The Scramblers: “Just Can’t Shake It”: Was going to do “Rattle Snake Daddy” but no dice on YouTube. Or maybe I give up too easily/am lazy. Beautiful Creatures: “Goin’ Off”: Live at the Key Club, 2008 I think. Hossam Ramzy: “El Genneyya [The Djinni]: First belly dance class […]

Johnny Thunders: “Blame It On Mom”: Just got a copy of Have Faith, a posthumous live release recorded live in Tokyo in 1988. Killer blazing set. Couldn’t find the Have Faith live version on YouTube, whether that’s because it’s not there or just related to the wifi being shitty today […]
So, finally getting shit done for the next maQLu album [or I should say, resuming getting shit done, as the album is 70% complete and has been for quite a while]. Guitars are now done on “Voodoo.” That track just needs vocals and then it joins the “ready to mix” […]
… Every so often I actually get work done: Acoustic guitars now recorded on “Voodoo” for the new album. Would have gotten the electrics done except I left the Les Paul at home today, and that’s the guitar I want to use on this track. Oh well. Tomorrow is another […]
Nikki Palomino Dazed Johnny Thunders Remembered show 4/21/14 by We68 Radio on Mixcloud Fascinating discussion about Johnny Thunders
Blanked out last week. Or rather, it occurred to me to post this blog but I was in the middle of rehearsing for my set on Saturday and then it never popped back into my head. So… Johnny Thunders & the Heartbreakers: “It’s Not Enough”: Next song I’ll be working […]
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 […]
So iTunes just threw out “Raw Power.” And while listening in bliss, something popped into my head, a fragment of a conversation with a producer a while back about my voice. He who shall remain unnamed is a electro pop guy. So, overprocessed, auto-tuned to Hell and back, all smooth […]
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 […]

Just a week and a half to go until my show at the Marine Pub in Burnaby with The Furniture and We Found A Lovebird. This means it’s time to start practising while blasting audio from some of my favorite loudmouths: Adam Carolla, Howard Stern, Penn Jillette on the Opie […]
Well, nice to finally see some sun here in Vancouver. And warmth. Which is odd since I pretty much only see the sun while driving around, being mostly nocturnal, but it’s nice to know it’s out there somewhere on the other side of the jam space walls. Warmth being nice […]
Men at Work: “High Wire”: Woke up with this one in my head once or twice this week. Not sure if I’ve ever seen the video before, must have at some point. Guns n Roses: “Mama Kin”: Live at the Ritz in 1988. Latest song I’m working on in […]
Got the call yesterday that my ES-135 (Jeff) was now all better and ready for pickup from Rufus Guitar Shop, couldn’t get there yesterday so I popped by there today to get it. New frets are installed, and now it’s much easier to play, basically as easy on the action […]
