-the politics of an asparagus -

2005-04-26T04:30:39Z

What if everything around you isn't quite as it seems.
What if all the world you think you know is an elaborate dream.
And if you look at your reflection is it all you wanted to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks...
Would you find yourself...find yourself afriad to see?

What if all the world's inside of your head are just creations of your own.
Your devils and your gods, all the living and the dead.
And you really are alone.
You can live in this illusion.
You can choose to believe.
You keep looking but you can't find the words.
Are you hiding in the dreams?

Man ive been sooo fucking busy, but im so happy that i am. We finally started to record Nicola last Saturday. It was a slow start becuase of the little pre prod we had done because of him living in venice and us being here, but its really teeing off now. Were are also feeling the pressure a little since we have 10 more days to complete 5 more songs. very do-able, but long hours. Some sneaky peaks soon.
Mid terms are around again so in between all the studio hours i have to sneak in some studying which has bluntly failed.
I had the great pleasure to hang out with Melissa Auf Der Maur. What a fucking cool chick, i can talk to her forever. anyhow, in the end we exchanged numbers and will probably be working together for her next upcoming album. Wouldnt that fucking just straight up rock.

as my dad would say "Marzo e pazzo"

2005-03-12T22:10:15Z

ahhh March..
you begin to look ahead. Winds still blowing hard and snow falling like crazy whenever it wants too. But, you dont care becuase you know it will all be over soon. Every TV show shifts over to cali or cancun for 2 weeks so they can broadcast in the sun and of course, its National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. Besides all those "fun" things, the reason i love March is becuase of one day where the crime, fighting, bitching(to canada), and where the french ppl actually try to speak english to us in this city -- yup, the St.Pattys day parade. Amazing what happens to the city when you can drink anywhere and its entirety is intoxicated. See you fuckers at the parade.

Well after 11 weeks, our time is finally done at 451 Studio. The session's went great and working with The Citizens was mad fun. The best part out of all this was working with my mentor, Nelly V. Besides being an fucking awsome producer he happens to be the coolest and nicest cat i have ever met. Even though we made promises to work with each other in the future, it was still rather sad to part ways. Its crazy how close you can get to people in a short period of time.
I bought a saxophone!! I figured i can throw it in my music somewhere. I really wanted to pick up a trombone but its to late for that.. Speaking about my music, the project is off to a great start, i've completed a few songs. I finally get to do my own thing and im happy im in the driver seat for this one. Although I will have a bunch of guests on it ; storytellers, violinists,
psychopaths and whatnot. If you like Recoil and Baxter well, you'll like Underground Masquerade.
ok, that and a bunch of stuff is going on but i really dont feel like being boring.

Steve and I doing are final mix (fucking shit up)

All the children sing

2005-01-19T05:54:14Z

Every time i see that american/canadian idol stuff i gag..i mean, whats wrong with this world?
But the real people i wanna kill, and i mean kill, is their parents. Its because of the dumb fucking parents and friends that dont have the heart to tell their son/daughter that they fucking suck! Instead, they lie and tell their children that they're the greatest singer ever. Then they come to American idol and get shitted on and freak out and cry and commit suicide! All because the parents told them they were the best! I dont not comprehend this. If you cant fly a plane..you dont..no? So dont give up your day job and sing in the fucking shower.
But i admit, watching that show makes me feel a lot better about myself.

Im sorry, but this whole tsunami stuff is making me sick. It was cool at the beginning but now its just disgusting. Its a fad really. "oh we donated more than you. "Oh they donated 100 million, we'll donate 200 million and throw a concert". "Oh no!, we must donate money now because our competitor just donated 50 million and if we dont donate double it will hurt our business!!". "Plus its tax deductible".
Its not even about helping ppl anymore, it about image. Dont get me wrong, i think its great that money is going their way and im proud of what canada did.. Its just the reasons that bug me.

okay that and were all dying soon. learn to swim, learn to swim and learn to swim..and keep driving those SUV's.

Oh, Train 48 fucking rules!

Christmas was fun ya. Well, the same as it always has been, EXCESSIVE everything...
My dad took the cake this year. By the end of the night he was soooo wasted and decided to reincarnate himself into Frank Sinatra. So an old mashed geezer trying to sing along to Frank. He didnt know one lyric -- There was no stopping him.... It was torture, but mad funnie.

Anyway, I hate winter. I dont sleep in winter and i always feel like shit.
To add to that, my left jaw is permanently out of place. Supposedly the way i sleep(which is face down on the pillow, that and a combination of sleeping on a couch for the last 5 months and stress)has caused my jaw to move out of place. It fucking kills. I cant eat. So now i have to choose between surgery or therapy. I asked my dentist for an opinon and he told me not to get the surgery becuase of chances of rheumatism later on. So i see a specialist tomorrow. I will never be able to sleep on my back, i just fucking cant do it. i feel like im in a coffin.
Enough of this feeling bad for myself shit..lol

On a brighter note, I got to see everyone yesterday at paulines bday. Really felt good to remember i had friends. The studio is also doing great. We actually have a meeting with a representative from sony music USA tomorrow. I cant really say what is going on till all happens, but yeah were excited about that.

Tonite is drew and bhar's place...fun fun

my old man, drunk i might add.

my poor dog Rocks, he lives in a woman controlled enviroment....

So yeah, another step closer to being done.
So after 9 weeks of delays and a 500 dollar deposit down the tube, we finally told CL Designs to fuck rite off. We been waiting for them to condition our C.R and live room forever. Obviously it never happened. All it did do, was delay us from opening the studio to the public! So we decided to take matters in our own hands. I mean wtf we learn't how to do this stuff in school and we had already built everything else, we even solder our own cables. fuck yeah. So we built 2 bass traps, 10 panel absorbers, 5 diffusers and a cinema cloud for our control room. It wasn't easy but man I'm really impressed, the rooms sound exactly the way they should and they look great, no more standing waves, phase, or unwanted reverb and flutter(beer was the key). I just need to finish up the website and its finally over.

As for our first project, it's our friend from Venice, Nicola. He'll be flying in from Boston in Jan to record his 6 song EP. I've never worked with a solo artist before,i think it should be interesting to get into 1 persons mind rather than 4-5, plus he's a harvard student -- im gonna just shut up and listen. Yup, this guy does it all.

Jan 1 2005 is opening for us, we are having a little opening party at the studio Dec 26..if your around gimme a shout.

so i finally get to sleep in a bed -- first time in 6 days. im gonna make love to it.
one problem, i cant fucking sleep,yep.

felt goood to go out yesterday and talk over some bitter. Hadn't seen pretty much anybody in awhile, it was soothing. Basicly getting shit-faced ya.

oh yeah one last thing to note. After screwing,tweaking and wraping aluminum foil around the rabbit ears, and trying to align them to the constellations of Orion and Draco in search for help from Osiris, we finally got to catch PBS at the studio!! Now, you know what that means.. The Antique Fucking Roadshow. Did i mention my life is complete now. No offense Train 48.

I didnt really wanna comment on the whole election thing but my leg is twitching.

I dont understand why people are freaking out that bush is re-elected. Honestly, what the fuck would of been the difference is John Kerry would of won. Nothing. War in Iraq would of still been going on and people would still hated the USA. If the Democrats feel soooooooo separated from from the republicans views and lifestyles, why not get toghether and do something, like seperate from the U.S. if they claim that their ashamed to be affiliated with G.W Bush. Of course, that would never happen because they do see eye to eye with one thing..capatalisim. People think RATIONALITY will save us, false! John Kerry does seem to be alot more fucking normal than Bush, but lets go back to the bay of pigs. 128 Russian nuclear war heads were lined up in cuba. The States and russia came within 2 mins of nuclear war. Almost a third of this world almost got destroyed because of rational men(J.F.Kennedy, Fidel Castro, Nikita Khrushchev).
What the American ppl are missing is empathy. Until then... i think the U.S.A will fall. Just like any great empire did. This is the only end to the story.
I ve given up on people. They are just to blind and to occupied with they're "fast-paced" life to make a difference.

Down that beer quick, smash my glass back down, fall over the table.

Seems the only difference between mid week shit and weekend is how loud I speak, and whether I try to pull a girlfriend.
"That's it, who's got dough?"
"Hey, you know I'd pay but I'm broke, only got coinage to show"
Putting off walking home on my own, to my thrown...
Two empty takeaways, ashtrays, and remains of the day stoned.
Pick a bottle off the table, peel the label tell a fable
Offer opinion for free and a solution to the latest big news story
Football and smut daily as I ponder winning the lottery.
Buy a drink, chat to a lady, the girls well fit definitely, not maybe, she's rude ,I'd shag
her and make tea right there.

"Can't lounge in the boozer all day, got maneuvers to make"
Gotta see a man about a dog, can't be late, I'm always late..
Raining cats and fog but nice and dry in the black dog.
Down it in one my son, can't sit here, gotta run.. things need done
"If they don't win this and the next run, they getting relegated to the third division"
At street level, real people saying repeated sequel
Rock and roll, fall to the floor like last night, yesterday morning,
And the night before and the night before.

Okay, lets try this again.

I could just sit here and write about my life and act like an anesthesiologist but i think ill save myself the horror.
Sound is a crazy thing man. Well, i mean the brain is. If i close my eyes and listen to the train in the distance, i can tell from which side its coming from...
that means my brain can tell which ear the frequency's are reaching first, even m/s apart. THAT means we can distinguish depth in sound -- Which MEANS that we can "see" the size of a room without actually seeing or actually BEING in the room at all! As we hear the early reflections off a wall or ceiling(or even off a tape,cd,T.V,etc.), the brain calculates how fast it took for the sound to reflect and refract back to our ears. Outputing a depth size. oooooooOOOoooo PSYCHOacoustics. Finally makes fucking sense. Sick.

After understanding all this... who cares... In the end, its all about the music.

For the people in the same shoes as curt and i, who belive that there isnt too many documentry films that are actually quite honest and actually dont emphasize on fads....man this was a long time coming!! We just finished screening The End of Suburbia: Oil Depletion and the Collapse of the American Dream. I'm fucking speechless. Our dependance on fossil fuels is inevitable but no one seems to care about the sparsity of it! Of course, some people rather praise their god at 5 PM and watch Dr.Phil.

The documentry will only be screened and presented in 2 city's here in Canada;
-October 28 - Toronto, ON. Presented by Boiling Frog, Trinity Spadina Greens, Free University and the Planet In Focus Film Festival.
-November 6 - Edmonton, AB at the Global Visions Film Festival.

But hold On!!!! The producers of The End of Suburbia encourage you to show the documentary to audiences of under 50 people without permission!!! How wicked is that! For more details check out http://www.endofsuburbia.com

Not that it changes anything in my life, but why is marajauna not legal? Its a natural plant that grows in the dirt. You know whats not natural? 80 yr old dudes with hard-ons, thats not natural. But we got pills for that! Were dedicating all of our medical resources to keeping the old guys erect, but we're throwing people in jail for smoking something that grows in dirt.
You know, we have so much more prescription drugs now... Every commercial on TV is a prescription drug ad.
I cant watch TV for more than 4 minutes without thinking i have 5 serious diseases. Like, "Do you ever wake up tired in the morning?". "Oh my god i have this!, write this down -- whatever it is i have it." Half of the time you dont even know what the commercial is about. Theres people running threw fields and flying kites or swiming in the ocean. Like, "That is the greatest dieases ever!, how do i get
that?!!". "That disease come's with a hot chick and puppy"

Americans... lets face it, they been a spoiled country for a long time. You know what the number one health risk in America is?
Obesity...They say we are in the middle of an obesity epidemic -- likes it fucking polio!. We'll be telling our grand kids one day.The Great Obesity Epidemic of 2004. "How did you get through it grandpa??" "Ohhh it was horrible Charlie, there was cheesecake and porkchops everywhere!" Noone knows why were getting fatter. Look at are lifestyles! People will sit at drive-thru behind 15 other cars instead of making an 8 foot walk to the tottaly empty counter. Everything is: mega meal, supersized, "want biggie fries with that", jumbo fries, "want a 55 gallon drum of coke with that? Its just 3 extra cents".

So, whats this phase with people and buying everything "organic". Like its a fucking trend. Over priced food, for something thats grown the way its supposed to be grown. I see these fucks walking into specailty shops buying there 23 dollar bottle of water(750 ML) and 100 dollar bottle(1 L) of olive oil., do they even give a shit that it was grown organic, no. All they give a shit about is that the produce they buy is expensive and not what the norm is eating. Woow they added no food coloring!! So lets triple the mark up! Youre so special and elite now.

Went to Six Flags yesterday with some of the boys, it was my first time in my life going. I just always felt wierd about going to an amusment park in my own city. It ended up being pretty lame considering i bailed like 8 times becuase queues were fucking outragous. I cant wait in fucking lines, unless it's for a concert or beer. So i only ended going on the log ride, my favorite,(the puker)the anti-gravity ride and sneaking in the Sponge Bob 3D Adventure.

Been in the studio alot in the past few weeks. Recording a female punk band. Pretty interesting stuff... School is all right, been able to keep steady 80's througout all the crap. So yeah, basicly, stirring clear of drama -- which ppl in this town LOVE so fucking much!

-i wish i could sit and watch the Antique Road Show forever-

2004-08-13T05:19:49Z

i have been fecccking tired. Kinda sucks when sleep becomes your main priority. You become a lot more anti-social. Wish i could be insomniac again. Anyway, I was informed today(well a poster told me) that one class is being moved over to sunday morning.. i was like your fucking kidding me rite.. We all went over our contracts today and saw that this would be a breach in our curriculum claus. Were not trying to be lazy about it but we all have other jobs and/or company's to take care of, it would just be impossible for us to do it. Especially for something that really isn't are problem -- the school decideing to move isnt my dam fault. So yeah that will not happen.

Besides that crap, i been hanging out with friends from school alot and we been having hella fun in the studio together working. Everyone is from a diffrent country or background so it makes for a really cool sound and conversations. We Laid some tracks down too, really good and diffrent music has been written. I'm really Anxious to see our final product.

tommorow should be fun with The Warped Tour in town. I just wanna watch Thursday again for the 3rd time this year!

so its been a few weeks since an update. Been busy with school and the nice weather, which we all can't get enough of. This week is going to be hectic with papers due and mid-terms to be written.

I thought i put up a bunch of pics of what went on in the last few weeks, instead of writing about it and boring myself.
