Saw this image on a friend's IG page. Made a small addition which I think really ties the room together.

My Dad's original 1972 pressing, and the new re-issue.
A little late for #JethroJuly - pardon my tardiness.

Show announcement! August 9th at Victoria's newest venue, The Coda, 751 View Street, with post rock/art rock band Dreamworld Panic and prog rock band Tal Voda.
Probably won't get quite as heavy as the poster might imply... but we'll see!

Doing a new guitar build, an ES330-style with western maple body and bubinga top. It'll be getting TV Jones pickups and a bigsby tremolo, gold hardware. Going to have more of a bright, jangly sound, will be using it on some rhythm stuff on the next Versa album.

I avoided Alcest for a long time because of the "black metal" genre label - 90s Norwegian black metal is definitely *not* my speed. But damn, Alcest is fantastic. Been listening to them a lot since "Les Chants de l'aurore" came out last year.

Hollas, Ben, and I recording the claps for our short instrumental prog tune "Dusk" off of our second LP, "The Decline & Fall Of..."
Recorded at the University of Victoria over the summer of 2009.
Forgot how much I look like my dad if I shave my head and grow a moustache...

The birds and I are listening to the new album 'This Dark Earth' by our friends @moonlettersband. Awesome blend of modern and classic symphonic prog - make sure you check it out!

I haven't been writing much new music recently because since Christmas I've been occupied completely renoing our den. We renovated the house between 2022 and 2023 and the GC screwed up the den really badly, so I stripped it back to the drywall and re-did it all myself (except the tiling).
