• Long time, no update....yikes!  Well, here we go......

• There are a couple of new things posted in the Articles section.  A piece I wrote in December 2002, and a newer piece from October 2004.  Both have never appeared on my site until now!

• In June I did a live performance for Fruit Loopz for the third year in a row!  I performed four of my songs on Saturday June 25th at the indoor stage at Tallulah's Cabaret (part of Buddies in Bad Times theatre, 12 Alexander St, Toronto.) The songs I performed were "Thick," "Friendship Men & Me," "Earnest & Young," and "King of the Clubs."

• I also appeared in drag as Wonder Woman on Sunday June 26th 2005 as part of the Toronto Pride celebrations!  Click here to see photos of me in costume, and also check out the drama with Fab Magazine!  Fab decided to make fun of my appearance in their Pride fashion critique, which you can see here. (Not the most flattering pic...) Then click here to see the column that featured my letter in response, and my friend Alex's letter. There's also a pic of me in costume on the official Toronto Pride site right here - I'm the 2nd pic in the 3rd row down in the 2005 Gallery.

• Check out my new Live Journal here: http://www.livejournal.com/users/arrikj/

• I'll be performing a 15 minute set of my music as part of the "Fruit Loopz" youth stage at 6:50pm on June 28th in front of Buddies In Bad Times theatre on 12 Alexander St. (Downtown Toronto.)  Whooo-hoooo!  Very exciting, and it takes place the day before Toronto Pride 2003!  Check out the Fruit Loopz page for more details!

• I also auditioned for Canadian Idol during the last week of May!  They filmed my audition, and I don't know if they will show it or not...but it was a fun experience!  Watch the show on CTV, starting June 9th at 8pm!  (The Toronto auditions will be on the 2nd or 3rd show!)

• New Remix!!!  Trenyce was one of the best performers on American Idol 2, and I knew I had to do a remix of this "audition" performance when I saw it on TV!  Powerhouse vocals, Diva growls, and a breakdown that includes Ryan Seacrest speaking some Idol-talk!

Trenyce - Love Sneakin' Up On You (Jensen's AI2 Diva Radio Mix)

Not only have Idol fans been buzzing about the mix, but Trenyce herself knows about it, and commented on it in a recent interview!!! 

Also, check out my new Yahoo Group Garth Jensen Remixes for the extended CLUB version of my Trenyce mix, which can be found in the "Files" section!

• CONTROVERSY ALERT!!! "King of the Clubs" is my latest entry in the ongoing war between Ginos & Gays!  This is the flip side to my earlier Adonis adventures 'cause the guy that inspired this song is NOT open minded.  Buzz for this song has already gotten me in trouble with Mr. Homophobic Gino dude himself.  Just remember: don't run me over in your MUSTANG!!!

• Remixes page updated!  Check out my Acidplanet.com contest entry for Geri King's "Not The Man For You."

• Performed my new song "Earnest & Young." My live performance of the tune took place at the 2002 Baby Oscars, April 5th!  Very fun event, where some great friends helped me put on a rockin' show!  Thanks to Sam, Newman, Andrew & Sarah!  Here's a pic from the show:

• I've just completed a new song called "Earnest & Young."  Uh...sort of inspired by the accounting firm and the many fine young men that work for it!  Since I'm young and trying hard to accomplish my goals, I myself am being "Earnest & Young" heh heh...  Ok, humor on the Net doesn't always work.  :-)  I'll be performing this song live at University of Toronto at Scarborough, 7pm in The Attic as part of "Open Mic Nite."  (Where I also will be performing my song "Woodbridge.")  I'm also hoping to stage a blockbuster performance of "Earnest & Young" at the "2002 Baby Oscars" being held April 5th in the Leigha Lee Browne theatre at U of T Scarborough.  Download is not available yet, but it will be soon!

• Major work still needs to be done for the "Searching For Adonis" play...rewrites coming, and hopefully it'll be on stage by this time (or sooner) next year!

Plenty of stress, drama, yada yada   :-)   There's a new Dance Mix completed of Alicia Keys' "Girlfriend" and an Alanis Morissette Megamix I've done.  Also, my play "Searching For Adonis" is now being considered for production next year.  But it'll be a bit longer before I find out if it will go on.  Meanwhile, at University, I keep having awkward encounters with the real-life "Adonis" that inspired the play.  Arrrrrgh   :-/   I just want to have a normal conversation with the guy before the school year ends.  What is a crazy boy like me to do?  Write auto-biographical musicals, and do remixes on the side?  (Ooops....I already do that!) 

Remix completed for Madonna's classic track "Deeper And Deeper." The remix is my entry in an official "Remix Madonna" contest sponsored by ACIDPlanet and Warner Bros. Music!!!

• Visit the Searching For Adonis page for more details about my crazy, wacky, yet fun musical project!  It's a play, it's a musical, it's life...and yes, that picture below is most definitely airbrushed!  (Me trying to look serious, sexy, and rebellious...it's an experiment I'm, uh, still working on!  Yeah, that's it...)

• I finished a new "editorial" called "Dare To Be Yourself" which is now posted here!  It may be published in the University of Toronto at Scarborough's newsletter "The Frequency" this coming January!

• Latest tracklistings of my radio show ("Dance Mah Sexsi People") are now up!  Check out the Radio Show Page.
