Public Bathroom Reviews: Mr. Mike’s Pizza

This is the first installment of my bathroom reviews during my travels. So why not start it off with one of the most disgusting bathrooms that I’ve come across in Burlington, VT.

Mr. Mikes Pizza

Mr. Mikes is located on the corner of Main St. and South Winooski St., and I absolutely love their buffalo chicken pizza. I think that they have perfected the art. If anyone knows where I can get a better buffalo chicken pizza, let me know, and I will travel there (Side note: Grace Spain has informed me of a buffalo chicken pizza even better than Mr. Mikes. It’s called Mimmo’s and it’s in essex and they have the “best buffchick pizza she’s ever had.” I gotta make a side trip and make the call, myself. Good looks Grace. So pumped.) So, the buff chick is the good/greatest thing about Mr. Mikes. In general, they’ve got good ‘za and they’re open mad late for all you kids who tend to indulge in the later hours of the night.

As much as I love their buffalo chicken pizza, I had the unfortunate urge to use the restroom. Lawdy lawd the place was absolutely disgusting. Let’s follow up with some pictures and descriptions. Side note: This is the men’s bathroom, if anyone would like to evaluate the women’s bathroom please let me know at: chad@presmusic.com

Is this the worst bathroom in Burlington?

That was a disgusting bathroom. If you decide to poop, you must prepare with paper towels, make sure no one else is going to use it (possibly by having a friend watch the door), situate yourself above the toilet because there is no toilet set, and do your uncomfortable business. Bottom line is: step yo game up, Mr. Mike’s. People are noticing.

I have high hopes, though. If you applied the same hard work that you apply to the dedication of the creation of your buffalo chicken pizza to the dedication towards cleanliness bathroom, that bathroom would be the talk of the town. However who am I? Just a DJ from town with clean habits. More to come with music news, but I just figured that I’d inform the masses of Burlington of where you should, and where you shouldn’t do your business.

Hype ‘Em!

Hyped!

Yo everyone! My Three 6 Mafia remix was posted on the popular music blog First Up! I’m so pumped that it’s getting promoted. As a result of the remix being on firstup.se, the Feel It remix is now on The Hype Machine. This is really cool for me. It’s my first time being on hypem. It was posted on Sunday night, and it’s already in the top 50 most tweeted songs on the twitter charts. In order to tweet about the track you can go to THIS LINK. In order to put it on your facebook wall you can click THIS LINK.

Firstup.se was the first to post my remix, but other blogs have posted it as well. Visit Room-Noise to see it featured on remix Fridays. Big thanks to Felicia and Constance Chan for posting my remix. It’s positive encouragement for me to keep doing what I’m doing. New music and material coming soon. I’ve got a couple more remixes and possibly an original coming your way. Maybe I’ll finally post one of my music videos. What? I made music videos? For what song? I guess you’ll just have to wait and see.

Thanks for all of the awesome support you guys! Keep it coming, and I’ll keep working hard to get you the tracks that you deserve. You’re the best. On an unrelated note, here’s an awesome movie mashup I found (via Buzzfeed):


Back Again

The Talented Mr. Brimley

Well folks, I’m back. In case you’re wondering who that handsome buffalo is with the snappy shades, he is the apartment beer fund bank, Wilford Brimley, and that’s just him chillin’ out, maxin’, and relaxin’ all cool. It has been some time since my last post, but I come bearing gifts and a wealth of knowledge about the goings on both with music production and DJing. I have been a busy bee.

First off, I recently finished a remix of a new track by Three 6 Mafia featuring Sean Kingston, Flo Rida, and Tiesto. I premiered it last night at Rasputin’s, where DJ Dan and I rock Burlington the right way, every Thursday night. That’s not what you’re interested in, though. So, here you go (right/control click + Save As):

Feel It Remix

Hope you like it.

In addition to that, I’m working on another remix, and I have one original in the works. Recently though, most of my music has been dedicated to producing music for the videogame Planck for the company Shadegrown games. Props to Brenton Woodrow for hooking that up. It’s been really fun making music for them, and I will post updates of our progress as they come up. Right now you can check out a video of a someone playing our first level/first song mental breakdown and get a brief description of the game here.

I’m still interning at the The Lab, and that’s always a good time. I’m shadowing lessons now, and just trying to learn as much as I can. The Lab might also start their own Internet radio which has potential to be pretty illin’. While I’m on the topic of radio, you can check me out on WRUV for the funk, soul, disco, and hip-hop show Beat Therapy. If you don’t live in Vermont, you can listen to it here.

I’m gonna post pictures and stuff from past events so that you all can see yourselves ballin’ out of control. Keep checking back. I’m busy, but that just means I’m gonna keep giving you free music. Feels good to be back.

PEACE TWICE
