Snooze Button

Get ready to go on an adventure. Don’t worry, you won’t even have to get up – wicked right? –

In this wicked show? movie? clip? episode? porno? (you do see me change in front of you so…) we’ll just call it a movie.

The character, Joey, is late for school. Or so he thinks. His conscience (narrator) makes fun of him and takes advantage of his lack of responsibility. Joey is in a race against time to get to school. However, there’s a surprise waiting for him when he’s about to leave the house.

Enjoy!

My legs are on FLEEK

Summer 2014: Festivals, DJs, Best Friends, and Memories To Last a Lifetime

For those who know me, I’m a die-hard fan of everything electronic dance music. ‘Eat, Sleep, Rave, Repeat’ is pretty much my life motto. So what I wanted to do was share my best summer so far in picture form. Its only fitting since this weather sucks and I’m dying for festival season to return once again.

IMG_2083

We begin first off with celebrating my 19th birthday over at my new favourite club besides Guv (#RIP *sadface*), The Hoxton. The crew and I went to check out a DJ we’ve been dying to see for a long time, Julian Jordan. Ironically he’s our age as well and to see him live was really a treat. Being right up front and centre in the first row (as seen below) to experience the madness happen while dancing my ass off will be a memory I’ll never forget.

IMG_2086

Move forward just a couple weeks later to Canada Day long weekend. The biggest dance music festival in all of Canada is upon us, and the crew is back in full force for Digital Dreams. Two days of great music, partying, and more memories. My favourite moment of that entire weekend had to have been Dash Berlin‘s epic set. Words can not even begin to describe what I felt for those 90 minutes. It was magical, amazing, and one hell of an emotional rollercoaster. Especially when the downpour of heavy rain came down upon us all, we still danced and went even harder. To experience that moment of euphoria was truly a blessing because I may never get a similar moment like that ever.

IMG_2143

And I just have to share this next picture of the MASSIVE and epic mainstage from Digital Dreams. You had to see this in person to understand its sheer size. Its the biggest outdoor stage in Canada, and it looked absolutely amazing. Just look at it and the 80,000+ people in awe of it raving together as one.

IMG_2124

Fast forward to the next holiday long weekend, all the way in the beginning of August. And of course, there’s another festival for that. We set our sights on Veld Music Festival over at Downsview Park. It was yet another weekend of madness, one which ended in us getting superbly hammered, partying nonstop for 48 hours straight (literally), and in me needing a new phone thanks to the rain damaging it entirely. This is just one of very few photos I was able to recover, probably the best one in all honesty.

IMG_2518

Of course, we had to have this summer go out with one last bang. So why not head down to Cabana Pool Bar right on Polson Pier for some good music, good vibes, beautiful girls in bikinis, and day drinking. Of course, it was another long weekend but the last one of the summer. From day till night we partied on and had another great time that we would never forget. Plus the sunset by the pier was absolutely beautiful that night, as you’ll see below.

IMG_2296 (1)

It was quite the summer indeed, one that will go down in my life as one of the best. It was all thanks to the festivals, the DJs, my crew of best friends, and all these glorious memories that I’ll cherish for the rest of my life, wherever it may lead me.

Keep it PLUR and spread the love – yours truly,

Christian Caputo

Searching for Candyman

The Start of Something Big
This is me approximately 24 hours before I was to begin my first vacation in three years.

Relaxation
As you can imagine, my best friend Zane was just as excited as I was.

Liberty
And for good reason.

Shocked & Awed
This had been my third cruise, but his first, so you can imagine the excitement upon arriving at port.

Journey Underway
His goal that trip was to have a good time, but I had an additional goal in mind.

Goodbye Florida
As we said goodbye to the Floridian coast, I prepared for what was awaiting me on the horizon.

Grand Turk
As we said hello to Turks and Caicos, I got the chance to say hello to home and learn more about my unmet cousin.

St. Maarten
Then with 3 days left in the trip, I finally found his island; St. Maarten.

The Candy Shop
Well, we found him!

Cousin Martin, AKA Candyman
Thank you cousin for the free candy, 10am whiskey, full body beach massage, and the cousinly love.

Rewind.

Liseth_Choices

Think back to a few years ago. You were at home, work, a friend’s house or whenever, on a computer, choosing a college/ university to go to. So many choices in front of you, so many programs. you thought this would be a straight decision but it instead, as if you were on a curvy road, you dipped and dodged schools and programs until you found this baby.

Eliel_Happy_edit

Sent in your application, came to do the essay, spoke with Sheila, Neil, Robyn or whoever and a few weeks later, you were accepted into the family. You were as happy as a kid in a candy store, or in this case, like my nephew going into bath time.

Max_Capacity_edit

Feel special because out of the hundreds of applicants and wannabe’s, you were the most special and talented one. out of 70 open spots, 1 had your name on it. you made it into the limited capacity.

Jawbreakers_edit

YOU rose above the rest, during the interview process. As an announcer and newscaster, you talked your ASS OFF, during that meeting, so much so that you can call yourself a jawbreaker.

Pathways_edit

Pathways were introduced in 2nd semester. So many choices. your friends are going down one way but where did YOU want to end up? Take the wrong pathway, and you could slip, fall and break you confidence. You took a step back, looked at all your options and chose wisely.

Tetris_editYou chose a pathway that you felt, you’d fall right into place with. This picture also represents the production pathway. Producers, help create and build, put together, commercials and shows. making sure EVERY unique, speical and sepereate piece sticks and fits together to keep the game running smoothly. Like Tetris.

Construction2_edit

You’ve put heart and soul into everything you’ve done so far for this program. Constantly working hard. Like a constuction worker. when we started, that building was just getting built. Just like you were. Our profs are the ones who mold us, give us a strong foundation, insulate us with knowledge. Even with distrations around us, you stayed focused. Now, that building outside is almost complete. Just like you will be in April.

It takes time to build a strong, steady and long lasting structure.

Eliel_crying_edit

uncomfortable. not knowing what to expect. fear. the thing we all felt when we sat in front of a live mic for the first time.

My sister is going to kill me for using this picture but still.

Station_home_editBut you know what. that helped us build confidence. Now, the station is your home. a place where you’re secure, confortable and can relax.

Board_edit

in the begiining this was like readeing chinese or playing twister for the 1st time.  moving all over the place, getting tangled up. now, it’s second nature. BUT even though we’re off, the pressue is always on.

Relationships_editin the past 2 years, we’ve made amazing friendships and some of us have made fantastic relationships. Even between the 01s and 02s, we’ve mixed with one another and become one. 01s are still the best, but i digress.

On-Air_sign_edit

the ultimate goal is still the same as it was since day 1. make it….in radio.

 

 

 

 

 

Everybodys got a Story: Todd Shapiro

A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to sit down and Todd-Shapiro-Show1-614x307interview one of Sirius XMs finest and of course hard working radio personalities…Todd Shapiro.

Todd and I had a quick talk while I was working on the Humble and Fred show, and asked him if I could interview him, for a segment I like to call: Everybodys got a Story.

Todd agreed to the interview, but only if we could conduct the interview…Live on his on Sirius XM radio show. How awesome is that? I was super excited, and in was, for a fact, a huge opportunity for me, that I could not say no to.

So, I hope you enjoy my quick but insightful interview with Todd Shapiro on Everybodys got a Story.

Like good things, all bad things come to end.

The last two weeks of semester 3, have been absolute hell, but now as the last week before Christmas break draws to a painful end I can safely say one thing: I have learned a helluva lot about myself, the good, the bad and the ugly. This blog post is going to be a more personal, reflective one because I would like to share what I have learned as well as to pose this question: Who are YOU?

Who am I? I am Olivia.

I am a Radio Broadcasting student who procrastinates when I’m stressed and have no motivation. I push myself until I wear myself thin to the point of bulging at the seams. I get frustrated when assignments don’t go my away and I get upset when I feel like my hard work isn’t appreciated. I get fed up when I’m tired and when I’m happy I feel invincible.

None of those are particularly great qualities to have being in my second year of college; but I’ve grown to accept the fact that slowly I am going to have to realise that I cannot do everything and that not everything is going to work out but to know my hard work is always seen and appreciated. I have also got to learn to breathe,

But despite all of that; I have also grown to learn the past few weeks that I actually love who I am regardless.

And that is something everyone needs to do; love themselves regardless.

Also, I learned one more important thing…

I really, really, really cannot wait to sleep for a month.

Love always,

THE Q&A SHOW PRESENTS: EVERYBODY’S GOT A STORY

Evan McCarroll is a long-time friend of mine. We went to high school together, we got kicked out of high school together, we got in trouble together, we triumphed together and we began college together. He has been a large part of my life for many years. When Evan told me his secret, I was hurt at first that he didn’t feel safe enough to have told me sooner. After some time and thought, I realized how selfish that emotion was of me. How could I be mad, when he had been trying to live with such a big secret for so long.

This is Evan’s story…..

‘Tis the season to be Jolly…

So here’s the deal…

There’s only 8 more days left in the semester, and things are actually looking up in means of school. Everyone is pretty much kicking ass when it comes to assignments/exams and then that’s when you realize there’s only 21 more days until Christmas. I’m sure by now most people have their Christmas tree up, the smell of fresh pine is in the air(unless you have a fake tree from Walmart like me, that’s fine too) and have all sorts of Christmas decorations hanging beautiful-christmas-tree2around the house, and you just know for a fact that once that long and very well deserved Christmas break is over, and you go back to school or work, people might not recognize you(unfortunately) due to all the weight you’re probably going to gain from all of the delicious chocolate, turkey, stuffing, garlic bread, cake, not to mention the candy candies and whatever Santa left for you in your stocking…I could go on forever.

Good thing that “New Years Resolution” always comes in handy….I am right…huh…oh wait…thats just a figure of speech…right?

MERRY-CHRISTMAS-YA-FILTHY-ANIMAL

But of course, just because it’s Christmas and you are on your Christmas break, doesn’t mean it’s all about you. You always have to be thinking about your family, friends, and loved ones.

But it’s also time to think about the ones, who are less unfortunate then you. Everyone loves Christmas, and everyone deserves to have a happy holidays and a happy news years(even if you are a filthy animal).

So in saying that, I encourage anyone and everyone who reads this blog post, or who as ever read a blog post to be generous this year and to take a step back from reality and realize that there are millions of people each year who don’t get to experience a Christmas like other people do. If you don’t feel like having bad karma for the rest of the year, might I suggest you head out to your local Toy Drive and donate, or you can visit CP24 CHUM Christmas Wish and donate online.

Merry Christmas, ya little jerks.

-Scotty Shade.

You Have A Horrible Name!

 

HMNIIt’s time for a name change.


Why could the label that your parents put on you be so bad? There’s only one reason why your name could be so important this time of year…CHRISTMAS!

Santa-Claus-Reading-Your-Wish-List

He’s making a list and checking it twice, and he’s going to find out who’s naughty or nice…

– actually he already has –

Santa has already made a list of the top 3 Naughty names of 2014 and yours might be on it! So if you really wanted that xbox 1, ps4 or new car…you’re going to have to email the big fat man with the white long beard yourself. Hey, I can talk bad about him, I’M ON THE LIST!

Without further adew, here are the Top 3 naughtiest names of 2014:

3. Will & Olivia

2. Cameron & Bethany

1. Joey & Ella

Is your Ex’s name up there? Is YOUR name up there? if so, join the club! and to make things even worse, mine is number one! Like c’mon Santa, cut me some slack! I only swore like no more than 2,000 times this year and I only lied like 8 times…okay thats a lie, it was like 20 times…BUT STILL! I deserve that ps4! I almost gave that homeless person $1 but then I remebered I was hungry so I bought chips, it’s the thought that counts right?!

Meh you know what, I’m not going to beg. I’ll be happy with my lump of coal. My heater is broken anyways so I need something to warm my house.

But for you! if your name is on this list, how are you going to prove to this fat guy – who can barely fit in chimneys and tight red pants – that you’re nice? Luckily for you, you’re motivated and don’t give up easily like I just did. You have 1 month to show you’re worthy to be switched over. My advice, buy a lot of milk and cookies.

But, my advice on staying on the naughty list? Don’t change your name, buy Santa veggies, a treadmill and a scale and you’ll be just fine!

Let me know what your ideas are for getting on the nice list -> @JoeyCast93

In the meantime, I’ll be enjoying my lump of coal and eating like a King on Christmas.

 Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.


Jammin’ With Geoff: The Subject of Sequels

Welcome to another addition of Jammin’ With Geoff! This weeks discussion is a simple one. Namely, when are sequels okay and when are they like taking a cheese grater to your forehead? With these questions in mind, I take a look at the release of a brand new sequel by the name of Dumb and Dumber To.

Here you go:

Enjoy!

How bout them snow tires.

Hey, it’s me, Scotty Shade, and I’m back on the blogs…but don’t get too excited, because, there’s 3 weeks of school left, which means theres gonna be a S**t ton of homework/assignments to do, so I will have no time to blog after this, and when it’s the christmas break, I’m probably gonna forget all about this…sorry.

But anyway, over the past few months, I noticed that, here in Canada, we don’t actually have the regular 4 seasons, everyone believes we have, oh no no no, it’s not the simple, spring, summer, fall and winter…it’s more Rain, summer, a bit chilly, Halloween, and Winter. Way to go climate change, you really messed that up.

As some as you may have noticed, just this week, the GTA experienced it’s first snowfall of the Fall..I mean winter, and it’s occurred to me that a lot of drivers don’t get that driving fast in snow, car1causes car accidents…go figure. It was reported to that where 248 car accidents over a 6 hour period…that’s 41 an hour… I get that we just got over summer, but, did all these people really forget about snow, and how cars aren’t the best at controlling themselves in the wet snow….C’mon man.

Get some snow tires on your car. Yes they can be a tad bit expensive, but it’s a hell of a lot better, then destroying your car sliding/drifting into another car/curb/wall, as well as putting your life and others lives in danger. Winter sucks, but hello…It’s Canada, it’s going to happen, whether you like it or not.

So in the end, just remember to drive safe, be aware, and arrive alive.

– Scotty Shade.

P.S. Check out this cute little panda at the Toronto Zoo, rolling around and enjoying the first snow fall of the year.

Who knew Pandas love snow?

Everything EDM Blog Post – David Guetta ‘Listen’ Album Review

Hello ravers, its yours truly Chris Caputo back again, this time in blog form. I’ll be doing an early review of David Guetta’s highly anticipated 6th studio album ‘Listen.’ I just got my hands on this 14 track work of gold today and trust me it won’t disappoint. If you came in expecting this album just to be like his last album ‘Nothing But The Beat’ you are absolutely wrong. This is a totally different Guetta you’ll be listening to – all these tracks could easily become hits on Top 40 radio, but they are all unique in their own ways.

The lead single ‘Dangerous’ featuring Sam Martin sounds so out of left field but its chorus and catchiness will have you hooked. According to my iTunes, I’ve listened to this track 138 times, its that catchy! There’s other tracks on the album that really catch you off guard like ‘The Whisperer’ with Sia, which is a piano ballad that shows off Sia’s amazing talented voice or the bonus track on the deluxe edition ‘Rise’ with Skylar Grey, which is a more rock track that sounds like something from The Black Keys.

As with any David Guetta album, the list of collaborators is nothing short of stellar. There’s singers like John Legend, Nico & Vinz, Magic!, Ryan Tedder, and Nicki Minaj who appear. Many other DJs and producers lend their talent too like Afrojack, StadiumX, Nicky Romero, Avicii, and Showtek (who appear on two tracks – ‘No Money No Love’ and ‘Sun Goes Down’).

With this album, David Guetta promised that it would be something very different from his previous pop sounds and it definitely lives to that promise he made. Give this album a listen, its totally worth it. Thats all you need to do, just ‘Listen’ and let this work of music speak to you in a way it hasn’t before.

Jammin’ With Geoff: The Brand

My brand, simply put, is film commentary. Movies will be the main subject every week and with each week, a different topic will be centered around it. Previous topics included my passion for film, my five favourite war films in honour of Remembrance Day, and what movies to be excited for in 2014. The reason behind my doing this is simply because I love movies and believe that everyone can relate to enjoying a good movie, being inspired, delighted, terrified and moved by a movie and because they take us away when we want to get away. It’s a universal theme. My sub-group I’m aiming for is film aficionados in the 18-44 bracket.

Enjoy

#ThoughtsOfCaputo Episode 1 – Basic White Girls

Another new semi-revolutionary podcast idea from yours truly once again. Unleashing my inner sarcastic personality in this one, minus any swearing and curse words. It’s totally better and not as dumb as that Perspectives podcast from last week (ain’t nobody got time for big black schlongs) #shotsfired (*air raid sirens*)! In this, I discuss the dumbest trends and topics and make them look even dumber than they already are. This week its all about the epidemic sweeping North America; no it’s not Ebola – its Basic White Girls (O EM GEE!). Starbucks, Zac Efron, Man Crush Monday, Kreyshawn and pointless Instagram posts! OH MY!!! Hope you enjoy, and aren’t super offended (you might but who knows, gotta save my keester somehow).

Gammin’ With Geoff – The Mad Wonder of Fury

In case you’re reading this, thank you for taking another interest in Gammin’ with Geoff. But if you’re new, welcome! Good to have you, and it’s Gammin’ pronounced ‘Jammin’ if you were confused. On this week’s addition, I’m going to be talking about the film Fury. First off, before I get too into it, wow, what a movie. It was compelling, dark, and incredibly realistic. It took the gloves off and pulled every punch it had and then some. Have a listen, check out the official movie site here.

Enjoy! Thanks for Gammin’ with Geoff!

 

One message can make a difference.

Okay so I’m back again with another quick little blog, but today is going to be different.

Usually I talk about stuff that I have been up to, but now, I’m focusing on what’s happening in other peoples lives.

I never would have realized that one simple little message could make a huge difference to someone else. I can understand what it’s like for someone dealing with depression because I have definitely been there before, but I never thought that sending a commenting on an anonymous post would generate a reply to my comment, that would make a difference to myself and someone else’s life.

Here’s my blog podcast to explain exactly what I’m talking about

https://soundcloud.com/scottyshade/blog-podcast

and just remember, there’s always going to be someone there to help you through tough times.

Don’t Give Up, Stay Strong and always Stay Gold.

-Scotty Shade.

Anyway..

So…as I left off in my last blog post…I mentioned that I had an interviewing coming up for an internship on the Humble and Fred show. Well, last friday morning, I drove down to the studio and when I arrived, I didn’t realized I was going to be interviewed until after the show had finished, hmm, so I got to enjoy another live show, of Humble and Fred, and I also got to meet their special guest, Faisal Butt, who was the winner of the Sirius XM top comic.

Anyway..after the show wrapped, the producer and I sat down and had a nice little chat about what I’m learning in school, and how’s everybody at Humber(everybody’s great, obviously) and we started talking about what I would be learning working at the show…

HFlogoSMSo in all basically-tiveness…I am now the new intern at Humble and Fred. I will be working in the studio mondays and friday with Humble and Fred themselves and the producers, this is an amazing opportunity for me and I couldn’t be happier, and I am really excited to start working and get some great experience working for the show.

Now although I’m happy about the internship, I don’t know what it is, but lately i’ve been feeling kind of down and stressed and gloomy. For some reason, I have been so tired and un-energetic, maybe it’s cause I was really stressing over the huge seminar assignment we had to do, everyone being sick, the weather, among other things. It really sucks too, because I want to go to school and learn a lot about the business I’m apart of, but on the other hand, I just wanna stay in bed all day and not be bothered by anything.

Hopefully I’ll start feeling better soon, being sick sucks.

peace.

Blog by Geoffrey Mendelssohn

So one of the hardest times of the school year is upon us. I’ve seen this season mess with my friends to the point they’re injecting coffee into their veins and pulling their hair out until they could pass for Dr. Evil. I hate to see this happen to my friends, so I’m offering up these little tidbits of advice that have gotten me through some dark times. With any luck, they’ll work for you as well as if not better than they have with me. Enjoy!
