New Mixtape: Tasha Rozez - Ting A Shot!!! Summer Mix 2010
Tasha Rozez DJs and runs her own reggae soundsystem here in the T.dot. This mixtape by her was released for Caribana and got crazy PR via a front cover story on her in NOW magazine (Toronto's equivalent to the Village Voice) two weeks ago. I missed that at first but then my homegirl, Anousheh put me up on her even though it turns out I had actually seen homegirl sitting on panel down at a film screening I went to right before that:

Caribana 2009: Wrap-Up in Images Part 2
UMG still puts up posterboards - and ones this ineffective?? Wow....
Toronto indie artists are gangsta! Check out this bootleg poster your man, Justin Bieber put up that I spotted on the train heading home. I bet his budget was a lot smaller than UMG and the impact in comparison - no contest!

Caribana 2009: Wrap-Up in Images Part 1
*Late Pass*
A lot of the images were spoiled by the obstruction of the wire fencing they put up on the side of Lakeshore Blvd. I was on. Sorry, but that was the side the food was on too so sue me! Anyway, enjoy....
First thing I saw when I hit the parade route: Corporate Canada is finally down with Caribana BIG time!
Flow 93.5 in effect!!!
With the Chef Raekwon on the float!
To TorontoCoconuts.com: not having your website ready after generating a potential 1 million impressions at Caribana = marketing FAIL!
Willy's Jerk?? Pause on that....
