Here’s a video interview I did with lead singer and songwriter from Broadcast Radio, a rockin sweet band playing our Indyish Birthday show, a Mega Monthly Mess happening, as you may have heard, tomorrow at Sala Rossa (Aug 9 2008.)

And here’s a video they made during their recording process in Hotel2Tango:

I’m not big on showy playing, but I definitely like watching guitarists who are much better than me to get a sense of what’s possible if I practice. A few months ago, when I was first taking up guitar, a friend mentioned Kaki King as someone to listen to if I was looking for interesting [...]

Part Two of The Single and The Music Industry, read Part One.
In the beginning, there was the piano.
In the year 1800, the first true upright piano was invented in Philadelphia by John Isaac Hawkins, and this smaller and cheaper (in comparison to the full grand piano) instrument grew to become a required item [...]

Music Thing is a great blog if you’re on the slightly nerdy side of music-making. It’s the type of thing my friends have probably been reading for ages, but for whatever reason I just discovered recently. Music Thing is the journalistic follow-up to sites like Make and BoingBoing Gadgets. If you’re a regular DIY enthusiast [...]

Here are the lyrics to 2 of the original songs we sing with the LadiesAux…

Our friend Jeff (of the 20th project and The Desks) is inviting people to collaborate on a song he recorded in December. He’s posted an mp3 of the track here and stated,
If you can think of some good parts to add (eg drums, piano, vocals, tuba, etc) please play along and record your new part. [...]

I decided to post about Record Production Month because I think it’s nifty, and rather similar to some of the Indyish Assembly stunts that have been pulled off in the past. The RPM challenge (www.rpmchallenge.com) is to record at least 10 songs, or 35 minutes of original music, within the month of February. Sure, it’s [...]

So last week I had a great opportunity to do some guerilla recording with Vancouver psych-rock band It’s a Living Thing in my home studio. I was initially expecting a two person, electric guitar set up after having listened to some of their earlier work. To my surprise I was greeted by four members [...]

The blog is feeling a little lonely right now, I suppose everyone spent this weekend doing vacationy things as they well should have. I wish I could argue that I’ve been equally busy, but I’ve just been m.o.b. (missing on blog) while my laptop sits 2 feet away from me at all times. I’ve been [...]
