RATM 20th Anniversary Box Set

As I post this, I am listening to Killing In The Name. The song & album are still as powerful as they were 20 years ago. Zach's lyrics over Tom, Tim & Brad's pounding melodies can turn the most right wing of people into an activist; even if its only for 3 minutes..

Rage Against The Machine celebrates the 20th anniversary of their debut album with a box set. Often cited to be one of the greatest and most influential rock albums of all time, this 20th Anniversary collection includes their self-titled record w/3 bonus tracks, B-sides, their original demo tape and two DVDs of tour footage, videos, and more.

Seeing these guys live is at the top of many of my wish lists...

Fuck you; I won't do what you tell me..

Osheaga Block Party

This Saturday, Osheaga brings art back to the streets with the Osheaga Block Party

For the first time in its history, Osheaga developed a cultural project in the spirit of New York City’s block parties, the community gatherings that were born in the 70’s and 80’s in districts such as Brooklyn, Queens and Harlem.

In collaboration with the Brooklyn duo, NYC SKEWVILLE, the Osheaga Block Party will temporarily transform a Montreal neighborhood – Griffintown, by the Lachine Canal – into an imaginary Arts City.

In keeping with OSHEAGA’s green initiative, the Skewville twins recycle and reuse debris and unwanted and forgotten objects to craft small contemporary art gems accessible to the masses.

For the first time in Montreal, Skewville will take the Lachine Canal by fire with their artistic installations, where DJs will be invited to provide a soundtrack for the colors of our city.

Food trucks LA MANGEOIRE and GRUMMAN 78 will represent our community’s various flavors. Inspired by the culture of urban artists of all kinds, this event seeks to be an homage to Montreal’s glorious summer season.


Live art will be provided by a Brooklyn duo, the Skewville Twins, who made a name for themselves by making wooden copies of Converse sneakers and throwing them up on phone lines around NYC. Local visual artists En Masse, Labrona & Cie, DHS, K6A and La Paria will also take part in custom-made exhibitions.
