Sisterlovers

Thursday, November 30th, 2006


Something weird happened when I heard this band, I actually liked them. I’m not usually keen on acid pop rock but they have potential and you can actually put their album on if you’re in the right mind frame. They’ve got a sound that might bring you out of a mood… or put you in [...]

Snow

Wednesday, November 29th, 2006


It’s snowing like crazy here in the Vancouver/Lower Mainland area. Snow like we don’t see very often here on the left coast of Canada. I was thinking about heading out to my studio in my garage this evening to do some recording, but damn, it’s too cold. So maybe it’s the snow, or maybe america’s [...]

Naturedevil

Tuesday, November 28th, 2006


What do you get when you take Kurt Cobain, Dave Grohl, Gerry Rafferty and one of the best movie soundtracks ever? Well, minus a saxophone and you have the sweet sounds of NatureDevil. Part of the magic of music is that it can trigger memories. As was the case with the song We’re [...]

Snowy Times

Tuesday, November 28th, 2006

Temptation

Monday, November 27th, 2006


Do you ever find your self wandering around a musical instrument store looking, drooling, dreaming? I found myself with some time to spare the other day, and near a store of said type. I have spent absurd amounts of money on musical equipment over the years, yet I still always need, or want more. [...]

Radio Corruption

Tuesday, November 21st, 2006


Does anyone else feel like it’s time for a real Rock Revolution? We need to take the power back and reclaim the airwaves. I mean I’m only 30, born in 1976, and grew up listening to Corey Hart, Bryan Adams, Men At Work, Journey, ect… I mean my parents didn’t even listen to rock music. [...]
