Trouble Again (Droids Theme Song) by MEGASHAUN

From his website...

This is a cover of the theme song to the cartoon, Droids. According to Wikipedia, that Internet resource of knowledge that is never wrong*, the song was originally performed by Stewart Copeland of the Police and written by Copeland and Derek Holt.

I do not own the rights to the song, but hey, it's a cover!

I find this song a little hard to sing without using my "growly" voice so instead I opted to attempt some form of harmonizing.

I recorded this entirely on August 15, 2011 using my netbook, Reaper, a Korg Monotribe, Korg Kaoss Pad Quad, Korg Kronos Music Workstation, and a Samson Meteor Mic for the vocals. My band, Cobra, does a cover of this song in our live show whenever our guitarist breaks a string.

Toronto Port Authority Announces First Ever Sail-In Cinema Event

TORONTOJune 27, 2011 /CNW/ - The Toronto Port Authority (TPA), which is celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2011, announced that it is holding North America's first ever floating movie event, Sail-In Cinema.  It will take place from August 18 to 20 in Toronto's  Harbour at Sugar Beach.
"The Toronto Port Authority has played a big part at the city's waterfront and waterways for over 100 years," says Geoffrey Wilson President and CEO "We wanted to create an experience that would give something back to the community and allow us to create a closer connection with the people who enjoy it."
The free event will feature a 28 foot two-sided screen so that moviegoers can enjoy water-themed movies in boats or on the mainland.
Movies will start after dusk, at approximately 9pm on each of the three nights.
The TPA is asking the public to recommend movies they'd like to see at the event until July 22. Requests can be sent through Facebook (www.facebook.com/theTPA) or via email to cinema@torontoport.com.
In late July, the TPA will announce movie titles and select one winning entry from these submissions. The winner will receive two airline tickets to anywhere in North America, courtesy of Air Canada.  Details about ticketing information will also be available in late July.
The Toronto Port Authority is presenting Sail-In Cinema with the support of its lead partner and waterfront neighbour Redpath Sugar, and media sponsor Q107. Other supporters include Toronto Star, Pier 27 by Cityzen Development and Fernbrook Homes, and creative and media innovation firm, Birthplace Inc.


I always wished I had a boat, like A big ass one I can live on... and watch movies!
I heard the rumor that the first flick will be "Finding Nemo" but I can think of a few other water themed movies I much rather watch  JAWS,  The Abyss, and the Poseidon adventure.
I think it would be fitting for Jaws because the movie just had its 36 year anniversary, one of my top 3 movies of all time!!
I am also a big fan of the drive in, so there is a good chance I may be at sugar beach... but sadly on land, unless I win the lotto.

Did you know...

WTF!!
In 1965 Col. Sanders moved to Mississauga to oversee his Canadian operations.

Thank You - Tyra From Saigon (Released June 2011)


From her blog...

Dedicated to my mom, my dad, my sister, Auntie Jackie, other family, loves, friends, teachers, supporters, nurses, counselors, strangers that smiled at me.. every nice person I’ve encountered.

Love you all.

I was linked in her facebook post, tee hee!!

Tyra is amazing, a very kind and gentle soul but will murder you on the turntables.
I am hoping to work with her down the road in getting some of her music into independant movies along with Rattailfilms.

Oh and Thank you Tyra.
Burl-city reprezent!!!

More news on the clothing line...

Starting a biz is costly, and when you want to put a product into the market place depending on the situation it can be time consuming and burn holes in the wallet.
I paid off a crap load of debit in the past year, yet my girlfriend is co-owner of film company and that has put a big financial strain on both of us. I cannot justify dropping $300 on say 2000 shirt tags, and then say $1000 bucks on 500 shirts knowing I got bills, groceries, and all that shit.
Anyways... enough of the dumb shit...
My brother saw on my facebook I am planning on moving the launch date to late winter/early spring and was not impressed.  I had to explain to him, Vince and I are busy and pre-occupied with work, side projects and such. So we talked and he is interested to jump on board to do 3 things...
One being to help me with some financial ease, we plan to split the cost to make things more easy for us.
Also Craig is A very good artist, he has his own unique style that has won him contests and has done some commissioned work for people. So good chance we will see some of his designs on clothing.
Also he brings a lot of connections with people one of these connections owns a state of the art print shop, more on that down the road. 
Also he is interested in bringing a very talented tattoo artist on board...
Not dropping names, or stores... but check his work below!!

The thing I like about having blood opposed to a friend dealing with money is we do not hold back or beat around the bush. Plus we were raised not to screw each other over... plus our Mother would kick our asses if we did.
This literally fell into my lap this afternoon...
Welcome aboard ...

I would say this guy has some sick talent...
