{A last year version of my favorite song from his set} The other night I tried on some new live music at my local sound spot The Habitat, and it fit perfectly! I only caught the last bit of the first act (I apologetically don’t remember his name) Vancouver based Adrian Glynn (thanks Karin!) and was [...]

I heard the most ridiculous & sad news this morning. Two nights ago someone broke into the SPCA that I volunteer at and stole the cash box. They broke a $300 glass door to get about $15. (= the lamest kind of dumb dumbs) Luckily they didn’t disturb or mess with the animals, but still, [...]

This time it’s the Province of British Columbia bringing you a handsome guide on how to make it in the wild. First published in 1976, this illustrated gem packs a powerful punch of information for those who wish to get back to the (far out) land. My favorite is “Navigating by dead reckoning”. Can’t wait [...]

It looks like I have a bit of a tree theme happening here this week. Not a bad thing I think. This book, put out by the Canadian Department of the Environment in 1969, is a graphic wonderland. I could easily see some of these as wallpapers or stationary. The graphic design, layout, and production [...]

Just to get warmed up for doing my A/V list page later this week, I wanted to share my favorite new music find. It’s a band from Vancouver, BC called Mother Mother. I saw them a few weeks ago and was really impressed. The video direction & design is also pretty great. Darker than my [...]
