Still need a Halloween Costume?

Amanda Blank: We Love You Too

I can’t think of a better way to launch the new site than to tantalize JoC fans with the latest beatiness to come out of Philly. Amanda Blank has worked with Diplo, M.I.A and Ghostface Killah over the past few years, and will be touring North America in November with Toronto’s first lady, Peaches. Collaborating with these major players is sure to put enough cred on anyone’s resume to guarantee a solid following.

Her current tour is to promote her first debut solo album I Love you. She’ll be hitting the UK at the end of this month, with a Halloween-eve show at Proud here in London. Be there—JoC will be!

Check her first single!

Step 1. Beats on. Step 2. Spray.

It’s not new but it is sweet. DJ Mehdi’s track Breakaway featuring NY graffiti virtuoso Futura 2000 in all his spray can glory. Enjoy!

Daniel Suelo has been living in a Utah cave without touching money since the Fall of 2000. He’s happy, healthy and promoting his lifestyle through his website and blog—which he updates for free at the local library. There’s definitely a lesson to be found in his story for all us ‘hyper-consumers’.

Classic Canadiana

I used to love this NFB short—still do! Danced around my living room dreaming of one day marrying a log driver.
Also loved A Part of Our Heritage films.
Amazing! Check them out on YouTube!
