's the manner in which death is dealt. euthanasia has it's reasons for being, but jesus christ on crutches, torture and/or unjustified euthanasia is another story.

realize that the last thing that the puppies felt was fear. complete fear. flying unnaturally through the air, then hitting the rushing water, then fighting for their life, drowning. who wants to die in utter fear? no one.

i know we should also sympathise when people are killed in horrible ways, but again, that doesn't mean we can't sympathise if any other creature is killed. saying you don't care about dead puppies because humans are also dying is a complete logic fail.

"According to Kant, man has the duty to strengthen the feeling of compassion, since this feeling promotes morality in relation to other human beings. But, cruelty to animals deadens the feeling of compassion in man. Therefore, man is obliged not to treat animals brutally"

so even if you don't give two shits about animals, this video should scare you because this person might be now capable of doing the same thing to any children she might have.

and Databoy, just because people do things in a certain way, and have been for a while, that does not necessarily make it right. people have been killing eachother since the dawn of man, yet you seem to have issues with that.

babies are not all that much more 'aware' than animals, i guess we should stomp on 'em too since humans are seriously overpopulating this earth. look at all the vagrant peoples around. maybe we should kill the homeless to fix that problem too. turn the whole world into some redneck farm.

there are a few left at Sound Central .. though i grabbed the remainder of the good stuff :p

i'm working on getting a small batch of Industrial Strength records for Sound Central -- i'll bump this thread when it actually gets done ...

besides that, there really aren't any places to get hardcore. not anymore .. very unfortunate. you might find some hardtechno or hard d'n'b if you look real hard in some of the 'techno' record shops, but you'll mostly find House type stuff. You can find some gems in the other 'normal' new & used record shops, but it's rare. might find some Industrial though ...

anyway, good luck -- we need DJs with more hardcore vinyl! =)

good call on RubberMuffin! =)

good times! yup, the '90s stuff felt great to play! ... this city needs a regular night like that! XD

Thanks to everyone who came out, i had a alot of fun =) and thanks for all the b-day wishes & drinks!

... and of course my gratitude to Construct & Golgo13 for their wicked Dj skills! (btw, it's Construct's B-day next week, so go see him at Bassdrive!)

@ OCDj next week: Bliss, David Florida, Shao !!

"i'm not a trendy asshole, i do what i want, i do what i feel like ..
i'm not a trendy asshole, i don't give a fuck if it's good enough for you"

-offspring (before they became trendy assholes :p )

ROFL!! XD

ha! mine too XD .. that's probably what i'll drop :p

yup.

couldn't go to this (work among other reasons) but i have to say that agree that Circus is no place to be throwing 'raves', on the other hand, this is how little choice we have left for venues, and that is pretty sad. i doubt that anybody really wanted the party to be there, but what choice do ppl have? some day soon, we're all gonna have to get together and build our own fucking place that we can do anything we want with, 'cause it'll be our house. with no neighbours. =)

life is about things dying. the hard part, is keeping 'em alive . . .

^ yeah!! should be lotsa fun =)

don't forget --> Guestlist: Everybody! XD

can't wait to play a bunch of '90s "classics" for y'all, and hear some wicked dubstep!

haha XD thnx ;)

Hey everybody! Looks like it's my birthday, on Tuesday August 31st, right on OCDj ! - So, we're having a special night: i'll be playing blocks of '90s Alternative (Nirvana, Pixies, Sonic Youth, Soundgarden, Offspring, Weezer, Prodigy, Underworld, Chemical Brothers, etc. - all the stuff i love from '89 to '98 XD ) along with Golgo13, while Construct plays blocks of Dubstep!! :::

--> Construct !! (Bassdrive) {Dubstep}
--> Golgo 13 !! (Beat Concierge) {'90s Alt Rock)
--> Nā ! (Deadna) {'90s Alternative}

So come out to celebrate, and hear some dubstep & all those tunes you've probably forgotten about!

NO COVER THIS WEEK !! THE NIGHT IS FREE !!

"Proud to be maladjusted" -mlk

no worries guys! there will be a next time .. there has to be a next time! 'cause there were at least 4 or 5 DJs that came and didn't get to play, and another 4 or 5 that couldn't make it due to health reasons (and forgetfulness, eh Kishmay :p - i'd love for you to bring some ragga-core!) ...

in fact, the DJs showed up and filled the list up before it was even 22:00 !!

next time i may even have to do 2 nights in a row, wherein the overflow would play the following week .. anyway i'll figure something out XD

thnx so much to all the DJs that played! ::: Simon, Industrial-Meat, Alex, Dans Tes Oreilles, Plan C, VNFX, Zombie Mastah, Axel Helios, and Screwhead !!! Awesomeness all around .. hardcore, d'n'b, psy, hardtechno .. all good!

and of course, thnx to everyone for showing up! good times, good people .. your support is much appreciated, by me and your friendly neighbourhood DJs =)

next week: my stupid birthday party!! XD

yeah! only few hours away ... NOTE: Sign-up sheet is at the DJ booth! =)

brap

Y'know, one day Gamos is gonna wake up, and realize that the "DJs" are Nurses, the "Promoters" are Psychiatrists, and all those Speeds and E's were just Xanax and Laxatives. Yes, we are all just a figment of his imagination; and that mouse that he's been using to scroll with, is an actual mouse, that got through the hole in the wall of his padded cell ... .. .

:p

(just fuckin' around gamos, you're alright .. XD )

Let's get dangerous ... ;)

yup yup! just over 5 hours 'til the sign-up madness! XD

Remember: Cover is only 2$ tonight !! Special Open-Decks price! =)

i think that's considered "Craplatonic" :p

right on!

wow, so many DJs wanting to play .. it's gonna be a race to the finish line - i mean, sign-up sheet! XD

fixed ;)

hmm .. interesting question ... XD

well, i really don't mind if DJs want to tag, but the same basic rules apply.

The options are:
- You can Tag for 30 minutes (1 slot for the 2 DJs) i really don't mind ...
- You BOTH show up on time to sign-up for 2 consecutive slots (1 each), IF available, so that you can play together for the hour (though this option seems less fair to those playing for only 30 min.)

So yes, of course, Tag-Teams are fine!

Chose your own adventure ... =)

Alright!! OCDj is proud to be hosting another Open Decks night! Last time was a blast, with both new and old talent! SO, back by popular demand :::

--> OPEN DECKS !!

The "rules" are simple:

- I have 8 slots to fill, 30 minute sets, first come first serve for both the sign-up and choice of time-slots.

- Sign-up is between 22:00 & 23:00 o'clock. First 6 DJs get a free drink!

- You have to play Hard electronic music (ie. Hardcore, gabber, d'n'b, hardtek, hardtechno, industrial, dubstep, HHC, speedcore, breakcore, etc.)
and you have to be professional enough not to break the gear or my needles! XD

- My 2 favourite DJs get a guaranteed & proper booking for OCDj in September / October .

- Anyone who shows up with music (records, CDs, laptop) before 23:00 with the intent to play, gets in for free, even if all the slots are taken up. Cover is only 2$ for everyone else (that's half-price) !

@ Bar Le Passeport, 2037 St. Denis (metro Berri-UQAM)

So, come on out and show us your crazy skills, have a drink, bring your friends, and have a good time!

"Proud to be maladjusted" - mlk

so, see you all ... tonight! :p

Approximate Schedule:
22:00 - Nā
22:45 - Nā vs. Alakazoo
23:30 - Alakazoo

=)

nice fuckin' line-up! =)

HA!

a horse walk into a bar, and the bartender asks: "why the long face?" ...

XD

and won all the spice! :p

since when does a rave have to be cheesy & trancy for it to be a 'for realz' rave ???

the only PLUR that would come to mind if i heard tacky trance-eurotrance at a rave is Please Let Us Riot (and lynch the Dj) ... :p

... but hell, to each his own, and you are allowed to start threads while high, so ... good luck with that! XD

gonna try to swing by after work! =)

i'd like for it to be still going on when i get there later, so, BE SUPER NINJA PEOPLE! XD

i dunno, maybe the mating dances & rituals can be a wonder to behold, but the sex itself is just a little of the ol' in out in out .. pretty boring to see if you're not actually part of it :p

only humans would turn procreation into entertainment ... give them bugs their fucking privacy! XD

(please don't misinterpret - i don't have a problem with sexuality or the intrinsic beauty of sharing bodies, nor do i think ppl should be fucking insects)
