So, i joined the site blackout yesterday - kinda late. However, the javascript and other stuff, wouldn't work properly on the Blogger platform.

I will be re-adding the label links tonight, as well as some other stuff that was removed after i re-uploaded the default layout.

There's STILL a bunch of stuff to do to SHELVE SOPA/PIPA for GOOD! And, we have until the 24th of this month to contact everyone you can...your senators, people in charge...everybody! There were websites of Senators taken offline due to this yesterday - just because everything blew up. Not to mention the phone lines being jammed up. But, there's still a lot to do!

This podcast - along with the numerous others - are ALL IN RISK if these bills pass. We all saw what the blackout did yesterday. Well, think of that as being constant. If i say something wrong, i can be taken off. If i play something that i have the right to play - but, seen otherwise (Think: Youtube) - i could be taken down. I don't know about a court proceeding being that i am in Canada - however, that reality is now becoming...true.

This doesn't just affect Podcasters - this also affects independent news resources that aren't run by NBC, CBS, ABC...and, the worst of the worst....Fox - not to mention others.

Infowars will be taken down. The Drudge Report, Reddit - Wikipedia...Anything that's Free and Open Source...like, the FSF (Free Software Foundation) - Linux as we know it - whatever "Flavour" you use. Microsoft and Apple will become the ONLY "Big players".

We all know that Google - as of today - has now implemented SOPA like searches. I've tried this. All you have to do is go to google.com - go to the news section...and, type in something like "Google censoring searches" - or, anything on infowars.com - NOTHING!

And, i'm seriously beginning to think that i will be censored. If not now, in the future.

This is what you can STILL DO!!!

STOP SOPA AND PIPA!

New Releases for March and into April!

noreply@blogger.com (ToxicDoom) — Sat, 26 Mar 2011 23:00:00 +0000

Just because the podcast has been on Hiatus, Don't Think for one minute that music hasn't been being continuously added. And, since right now i'm not monitoring the "Old" Twitter account (Because i've actually screwed up a couple of times trying to update the personal one - and, then it accidentally goes to the personal one LOL.) I'm gonna do an automatic update here for music that's been added in the past few weeks, and give ya some links to where ya can buy them!

Panic! At The Disco: Vices & Virtues:

Yea, wow - they added the ! back into their name. LOL. Indecisive? I think so!

Britney Spears: Femme Fatale

Avril Lavigne: Goodbye Lullaby:

Japan - and Reflections

noreply@blogger.com (ToxicDoom) — Sat, 12 Mar 2011 12:06:00 +0000

We ALL know about what has happened in Japan over the last...26 hours or so. And, if you don't...you've really been in a shell! It could take weeks to understand the disaster - but, we know the situation as it stands right now, and that it's not looking pretty. Hell, it hasn't looked pretty since the first pictures started to emerge.

Twitter was the first to break the news. And, I do believe i was the one in Medicine Hat to hand the news to locals here in the city. But, the support worldwide has been ENORMOUS!!!

Sure, there have been people who, when the news first broke - started with the jokes. And, to those people i say this: YOU are the PROBLEM with Humanity! Now, i'm NOT against jokes and comedy - because, situations like this do need humour. To at least take the minds off it. HOWEVER - there is a time and a place to do it, and it's NOT when it first happens! Wait a few fucking days, will ya?

I have extended family just about everywhere - except Japan where this terrible shit has happened. I went through it a few weeks ago when New Zealand got hit with something similar. And, then, when Japan got hit yesterday - people on the Pacific coasts had to worry. That's where I have Family. From B.C. to Oregon...and, i had to worry about warning them, and praying that i didn't wake up to something only my worst nightmares could predict.

Thankfully, i didn't. And, it made my day when i woke up to touch base with everyone affected. My "Sister", my "2nd mom"...all the way to the Celeb's on Twitter in Hawaii - Dog, Beth and the rest of their family.

My prayers were with them lastnight. My prayers are still with the people affected in Japan. My prayers are still with EVERYONE with family members anywhere right now - be it here, or around the world - with family or friends in Japan who still haven't heard anything.

Although, i can't begin to imagine what everyone's going through right now...but, believe me when i say that when i first started seeing pictures, it was like i was there. I literally broke down crying, and knowing that now, we're beginning to understand the force of mother nature and how un-fucking-predictable she is, and that we can do nothing but try and warn, support and help - when and where we can.

Natural disasters put the stupid things we complain about in perspective; we never know how/when we can be affected. Be thankful and prayerful. (as in the words of @WilsonTech1)

This being said. Toxic TuneZ will NOT be in the news for the next couple of days. NOTHING is more important right now than helping out, when we can - by any means necessary.

For Shaw, they have gone beyond what i'd expect from a company. Not only have they given access to TV Japan to their customers, but, they have given free long distance to all their customers to reach Japan. I'm hoping that Telus, Bell...any Telco or Service Provider is doing the same thing.

CNN has also provided streaming online. All you have to do is go to their website by clicking on that link, and then click on the "Live: Japan" stream.

For Canadians: http://www.international.gc.ca/humanitarian-humanitaire/japan_earthquake_japon_seisme.aspx?lang=eng

For Americans And Elsewhere: http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2011/03/11/tsunami-aid-and-relief-how-you-can-help/?hpt=T1

Those 2 links offer ways that you can Help. Also, on the CNN Page (For Americans....) There's also a link to Google Person Finder to find friends and family members - and, to also post information about people. So - if you are in the crowd of people who are looking for any kind of lifeline - check it out. If you don't want to go to the CNN site to get to the Google Person Finder...

Video Premiere From Britney Spears - 3 days Late! LOL

noreply@blogger.com (ToxicDoom) — Wed, 23 Feb 2011 14:19:00 +0000

Britney Spears' new video from her newly anticipated album "Femme Fatale" debuted a couple of days ago - and, MTV - both in Canada, and the U.S were flooded online! mtv.ca actually went through a bit of a snag in trying to get the video up and running - and, when they did....did the site ever explode! But, since i can't post anything from MTV's website to here - i have to wait til the Official channels on Youtube push the video out!

I know you guys have been DYING to know what kind of "Mainstream" music i have added to the podcast. Well, this is one of the artists that have been added! Britney Spears! She started following me on Twitter sometime before Valentine's day this year (For reasons, i dunno lol) - But, i have added her to my rotation! So, without further Ado - here is the Brand Spankin' New Video from Ms. Spears!

Make sure to be on the lookout in the near future for how you can get your hands on the album when it comes out next month!

You can get the single from iTunes here:

Try to ignore the mess!

noreply@blogger.com (ToxicDoom) — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 04:05:00 +0000

So, I've officially moved now - though, the site right now is about....60% done I would say! And, not a shabby job I might add! I still have some tinkering around to do - but, all in all...it's damn near done! There are quite a few things to go through though before the podcast is fully up and running again - so, let's go through this right now!
First off, the podcast feed IS WORKING AGAIN! It took a little bit of digging around, because apparently, archive.org decided it would be FUN to fuck around with everyone's damn files. What they had done was moved to another server or something - and, 2 of the shows were "Lost" So, i had to search for my damn podcast on the site - and, copy the URL of the MP3 files, and adjust the feed details!

NOT NICE ARCHIVE.ORG! NOT NICE!

I say that like they're really gonna notice and take precautions next time.

Secondly: The podcast is slated for a return of around April. It could be sooner, but I'm just not sure yet. Mainly because, if you didn't know - I moved out of my parents' house, and now...I'm on my own, and all alone (Look! I rhyme! lmao) Along with that comes the stupid responsibilities of paying bills, making sure i eat....etc. etc. Timing could not have been worse, because i need to replace the old headset....and, of course, my coffee machine would have to be on it's last leg. Go figure.

Since the return won't be anywhere near this month or next - i did have an idea.

What's your brilliant idea there, Chris? I hear some of you asking

Simple! I was thinking about taking you on a journey. A journey through 5 years of my shows! Even though most of them are gone *CRIES* - some of them are still around! So, what i was thinking about doing was to post an older show every week until i get back!

Gotta be warned though: Some of them can get pretty scary! Hell, I can't even listen to 'em! LOL.

If you wanna see that though, feel free to go ahead and leave your comments in my new comments area!

Which reminds me....i was gonna say that off the top of the post, but....i just now remembered it. My comment system is handled through DISQUS. Which is pretty fuckin' cool if you ask me! If you've used it, you're familiar with it - which is good! For those of you who aren't....you can basically sign in with whatever service is available (Twitter, Facebook...etc.) - and, leave your comments that way!

Hopefully with this service, it will eliminate all the spammers and shit...and, we can actually get some really good convo's going, and really....open the place up!

Lastly: The podcast has gone through a bit of an "Overhaul" again. Nothing too drastic, don't worry about it! But, i do want to fill ya in on a few of the changes!

First, the podcast STILL revolves around Canadian and Independent music - but, now...i serve it up with a twist! I have finally added just a touch of "mainstream" to liven it up a little, and also added a bit of country music to the mix as well (Cause, seriously...where would Alberta be if it wasn't for country? lol)

Nothing else has been touched! We're still a multi-genre podcast....but, with FLAVOUR this time! So, it will be nice to see and come back to!

As for the podcast blog - well, it will be very active again once i get the design and stuff down 100%. Cause, it still looks a little messy to me, and there's still some things that i wanna add and move around. So, i'm hoping that by the end of this week - things will become active again, and tah-dah!

When that happens - and, the news starts to flow....you'll get an idea of what music has been added :)

Anyways....that's it for me! I've been at this since 12pm (So, officially 9 hours now) - so, i think my eyes need a break! I got some pages to add to the top tabs after a bit....so, yea! lol.

BE WARNED!!! The next few days will have updates out the ASS! lol. Mainly on what's been done to the site, and what's been added.

So, if you don't wanna miss updates - you can follow me on Twitter - or, you can become a fan of the podcast on facebook. The links are all over there on the right under sociable....or, however the hell i spelled it LMAO!

Ohhh....and, one of the feed things is down up on the top. If you run your mouse over where the RSS icons are (Green and blue ones) - one of them says something like "YOUR-FEED-ID-HERE" I'll have that fixed LATER!

Guess Who's BACK!?!?

noreply@blogger.com (ToxicDoom) — Sat, 25 Dec 2010 21:37:00 +0000

It's OFFICIAL!!!! I'm now back up and running 100%!!!! Let me make ya guys aware of some certain changes in my life that...doesn't really affect much. Unless you're a band, and you're sending me (Or in the process of sending me) promo packages!

I guess the BIGGEST change for me is that.....i'm out on my own now! Yes, it feels kind of weird to be on my own - not answering to anybody or anything....other than my Cats LOL. It does feel freaking good though, as some of you know the drama that i went through for almost 2 years. There's only so much one person can take before they cut the cord. And, finding this house was kind of like a Godsend...even though i'm Agnostic :)

Secondly - the podcast will be in full swing again in 2011! I do hope to make it a little more professional, so my arrival date is yet to be confirmed. Most likely, will be the first week of February! Just because i need a new freakin' headset, and i'm not cheaping out...even though i don't really have the money....i found a set, and hope to set aside some money for it when i get paid in January.

Lastly - I'm as broke as a MoFo LMAO - so, to say the podcast is on a "tight budget" is putting it lightly lol. Though, for the past 5 years - i have worked at making this free. Everything from the hosting of the blog, right down to the hosting of the audio files and Podcast feed....is done for free. I do have plans on expanding the podcast in the near future, but, as it stands right now...on a budget of $994 a month....does not go far when I now have to worry about rent (Which i pay $52 extra what they give me), Utilities, and of course, the internet/phone/TV through Telus. Not to mention a food budget.

I've never really had to worry much about things, other than paying Telus and my food. Now...i have to be on a freakin' budget! it kinda blows! lol.

In January, i WILL BE looking into getting my damn grade 12. Because, ya can't get anywhere these days without it. And, then from there...i do hope to pick up a job...so i can get off the damn system, and back into a work atmosphere. I've already overcome 1 hurdle....just...2 or 3 more to go to really jack up my spirits!

I do wanna take this time to thank ALL OF MY LISTENERS AND SUBSCRIBERS not to mention the BANDS AND ARTISTS and LABELS that are still with me, supporting me through everything that i've done up to this point! I do hope that you'll bare with me through the new year - and, hope that the podcast remains #1 for Canadian and independent music throughout the duration of it's life (Which seriously, i'm NOT gonna be ending anytime soon :)

I will be updating the contact information on the "Submit a band" page - because, certain things have changed (Like, the email address used to contact me.) Not to mention my address that you can send stuff to....which, shouldn't be on that page anyways, and that's how it'll stay. I'll let the artists and labels know personally through email on how to send promo stuff to me directly!

So, thanks again guys! And, trust me...2011 is gonna be a BIG HUGE YEAR for Toxic! :D

Where I am

noreply@blogger.com (ToxicDoom) — Wed, 06 Oct 2010 21:54:00 +0000

Most of you are probably wondering where the hell i've been at these past few weeks. Most notably, why there wasn't a podcast episode on the weekend, like i had promised there would be. Let me sum some shit up to maybe help ya gain a little perspective.

I'm in this...dark depression hole again. My schedule's been fucked up, and i'm still going on about school. I'm very open about what i'm dealing with - for me, writing about it actually helps me when i can't talk about it. I don't have many friends that i...rely on. Or, that i open up to. It's hard when people either just leave ya cause they're only out for themselves - or, they leave because they have their own shit to deal with. Both of which i've experienced. The 3rd is the worst though: people who think they have to treat ya differently or walk on eggshells because of what ya may or may not do.

I may go off in different directions with this post. It's just my thought process - and, i apologize in advance for that. My thought process is fucked up. I can go on about one thing, and then it's almost like that shit spawns something else. And, then i blab about that.

Right now, i'm confused as fuck. Add to that, nothing seems to be going in the direction i expected/wanted it to lately. I know what i want to do - but, i can't seem to find the energy anymore to do shit. It's almost like...i don't care anymore. But, in the same sense, i do.

I wanted to be the fuck out of this house before the end of the year. But, it's obvious that ain't gonna happen. I'm still waiting for fucking housing, and the last time i talked to both of them, i wasn't an "emergency case" - AKA: Still have a roof over my head. But, right now - that's still....up in the goddamn air. It sucks when you're almost 27, and still living with the parents. Sure, there are people that do it - but, i don't want to be. This house is nothing but fucking drama, and it does nothing but engulf me in it. Leading me to the depression, and not feeling like doing shit.

It sucks when you're bi-polar. I dunno if i'm getting worse, or if i'm getting better. Hell, i could be just the same - that things haven't changed since i got diagnosed at 19 with all this shit. Like everyone, i have good days, and i have bad days. Sometimes the good outweighs the bad - but, the other 60% of the time, it's the latter - the bad days outweigh the good. And, when i have my shitty days....unlike anyone else...i get really dark - really down - really depressed.

Thought today would be different. Thought today that since i actually went to sleep at a semi-decent time for me, that i would wake up in a good mood. Well, that's how it started.

DRAMA BEGINS HERE!!!!

Was having my wake up coffee, and smoke - when Kelly (My step-mom) had called me into the office - telling me that dad walked in the door at noon today, and that his job had called about an hour after that, and that it went to voicemail. She wanted to hear the message.

So, i played the message for her - come to find out that dad not only didn't show up today - but, that he didn't show up yesterday. oO

That's fucked up - because, he was gone the entire 11 and a half hours that he was "at work" - walked in the door sometime after 6pm lastnight.

That's not what put me in the bad mood. It made me contemplate shit, yes. Cause, those "What if's" entered my head. The one's that question if i'm gonna have a fucking roof for much longer, and if not, where the FUCK do i go from here? Housing said last month that it could take up to 2 years for me to find a house. I don't have that kinda fucking time! I don't wanna be out on the street.

This is why i've been putting schooling on hold. Cause, since i can't do it from a school setting - the doctor's won't let me, and the intake workers at the college - as soon as they ask me what's wrong with me, and why i'm not working - i told them. And, they won't let me in without a doctor's not. As they say "We don't want to accept you, and then 2 months in or something find out that you can't handle the workload."

So, since i can't do it from school - for the past year, i've been looking into ways from doing it from home. I've found a couple of Canadian home school courses that look really good, but ICS has been the top one. It's a little under $1000 to finish my grade 12, and get the full fledged diploma, and not just the GED.

Trust me, i would love nothing better than to get off government help. I've never wanted to be that guy who's on it for his entire fuck life. Probably why i'm kinda glad that AISH didn't go through both times i've applied. I don't wanna be the guy who's 30 or 40 and still living with the parents. And, i most certainly do NOT want to be like my brother.

Sure, he has a girlfriend, and yes, he works. But, what the fuck does he have to show for it? NOTHING! He gets in debt with people - either owing money to that he borrows - or, his habit. Not to mention the dog he has to take care of, and trying to manage to take care of him and the GF.

Right now, they're bouncing around from house to house. Basically, working on the houses that he has been doing - and, once he's done with 1, they move on to the next. And, the cycle continues.

I've always had dreams of doing something with my life. Big or small. I don't wanna be that failure. And, people think i'm trying to make fucking excuses on why i'm not doing something. It's not that i'm trying to hold myself back - it's everything that engulf's itself around me that holds me back.

That's why i wanted to be the fuck outta here. And, trust me, i've not only looked into housing, but also living with a few people. But, neither have panned out. Cause, being stuck in a house with a Dad who's a drunk - who doesn't go to work - even knowing that we could lose this house if they miss 1 fucking payment....isn't enough.

Listen, i make $770 a month. And, when Grandma was around - i would've been able to file a rent report. Even after she had died, i could've. But, what do i get told from dad and Kelly? "No. Fuck that! If we have to file a rent report, that's just income we have to report on the taxes, and more money we have to pay out." I could've easily been paying $300 a month - the max they'll give me for room and board. But, dad doesn't wanna file that rent report because of the fact that he already owes over $5,000 in back taxes and shit.

So, instead of that - they basically said "Well, get phone, internet and TV - since we can't get it under our name - and, that'll be your rent." I had and still have no problem with that - because, i use all of them. Well, i use my cell phone more now - the only reason i have the home phone right now is because the parents use it - and, it's better than them using my cell phone to make calls, and giving everyone my damn cell #. I made that fucking mistake awhile ago.

But, yea. I'm not trying to make excuses on why i'm not doing shit. But, i know what i can and can't handle. And, yes...i'm in that place of knowing that i CAN Handle school. But, who's to fucking say that when i start that in January....that we don't lose this damn house in the process? What the fuck am i supposed to do then? Cause, the schooling would be done online....and, if i don't have access to a computer, i can basically kiss that the fuck goodbye. $1000 burnt for no fucking reason.

The only thing that i can't handle is the drama that engulfs me in this house - either by them involving me....or, that i fucking hear. Music can only cover up so much - ya still hear the damn yelling.

Not to mention that today - dad woke up before i went down there and he listened to the message that his work had left. His bi-polar shit is cutting in big time. He was basically yelling at..nothing. Thinking that someone was down there, and started throwing shit around calling...whatever he was yelling at....a cocksucker, a prick - and, if he wanted to have a serious fucking talk, blah blah blah.

Which led to the depression tonight. Why? Cause, the realization kicked in again. The realization that always kicks in when he does this shit. That the booze is finishing his life off. That he's on his last leg. And, the imaginary things he "thinks" are real...is basically the booze fucking with his brain. And, when it does that....it's never good.

I used to drink. I have NEVER imagined shit that wasn't there. I didn't see or hear voices. I didn't talk to anything that wasn't there. I also never fought with something i thought was there. I never had hallucinations - or, whatever the fuck else ya wanna call it.

And, him and i are not that different. We deal with the same shit. Though, i'm one step below him in bi-polar crap. I'm "Mild/moderate" - he was diagnosed as fucking severe, and a little bit of schizophrenia - with depression to boot.

Me on the other hand? Depression, Severe Anxiety, Social Anxiety Disorder, Mild/Moderate Bi-polar disorder and Sleep Apnea.

Maybe he's not near death. Maybe it's just the schizophrenia in him. But, i have a tendency to think the worst.

Which leads me back to my whole feeling of complete and utter shit. I'm back to where i started not only last year when i self-admitted. But, back to where i was when i first got diagnosed 8 years ago. I don't wanna self-admit again...but, realizing that it might come to that again...fucking blows.

I don't know when i'll be in the mood to do the podcast again. I don't like putting it on hold. But, certain things right now trump other things. And, i don't wanna give an answer - only to have to back out again because of the depression and not wanting to do fuck all but sleep.

Update!

noreply@blogger.com (ToxicDoom) — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 20:24:00 +0000

So, i tried to create a 24/7 radio stream. But, due to confusions - and, me not working with that crap for well over 6 years now....i gave up! lol.

Not really a lot to talk about right now. I'm still recovering from the dentist. I'm on my last day of Amoxil - thank God! And, also recovering from a hangover. Trust me, it was worse yesterday, and the coffee wasn't helping!

I can't remember if i let ya guys know when the podcast will be back. Why can't I remember that? lol. Well, if i didn't - or, i did, i have decided that October 1 will be the Official comeback. I feel that's a better date, as i will have my bigger hard-drive, as i couldn't afford it this month. And, i'll also have everything back and working!

Not just that, but some new releases are in the works - and, if i come back near the end of September, we'll miss one week of new releases!

So, October 1 will be the comeback - and, i'll have a ton of new music - from Combichrist, The Birthday Massacre....and, a ton more punk that i was able to get back last week! :D

With all that said....i dunno what else to say. iTunes 10 launched yesterday with their social music thing called Ping! It's supposed to be a "MySpace Killer" - but, i played with it lastnight....and, not nearly enough of my friends are using it. And, the features that Apple want to associate with it - won't be put in until a later date. So, that being said....there are just a few artists right now (Like Lady GaGa, U2 and Linkin Park) that I've noticed using it.

Until all artists are using it, and it's fully customizable - i don't sense many people will be jumping on the Ping bandwagon.

Let's hope it's soon though! And, i would really love it if Podcasters were able to use the service too - and, if they do give podcasters something to toy with in there, i wonder what they'd include...and, if it would be worth it. Seriously....that could also be a twitter killer! :D lol

Ah shit, he's STILL alive...%#$%!!!

noreply@blogger.com (ToxicDoom) — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 03:21:00 +0000

So much to talk about, so little time! I've gotta get to bed early, cause i'm literally littered in appointments tomorrow. Well....1 doesn't classify as "littered", i suppose lol. I also have to do a walk-in with either my family doctor - or, the clinic tomorrow. It's just, this past 2 weeks, i've been hit - and, i've been hit hard.

Ya know that old saying "Things happen in 3's"? Well....Get this!

First - about 2 weeks ago....there was some kinda weird ass flu bug going around this city. Personally, i think somebody went on a cruise, forgot to wipe...and, then got off the boat and welcomed everyone. And, i wasn't the only one in this house to get it. That weekend, dad came home from his "weekend trip" (lol....that's subtle enough, isn't it?) - and, he came home to Kelly and I sick...and, he picked something up too!

I guess the good thing here would be....that we were all sick at the same bloody time.

I'm Just now done with it - all that's left is a little bit of sinus crap...and, some ooey-gooey phlegm that's like....thicker than owl snot hahaha.

That's phase 1. The 2nd thing to happen to me.....Tooth rot!!! Always a joy to have! And, ya know....i used to swear by Sensodyne....not anymore! In fact, i think it actually makes cavities. It doesn't help that for almost 2 years, i drank every day. Yea, i don't make it publicly known all the time that in 2006 through to early 2008, i went down a deep, dark road. I won't go into all the boring details. Cause, that's not what this podcast is about!

But - yea, i have a dentist appointment tomorrow....and, instead of getting the needle in the gum....i'm gonna ask for anesthesia. Hopefully, with the meds i'm on - they can do it. Cause, i don't need to be swollen for 2 hours, trying to talk to another doctor.

That's part 2. Get ready for the 3rd thing....the Tri-Fecta if you will :D

Woke up yesterday - and, i had a zit...or another freakin' cyst under my right arm - underneath the armpit. Not only that - but, i also woke up with one on my neck. Not as big...but, still hurts, and is giving me a little bit of a headache. And...to sleep....don't even ask! This is getting ridiculous!

I either have the worst fucking luck.....or, God's getting ready to strike me down lol.

Let's get into the GOOD NEWS! cause, ironically, there is some. I just got back from another hard-drive failure. I lost track at how many times this is now. Mind ya, this was my doing this time...because i thought i could do the podcast in the comfort of Ubuntu. And, as much as i wanted to....the LTS just isn't quite all there yet. Problem after problem with repositories, certain software not working...the whole 9 yards.

So, when i came back into the Windows 7 world - i had a flash of genius. And, i pose this as a question to all of you.

How would you guys like to see a live, 24/7 Radio stream? As well as the podcast - but, included LIVE in the radio show, and archived into the feed?

I found a free stream host - and, they look really promising. If i get positive feedback, i will run with the idea, and test it out in the coming weeks with SAM3 and the ShoutCast streamer :D

On other news!

New music is coming in 3 weeks! From The Birthday Massacre with Pins and Needles. Also, The LoveCrave with Soul Saliva. The LoveCrave is awesome if ya love TBM or Lacuna Coil. They're an Italian female-fronted Gothic/Metal band - and, they have produced 2 albums with this new one. And, on the new CD, they cover Michael Jackson's "Thriller" ....omg! I have never heard it sound better than from the King of Pop himself - but, it's heavier and amazing!

Also, Elise Estrada has a new single out right now called "You're So Hollywood" which unfortunately, i don't have at this time. I haven't even heard the song...it makes me cry! :(

Not to leave the other Estrada out - Emmalyn released a song called "Get Down" Which i was able to get my hands on.

For those of you who don't know, Emmalyn is the younger sister of Elise. And, they both are really talented...and, they're gonna match each other lyrically, vocally, and talent wise! They're both extremely talented (Not to mention just mind numbingly Gorgeous!) And, if i have to predict....Emmalyn will be releasing her CD along with Elise's Sophomore release!

When i know more, you'll know more!

Also, before i go - Toxic TuneZ Will be back the 3rd week of September! It's been a hectic summer here for me - minus the concert scene. Just haven't had the time, or the money....and, if i do have the money, i'm either sick - or recovering from computer failure's!

I Soooo need to get my Mac Pro!!!

Noblesse Oblige "The Great Electrifier/Beck And Call" July 27 Digital Only Single

noreply@blogger.com (ToxicDoom) — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 21:23:00 +0000

As a preview for the upcoming full length "Malady," we are pleased to announce a digital only single for the songs "The Great Electrifier" and "Beck And Call."

Click here to PRE-ORDER and it will ship to you when it is released on August 10, 2010.

About Noblesse Oblige:

Ex-London, now Berlin based duo Noblesse Oblige was formed in early 2004 by German songwriter/producer Sebastian Lee Philipp and French performer-cum-songwriter/chanteuse Valerie Renay after meeting at a masked ball in Hoxton during which Valerie was performing a live art show.

Their debut album Privilege Entails Responsibility (the English translation of the band name) was released in the U.K. in 2006. Its eclectic mix of disco punk, sixties French chanson and raw acoustic folklore combined with lyrical wit and dark humor proved an appealing combination among the London crowds. Its first single releases Bitch and Daddy (Don't touch me there) quickly became indie club regulars throughout Europe.

Having re-located to Berlin in autumn 2006, Noblesse Oblige started working on its follow-up album In Exile, released in autumn 2008 on RepoRecords. Written and recorded in the band's own Neukölln music studio, the album is a journey through its writers' diverse musical tastes and styles, taking influences from gothic horror movies, African tribal tunes and contemporary pop music. The songs are accompanied by tri-lingual lyrics that range from child-like nursery rhymes, over the bands ever present obsession with sex and death, to more sensual and dreamlike tales of unfound love and loneliness. Having toured and performed with artists including Dresden Dolls, Vive La Fete and Patti Smith among others, Noblesse Oblige gained a notorious reputation for their wild and spectacular live shows. Taking turns in playing guitar, samplers, piano, keyboards and drums or melodica, Sebastian and Valerie blend edgy electronics with a raw live sound that captures the sleazy, ambiguous tension within the duos sensual performance.

From hipster nightclubs in Paris to S&M dungeons in Rome, back to warehouse raves and art galleries of East London, Noblesse Oblige have toured most of Europe and - since their 2007 tour of Brazil - beyond back and forth over the past 3 years, resulting in a steadily growing loyal fan base. Closely linked to the art world through their regular appearances at international galleries and art institutes as well as Valerie's own background in theatre and live art performance, Noblesse Oblige count Turner prize winner Wolfgang Tillmans, Porn legend Rocco Siffredi and contemporary composer Michael Nyman among their fans, whilst the band's more danceable music has been supported by key club DJs such as Mark Moore (S'Express), Erol Alkan and Joost van Bellen.

Remaining members of Leigh Bowery's cult 80s band Minty asked Noblesse Oblige to re-record its underground hit Useless Man using Bowery's original vocal takes, which was included on the limited edition of Privilege Entails Responsibility's second single release Quel Genre de Garcon / Lil' Dirty. Noblesse Oblige songs have been remixed by artists including Motor (Novamute), Mona Mur, En Esch (ex-KMFDM) and Musiccargo (Amontillado Music), and their music has been used in several film productions and music compilations as well as international catwalk shows. Their innovative artwork and photography is regularly seen in galleries and printed media, such as the cover of Lydia Lunch's collection of short stories.

For hip underground director Edwin Brienen's L'amour toujours, Sebastian and Valerie were asked to star alongside Austrian cult actor Erwin Leder (Das Boot). N.O. also regularly appears as DJs in the club scenes of Berlin, London and Paris.
Between 2005 and 2007 their own club night Caligula was a popular event in London and received positive press attention. It was regularly voted Critic's choice in London's Time Out magazine, following a range of successful events that introduced an impressive range of Live acts including Motor (Novamute), Pam Hogg, Cursor Miner (Lo Recordings), Comanechi and Tetine (Souljazz) to name a few.

Besides her work as half of Noblesse Oblige, Valerie is a successful theatre and performance artist who trained with Philippe Gaullier in London and has directed several theatre shows as well as art festival appearances around the world. Recently she has re-emerged in the Berlin art and performance scene as her alter ego Femme Façade.

Sebastian is a music producer with his own Berlin recording studio in which he has most recently worked with The Hidden Cameras and Birol Ünel among others.
For 2010, Metropolis Records proudly welcomes Noblesse Oblige with the release its third album Malady, an occult concept album that cites the visual mysticism of Kenneth Anger, Aleister Crowley's storytelling, and the morbid melancholy of Christina Rossetti's poetry. The album was initiated by the bands' involvement in Robert Pacitti's 2009 London Spill Festival Tarot Deck project, for which Noblesse Oblige (in collaboration with photographer Manuel Vason) were asked to visualize their own interpretation of The Lovers Major Arcana card. Malady blends world music sounds, pop kitsch and new wave theatricality to create a unique musical landscape

Orange Sector to release "Krieg & Frieden" July 13

noreply@blogger.com (ToxicDoom) — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 21:13:00 +0000

Formed in 1992, Orange Sector greatly impacted the EBM and industrial scenes with their hard hitting dance songs. Signing with Infacted Recordings (Europe) and Metropolis Records (North America), the band is poised to release their 8th album, Krieg & Frieden. Featuring 10 tracks and two remixes, the album represents a return to their roots with its aggressive synths, kinetic hooks, and unrelenting bass-lines. True to form, Orange Sector has once again raised the bar for others to reach.

About Orange Sector:

In 1992 Martin Bodewell and Lars Felker met in a Club called "Index" and discovered that they had the same interests in music. Martin and Lars each had their own musical endeavors at the time, but after only one meeting, Orange Sector was born. The legendary band DAF was a big influence on the dominant sound of Orange Sector. The name was a result of the band simply playing with various words. The Orange Sector was the name of the environment on stage. This is the place where everyone would meet, forget their problems, and have fun. The band rented a studio to produce their demo-tape "The War Comes Home." In the early years this name and lyrics represented the problems with society. The album art showed an American farmer who buried Agent Orange barrels in the ground. Lars and Martin only sent the demo to one record label, the legendary 90's EBM juggernaut Zoth Ommog. Label mastermind Talla 2XLC gave it to the producer Andre Schmechta (of "X Marks The Pedwalk") and said "I like, make it!" The dream came true. It did not take long for "Orange Sector" to get signed to their favorite label.

1993 saw huge milestones for the band: the first record "Faith" was recorded at the T.G.I.F. Studios, The song "Kalt wie Stahl" was a huge hit on the club dance floors. The song landed in the Frankfurt Techno Club charts at position #4. Orange Sector embarked on its first major tour with the Swedish band S.P.O.C.K.. The band became known for putting on a great live show. Orange Sector's "body show" was full of energy, gaining many fans, and lead to the founding of the Orange Sector Fan-Base "Bodysmashing".

During the Faith-Tour the band worked on new material for their next release. In 1994 the band released the album Flashback, which is considered their greatest album to date, and still hailed as a classic in the EBM genre. With the songs "Götter" and "Für immer", Orange Sector was ruling the dance floors. Not long after, the band released an EP of cover songs and original material, putting its own distinctive spin on classic songs like "Kids in America" (Kim Wilde), "Polizisten" (Extrabreit), and "I Was Made For Loving You" (Kiss).

Both personal and professional reasons caused Lars to leave the band, though he and Martin still remained in contact. Martin decided to carry on with the project, and after a long break released the record Love it. The new songs were much softer and more melodic. The old fans did not accept the new sound. In 1998 Martin rejoined Zoth Ommog with two more releases, Scars of Love and Masquerade. After a while, Martin lost his motivation and decided to leave the music scene.

In 2004 EBM was reanimated. The classic EBM sound was taking back the club scene once again. Torben Schmidt, label owner of "Infacted-Recordings," and the mastermind behind "Lights of Euphoria" played the old Orange Sector songs during his work as a DJ. He decided to contact Lars with a plan to release a compilation through the history of Orange Sector. Lars convinced Martin to have the album released. Martin said yes, and the band in the original line-up was together again. The Compilation Here We Are [BackAgain] was released in March 2005. A reinvigorated Orange Sector followed the release with an all new album in 2006, their first in over 12 years. Bassprodukt took Lars and Martin back to their roots: Hard, driving old school EBM.

Now, for 2010, the electro legends join Metropolis Records to release their 8th album, Krieg & Frieden. Featuring 10 tracks and two remixes; the album represents a return to their roots with its aggressive synths, kinetic hooks, and unrelenting bass-lines. True to form, Orange Sector has once again raised the bar for others to reach. This is what true EBM is all about.

Oh…. Canada! Episode 203 is NOW LIVE!!!

noreply@blogger.com (ToxicDoom) — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 05:35:00 +0000

This was SUPPOSED to Air a few hours ago, but thanks to the hard drive failure awhile back and, me having to get everything back...mixed with hosting changing how they're doing things...made for an interesting night to say the least! However - nothing changed about the show! It's Can-EH-dian all the way!

And, if my Mutt ways don't shine through here....lol.

Seriously, the music is off the wall tonight! Things you normally don't hear on the podcast - mixed with some stuff that ya do - it was fun to play around with stuff i normally don't get a chance to play, and i'm thinking about hosting shows now that go with my mood. So, some things will be permanent fixtures!

Some news about the Lilith Fair Cancellation dates have been included (Psst: You can also check the Facebook fan page for the link to the article. Brings it to 12 as of July 1.

Lastly - this is a little bit longer than some of you are used to. Where i normally only do a 2 hour show at max...this ran about 45 minutes longer. Which, isn't a bad thing!

Be warned: Some of this music is REALLY off the wall! Amanda Marshall, Sarah McLachlan, Feist, Stars..among many others have been included. Even a little bit of a surprise near the end of the show!

Will i give it away? I think not!

You can tune in with the Listen Now button up top or, hopefully the player below will work! lmao.

Music to blame for murders? NO!

noreply@blogger.com (ToxicDoom) — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 00:53:00 +0000

If you can't see the video - Click the link below!

Thanks to my friend, Janelle - i was able to find this video! Insane Clown Posse. They're interviewed on nightline - and, bring into question the "mental capacity" of the Juggalos.

Insane Clown Posse on Nightline March 9th 2010

These are the same people that bring into question the music industry as a whole. Comedians really word it best. Denis Leary for example:

"Heavy Metal bands on trial because kids commit suicide? What's that about? Judas Priest on trial because "my kid bought the record, and listened to the lyrics, ....." Well that's great! That sets a legal precedent. Does that mean I can sue Dan Folgerburg for making me into a pussy in the mid-70's. Is that possible, huh? Huh?! "Your honor, between him and James Taylor, I didn't get a blow job 'till I was 27 years old. I was in Colorado wearing hiking boots eating granola. I want some fucking money right now!"

-Denis Leary, "More Drugs" (from "No Cure For Cancer", 1990)

Hell, Chris Rock also said it - not quoted, cause i can't remember it off hand. But, it went something like....

"Rapper says Gun: Congressional Hearing"

Music CANNOT and SHOULD NOT be held responsible for the shit that these people do!!!

My question: Where the FUCK are the parents?

That's why this shit happens. It's not the fucking music! God almighty! These are the kids that are in Desperate need of medical attention. They're going through issues, and i personally believe that it's their way of reaching out. As twisted as it sounds.

Fuck - if ya wanna blame music, shouldn't we be pointing the fingers at the RIAA??? They're the ones that put the music out. Fuck - i figure that if the RIAA wants to sue people for downloading music....their asses should be sued for putting out bands like Marilyn Manson, Judas Priest...Eminem, 50 cent....etc...you get the drift.

Now, let me make myself clear: I DO NOT have ANY issues with any of these bands or artists! Music is a self-expression, a mean to express your thoughts - regardless of how "Fucked up" they are.

You wanna blame someone? Ok...here it is!
It's you fucking parents! If you took the fucking time to notice the "Signs" of depression - like my parents did when they got me help - we wouldn't have some of these school shootings, or murders. Don't put your fucking failure on the music industry as a whole. It's YOUR fault!

All you parents who are using your kids as "Trophies" - and, pushing them to be better and smarter than they are....and, you're only proud of them if they "Win" or, they do good....

I'll leave you with the words of George Carlin. Maybe these "Proud Parents" will take something from this shit!

"...Here's another pack of low-grade morons who oughta be locked into portable toilets, and set on fire. These people with bumper stickers that say 'we are the proud parents of an honor student at the franlin school' Ya know? Or the 'Midvale academy' - or, whatever other innocent sounding name has been assigned to the indoctrination center to be stripped of his individuality, and turned into an obedient soul , dead conformist member of the American Consumer Culture."

"Proud Parents?!? What kind of empty people need to validate themselves through the achievements of their children? How would you like to live with a couple of these 'misfits'?"

"How's that science fair project coming along, Justin?"
"Fuck you dad! You simple-minded Prick! Mind your own business and pass the damn cheerios!"

"Here's a bumper sticker i'd like to see! 'We are the proud parents of a child who's self-esteem is sufficient, that he doesn't need us promoting his minor scholastic achievements on the back of our car!' Orrr...'We are the proud parents of a child who has resisted his teachers attempts to break his spirit, and bend him to the will of his corporate masters.'
