Young Team...

Sweet moses, look at how wasted we got the other night after Mogwai. Wow, what an amazing night. The show was awesome and the bar we hit called the "Underground" was just as fun. The rest of the boys went out after hours, while Karlie carried me back to Rusty's apartment.

Please go visit my friend Frank's site called www.chromewaves.net

He has a shitload of images up from that concert, and they're great.

This weekend is my birthday, and I'm feeling totally depressed instead of being excited. I know, it's just 26, but I found grey hairs in my almost non-existant beard, and the third chin is getting to be a little much. My dreams of becoming something have been shelved for yet another year. Aw well, here's to 27 next year.

Thee Dumbest Post Ever....

Kar and I got new cell phones today, which ironically is the best I could come up with for the blog. We waited for like 15 mins to even talk to anyone, and when we did we got roped into going on the "couples plan" and we each have our own phone now. Awesome huh. Come bill time, we'll see how awesome it is.

Things with my company Mint Management are really starting to pick up. I landed some cool gigs for 2 of the bands I'm working with, and it truly makes me feel awesome to help them out. As a plug, check out www.performerz.ca and say hi. These guys helped me out big time.



I'm in the midst of setting up the Podcast at www.redransom.com and it should be online as of midnite tonight.
Please listen to it! It took lots of hard work choosing what stuff to play, and if all goes well, it could lead to full time employment!

Tomorrow night is Mogwai at the Phoenix with Kar, Pete and Rusty.
Wish us Luck. Pics and a full report on the show for weds!

Monday May 15 Program:

Abbey - Subtle Days
Tilly & The Wall - Lost Girls
Keene Bros. - Heaven's Gate
Marble Index - Same Schools
Grandaddy - Where I'm Anymore

It's My Birthday this weekend. You'd better call me and see what's going on.

OH OH OH! CAL AND CLAIRE ARE GETTING MARRIED! CALL THEM TO SAY CONGRATS! Love you guys!

Hello and Goodbye!

Wow, it's been a while hasn't it? I went on a huge break because I'm doing this other blog about my progress at the gym....http://www.therock.fm (click the beer gut on the home page.) My company is paying for my trainer and gym membership, so I kinda have to use it and write about it. However, that shouldn't stop me from entertaining the 2 of you who read this blog, so I'm back baby!

Mogwai play the Phoenix this Tuesday and I'm going to be interviewing them at the venue around 3 o'clock. Afterwards I'll meet up with Pete and Rusty and get weird. Cannot wait.

Since my last post, I've done interviews with Nick from Death Cab and that guy up there. He's Jason Lytle from Grandaddy and they're put out their final album, called "Just Like The Fambly Cat." It's a beautiful album and I really encourage you to get it. If you want a copy of the interview special, email me and I'll send one to you. As for the album, it's their last. The band is officially broken up and this is the good bye album, sigh.

I bought Wilco Tickets, 120.00 later. Better be a damn fine show! Also, I found out I get to go to Lollapalooza in Chicago this August. That'll be sweet....

As for MUSIC stuff, my band played last week at the Elvis, and we're back there on June 3rd. Come see us!

Highly recommended listening:

Keene Brothers - Blues and Boogie Shoes
Grandaddy - Just Like The Fambly Cat
Built To Spill - You In Reverse
Gravenhurst - Fires In Distant Buildings
Calexico - Garden Ruin
