This blog is part 6 in an ongoing series. If you missed it, jump back to part 5. The next session date was originally scheduled for July 20th, but as the day approached it had to be moved.

In our e-mail back and fourth trying to re-schedule, I … Continue reading Series: Am I Being Scammed By… My Music Producer? Part 6 – The Second Session

This blog is part 4 in an ongoing series. If you missed it, jump back to part 3 here.

This blog is part 3 in an ongoing series. If you missed it, jump back to part 2 here.

What the Fuck, Greig Nori?
I was a pretty big Sum 41 fan way back when and I’ve been following them since they exploded onto the Canadian music scene. I’ve talked about it before, but I was particularly interested in the unique relationship between them and Treble Charger – it turns out it was a bit different than I expected. A few months ago I pre-ordered Deryck Whibley’s memoir, Walking … Continue reading What the Fuck, Greig Nori?
