Hey Ya All,
Great feedback coming in for the NSR singles series. Thanks to Q104 and Live 105 in Halifax for spinning my latest single “Jimmie’s Still Jimmie”. It’s a split single with my friend Shotgun Jimmie and his song is called “That’s Not Joel”. It’s pretty damn rockin’ if I do say so myself. Vish Khanna from CBC Radio 3 has it as his album of the week. Read about it here.
Jay Ferguson from Sloan wrote a cool article on some very cool underground songwriters. Matthew Grimson was one of the talented cats he mentioned. Read it here. Matthew’s single is wild and strange in all the right ways.
My rarities and b-sides album, “EMERGENCYs, False Alarms, Shipwrecks, Castaways, Fragile Creatures, Special Features, Demons And Demonstrations” comes out June 14 on 12″ vinyl packaged with a CD. You can check out, When I Go, the song I tracked at Abbey Road last year here.
Peter Elkas’s record, Repeat Offender, continues to get great reviews (it’s my album of the year) and we are playing together in Bragg Creek Alberta next week so maybe we’ll see you there.
Party on like there is no tomorrow.
