On this, holiest of holy days, at 4:20 around the world, people will gather together, on lawns, in basements, in parks, on rooftops, on porches, in school yards, in office bathrooms and yes, perhaps even in monestary chapels where we as marjuana lovers will unite as one powerfull body to release a cloud of glorious sweet smoke to ground flights the world over. That Icelandic volcano has nothing on our reefer power.

So for this reason, we ask all you lovers, smokers and midnight tokers to step into the afternoon glare and blaze one up for ur fellow stoners.

We love you all,

Slice

HERE IT IS! Sky Ferreira's debut Music Video '17'

Dear Slice,
After reading the recent "Hipsters are the new Jocks" MESH - (International Electro-rapper, Brooklyn, NY) and then following the link and reading the recent article by Ad busters (which you can read here) I thought 'Am I a Hipster?'
I couldn't decide my answer- if it was going to be a quite guilty nod or a full throated no (which would be full of an air of superiority because unlike everyone else I hadn't given into it.)
Before I made my decision, there were a few things to consider:

1. I own a bike.
2. I have a blog.
3. One side of my head is shaved.
4. I wear a denim shirt with black leggings.
5. I've met Mark Hunter.
6. Vice magazine was my hero from the age of 12.

So this put me at about 85% hipster. The last 15% was empty because of the absence of lo-fi pictures with analog cameras in my life. There were no Polaroid photos on my wall- nor were there Polaroid photos on my facebook. I was worried. How could I become a total 100% hipster without the photos. (And just an after thought- the fact that I was worried and consciously aware of this- adds at least another 10% to me being a hipster. As 50% of being a Hipster is thinking about being a hipster.)

I was too anxious to add those cool kids I met last night on facebook because I didn't have the goods to back up the meeting. I didn't have the photos. I avoided responding to their friend requests for a couple of days and then joy oh joy. I stumbled across Secret Hipster Heaven.

Poladroid is a program you can download free that lets you turn your ordinary photos in polaroid photos. Above is my friend's photo she turned into a polaroid using the program.

Obviously - in hipster reality- we would all like to have genuine polaroid photos but we have to realise this isn't always going to turn out. If we want to live the dream- we're going to have to make a few sacrifices along the way and I am ready and mature enough to make such decisions.

I've already got four new profile pictures and three new totally rad* friends.

Love Frankie
(who is currently 110% hipster)

*rad is hipster for cool. Not cool in the sense of obviously trying to be cool, cool in the sense of not trying to be cool, just naturally cool (but in this not trying, a lot of thinking and pondering and considering goes into it. So really just not trying in an obvious way to be cool , cool. )

Who remembers SNOW!? Well I guarantee if you're from Toronto and you grew up during the 90s then this was your JAM at one point in your life. I thought we'd take a trip down memory lane with Toronto's very own Snow.

Enjoy,

Dr. Dog. They're awesome. If you like My Morning Jacket, Spoon and The Thrills then you'll love them. They're releasaing their 6th album Shame, Shame on the 6th of April and we're giving our readers a preview. It's stellar.

Enjoy

Okay,

So a few weeks ago we got an email from a one man band from Scotland who performs under the name Deathpodal.

He describes himself as a DIY musician, which we here at Slice can respect. He performs and records the majority of instruments himself but where he can't he implores the use of some of his musical buddies to assist.

Virtually every instrument was explored on his debut EP Exu_Wow. We'd describe the sound as atmospheric and we're particularly fond of his track 'Robert', where he makes use of the clarinet amongst many other instruments, and also concedes to a complete tonal change approximately 2 minutes into the song. He sites bands such as Sonic Youth and PJ Harvey as major influences.

We'll try and make 'Robert' available as a download so check back soon.

We featured this band over a year ago when Green Go Remix Project vol. 1 was making the rounds in Toronto. Their sweaty house party style gained attention amongst Southwestern Ontario's music scene and they followed up the buzz and excitment with their first full length album entitled Boarders which was released last April. More recently their song 'You know You Want it' was featured in an episode of the hilarious spy comedy 'Chuck'.

Green Go is back with vol. 2 of their remix project (this one featuring Woodhands...HELLO...need we say more?) and they are generously offering up a free download available at greengomusic.com

Happy Tuesday young thugs,

Slice
