still no internet at my new place until friday but it is seriously beautiful. i want everyone i know to come visit me and take a bath in our jacuzzi tub (it will pummel you to within an inch of conciousness with water jets in all the right places), play NES in the living room and Mahjong on the balcony, take up instruments in our music room, be ( Read more... )

i'm pretty tired and about to go to bed but my head won't shut up. i've had some mild insomnia that past week or so which, i think, is indicative that i have a lot on my mind. i didn't get to sleep until 6:30am one night last week, which is ridiculous. it's been a bit better of late but i can still feel my brain humming inside my skull ( Read more... )

Rolf, Stephanie and I will be moving into this amazing four-bedroom place on Florence, a couple blocks east of Bronson. We were quite lucky to find the place as we got a great deal which will enable us to use one bedroom as a common office - no more ( Read more... )

i'm a pretty happy fellow at the moment. firstly, after four days in the studio the acorn has finished our next album. it's not the big grant one, but one that just kind of came about somewhat unexpectedly when we had a few songs that weren't going to make the grant album and then a few more popped out - six in total. we had several of our ( Read more... )

wow wow wow. today/tonight i was so very lucky to have taken part of Fuse, CBC radio's program where they take two artists/bands and smash 'em together and then they play with each other in front of a live audience. the acorn was extremely fortunate to have scored Denise Djokic (cello) and David Jalbert (piano), two acclaimed classical musicans ( Read more... )
