My Night with Deadmau5 and the Trailer Park Boys

So the Juno's were in town last weekend here in St. John's Newfoundland and the usually sleepy city was on wheels. While it's pretty pricy to get into all the concerts that go on before the big show, I was able to use my media pass (I'm a tv reporter) and got in to everything no problem. Now, I'll be the first to admit - the Junos are a bit of a joke, but when I heard Deadmau5 was playing, I figured it was worth checking out.

Anyway - thought I'd share these grainy pics of the 4 hour set he played....have to admit - It was pretty awesome...And the guy is cool. I spoke to him earlier in the day and he talked about the scene, and how its super greasy with lots of pill popping - but he doesn't do any drugs, only likes to get a drink on.... which made his cred skyrocket in my mind. The guy was a machine in his performance and played every track on random and lack, and more. He later won for best electronic / dance artist.

The last pic is me and a buddy with 2/3rds of the Trailer Park Boys - we wound up partying in their hotel suite....they're effin nuts, as expected. Anyway - it was a nice change for a fishing town to get a 7 day party like this one.

I also interviewed K-os, K'naan, Classified, and yep you betcha - Justin Bieber. What a shit that kid is.

Wow - who knew everyone was going to be so interested in Beiber?

Well - heres the deal on that one.

He was doing an autograph signing at the mall and before he went into the lions den of screaming pre-pubescent fans, he made his way through the "not so lions den" of un-inspired reporters wondering what we did to our news director to warrant wasting a perfectly good Saturday afternoon waiting for a 16 year old "singer" who's balls haven't dropped and will make more money in 15 minutes then all of us collectively in a lifetime.

He came along to each reporter in the row, with his bodyguard(s) on either side....big black scary dudes.

I digress. When it came time for me to ask him about Stratford Ontario, his big break, his fan-base, his upcoming performance and if he's lost his virginity yet- I completely got sidetracked by his hair. I kinda knew it would happen. This whimsical wispy frock that mysteriously yet meticulously bounces back into place as though he was in a light sou'wester breeze and smells like vanilla sticks and cherry coke.

Then I asked him about Drake, his tour and if he ever gets used to the shitstorm around him everywhere he goes.

He answered quickly, then was shuffled on to the next guy, and I immediately decided he was a shit because anyone who has hair like that, is 3 feet tall, weighs 36 pounds and wears skinny jeans and is the biggest thing around...... is most definitely a shit.

man

i hated it when people say "deadmau5 played every track on"

songs are released as singles. everything was a single before it was compiled to an album.

okay, yes, a lot of his songs were released as singles first. same as a lot of that genre of music (dance/house/whatever you want to call it) is.

but would you really rather she say "he played not exactly, arguru, faxing berlin, complications, slip, etc, etc..." than "he played every song on random album title"? she might as well write out the entire set list.

don't get me wrong, i get where you're coming from. but it is way more practical to group them that way.

/rant (or whatever)

@th1337

he's 16?!?!?! i thought he was 13 at most

fuck i hate that kid...and that's only because i'm most definitely jealous...i wouldn't want to be as gay as him but i'd love to make that much bank just by screeching on stage for 4 minutes while wearing tight jeans and super cool sneakers

beiber is just an average kid with exceptional hair and testicles the size of m&m minis

dub post, my bad.

but i didn't even say anything about the actual thread - sounds sick. seeing deadmau5 live is one thing i need to do before i die, and talking to him...well, that would be insane.

glad to hear one of those music industry types is actually a cool guy.
