New Vid! Wilser's Room stairwell, Rain In The Dark & Chipmunks!

I was just thinking about all these people dissin and rippin on TOOL.... People saying the new album sounds like '10,000 Days' or other tracks or albums.... Yet these people LOVE AC/DC who have written the same song for several decades now!

Oh and about Maynard and this sexual assault thing... I wrote one of the journalists who wrote the story on the Twitter accusations by anonymous 'people' that Maynard Keenan had sexually assaulted them.
One of those accounts led back to another Twitter and email account that belonged to a MAN...

The journalist was super quick in responding and said there had been NOTHING further since Keenan dismissed the claims.. No investigation, no arrests and no charges...

Reading further, several Rock media outlets chose not to print the 'accusations' as one of accusers failed to reply to any of the emails sent and the other would not send any corroborating evidence and left it at, "I'm working with Rolling Stone" (The same Rolling Stone that was sued for publishing a story of assault that proved to be false... Just sayin...)

In the currently climate one can't just get away with 'paying people off' anymore. IF these accusations had any grounds they'd be moving forward... The cases against Gomeshi and that hedley asshole certainly moved quickly.

And I ain't anti women, I am not NO rape apologist. People cannot be tried in the court of public opinion. Leave it to the courts for that.

Anyhow....

Video!

Off to a birthday partay!

Where's My Dang TOOL?! .... Wait a minute...

So yeah, it's my own decision, but I've never had credit cards, does it make some things inconvenient? Yes...

So I had a gift card for Amazon and when I saw the new TOOL album was available on Amazon I thought to meself, 'Meself, you can use the gift card and then cover the rest with PayPal'... But nope.. Amazon don't use PayPal....

TOOL is an odd duck, they JUST put up their catalog of albums digitally... Unlike a lot of bands, they were not selling the album on their own website.. Sure sure their social media pages had links to Amazon and Apple and some other shit sites, but the TOOL band website was barely updated... And after listening to Maynard talk in a few interviews I got the feeling these guys just don't have their shit together... A promise of vinyl versions was suggested, but I ain't seen the album on vinyl yet (Really I'd love to get 'Undertow' and 'Ænima' and '10,000 Days' on vinyl, that'd be kick ass)....

So, in somewhat of a panic I needed to figure out where I could get the new TOOL album and then it dawned on me.... Backstreet Records!!
And so I called Eric and asked if he could order it in for me and he most certainly did...

After I had placed my order, in fact later that day, I began to see reports that the pre-order for the deluxe super duper CD version of the album had sold out, this set in motion the thoughts of, 'will I get the album the day it comes out?' and ABSOLUTELY nothing on Eric here... All he can do is order it, he can't make it arrive any quicker or ship on any date. He's a passenger just like me....

Now, sure, I can go on Youtube right now and probably listen to the entire album.. But I ain't gonna do that.
I've heard the title track, some clips of other tracks... But I'll maintain, I'll have some discipline for once and wait this out..

I think......

Quiet On The Set!

Down here at the Wilsers room with the Raynemaker crew shooting for the Harvest Jazz & Blues festival.

Even got to do a little camera work myself.

Just The Three of Us

Well at least two are still around. A bit of a change from just months ago when there were chipmunks coming at me from all directions.

Hey be sure to check out this single from Halifax's 'Dazor' -

Little You Little Me - This band from Saint John I was ranting and raving about when I was at CHSR.

I first saw them at the National College Radio Conference in Saint John and instantly was a fan. 

Sadly because of my health I haven't seen them live in forever. Tim and the gang did a great job on this interview:

There's some great Hip Hop and Rap artists from the area. Now these guys of course didn't grow up in the mean streets of whatever mega city USA, but it doesn't mean that they don't have important stories and messages to convey.

Over the years, working with Tim, hanging out and helping out here and there on the Project, I've met some of our cities finest:
