Chilling to "The Morning", bipolar weather, and shoegazing (quite literally) as we await next Tuesday for a physical copy of Jay-Z and Kanye's brainchild, Watch The Throne. (It's out digitally on iTunes).

A quick, simple skintone base colour

Because I feel full of random information right now, and had to share with y'all this shortcut to that peachy hue that otherwise takes me forever to mix. I like my colours, which is why I collect 2oz. bottles of inexpensive acrylic paints, okay? That, and I don't really know what to do with myself in art stores, but browse paints and ask silly questions about foam board.

A human experience, through audio.

Despite its title, the Drop covers all genres, including EDM. It focussed primarily on the local Toronto scene until 2013, after which most of my written music coverage shifted to The B-Side, a publication friends and I founded at UC Berkeley. During that time, this page has held more poetry and personal musings, but as of 2017, I'm back to covering what I did best here -- new and unique sounds.
