we all hate it i think. the waiting. life online is so immediate it seems strange to be waiting for 53 days to let the record out:)

Ive used macs to make music forever. They have revolutionized the way we record and release, and freed musicians to think about songs rather than programing. I have loved watching the development of the hardware and the software through the different incarnations. The new album Wake Up and Say Goodbye coming on sept 23rd was recorded entirely on a Macbook pro and and mixed and mastered on a Mac tower using Logic 8.

if you are in montreal this coming week, we will be playing a show at their new flagship store downtown. its FREE so come early. we are on at 7pm on tuesday the 29th! (for those of you that dont know, im a big apple freak, and have been using macs for music and writing since…well the beginning:)

hey guys

Remember the photos that appear on the front page of the site (just to the right) are uploaded by you. (concert photos, david usher parties etc.) Just go to the flickr group to post your photos there. We approve most of them, but do edit some out if there are a lot that seem similar. Upload the ones you think are great:)

I am cactus, hear me roar:)

Don’t underestimate how important it is. Make something you love. It doesnt always work out but the point is to try. I was listening to Margaret Atwood on CBC and she was talking about if the point of poetry is to be active or passive. She said something one of her old teachers use to say was “is it alive or dead”. You may not always succeed but who cares. We try to make things that are alive. The internet allows us to do things we couldn’t before. Freedom. Thats why i love it.
