In regards to all the Rush footage in circulation right now, it is safe to say everything about this tour, the show, the sound, the incredible shape the three of them are in musically, the spirit, the production, and the anniversary, bears all the hallmarks of the good stuff. The Rush Fifty Something Tour kicked off in L.A. on June 7, tearing through 18 massive shows with their new lineup before making a big hometown return.

It is amazing what you find when you finally decide to do a proper deep clean on a weekday. I was spending my Thursday scrubbing down the Black Donnelly Media studio, moving around keyboards, dusting off the stacks of R&R, House & Techno vinyl records, and reorganizing my recording gear, when I stumbled onto a little forgotten treasure trove. Right there, hiding in plain sight behind a tangle of microphone cables, was a collection of Schedule 35 magic mushroom sample packs.

Welcome back to The Jive Wire. It is Ants here and I want to give you all a look into what is happening right out on my Toronto balcony. We are officially rolling with our documentary project Waiting On The Flockers. If you have been following along you know we have two new residents named Peter and Helen. I named these two pigeons after my late grandparents. They hold a really deep personal significance for me. Whenever I went through hard times after my grandparents passed

It is quite easy to mock the guy when he faces public embarrassment, whether he is getting booed at a stadium or stumbling through a speech. We assume he is cringing at his own failures, but in reality the charlatan couldn't care less. He is actually laughing behind the scenes while the public is distracted by his buffoonery fixated on his antics, he is busy picking the pockets of American taxpayers and strangling the economy. He is essentially grinding the Justice Department

You know the old joke right. A Scotsman drops a penny and it hits him on the back of the head. We have all heard the stereotypes about the cheap Scotsman holding onto his wallet for dear life. Well I am here to tell you that the legendary Tartan Army just blew that stereotype right out of the water down in New England during this 2026 World Cup. Over 20,000 members of the Tartan Army descended on the Boston area. The original plan was to stay near Gillette Stadium in Foxboro

Alright, let us talk about the massive concrete and steel giant sitting right at the corner of Yonge and Bloor.

It is called The One Yonge & Bloor It was supposed to be a shining monument, Canada's very first official supertall skyscraper stretching 306 meters into the clouds.

Hey everybody, Ants here from Jive Talkin and Black Donnelly Media. Grab a coffee and take a seat because we need to have a serious talk about our beautiful city of Toronto. We all work hard for our pay. We punch the clock, pay our taxes, and expect the government to use that money for affordable housing to keep the roads paved, the garbage picked up, and the parks clean. But lately it feels like the folks in charge are treating our hard earned tax dollars like a bottomless A

Let me tell you, music culture is like a river constantly flowing, sometimes calm,currently flooded with a subculture of shite, (The "AI Creative Musician") and sometimes roaring with energy. Right now, that river is swelling with new influences, technologies, and social movements, but not all of these tech advancements are exactly the best thing for the overall industry or music as a whole. From the rise of genre blending artists to the explosion of digital platforms, the la

The Death Of The Moment. Why the Dance Floor Needs To Ban the Mobile. Ban The Mobile There is something unique about being over forty in this modern world. We are the last of a species that knows exactly what life felt like pre and post mobile phone. We saw the internet arrive, but more specifically, we saw the mobile phone crawl out of the tech labs and into the sky above our dance floors, eclipsing the soul of the culture. The harmony of a mock ritual, a room full of people

If you caught my last breakdown on the absolute horror show that is the cost of living in Toronto, you already know the math doesn't work for the working class.

Close-up of a tobacco leaf with glowing veins and sparkling crystals Hey Psychonauts, Anthony here. Grab a coffee or maybe something stronger because science just told Mother Nature to hold its beer. I was reading some news today and saw something that completely blew my mind. Scientists have figured out how to turn regular tobacco plants into little factories for psychedelic compounds.
