I’m a little late getting around to this blog post, but in my defence I sort of hate talking about this one. I did a 3-part YouTube series on my acoustic cover of “Hear You Me” by Jimmy Eat World back on July 9th 2021; I live-tweeted this event, much like I live-tweeted today’s “Tiny Vessels” – Death Cab For Cutie 3-Part cover song series. … Continue reading “Hear You Me” Cover Song Series
I don’t really have a good title for this type of series yet, so this will have to suffice for now. Today I released 3 videos as part of my Wayback-Playback Wednesday acoustic cover song series. Normally, when I do these Wednesday covers they’re all sort of created and released in the same format. I talk a bit about this on this other blog post … Continue reading “Tiny Vessels” Cover Song Series
I grew up on a court in a well-known suburb of Woodbridge, Ontario. The kind of court where everyone more or less knew each other, because between me and my 3 older siblings, we were friends with all the other kids on the street. We’d play ball hockey on the road, or basketball, or just go back and fourth between each others houses. As long … Continue reading House #24: Marc Salvadori*
I think it’s probably about time to share the rest of my Champagne Birthday story. For the first half of the day, you’ll want to start with my previous blog titled The Legend of Pol Roger. You can skip down to the July 29th heading, but it really makes more sense with the full context of the entire post. July 30th: An Unwelcome Visit It … Continue reading A Real Champagne Birthday
Today’s spin feature is “Rite of Spring” by Angels & Airwaves. This is off of Angels & Airwaves second full-length release “I-Empire”. Here are the lyrics, written of course by Thomas Delonge: I was locked all day in the summer heatIn a small brown house in suburban streetsWith a skateboard and my shit guitarI dreamed all day that they would get me far My dad … Continue reading Record 2
On July 28th, 2020 I recorded and posted a video on my YouTube channel. I’m going to post it below, but fair warning, this video has been flagged by people close to me as unsettling, so you might feel the same. There’s nothing graphic, but I do say “the F word” and cry a little (a lot). If that’s not up your alley, don’t view … Continue reading The Legend of Pol Roger
Growing up listening to punk rock bands I started to develop and interest in tattoo’s. Honestly, I’m sort of really not into needles at all, so for a long time I wasn’t sure I’d ever get one. A friend of mine who has several told me the best advice I’ve ever heard about getting them, “think long and hard about what you want and why … Continue reading A Word On Tattoo’s & Clarity
Now this is embarrassing. In December 2020 I reached out to two friends who have small children and asked them what their favourite song or show was without any context as to why I was asking. One of them told me her daughter was really into Aerosmith, specifically “Dude Looks Like A Lady” which I found hilarious because she was 4 at the time. So … Continue reading Christmas 2020 Special Acoustic Covers
This will be an ongoing series of blogs where I feature a single song that is in some way special to me personally or I just really think you guys might dig. Today we’ve got “World Spins Madly On” by The Weepies. When I first heard this song in high school I loved it so much I posted the lyrics on my Facebook Notes (I … Continue reading Record 1
In 8th grade drama class (if memory serves me correctly, otherwise it was for home-room) we were tasked with writing a creative story. I imagine we were given the freedom to write about whatever we felt like, so I chose to write about one of my then-favourite bands Blink182. Here is the hard copy. The Three Little Blink Boys: A short story by Jaimee Jakobczak … Continue reading The Three Little Blink Boys
