oh the perfect messy confusion and reckless pain that is releasing a new album. here is a home demo from the forthcoming 'a date with a smoke machine'. it's due in early '09 and all being well, some version of this song will lead off the record. but really, what does 'all being well' truly mean in indie rock?
with cottage season ending, i've been recently thinking of this old song i wrote years ago that managed to incorporate the names of two girls i once knew in the title. i know...clever.
here's my cover of a superconductor song i meant well rendering a bunch of years ago. i love this song. when keith sent me the lyrics i was thrilled. probably my fave carl newman song ever and the guy has had some doozies! ;)
yeah, it's bitter, but it's fun and every word is true. here's an early version of this song that pre-dates the one from 'sell out slow'. this one is faster. but really, the acorn's cover of it is way better.
this track is from the kelp 13 compilation 'kelpmitzvah', released on kelp records, april '07. a song about thinking you know the plan, have the plan and understand the plan, but lack the shit needed to execute the plan.
this is the original demo written right after painting a beadboard ceiling and getting the flu. it was originally mused out on mandolin, hence the instrument of choice here.
this song is the lead off track from 'sell out slow', when i was using the stage-alter-ego-whatever-name the glen nevous retraction (that's nevous pronounced 'NEV-iss'. what's worse than being in a no-name indie band? being a no-name indie band from the middle of nowhere. scene? what scene. :)
a song from the 1996 album 'apocalypse cow', originally appearing on cd on lance rock in canada and get hip records in the states on glorious, well-to-do vinyl. note the ode to wkrp in cincinnati at the end.
ottawa, ontario, canada's incredible kelp records. home to much of the music on these pages and so much more. speak to jon bartlett about having a party on your road.
home to amazing vinyl releases and kelp's western canada partners in crime. come to one of our bbq's and you'll get a taste! toronto, montreal, austin and counting. rebels united!!
great web space for me, camp radio and the stand gt. but get in there and explore all the fantastic indie canadian talent (andrew vincent's 'bahamas' is streaming on web radio as i type this. good vibes? good vibes).
a guy i know knows a guy who helped start this in the uk. he's probably doing well now. i always say i need to spend more time in here, and you should too.
you can only have so much web presence right? i mean, after all, how the hell do you keep it all up? one day we can all decide on some internet gathering utopia and settle. 'til then, there are places like myspace. no, i'm not on facebook. see? i drew a line.
