Note: I posted a version of this last year, but came back to further trim this blog down to basically bragging about chart positions. Plus some of the info from the 2024 version is now out of date, so here’s a touch-up. Dear random stranger stumbling upon this abandoned shack […]

On July 2, 2013 I almost drowned on an afternoon kayaking expedition in Sechelt Inlet. I hadn’t quite gotten the rudder pedals adjusted correctly, so I wasn’t able to steer right, and as I was drifting off course I ended up sideways to the incoming waves and got turned over. […]
Alright, figured I’d post a little blurb about my opening set at the Marine Pub this past Saturday May 24 in Burnaby. Also on the bill: We Found a Lovebird and The Furniture. I had a 20 minute block and had originally going to be playing electric [probably my Gibson […]
Came out of my jam space to use the washroom this afternoon and saw this guy sitting very still in the hallway: I’ve seen mice around here before, but never sitting still in the open. Particularly considering that usually they bolt if they see me. I actually thought he might […]
After meaning to rewrite my bio for at least six or seven months, I finally got around to it tonight. It’s a bit tongue in cheek as hey, the next album’s still a ways out and this blog is currently more about what I’m listening to than what I’m doing […]
What album could you listen to on repeat and never get sick of? And my answer was: Well, Crystal Pistol was actually my second choice, but I figured they’d break out the tar and feathers if I said Guns N Roses’ Appetite For Destruction. Y’know, thou shalt never acknowledge owning […]
I was going to write a long and detailed post about what happened to me earlier this week but fuck it, this isn’t a diary. Long story short: I just about died on Tuesday stuck under an overturned kayak before I’d learned to self-rescue. No exaggeration: I couldn’t free myself […]
Not that I’m one for doing something just because everyone’s doing it, but since I do sometimes do a live cover of this, I figured I’d finish up recording a version and stick it up on YouTube. Cover of Nickelback’s “Figured You Out.” There’s a few tracks I’m working on […]
Podcast of my set on CiTR Radio’s 24 Hours of Radio Art January 17 2013 … in which I played Shrug in its entirety. Probably the last time I do anything that huge for 24 Hours of Radio Art, next year I think I’ll stick to a smaller one-hour slot.
Sitting in the DJ booth at CiTR Radio during 24 Hours of Radio Art, airing the 3 hour long series of compositions I created for this (“Shrug“). Thinking a couple things: 1. It’s better than I thought (there’s usually a gap in between finishing any album and being happy with […]
Well, I guess it’s a good time to look back on the last year. Not going to go into too much detail, it’s all in the blog somewhere or other from when these things were fresh… Kicked off the year with a stint on CiTR Radio’s annual 24 Hours of […]
Logged on to Twitter this afternoon to see a post from Dave Ogilvie saying that Bill “Kill” Kennedy had passed away today. Bill was one of the best engineers in the business, and a great producer too. Best known for working with Megadeth, he worked with loads of acts, from […]
So last night as I was leaving the synth cave at about 3am, I had a wad of Kleenex with some orange peels in it to toss in the garbage in the common kitchenette for the jam spaces. No one’s around so I lobbed it into the can from about […]
As I’ve mentioned before, I DJ at CiTR Radio in Vancouver. So, I get the emails with the playlist add information and I was pleased to see the following little mini-review blurb for Futureghosts officially being added this week [a few of my fellow DJs at CiTR already have digital […]
