“Hear You Me” Cover Song Series
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
“Tiny Vessels” 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
House #24: Marc Salvadori*
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*
A Real Champagne Birthday
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

Metro Chicago Presents Jimmy Eat World Live
This blog is a continuation of Lolzafest 2021: Part 1, my review of day 1 at Lollapalooza Chicago. Feel free to read that first, or go on ahead without the context. Since I no longer had complimentary coffee service to look forward to, my first real stop of the day on Friday July 30th was a local coffee shop. It was my 31st birthday and … Continue reading Metro Chicago Presents Jimmy Eat World Live

The Legend of Pol Roger
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
