Thanksgiving !

For all those Canadians reading my blog, I wish you all a very happy Thanksgiving !  Make sure you take a bit of time to reflect on what you are most thankful for :)

I thought for this blog post I would share some of the music I am most thankful for:
PODCASTS
Definition : "a series of digital media files that are released episodically" - Wikipedia
Why I love house music podcasts ? Most are easy to listen to with tracks being mixed into flowing sets & they are FREE ! Also, track listings are usually included so if you like a particular song or all of them, you can find them again. Just beware of the podcasts where the host talks too much = very annoying & distracting.  If you are an iTunes fan, check out their podcast sections; there are thousands to choose from!

Top 10 podcasts  I recommend (in alphabetical order) :
  1. Cityscape Sessions is a monthly mix series featuring guest DJs & the best tech-house and techno from around the world. Brought to you by Wide Angle Recordings & host Blake Sutherland http://www.wideanglerecordings.com/cityscape/podcast.rss

* Please note I did not provide the descriptive information of these podcasts, it was copied from iTunes.

Party Tip: when you subscribe to these podcasts on iTunes, they automatically download as soon as a new one is available. If you dont like the podcasts, you simply unsubscribe & delete, or you can also just download by the episode.  Tons of options based your preferences.

What are your favorite podcasts?

Nowadays, there are websites that can turn YouTube clips into MP3 files, which makes finding & listening to your fav music even easier.  Some of my fav tracks on Youtube include :

Deadmau5 - Raise Your Weapon
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhQ7lajxsIw
* Listen to the whole track ! If you have never heard it, it will catch you off guard at around the 5 minute mark. I love everything about this track !!!
* If you are a dubstep & Deadmau5 fan, check out his new track "One Trick Pony" on Youtube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2pi21t_Rmw Im not really a fan but you may like it ...

Nic Fanciulli Remix - Two Dots
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huAd3EZszWI
* Yes, I realize this is an older track from the beginning of the year but I still love it...so simple, and yet it says so much
Lyrics: "two dots joined by a line, they reached, detached by a crime, how [mis/ir/dis/ir] responsible when the line is stretched, how [mis/ir/dis/ir] responsible when it becomes a triangle"

Timo Garci ft Amber Jolene - Lady Luck (City Lights)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SD9nqmxYEc
* Again, not the newest but wow!!

Well, there you have it - some of my favorite music that I am thankful for !
