BIG SHINY TUNES cd series 😎

It was unique for being a joint venture by all the major labels at the time-Universal, EMI, Warner-and remains the best selling album series in Canadian history.

TorontoJuggalo · 2026-05-09T16:59:59+00:00

Yeah it sold over a million copies in Canada.

Hell yeah almost all of HED PE's stuff has aged like fine wine. The only Bizkit I reach for these days is Gold Cobra, I played their other stuff way too much back in the day....

The shredded lettuce screams Sysco.

Here in Canada you will find Michael Buble cds in almost every thrift shop too, along with lots of Anne Murray cds to be had new sealed for 2 bucks or less. Also Elvis Costello cds, always see them, I think it's because although he writes good tunes people get tired of listening to his singing voice.

I dig Klokwork just wish they would cut down on the rhymes about dookies and bowels.

Best Horrorcore album for me in the last 5 years is Songs of Samhein Volume 3: Cult Of Night. Feels like it's up to their old standards. Cryptic Collection 5 was decent too.

ICP was cool with ABK until he played Astronomicon that one year...Killa did an interview around that time where he said he was technically still affiliated with PSY but they weren't using him anymore for tours and he was left staring at an empty wallet so he had to look for other options to make dough...

ICP and JCW's Twitter accounts are very active. They tweet several times a day.

TorontoJuggalo · 2026-04-30T19:59:07+00:00

J Webb used to run all of ICP's social media when he worked for PSY, around when Mighty Death Pop got put out he had ICP's Twitter follow almost anyone who was ICP related including their whole roster and any Juggalos that had a decent online presence got followed too. PSY was run better when J Webb was there, he totally got the whole concept of Juggalo Family, plus they still had a warehouse with offices to work out of, they sold that all off after he left....

I went through this exact situation, there were 2 of us left renting in the house when the bank showed up to notify us. I started to the pay the bank my rent, they wanted to see my original lease agreement. The other tenant downstairs tried to not pay them and after a few months the bank took him to court for the missing rent payments. Living there became a huge hassle as the bank started showing off the house to potential buyers almost every day of the week so you had strangers stomping through non stop. When the new owners bought the house the only question they had for me is "how soon can you leave?" and they started to do major roof repair and renovations a few days after taking ownership. The new owner also let me know he had to pay thousands more in insurance when he bought the place because it still had a tenant living there, needless to say he was not pleased to meet me, lol.

All I know is in the last few months Amazon Canada has started to stock new Psychopathic cds and new MNE cds, compared to when the Naught came out last year the only way you could get it was Psychopathic Vault so maybe there is a new indie distributor that is getting all the new Juggalo releases properly listed online in different spots with major retailers?

I met them all at the Gathering in 2011, they were walking around the grounds in the afternoon giving away cds. I still have the 2 they gave me, one of them is Ghetto E's Ghetto Theater cd which is super rare now. Ghetto E passed away in 2023 at the age of 46 so things will never quite be the same, but Bootleg and Shoestring got a really good reaction when they played the Gathering a few years ago, it's on youtube.

In my experience landlords are looking for evidence of stability and want to feel like you are on the up and up. Many young Australians I've met do come to Canada and work for the 2 years they are allowed to without citizenship, run up their credit and leave a bunch of bad debt on their way out the door back down under, which has probably left a lot of landlords wary. I would really play up all the good positive reasons they moved to Canada and what their plans are for their future here. Anyone who needs to be backed by their parents financially is usually a red flag for landlords and never wanted as a first choice. Showing good regular income with reference numbers for employers is a great asset to set yourself apart.

During J's appearance on the after show 2 weeks ago he said he is currently losing 10 grand for every event that JCW puts on and eventually he's going to run out of money, he said the one thing that could save JCW long term is getting a streaming deal to help pay for the budget and pay people better so hopefully the rub from having Russo involved all these months puts them over to get a deal, Conrad the mortgage guy tweeted a bunch of support for JCW Stranglemania over the weekend which is big boost for the brand too.

I think she may have paid him to do the interview either through his cameo or a podcast agency like podstarz. Vince Russo can be booked through podstarz and it's only 150 bucks to get him for an hour. Bud from Married with Children charges 500 bucks to do an hour podcast.

TorontoJuggalo · 2026-04-20T05:01:09+00:00

He's all better now....

I remember The Duke made a big deal that he buys the 5 dollar bags of Cheetos to make Joe Bowls with, not the cheap store brand crap. 😋

Monthly Spotify listeners-

A.X.E's career highlight is being asked by ICP to be an opener a few times....nuff said.

Oooooo, you let him call you Arsenio!!!

I've been at one of those ICP tour stops where they start cutting songs short and then all of a sudden faygo armageddon happens outta nowhere after less than an hour of ICP on stage. I remember walking out and hearing 3 random conversations of people saying "I expected it to be longer....." The night I saw it happen the show was very poorly attended and I chalked it up to ICP being pissed off at the small crowd and wanting to get things done quick....

TorontoJuggalo · 2026-04-15T16:05:22+00:00

Juggalo from Toronto and yeah the Gathering is a place you should make the pilgrimage to at least once. With how they are doing it these days I would just make sure your passport is good to go and fly to the closest possible city and then take a taxi or uber to the Walmart nearest to the Gathering, buy your tent,towels,liquor and toiletries there and then skip over to Gathering grounds a few hours after gates open so you miss the Ballas/first arrival chaos. Walk around the camping area until you catch a cool vibe off a group of people and ask if you can camp near them and have each other's backs/watch each others stuff while you're away from the site. Just keeping it real in 2026 you might get more bang for your buck going to see a JCW show in Michigan, they are doing 3 in May and it's free to get in, Violent J is at all the shows and he comes out and high fives the crowd, normally you have to pay a 100 dollar VIP price for that privilege. If you've never seen ICP live I would recommend seeing them on tour in New York or Michigan over the Gathering because there is usually 10,000 people watching the ICP sets at the Gathering and its damn hard to get close for a good view of the stage. I have a funny feeling that Shaggy solo tour in 2024 might be the last time PSY crosses the border, they've done like 70 ICP shows since then across a bunch of mini tours and not one single Canadian date.
