Well, my Crackberry is a terrible camera for far-away things, gotta get a new point and shoot real camera, but I did get a couple decent shots from tonight’s Rammstein show at Rogers Arena in Vancouver: Just over an hour and a half for the main set, plus two encores. […]

Presuming it’s still 1985, that is. Programming drums into the drum machines. I’m used to my Yamaha RX8, which is from the early ’90s and arcane enough but the RX15 is a real relic. In some ways the RX15 is much simpler than the RX8 – fewer sounds, no non-drum […]
Cracked.com photoplasty: 21 Albums They Don’t Want You To Know About I say some of these might be an improvement, actually. Case in point: I also thought the Adele one was hilarious.
Was just flipping through the PDF version of the new Discorder Magazine and noticed on the monthly Top 50 chart for CiTR Radio at the back of it that my album blood.black.haze was #29 for the month of April. Sweet! if you’re in Vancouver, Discorder’s all around town as a […]
A year ago yesterday ago we finished mixing this album at Vogville Recording. I was acting as runner/assistant to the assistant [Kurt Maas] to the mix engineer [Dave Ogilvie]. Seems like a lifetime ago, so much has changed in my life and I think also for The Rabid Whole. So […]
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.
c0ndu1t just posted the brand new video for his single “Forever And A Day” off the new album Year of the Dead. Pretty cool!
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 […]
Listen tonight at 10pm Pacific on CiTR Radio 101.9FM in Vancouver or citr.ca for a live set from maQLu! Mostly new material to give you a preview of the next album!
Been thinking for a while about what to do about stage lighting – sure, some venues have their own rigs, others just flood the stage with white light and that’s that. And others are not specifically music venues so the lighting is more a matter of overhead flourescents, always flattering. […]
