1 year already, eh??? OMG, i can't believe it!@#$%!!! PEACE doug... i miss you dear friend!!! thanks for all you taught me about life and the world we live in!!!

 

toronto (still) rocks!@#$%!!!

yo, sup!!! it's sipreano... um, duh!!!
i just spent the last two weeks in toronto, ontario, canada's L-A-R-G-E-S-T city!!!
it was two years since my last visit and it was fun to return to the land of my birth so close to my 40th (*thanks mom and dad)...
despite visiting old friends, old restaurants, and even a quick stop at my childhood home for a moment of reflection, this trip was brimming w/ the feeling of now!!! toronto definitely has a different pulse than vancouver and it was thrilling to be caught up in its energy and to actively participate and engage w/ it.

i'm gonna write more about this trip and post some pics soon, but first, a video...



*it's not unusual for me to be late to a party, but i wanna send a BIG shout out cratery's kaewonder who got me fully hooked on the sounds of toronto-based BADBADNOTGOOD while out east... jazz cigarettes, 1 speaker, and 2 LPs of mind-bending tracks was all it took. after a trip to the legendary kops records (and another to the equally legendary play de record, more on that one later), i was fully down for the crown... SORTED and SUPPORTED, it feels right!@#$%!!! PEACE

TDOT rock toronto rocks

thumbs down...

fantastic planet

*just got back from a week in toronto, ontario, my sometime home and source of great inspiration. it was amazing to see so many familiar faces, all vibing out and doing great things. the cratery cats, for one, two, and three, are definitely brewing up some tasty concoctions (and i'm not even talking 'bout the JD tennessee arcee). here's a pic from the mighty kaewonder as we set up to record at cratery HQ. watch this space for a link to an upcoming vinyl freak-out session w/ yours truly. thanks for the epic good times fellows!@#$%!!!
