Most of my posts are cover songs, with the occasional exception. Posts tagged #Extra Thread are posts which include various ways some songs are connected. Oh, and I’m from Toronto. I love this city. If you search #toronto, you’ll find a plethora of Toronto talent! I’m mostly into soul, r&b, hip-hop, and reggae. But, I do enjoy the occasional pop, rock, and bossa nova track! var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-22090712-2']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']); (function() { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true; ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ?
