A Word On Tattoo’s & Clarity
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
Christmas 2020 Special Acoustic Covers
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
Record 1
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
The Three Little Blink Boys
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
The History Of: Wayback Wednesday
Acoustic Cover Song Day Explained. Is this already too much detail about Crooked Forest? Let me know in the comments. Back in, we’ll call it March of last year, 2020, when I had pretty much just reached the point of, “okay, I think I want to try and share some of these songs with people,” I really wasn’t sure the best way to go about … Continue reading The History Of: Wayback Wednesday

Interview: Stephan James
From the interview archive. You recently won a Canadian Screen Award for your portrayal of Jesse Owens in Race – congratulations! What was your prep like for that with regards to training and diet? It was tough. When I found out I had gotten the role and was going to play Jesse, I knew immediately that I had my work cut out for me. I would train 3-4 times … Continue reading Interview: Stephan James
Interview: Olivia O’Brien
From the interview archives. When you posted your gnash cover song, did you intend to gain his attention? Were you surprised when it did? I definitely thought it was possible he would see it but I never thought he would contact me and give me free tickets to the show, let alone be interested in working together. When gnash reached out to you asking to … Continue reading Interview: Olivia O’Brien
Interview: Mark Consuelos
From the interview archives. You’ll be joining Riverdale as Hiram Lodge who, up until this point, has been working through his prison sentence. Is it intimidating playing such a highly anticipated and important character that was talked about so much in Season 1 but never seen? Intimidating, no. Exciting, yes. Although you didn’t see Hiram, he was very much present in season one. I have never had … Continue reading Interview: Mark Consuelos
