How’s your Wednesday been so far dear readers? Really excellent I hope! And not bogus either! It seems that music is on my mind as of late. So many events happening in the music industry and a cacophony of thoughts in my mind just keep this train of sound moving ever forward. Which is why I’ve…
Passion Pit is one of those bands that a lot of people really like, and which I can see the value of, but just aren’t for me. I’ll try to out my finger on it dear readers, just for you. Take for instance, the song Take A Walk. In the music video, the director wants…
I wish I knew more about jazz, other than that I like it of course. It’s one of those musical formats that permeates music culture but which is so open ended that I find it overwhelming to participate in discussion about it – Most of the time. Today’s album review is one of those times…
What if you only had a few more months left to live? How would YOU spend YOUR time? Would you stay at the shitty job you took to get your career started or because you didn’t know what to do with yourself, or would you restructure pretty much everything so that you could finally do the things…
In what seems to be a week (or maybe weak) of nostalgia related thoughts, I decided to share more with you lovely readers and expand upon yesterday’s post. This is especially cool for the local Edmonton crowd, but I of course think it will be rather relevant for my larger group of loyal international readers too. Remember your first love? We’ve all…
On the more morbid side of things, I’ve been thinking about mortality quite a bit this past week. But with good reason my friends. It just seems like the music industry has been taking hit after hit over 2015. We saw the passing of Scott Weiland, Ian Fraser “Lemmy” Kilmister, B.B. King, and not even…
There is something to be said about sepia tones and using them to evoke mood and timelessness. When I was an art student I experimented with limited palettes on the regular, and I discovered that it was in those moments of restriction that I could be more free with other elements of my art. For…
Did you ever make mix tapes as a kid growing up? I know I was fortunate enough to experience those little cassette joys before the CD became popular and then the mp3, and now we have streaming services instead. Technically the mix-tape as it was originally created no longer exists. That’s because music is no…
For serious, it’s Sunday evening already? Man, time flies when you are having fun cleaning up the administrative mess left over from the previous year. I’ve spent the better part of the weekend filing away emails, pictures, receipts and all manner of boring stuff that I only need occasionally, but regret it when it isn’t…
In December of 2014, I wrote about a longstanding goal of mine and efforts I had made to set it up so I could eventually achieve it! That goal was The Watch List. I’ve referenced this goal a few times on this blog, because it’s a fun topic and seems a little silly, but mostly because it…
