ge-n-off beats

Did any of you guys see geoff on fashion tv sporting his killer gold mesh shirt? We taped it, we should post it here for your enjoyment. Also can't wait to see Geoff and Kevan's geno performance.

Also to continue some Mikey Bustos stuff. I google his name in this is what I got from
Chart attack

Last night?s episode of Canadian Idol (#3 if you?re keeping track) brought the show?s crew to Ottawa and Toronto for the final rounds of auditions. While the auditions in the prairies and the Maritimes were bland at best, the contestants from the oft ignored regions of Canada had enough heart to make themselves endearing. Last night?s wannabes, especially those from Toronto (many of whom double-dipped by driving up to Ottawa to increase their chances) were flashier, but they certainly didn?t have a whole lot of personality. That, coupled with the lackluster judges ? who are so desperately, but fruitlessly, trying to carve out television personalities for themselves ? made last night?s show pretty boring.


Still, there were a few bright lights that might make the finals worth our while. If we were to lay our bets today, ChartAttack?s money would be on Toronto contestant Mikey Bustos, a slightly strange looking young man with a shaved head and the voice of an angel. Bustos belted out a killer version of Lionel Richie?s "Hello" without a hint of irony. While the judges have been moved to tears and felt the urge to jump up and hug contestants too many times for their enthusiasm to actually mean anything anymore, Zack, Jake, Sass and Farley?s astonishment was truly warranted this time. Mikey, on the other hand, was overjoyed that he was being given the chance to represent the Asian-Canadian community. It was warm fuzzies all around.


While Mikey Bustos may be on his way to becoming our Canadian Idol, last night?s episode programmed far too many people who don?t have a hope in hell,
