Free music? Who doesn’t like FREE?! Hey, remember Wolfmother? No? Well, they were a kick-ass Aussie power-trio that sort of broke up but not really. By that I mean the lead singer kept…

Record Store Day redux. Man, I wish I had a tape recorder last night since it was at about midnight that I lucidly strung together all of my objections about record store day and…
An addendum to today's earlier post. →
An addendum to today’s earlier post. I just came across these Tweets from last night’s French Kicks show: U.S.E. has moved on to Blur self-titled/13 territory and French Kicks are just as blah as…
One of the benefits of living with me. →
One of the benefits of living with me. Sometimes I get messages like this:
@shellster129:I feel like I just moved into a record store. AND ITS AWESOME
In that record store (a.k.a….

Wherein Record Store Day forces me to confront that which I never wanted to admit; or, how I learned to stop hoping and accept a once good friend’s irrelevance. WARNING: The following is a…

The City of Angels has concrete wings and a heavenly glow. Granted, I’ve only seen a portion of Los Angeles, driven through Hollywood and the near freeways and then Arcadia, and must…

Allowing people to read full posts in RSS feeds… Consider this a PSA for the week. I know lots of people truncate posts in the hopes of driving traffic to their site. This thinking is…
Surry! →
Surry! Yesterday was, literally, a 24+ hour workday. I’m in Surry, BC. And now I think I need some breakfast before work today. And some COFFEE.
I'm up! →
I’m up! Catching a 5:45 a.m. flight is FUN! Wheeee! (Or that’s just the coffee talking.) I’ll be in the air off and on a total of 13+ hours today. On the downside, um, I get nervous when…

Ting Tings were fun fun. I got A LOT of great shots at last night’s Ting Tings show at Metro. I was hoping to have them up to day but I don’t think I’m going to get them up until tomorrow. It…

Travis Bickle: Mall Cop Based on the commercials running on TV right now, a lot of people are going to be incredibly shocked by what kind of movie Observe And Report actually is. It…
1996? →
1996? I’m guessing — due to the fact that both Schifeling (a.k.a. Little Jim to the far right (your right) of this photo and I (in the electric blue suit (that I still own)/ both have short…
