Listen Records’ Summer Heat Sale

5 River Beat — Fri, 29 Jul 2011 22:58:31 +0000

20-50% off everything at Listen Records tomorrow! I’m so there! I’m most likely going to cop Ilaiyaraaja’s Solla Solla compilation, which is devoted to the electronic pop sound of Kollywood. Hopefully, I can also find copies of Sohail Rana’s Khyber Mail, the Sound of Wonder and maybe Psych Funk Sa-Re-Ga! Yup, I’ll be sharing these records on the 5 River Beat. It’s time to eclect-ify the program. Here’s some Solla Solla.

Good Times

Copping a sweater, hoodie and a Raging Bull Graphic Tee from Urban Outfitters, watching DJ Shadow perform live at the Edmonton Event Centre, eating a Beef Poutine at Mike’s Famous and cruising down Whyte with the Delhi Belly soundtrack, which I highly recommend, penetrating my ears….and doing all of these things with my significant other – DJ Palli J = One Awesome Night

Bhangra Fever

5 River Beat — Sun, 20 Feb 2011 20:20:41 +0000

I don’t know what Priyanka Chopra has to do with Bhangra, but I guess this party does coincide with the release of 7 Khoon Maaf so it’s all good. Oh yeah, there will be no 5 River Beat tonight because I’ll be at this event. But make sure you check out the program next week…the show will feature new material from DJ Vix and the Dhol Foundation.

…I wonder if this Bhangra event was named after the Deepak Khazanchi albums…I doubt it. If you don’t know what the hell I’m talking about…Khazanchi was the man behind Diamonds from Heera.

Here’s the trailer for 7 Khoon Maaf. I haven’t seen the trailer myself because trailers tend to ruin films and I am super-excited for this one.
