Popped downstairs today to take some measurements of what I hope will become Synth Cave 3.0 this fall. So far it’s still full of props etc. from the theatre company that used to have the space, but that’s all being rearranged into other areas of the building, so imagine it […]

Follow up from yesterday’s post about some goofy synchronicities stemming from a couple conversations joking about dick pics etc. I’d been going to go to a show tonight but it got cancelled so I’ll be doing my usual radio show instead. Which means I need caffeine and candy, which I […]
Well, it’s been a bit of a crazy week, which I guess is fitting for the lead-up to the full moon. Let’s see here… I guess the start of the week was all about frustrations with one project/album that’s already been delayed for 6 months is starting to look like […]
Days like this I think there’s something to the theory that 1. there’s no such thing as a coincidence and 2. the universe has a sense of humor. A couple days ago someone I follow on Twitter [personal account, not @maQLU] was asking about if girls really do want to […]
I speak not in terms of actual conduct with people you do business with [even if some people in this industry need a good hard throttling] but in terms of image, attitude, and sound. Nice is boring. So is pretty. So is polished. Am I the only one who ever […]
So, apparently this week Futureghosts is back on the ol’ Canadian college radio charts: #6 on the electronic top 10 at CFBX in Kamloops, BC and #10 on the electronic top 10 at CHUO in Ottawa. Sweet! Also, somehow I missed this til just now, but last week Futureghosts also […]
So I finally got around to writing that booze song I’ve had an idea for since last August. Thinking about it for a year, then it only took half an hour to actually write it. Thinking maybe “Sapphire” is a good title, especially considering the inspiration tonight.
First note of the bassline for “Membrane” caught on “film”. Using the SH-32 from MIDI programmed in ProTools.
Technically a two-week update since I forgot last week… 1. Video for “Trouble Thing”: Whipped this up last night, then went on a downloading rampage for more weird old 40s and 50s educational videos to use in future archival footage stuff. I plan to get one made for each of […]
Bob Lefsetz on artists having something to say, more specifically he’s talking about Joni Mitchell: Bob Lefsetz: “Woman of Heart and Mind”
So today is “SOCAN Day,” that quarterly payout of artist royalties for airplay on radio, TV, etc. through Canada’s performing rights society (equivalent to ASCAP). I fucking hate SOCAN Day, because for me as for anyone else getting airplay primarily through Canadian college radio, it’s pretty much a big middle […]
Found my old photography portfolio hard drive tonight as I’ve got to sort through and find certain shots for album art. This isn’t one of the shots I’ll use for the next EP, but I thought this would be a fun one to share. The guy is from some porn […]
Ken’s starting to wonder if Barbie really does have a medical degree. I mean, sure she’s got the “I Can Be A Veteranarian” playset and she does keep dressing up as both a nurse and a doctor, but he can’t shake this feeling like maybe the solution to seasonal allergies […]
