So, had some trouble with the sound quality in the video of my set from a couple weeks ago at VanMusic.ca’s Indie Pop Series XXV. Instead of posting video clips, I think I’ll just post a few stills. There’s some more on my Facebook page, too.
So last week blood.black.haze cracked the top 30 at my home station, CiTR Radio in Vancouver [I DJ here for the Vampire’s Ball, but believe me when I say I had nothing to do with it – wasn’t playing any of my own stuff lately], by squeezing on at #30. […]
So, decided to try an agogo part in the live version of “Lucky Paw” [kinda like a cowbell but less sucky]. Being that I forgot my drumsticks and mallets at home, I figured, aw, fuck it, and grabbed a Sharpie to use as a beater since I had a few […]
So, last night’s set on CiTR Radio‘s Live From Thunderbird Radio Hell went pretty well. I did have a couple of glitches. First, I was going to post one last “hey, tune in now” message with the above cell-cam shot of the set-up when the ol’ Crackberry decided to freeze […]

Funny, I was just thinking today about the practical applications of nuclear annihilation. Or was it a list of people I’d like to see vaporized by a neutron bomb? Anyway, noticed there is now an official upload of the remix I did for Virtual Terrorist of a song called “Thermonuclear […]
Well, that remix I was mentioning working on a few weeks back is now available for download: Filth (Maqlu edit) by Drowning Susan It’s the “Filth [Maqlu Edit]” on Drowning Susan’s new double album The Long Count. 20 tracks in total, all great – and best of all you can […]
First movement of a symphony I’m working on, in sonata allegro form. Technically not maQLu, but hey, might as well post it here. And I had to use the maQLu YouTube anyway due to the length of the piece. Title: Symphony No. 1: “Huntswoman’s Reverie.” [first movement in sonata allegro […]
