Smiley Goat

Not much of a content post so much as a 'hey I really like this goat shot' post. This was from Krista and I's so called 'Belfast Day' where Belfast Mini Mills had an open house, as well as a potter.

The Mini Mills has some really fun animals, along with our favourites the goats.

Downtown Seattle at Sunset

I am finally getting around to posting all the pictures of my cross North America trip from last year.

In some ways I'm kind of glad I waited a while to post them. I feel like over the past year I've gotten a bit better at editing pictures. I get to re-live the trip by going through all the raw pictures one by one, triggering associated memories and good times. I've caught up with my Dad's cousin who I stayed with in Seattle while attempting to confirm details on his classic car.

Of course, I could have posted them a year ago and just gone through the set and re-lived the memories. Oh well, I've been busy.

I still have Vancouver and the Via trip on The Canadian from there to Toronto to go. I anticipate there will be some more pictures that I'm very happy with, just like this Seattle skyline shot.

Flowers Under Attack

is this still on?

Radio Debut

Wintersleep Acoustic Guitar from the show at The Wave in UPEI.

Hello everyone, especially anyone coming from Radio 3.  I hope you are enjoying the show I co-hosted with Craig Norris, as much as I enjoyed recording it.

I hope to post more here in the future again, with more music related stuff.  Things like show reviews, local news, that kind of thing.  Stay tuned.

For anyone who reads this before the show, it will be airing on CBC Radio 3 between noon and three eastern, February 12, 2009.  Have a listen.

Snowing

The weather here has been quite variable the last couple weeks. One day it'll be snowing, the next -10, the next raining and +11.

I saw Grass Mountain Hobo's at Back Alley Music last weekend. Tomorrow is Nudie & The Turks at the same place.

Other than that not much going on musically that I'm aware of here in Charlottetown. You know who I really feel like seeing live again (even though I've seen them 4 times this year), The Tom Fun Orchestra... alas, it will have to wait until next year.

On that same note, Tom Fun and Hey Rosetta, and Pat Deighan & The Orb Weavers, and many other great bands have all been nominated for ECMA's. Congratulations to all the nominees!

Here's a new track from K'Naan at Radio 3
