The end of summer and a new year (or what I did on my summer vacation)
So that’s it for another Summer. I must admit it has been a rather spectacular sunny season up here in the North East and I’m very sad to see it go. For those of us with kids, September is really the start of our year and we here in Junkie-land have quite a full one […]
Cootes Leland (nee Tim Gibbons) – Trail Of Smoke
For such a simple record this one has taken a long time to see the light of day. Tim started to drop-by our studio well over a year ago (maybe it was two years ago), just him and his guitar and banjo, he would record a few songs, and then I wouldn’t see him for […]
Tour Diary – Budapest (August 14, 2011)
It’s a long travel day to get from Toronto to Budapest, especially for one gig, but when we got the offer from the Sziget Festival and we did the math and realised that it was economically feasible, we jumped at the opportunity. Budapest is one of those cities that is not on the beaten path […]
Sing In My Meadow, volume 3 – My Little Basquiat
I know that we promised Volume 3 as accompaniment for those long summer road trips and then we amended that to late summer road trips, well I need to amend my amendment. The album is mixed, mastered and ready to go: eight songs, forty minutes of wailing and gnashing. But we need time to get […]
Cookie Crumbs, volume 9 – The Sphere
Cookie Bob has been busy. Here is volume 9 of his “taper” series. Most of this one is taken from a Buffalo show that we did back in 2004 during the One Soul Now tour. If you have bought the Clubhouse Subscription you can go in to the Clubhouse and download it for free, if […]
Sing In My Meadow, volume 3 – 3rd Crusade
It took me about seven days to recover from our little China jaunt. Waking up every day at 4am and having my brain switch off at around 3pm. Very hazy waking hours. A few days after returning, I made an attempt at going into our studio and starting the final mix for Sing in My […]

Clarence Anicholas Clemons, Jr. (January 11, 1942 – June 18, 2011)
From our friend Ron Wells: “When a great man dies, for years the light he leaves behind him, lies on the paths of men.”—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow “Maybe,’ I figgered, ‘maybe it’s all men an’ all women we love; maybe that’s the Holy Spirit-the human sperit-the whole shebang. Maybe all men got one big soul ever’body’s […]
Bruins 4 – Canucks 0
Once Montreal was eliminated from the playoffs I figured that it was my duty as a Canadian to root for the Canucks. So I watched most of their series (except for the one verses Nashville, two games of that was enough, it was some of the most boring hockey that I have ever watched). So […]
Beijing – June 5, 2011 (Day 5)
Gig day….finally. It’s been a great few days but we are ultimately here to play some music and we are all itching for the opportunity. This show has been balancing on a cliff edge for weeks, teetering and threatening to topple off into nowhere with the government and its various agencies giving it little not-so-innocent […]
