There are a million webradio stations out there, but only a handful of true gems. The site called "Beyond the Beat Generation" is definitly one of them.

"Welcome to the world of obscurity. This is an archive - a museum! BEYOND THE BEAT GENERATION archives and publishes the entire, long forgotten 'wild' musical gems out of the great years of the sixties (1965-1969) to a bright audience by using today's technology as we call 'Stream Radio'.

The music formerly known as: Hippie music, Underground, 60's punk, Flower Power, Mod, Free-Form-Freak-out, Garage music, Psychedelia or Teen Beat, the weirdest, the worst, the most powerful and nastiest ever recorded. During the 60's all teens were obsessed by music, but only a few touched surface, all groups wanted to be, sound like, or look like 'The Beatles', 'The Rolling Stones', 'Pink Floyd', 'The Doors', 'Jefferson Airplane' or 'The Velvet Underground'. Music was a movement. Music was the expression of a lifestyle. Music was politics, a protest against establishment, wars and society." (Text taken from the site)

Now head over to www.beyondthebeatgeneration.com, tune in and enjoy...

As the title already suggests, strictly hip-hop 45's from 2009 are being used, including my own little collab with 215 The Freshest Kidz called Illuminate. Check this one out, it's definitely worth it!

Poutine is a typical Canadian dish consisting of fries made in duck lard, topped with chicken gravy and cheese. For the german speaking population, this is what austrian newspaper Der Standard says about it:

"Ein anderes, typisch kanadisches Gericht ist die aus Quebec stammende 'Poutine' - ein Schüsserl Pommes frites, getoppt mit dickem Bratensaft (gravy) und Cheddarkäse. In Vancouver allerdings wird der 'gravy' je nach Laune, Lust und ethnischen Vorzügen gern durch Sauce Bolognese oder Gemüsecurry ersetzt. Und statt Cheddar kann man getrost auch Mozzarella, griechischen Feta- oder indischen Paneer-Käse drüberstreuen." Der Standard RONDO Nr. 558, 5.2.2010, p.16

The one to your left was last seen in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada on December 19th 2009.

There's even a track about it! Check out Poutine by Vertual Vertigo HERE. Moizeit!

The few gems on MySpace are spread far apart, but they exist, ending in ing is one of them. I stumbled across his music about half a year ago on aforementioned platform and he's truly the epitomy of the bedroom producer in my opinion, taken his approach to music is the following: "I make beats using a laptop and some records I’ve salvaged from various places". Period. On his free download album Slow Songs Vol. 1, the London based producer blends his samples in a very eclectic way, easy to listen to, but still deep enough to give you the chills once in a while, especially on my personal favorite: Keep On Loving Me. If one were to find similarities with known artists, I'd place him somewhere between Kid Koala, a little bit of RJD2 and Hint's Portacabin Fever. Check this one out, it's worth it. Eagerly waiting for Volume 2.
