I bought an 8 track 1/4" machine. It needs a repair. Sometimes it feels like my life is a constant battle waged against slowly dying machinery.

Old friends Beige made it to our magical fairy island and made a video. Thanks to knoah and his mastery of visual mediums, making us all look better than we are.

Two weeks ago yee grlz came by the studio and blasted out these eight songs. It has been very cool to watch this band happen. We've spent a lot of time making coffee and bagels together, it's nice to make music now.

Jesus On George, by Jake Nicoll

A few weeks ago, as I was walking home I heard the distant wailing of a woman. It sounded like someone was either in trouble or insane. It turned out to be an evangelist preacher on the George Street stage in the middle of the afternoon. It deserved to be recorded and the recording deserved to be songed.

Record-A-Thon Rings in a New Era for Local Music

There are at least twenty people, many of whom are about to record a song for the first time, packed into Jake Nicoll’s small apartment / recording studio …

I hosted a day of free recording for a compilation of new bands here in St. John’s inspired by the new feminist wave that’s splashing over this island scene. I call it fem-wave. That’s probably already a thing but I’ll let myself feel clever for now.
