i've raved about this party on numerous occasions. ofcourse, the fact that my favourite dj crew also happens to be the resident is just a tiny coincidence.

but tonight, tune in to CBC Newsworld at 10pm EST for ROUGH CUTS
BREAKIN' IN: THE MAKING OF A HIP HOP DANCER
The images are everywhere: young Black women shaking their assets in music videos featuring the biggest names in hip hop. The dancers appear to be pretty props-gyrating to songs with misogynistic lyrics, sung by, mostly, male rappers. To many, these images are exploitative and stereotypical. Yet, auditions are highly sought after. What drives these women to risk everything - education, jobs, relationships-for a chance at fame?

joss stone performs tomorrow at massey hall in a show presented by the House of Blues. last time i checked, tickets were still available; but remember massey hall has issues with the comfort of their seats (those hard wooden things they call seats) and obstructed views.

on a 'me' note...
i've decided it's time to get up on the technology tip; so i'm mp3 player searching. this decision is also influenced by the realization that i have WAY too many music files on my pc. i'm torn between the ipod (i needwant atleast a 30gb or 40gb) and the zen micro. i'm hoping to have my newest 'toy' by mid-june.
