Very Cool Discovery - Sia

Maybe you've heard of her...
Her name is Sia. Her music is fantastic, her videos are eccentric, and her voice is delicious!

If you haven't heard of her before, I strongly suggest you start listening. I first saw her video called buttons and I bought her CD. It is fantastic! I'm desperately hoping she comes to Toronto!

So, here is my Very Cool Discovery of the week: SIA - The girl you lost to cocaine

Very Cool Discovery - a soon to be, largely-discovered, Canadian comedian

Hopefully many of you have already heard about this guy--but he will ALWAYS remind me of Canada...even when I'm 60. When I first got here, Jon Lajoie was one of the things that helped me to love Canada more--well him and the sanity most of its Torontonians (sp.) seem to display. In any case, I thought I would share, as I would hate for Hollywood to claim him as their own!
To a hilarious Canadian comedian:

Not Give A Fuck... (OH man...if only that were remotely possible for me!)



And if you don't think that one is funny... try this:

Very Cool Discovery - an indie lovers fitness dream!

I'm quite proud that I discovered something so cool. Obviously I'm sure that others have found it first, but if you learn about this through me, it's good enough to pass on.

There is a podcast I recently started listening to called "The Cadence Revolution". And since I happen to be a gym-rat... in more ways than one, I have become addicted to this podcast. It's an hour plus of fast, upbeat music that is original, unique, and talks about REAL SHIT kids... you can't get much better than that.

Here are some other reasons why it's amazing:

1) IT'S FREE
2) It's created by independent artists from all over the world--NYC, India, you name it.
3) The music is created with the intention of the listener working out to it--so it's fast paced, but it can also be used as a pre-made party soundtrack
4) The lyrics are fantastic--the artists talk about very real things, here is an excerpt from the first song off of show #85: (<-- to take a listen, click there)

"damn you hollywood you got me good,
you made me think that i understood,
people and places that don't exist,
do not tremble in my way cause i'm shaking my fist at you,
none of these memories are mine, you put them in my mind..."

CHORUS: "we need to work it out, out from what we've seen,
seeing that the story's not the story of the screen,
this technicolor mess, well it's not what you came for!

It's delicious! and i love it! Here's the info:
