Well, this is it. I have accepted a new position at work, so for the next two months I will be hauling my sleep deprived self all the way down to Powell & Victoria. The big news is that I’ve been placed in charge for this hiatus. I always knew it would happen eventually, just [...]

getting over it

20Dec08

Christmas is fast approaching, a mere handful of days are left to go. I’m busying myself by coughing up all sorts of mucus and phlegm in the morning and consuming as many tissues as I can without eroding my nostrils so there is only a single ‘nostril’ remaining. Thankfully, after a chaotically busy saturday, my [...]

out in the cold

I’m three Kronenbourgs and a Caeser into the night. What better time to write a post about nothing than now? Let’s kick things off with some Yo Majesty, because they are everything aweseome right now on my stereo.

Actually to be honest that’s not whats playing right now. I’ve spent most of the week listening [...]

Within spitting distance of my home is a new 24hour Thai & Vietnamese restaurant (Literally called 24/7 Thai Cuisine). This is a blessing as I do find myself and company hungry at hours the normal populace would consider “well past bedtime”. The menu is quite varied and full of delicious curries, soups, and rice dishes. [...]

A couple months ago my bike was stolen right from my patio. Invasion of my privacy aside, this was also my transportation when I am not using my illegitimate Simon Fraser bus pass. Since the bus pass is about to expire I went browsing the ditches of Craigslist for a new bicycle. Below is the [...]

Mike Cadoo, one of the founding members of the now defunct Gridlock, has let out a new release under his bitcrush project. This project picked up where Gridlock left off, in this weird but nice middle-world between electronic and acoustic music.
Epilogue in Waves is the third album and therefore phase of constantly evolving sound [...]

Since I haven’t posted anything for over a month, nor since last year, I’ll make due by showcasing some of the music I’ve been into lately. For your benefit of course.

I posted this album back in the fall when I was listing off some good possible gift choices for my birthday. Well, I finally got [...]

I’ve been playing about with Montreal company Plogue’s Bidule lately and having a fair bit of fun. It’s a modular piece of software that lets you basically plug into whatever device you need in real time as you are creating sound. It’s not your standard music creation software, designed more for live performance music and [...]

I listen to a lot of Coil. Maybe a little too much. Next to Michael Gira’s work, Jhonn Balance occupies the second most listened to artist slot in my music listening habits over the past year.
Ape of Naples was the last studio recorded album before the death of Balance which adds a very eerie [...]

just cut it off

More music, more Swans. The last studio recording put out while side projects of Gira and Jarboe were starting to shape into more absolute pathways, Soundtracks for the Blind feels far more sinister throughout than their already dark and depressive catalogue. If asked what track on this two disc set is a favourite I would [...]
