Amazing, and juno nominated!

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

TORONTO, June 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.
