I could fill an ocean with the tears that I’ve cried.
Over you.
I guess you could say it’s been hard and it’ll take some time to get.
Over you.
Every single time I go outside I keep my eyes wide to find someone.
Over you.
All these men pass by and I realize with a sigh, they got nothing.
Over you.
So what am I to do? Just get under anyone to get.
Over you?
Tonight I had the pleasure of being invited out to the Bata Shoe Museum for the opening night of the newest Anandam Dance Theatre installation.
They created a living and interactive installation entitled Divergent Dances for Windows and Walls.
The experience began on the outside of the museum; from our vantage point on the north side of Bloor we could see four aerial dancers climb and uncoil and slide their way precariously on aerial ropes. My heart skipped a beat more then once watching the performers; one of which was Kevin O’Connor my friend and co-creative facilitator of this 4 day art installation.
As most of the performers moved inside there were still others performing outside, like the flyer said “There is never any specific place to view this installation. Wander freely about the spaces.” Yes, this experience actually came with 7 instructions. I loved this aspect and truly thought the idea of “You will never be in the way-if you always remain sensitive to everyone around you”, was very meaningful.
All I could think when I saw this was #diplo #expressyourself
The artists would contemporary dance in a group, then move in different directions, then some would perform on the aerial ropes, it was a very organic experience to watch grow and freely happen around you.
This patron didn’t know what to do when the performer moved in on her feet
At one point each of us in that room was part of the show, either by coming too close to a dancere who just kept dancing into you, or being asked to aid a performer get to a higher ledge, or when the finale created a giant intertwined, webbed rope living sculture out of volunteers from the crowd.
Do go if you can, the show runs thursday 25th to Saturday 27th. Doors open at 8! Get there early as it will no doubt sell out!
Love yous,
p.s. Truly an experience that brought me joy.
I’m not a bad person, I just accidentally stole something.
I made this video response for my friend Faris (The BunnieGirl), cuz she made this video about stealing.
Just wanted to share with all of you my most shameful moment …
Just saw the vid for this on Much Music…and was mesmerized…I’ve been kinda out of the hip hop game for a while and had been spinnin tunes from Adele, Lana Del Rey, Tallest Man on Earth and Plants and Animals…(I was under the influence of a certain drug and he was Irish)… I digress…
Hip Hop here I come.
Thank you Kanye West for making music that is amazing.
And just being so mothafucking bad!
Of note: Rihanna you are perfection!
Another note:

The hotness of @SidePonyNation is too much to handle (Taken with Instagram at Green Rabbit Studio)
Brooklyn went hard last night in Toronto at the Koolhaus. Santigold brought her new album Master of my Make Believe to an amped crowd that just wanted to dance. I know it’s only May, but this is the album I’ll be listening to all summer long.
~Santi opened with Go! ft. Karen O, such a powerhouse song…we started far from the stage…but can’t help but getting as close as possible during a show.
Her set was an hour and a half of old and new fire! Here’s a pic of the setlist!
One of the best parts of the show was the two twin dancers flanking Santi. They mesmerized me with their simple but storytelling movements…I wanted to be them…and almost had my chance but didn’t make it to the front of the stage in time. DANG!
~So close, but so far away
~magic horse
~The dancers were so good
Gotta mention Brooklyn based rapper/singer Theophilus London who opened the show. He interacted with the crowd, stage dived and then chilled at the merch booth after the show. That’s where my crew found him…oh and he grabbed my boob….Accidentally he says!
~Me removing his hand from my breast, with my girls @lymoffatt and @aomok.
All in all great show! Can’t wait to see Santi at Osheaga in August. If you haven’t checked out the new album be sure to do that…stand outs for me include, This isn’t our Parade and Disparate Youth. Do it now!

Interview with Cadence Weapon at CMW
Being part of the @NatandMarie show has provided me with some pretty cool opportunities. So with media passes in hand @Jhuze and I went and checked out the Saul Williams show at the Great Hall during Canadian Music Week.
I had the opportunity to interview Montreal based rapper Cadence Weapon who was part of the Great Hall showcase. We talked post rap and Toronto, but mostly his hate for memes and meme culture…we are an internet show after all. Then we made him into lot’s of memes…check them all out here.
He’s pretty sick and is gonna be big, just check out his latest video:
Thanks for clickin!

Everyone needs to listen to this song: Major Lazer ft. Amber Coffman
So So smooth, serene and summery. Amber Coffman vocals with the skanky reggae rythms of Diplo and Switch is all I wanna listen to this summer. Did you notice the dings…make you feel like your getting a message…from the GODS!
~@TaCaGo
I’ll see you on Reality TV…Maybe..
Hey Friends,
Been a long time since we last spoke through TaCaGo Talk…you can find me weekly on the Nat & Marie Tumblr though.
But wanted to post this video audition I made for Jules casting in order to be on the upcoming Travel Experience of a Life Time Reality TV Show. I made the top 20 already, so just waiting to hear if I made it through to the next round!
Let me know what you think and wish me luck!
