I don't feel the Monkey has the expressive words to describe Dreamcatcher by Tony Morello. This is the ultimate trip into pure emotion. It is a musical journey that slides smoothly through your mind and into your heart. Truly you can feel that Tony put his entire heart into this mix. It is raw and emotional, at times grievingly sad, at times hopeful and seeking life and light. Perhaps you will understand better knowing that Tony recorded this set in memory of his grandparents recently passed, and to celebrate thier lives, and their Native heritage. This is Tony's musical expression straight from his heart. As such, the smilingest DJ in the world is not afraid to show us his heritage and his heart. Don't be afraid of this journey Tony, as through your expression we all travel beside you, we dance beside you, and we grieve along with you. Always dream...dare to dream. Love always, The Drunken Monkey.

Yes, that really is a bear with sharks for arms. Yes, there really is such a creature. It was developed in secret by the gov't while trying to genetically engineer super soldiers. Makes sense when you think of it. I mean really what could be more awesome than a Bear with frikken Sharks for arms! Puts our own army of flying monkey's to shame. You may be wondering what the Monkey does this have to do with the new podcast by MC Dirty? Well jeez, I dont know, but the world needs to know! It's frakin 2012, end of the world and all that jazz, and there's the lady with a giant bowl of fruit on her head, and well you know what that means! Face it people this could be your last chance to dance right here right now. So without any further delay lets get on with the show. Ladies and Gentleman, Monkeys's eveywhere, presenting, on his birthday no less, the made of awesome, big arms DJ of this planet and maybe even more: MC DIRTY - Made Of Awesome! Now dance with us, feel the awesome! Be the awesome! Love always, The Awesome Monkey.

“We’re all we have left. We ought to be able to stick together against everything. If we don’t have each other, we don’t have anything." - S.E. Hinton, The Outsiders

Drunken Monkey's stick together. When the going gets tough or the world has knocked us down, we can always count on each other. Without a doubt when a Monkey goes down, there's another Monkey right there to pick him up and carry on by his side. Got no Monkey's? Yes you do. Let us be your monkey's. I can promise you will never walk alone, there will always be a Monkey there so long as there's energy in the Universe to guide us. Trust the Dj...it's all right there in the music. Music is the Answer. Please enjoy and lift your feet for Dramatik in this set he recorded for all his friends. Walk beside us, dance if you feel it. Love always, The Drunken Monkey.

I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by,
And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking,
And a grey mist on the sea's face, and a grey dawn breaking.

I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.

I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull's way and the whale's way, where the wind's like a whetted knife;
And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick's over.

-John Masefield

Now you may be asking just what the hell that has to do with the podcast and Collin's new set "Saltwater"? Glad you asked indeed. Well, ah, ummm, errr....Yaaaaaaaaarrrrr! Pass the rum! Love always, The DrunKen MonKey.

If Earl Von Bye was in Star Wars he would be Obi-Wan Kenobi. Jedi Knight: a shining example. Master: to some. Hero: to others. General: the highest rank. Crazy Old Wizard: hes been called that! Old Man Preaching Hokey Religions & Ancient Weapons: hmmm yes, vinyl records and SL1200's! Damn Fool Idealistic Crusader: yes especially this! We like to poke fun at old "Obi-Von Bye", but consider: That "old man" defeated the first Sith Lord in over 1000 years, went toe to toe with a droid general, the galaxy's badest bounty hunter, not to mention 2 more Sith Lords, one of them being the most powerful that ever lived, you may have heard of him: Darth Vader! The Verdict: More powerful than you could possibly imagine!

EVB has named this set after his hero and idol. His tribute to an unsung hero. Indeed those who know EVB will attest that he lives by a code like a Jedi and even exibits similar traits to his hero: Humble confidence, quiet strength, boundless courage. He is wise, calm, calculating. A deep thinker, maybe too serious at times. Dry sense of humour? Yes that too! This set was recorded entirely with vinyl records on only a pair of Technics SL1200's...An elegant weapon for a more civilized age. Please enjoy the story and journey you are about to hear. Let the Force surround you, penetrate you and bind the Galaxy together. Oh and one last thing: You don't need to see his identification, these aren't the droids you're looking for, you can go about your business, move along...May The Force Be With You, The Drunken Monkey

Never say, "I cannot"; for you are infinite. Even time and space are as nothing compared with your nature. You can do anything and everything. - Swami Vivekananda

Food for thought, and another epic world changing heart stopping spine tingling goose bumping wood chopping mind blowing face melting knee wobbling ankle waxing dog walking wiggling wonkers dancfloor kajonkers redonkulistic work of artistic DJ magic, from the Drunken Monkey sweetheart of the decks - Heather Yo-Daddy! The rest of you may just be speechless.  Indeeeeeeeeeed! Love Always, The Drunken Monkey.

We love the music and we love to dance. We enjoy the drink, and we goof off like a bunch of monKey's. We like to drive with the music up and the pedal down. We are DrunKen MonKey's and that's how we roll. But sometimes the universe takes an unexpected turn. Trials and tribulations and can hit you like a ton of bricks. Have you ever lost someone you cared deeply for? Without fail it comes on our journey through life. We know that death is a part of the story of life. But we are never ready for it, and there is no proper description for the hurt. Our dear DrunKen MonKey, MC Dirty -Daryl- (in serious times we all have real names)  just lost a friend, close to him and family. His name was Morgan. Morgan was loved and dear to Daryl and his sister. He will be remembered for his smiling face, and we all have faith that Morgan is smiling right now from wherever he is, maybe a luxury box seat in the sky. Let us think that Morgan was with Daryl, as he recorded this set with him in mind. For when tradgedy strikes, it's music that will guide us through. Music is the energy of life, universal and eternal. Lets take Daryl's gift to Morgan, this music, and let it guide us through whatever life throws our way. Grief, joy, heaven or hell. We all have lost a Morgan in our lives...take a moment and remember. Then pick yourself back up, and dance like the world is new again! That's the way they would want it. Love always, The Drunken Monkey

Mr. Morello, why so humble? OK we know you're not the type who goes around tootin' his own horn. Well admired your quiet confidence is. So please then stand aside and let the Monkey SHOUT your praises! Hello world! Pay frakin attention! Here stands Canada's best kept secret! Light up the booth! Amps to 11! The floor is now open, and now is that time, the time that we dance! You will dance, oh yes, you will dance! Without a doubt the Drunken MonKey knows that Tony Morello is the King of all Clubs! Love and secrets, The Drunken Monkey

This is the Year 2012. The future we all dreamed of? If it is, then I want my flying car dammmnit! What do we get instead? Out of control digitalism! Well, the Monkey says RESIST! It's not impossible to rewind my friends, find and embrace your analog roots! Throw back the demons of mp3's and all those laptop dragons of doom. The path to real peace and love was always within your reach...listen to a vinyl record. Listen and feel the Force. Rediscover your being. Off The Grid was recorded by one of our greatest masters, DJ Lithium, at Ealing studios in London UK in 2007, and of course it was played with nothing but real vinyl records. For this one we recommend you put on your trance pants, and maybe some fast shoes! A wiser Monkey than us said "Music is an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the galaxy together" Love always, The Drunken Monkey

Oh the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful, and since there's no place to go...oh hello! Won't you come in and warm yourself by the fire? Welcome to the Chrsitmas edition of the Drunken Monkey Podcast. Yes this is a roaring fire I'm sitting next to, and my lord is it ever stoked! I'm sorry youre freezing your little monkey butts off, while I sit here with enough chopped wood to stay warm all winter long. Indeed, where did I get all this chopped wood? Well, find out for yourself, give this a listen. Her name is Heather Yo-Daddy. No, I doubt you've ever heard of her, but this new little whipper chopper is creating quite a buzz around with the Monkey's these days. I'm sure you'll agree after this that everyone will be watching her career with great interest! Please enjoy Praesentia, enjoy the spirit of dance, enjoy the warmth of the fire. Merry Christmas everyone! Oh and Heather, welcome to the Monkey's. Love and Monkey's, The Drunken Santa.
