Instrumental powerpop created by Toronto musician Tim Cameron. Was once described as "Booker T & the MGs meet The Smithereens in Paul McCartney's attic".
Occasionally spotted in the wild performing as T.C. Folkpunk too.

Special guest performance by T.C. Folkpunk Entrance P.W.Y.C."

Arrrgh. I emailed everybody on my list about the gig this Saturday, and every missive sent to a Hotmail account bounced back. Technology strikes again.
Thankfully it's not 2003 anymore, so most addresses on the list don't use Hotmail.
And of course you'll be there because you saw this here, right?

Right then, time to crank up the promotional machine (such as it is) for the next public sighting of T.C. Folkpunk...

Gmail is back to its bizarre captcha nonsense.
Anybody else getting this?
The "once again" thing at 37 seconds is really helpful...

Is anybody else seeing this bullshit when they try signing into Gmail? It doesn't accept any captcha answer (even when it's clearly correct), and clicking on the speaker icon (to "type the text you hear") just plays 20 seconds of random vocal noises.

More A.I. slop I assume?

"MCcatney"?!
"MCcATNEY"?!?!
Nice one, A.I.
Screenshot of a thumbnail from YouTube from some dumb dead internet channel calling itself D NEWS, featuring a story on Paul McCartney's photography exhibit, except on the thumbnail in giant letters McCartney's name is spelled MCcATNEY.

Photo by @judeklassen.bsky.social from today's gig at Sauce On Danforth in Toronto. The surreal slideshow on the screen is a nice touch.

T.C. Folkpunk performing at Sauce On Danforth in Toronto. Behind him on the left is an upright piano against the wall, directly behind him is a doorway, and higher up on the right is a video screen showing a surreal slide show, the current picture being a black and white photo of a man holding a pig with the word "Hitler" painted on the side of the pig. The rest of the room is decorated like a New Orleans bordello from the 19th century, with lots of vintage furniture, fancy lamps on tables and red patterned wallpaper.

Hey all, if you're wondering what to do with any spare time you might have this summer, I have a suggestion...

I have students who call in from in Vancouver, Winnipeg, Ottawa, Halifax and of course Toronto. All you need is wifi and an instrument!

The digital music world is imploding, and on its current trajectory all music online will be A.I. generated pap in the near future.
One thing A.I. can't do is stand on stage and blow the roof off a gig, so it's not hard to envision live music returning with a vengeance over the next couple of years.
