The Fat Jew from Team Facelift interviews The Situation from Jersey Shore. There’s not much else i can say about this that wouldn’t be accomplished by watching the Youtube.

Here’s the second annual “Splendid Moments” mix from our good buddy Panda Jones. Here’s what he had to say about it:

I thoroughly enjoyed the first Splendid Moments mix and it went wood on the internet to boot, so I made another: another year in California, another farm in the mountains, another hazy, gazy, lazy mix of sensitive whiteboy daydream music. This year I was even less focused on current releases as a result of an increasingly hippie lifestyle and my reliance on Pitchfork’s Best New Music picks is embarassingly evident but I’m happy to report that the ends in this case justify the means. There really are some splendid moments, in the songs themselves which I obviously can’t claim credit for, and also in the transitions. It flows, baby. There’s also a misstep or two, but 2009 was a wabi sabi sort of year so roll with it.

Like SM2008, the mix skews toward the easy listening end of the spectrum. There’s nary a club banger in sight, probably owing to the fact that I didn’t set foot in a club all year. I did, however, play a party in the barn depicted on the “cover.”

Here’s a mix from our homeboy A-Mac in Calgary. Can’t help but think a deranged YouTube session we had with Caps N Jones inspired the title…

But apparently there’s gonna be a new one up in it’s place. Read this article from The Torontoist because they actually know whats going on.

Big Fat Burrito is moving into Lee’s Palace, and the building’s iconic painted façade, featuring monsters of every colour and form stretching across the length of the building’s first storey and reaching up to its second, has been quietly moved out.

This morning, construction workers began to break apart the wall—painted by artist Runt twenty-something years ago—piece by piece, the result of a deal struck in June between Big Fat Burrito and Lee’s that will see the take-out restaurant lease out space in the music venue and the entrance to Lee’s moved to the building’s side. Standing beside a few pieces of the mural cut out and saved for Runt (most of the rest of it landed in a dumpster around back), Big Fat Burrito owner Mike Shepherd explained that his store will open in two weeks’ time, the new second location for a store whose flagship is in Kensington Market.

Rather than stucco and concrete and mesh, Shepherd said, the building’s new façade will be metal, and it’s that new façade that’s being turned over as a new canvas to none other than Runt, whose work will fill the wall anew by spring.

Calls to Lee’s Palace this afternoon were not immediately returned, but according to Shepherd, the rest of Lee’s will continue to function just as it does now, and, when it opens, Big Fat Burrito will be selling concert tickets, too.
