I played a new song last night which is kind of cool. Anyway, I came home today and thought I should share it.
Here’s a quick video for you.

Back, Finally.
Fuck, the last 2 weeks have been brutal. As some might know, I had my wisdom teeth out which absolutely knocked me on my ass. Not enough painkillers in the world. But I’m finally back to normal, minus the ability to open my mouth far enough to eat normal food. I had a Thai sub on Saturday night that was a huge challenge to enjoy. There shouldn’t be challenge involved in such a delicious treat. Thai Thai, I love you.
Anyway, went out and opened up the acoustic show at Vern’s in Calgary last night. Something fucked up happened with my guitar and their PA and for the whole set the guitar sounded distorted. Some people thought it was intentional, so I guess I should have just shut up and let that ride. Otherwise, it was one of my most comfortable sets despite the mout I’M BACK. h pain. I feel good about things to come.
Also played a new song last night that’s kind of fun to play. Now that we’re living in a more accommodating space for me to make music, I’m feeling really excited to get to work on some new stuff. Like uhh yeah.
Anyway, as the obnoxious caps in the title suggest, I’m back.
It’s great to see you again. Have you lost weight? It shows, you look great.

Lack of Updates
Still in copious amounts of pain from the removal of my wisdom teeth. But the swelling has gone done significantly, and I’ll be fine for the show on Sunday.
But until then, I’ll likely be in bed.
Just awesome.
Had three wisdom teeth taken out yesterday so, understandably, I’m a little cranky. Now, I’m locked out of the house in slippers and a robe. Yeah, just fucking awesome.
We’ll Talk Soon
So, I will be away from the site for a few days. Taking a trip for a little while.
Stay cool, I’ll miss you.

Songs From A Basement #4
They played one of my songs on the radio last night. A local station has a local musician program and picked one of the songs I sent in. It wasn’t really one I wanted them to play, but fuck it. I just wish I had heard it.
Its been a bit of a tough week, been drinking a lot. The hangovers are getting worse as the number of consecutive nights I’m drunk gets larger. I haven’t had a lot to do, not a lot of people have come around the place lately and I really only have enough money for a bag of white rice and a bottle of whiskey. You find interesting ways to make plain rice interesting when its the only thing in your pantry. I sometimes steal salt packets from fast food place I pass by, so that’s nice.
I have plans to head out to my parents house this weekend which means actual meals for a few days. Can’t explain how excited I am about this.

Avalanche
I’ve been listening to Matt Good’s Avalanche today and it still sounds amazing to me as it did when I first heard it years ago. Its amazing the way certain songs take you back in time, this particular album taking me back to high school. I remember laying in bed and listening to “House of Smoke and Mirrors” at 2am and wishing I could write a song that good. I had only had a guitar for a few months at that point, so it was a ways off.
Its nice to remember back then, before I had ever written a piece of music, laying in bed wondering if I could do it.
