Nickelback blah blah Call Me Maybe blah blah Marianas Trench blah blah. Hobbies include: saying "fuck" and trying to be honest in a dishonest business.

I was lucky enough to see Bruce McCulloch's Tales of Bravery & Stupidity at Hollywood Theatre Vancouver on the first leg of the tour. I was even luckier to meet Bruce. He is a strange cat, but in the best way possible. And yes, i am aware of the irony of me calling someone else strange!

Very sorry to hear about the passing of Rob Pattee. Rob was a rarity in the music business. Honest, decent, fair and a man of integrity. My sincere condolences to his family and friends. A big loss for the Canadian music industry.

Well since the cat was apparently let out of the bag last night at the CCMA gala, VERY happy to announce that Wendy Boomer is joining the 604 Records country division! She brings a level of experience, professionalism & a work ethic that excites the shit out of me! Yay!

oh, and speaking of Wendy Boomer & the CCMA, congrats Wendy on winning the country music program of the year for Boomers Canadian Club. So excited for you to bring your winning ways to 604 Records!

Meanwhile, those who enabled, facilitated & turned a blind eye to this conduct (& the funding agency which financially supported those enablers) continue to work in the music industry like it's business as usual. To quote Zeppelin, your time is gonna come. tinyurl.com/bdfa58bc

If you've driven the highway between Sault Ste. Marie & Thunder Bay, you'll know that it is both gorgeous & absolutely secluded. No cell, no AM or FM reception, You can't even get Satellite Radio. So what pops on the radio as soon as reception returns? Of course, Call Me Maybe.

Last thought on Thornley album. i was at this video shoot. Is that really 20 years ago? Doesn't seem possible. We shot it at the gorgeous Chan Centre for the Performing Arts, and i love how the up-scaled version gives the venue some visual justice. Happy 20th anniversary! youtube.com/watch?v=EGgf1Z…
