2-28-09 Shows! Golden Ages!
Firstly, big, exciting show in Van w/ such people as Tomas Jirku, Michael Red, Taal Mala! 110% Monomachine set with crazy live versions of THJ tracks, plus a bunch of new stuff!
And, here's what's going on in the lab (albeit not properly recorded)
12-25-08 Well, why not?
Thanks to Discorder for the nice review, and now I must get back to my Christmas tracking...
12-16-08 If there was an award for maintaining one's webspace, I would probably not be a front runner
But, I do eventually get there.
There shall be shows in Jan/Feb....details to follow. Live electronica with a cape and 10 laptops, each running a Max/MSP patch more complicated than the last...or perhaps no laptops at all. I'm starting to have thoughts about keytars. Think something like 1 2 3 4 5 6, which is where I think I'm taking the live thing.
I also want to say some thanks to:
CBC Radio3 for having me on not one but two podcasts, plus, I've never been a prize question before (to win a scarf, what is an ookpik), and also for adding me to their regular playlist.
Tracks are towards the end of both 'casts.

The music director at CSCR for deeming THJ year-end-top-10 worthy.Wowza. It's not on my top 10 :)
CKUT out in Montreal for interviewing me, and generally being awesome.
11-20-08 CMJ and Chartattack attack! CKUT interview!
Reviews on CMJ and Chartattack! To say that I was not expecting this is a little bit of an understatement. Thanks to Rob and Justin for getting this all moving, and thanks to CMJ (+ esp Lisa for the nice review) and Chartattack for writing about the job, done totally at home.
www.cmj.com for the review and free download of Shop Teacher (good for the next 24 hours)
The Chartattack review (and for the record, I have it on good authority from a man who knows a lot more about drums and basses than I that my dnb influences are reasonably up-to-date)
Also big thanks to CKUT out at McGill for having me on The New Shit (as well as playing THJ a whole lot and generally being really nice people). You can grab the interview for the next 8 weeks right here, and you can donate to their 2008 funddrive (up to Nov 23rd)
09-24-08 New News! Oh my Total Home-Job!
Total Home Job has become more than it originally was! It has made the fantastic transformation, as a ball of dough becomes a crisp and crusty loaf, into an El Pee, with the addition of 3 new songs, and 2 remixes from Tomas Jirku and Longshanks!
The sound quality has had extra quality added, and the edges have been sharpened!
The newly minted, fresh picked off the snowy mountain dew THJ shall be out on November 18th through Socalled Recordings. Find it digitally wherever you go, and physically in select stores!
Check out some previews on the ol' Total Home-Job page!
