Against The Rocks

“Smashing Us Against The Rocks, Against The Rocks”

I picked up some hazelnut coffee along with some other groceries today. Like the packaging says, the flavour’s “rich”. I have a feeling I’ll be drinking a good deal more coffee in the coming days because of this new blend. I’m sure I’ll be in need of the caffeine.

The sidewalks and landscape are still covered by snow, but the removal is progressing. Hopefully the buses will be running as normal soon. It’s definitely a hinderance to my employment endevours. Snow storms of this magnitude prove to be quite troublesome. It’s a good thing they are as uncommon as they happen to be, though global warming may be shifting that.

When I returned home from the trek, I discovered that The Squarewaves are now broadcasting The Squarewaves Radio in O.G.G. and RealAudio streams. Five songs are shared in the stream, and they are absolutely brilliant. I had high expectations for this band’s music, and I was not disappointed in any way. Deidre’s vocals and song writing are even better than in her previous projects, which is no small feat. She’s easily my favourite vocalist, largely because of the uniqueness of her singing style. The instrumentation, while sharing qualities with former projects, is strikingly different and dynamic. I can’t stress enough how excited I am about The Squarewaves. I’m eagerly awaiting their first release, and any chance I might have to see them perform live. Be sure to check out their stream for an introduction.

I had intended to write about my vision of utopia tonight, but I’ll have to work on that for later, and perhaps brainstorm for now. Fear not, I will share my vision before too long has passed. Do not expect office buildings, malls, obliviousness or capitalistic facists.

    dee found the film from edgefest, we'll send you pictures.

    Sorry, but Valley of the giants is only doing 4 shows. If you want, come up here. Stay with us and come to the show at Sala Rosa. You're on our guest list. See Montreal.

  2. Deidre and Scott,

    Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. It's always nice to know people are reading what I write in my journal. It's especially nice when those people happen to be people I greatly respect.

    Oh, that would be great to see those photos from Edgefest.

    I really appreciate the offer to attend the show in Montreal, and even more so the offer to stay with you. Sadly, though, I doubt I'd be able to make it. I'm in a really tight spot financially, so getting there would likely be a problem. Thanks a lot for offering, though. If at all possible I would take you up on the offer.

    I'm really excited to hear more from The Squarewaves. I really loved the unfinished stuff you shared on the website, and I'm sure what you finally release will be excellent. Will there be much material from The Brokehearts album you were working on released? The demos of “Young” and “A New Age” were both quite good, and I'd like to hear finished versions of them someday. I'll be checking the site for any news you have to share there and looking forward to an album or E.P.

    Thanks again,

    Apollo
