Everything I can remember so far
Hello, I will do my best to remember a lot of the things that have happened to me on my tour in Germany (and Switzerland) so far. I told you about how I played a show in Saarbruken, then took a nap in Trier. Well, after that I road a train to Mainz. Mainz a neat town where the printing press was invented. My friend Christoph met me at the hauptbanhoff and drove me to his lovely little bar called Hafeneck. The word ‘Hafeneck’ doesn’t really mean anything as far as I know, even in German, but you can get away with making up...

Did you visit the ‘shop’ page and get some music? If so, thanks. An Extra Special goes out to those who shot me something with paypal. The response has been humbling. It’s on for a while yet, so spread the word to people who like weird folk songs and scrappy, self-aggrandizing bastards. Right now I’m resting on a high-end pullout sofa in Trier thinking of the finer things. I’m thinking of the countless brilliant people have helped me long the way. Whether we’ve shared a quick conversation, an...
read moreNew site. Free Music. Europe Record Launch. Europe Tour.
I’m pretty excited about a few things: firstly, I have a new website. This is it. Simi made it. She’s an all-round remarkable person; secondly, my recent record No Safe Home has just been released throughout Europe on Artfull Sounds/Cargo Distribution; thirdularly, I’m in Germany right now, touring in support of the record. I’m pretty dizzy, exhausted and happy that I get to do this. To celebrate these three neat things, I have decided to give away all of my available back-catalog of music for free or...

I’m having a very nice time in Europe now. I arrived on Friday evening after being bounced around flights and airports like a donkey. I Landed in Luxembourg, took a bus past the big EU buildings and another all the way to Saarbruken. I performed at a community run theatre and music complex called Sparte4. Christoph set up a wireless mic for me so I got to sing ‘Build Me Up Buttercup’ real close to all the Germany faces. There was ample dancing and drinking by the end in spite of all the bean-bag chairs. Thank...

The new web site is almost ready! I won’t spend much time updating this crummy old thing, but I should tell you that I’m sitting in the Toronto airport waiting for my flight to Luxembourg. They kicked me off my flight, ran me round the terminal like a donkey and made me give up my laser pointer… but I did it. I’m going to Germany. This European tour snuck up on me. I thought it would be five days… but that turned into 15 days. It was a strange surprise, I’m ready for it. April/May – Germany and...

Hi, It’s damn nice to make noises — sing-songy, obnoxious noises; ring-dingy collapsing noises; napping noise. I recently finished a fun bunch of shows with our pal BA Johnston. Love that guy. He always kicks my ass onto tour just when I’m in a winter collapse. His new tunes are face-busting good. He’s got one about drinking in a bar full of aliens — it’s stuck in my head and loins; ‘Can’t Stop Stealing from Work’ is timeless+true, and the ever-rousing ‘McDonald’s Coupon...

Hi Friends, I’ve been having a lot of fun playing shows lately… even though I haven’t really recovered from absorbing that apocalypse a couple of weeks back. I feel really powerful, but my chakras are still all switched around and my solar plexus has begun to pulse with a teal glow. I’m not sure where that’s all heading, but I got to thinking… maybe there is a way for me to straighten around my karmic energies. I know how crazy it sounds, but maybe by absorbing ANOTHER apocalypse I can shock my system back...

Good news everybody! You know how the world was supposed to end but then it didn’t? Things were about to go south… Hard. We all knew it. It was all over the news and the internet. Everything. You could feel it when you stepped onto the crumbling street. You could see it in the sallow, hungry eyes of every child and hear it in the needy growl of angry dogs. You’re probably wondering what happened with all of that. Well, I’m pretty sure that I can say with 100% certainty that I TOOK IT INTO MYSELF — that I, Wax...

Hey there! I should probably tell you about my upcoming shows. I pasted them over there to the left… Brantford, Hamilton, Waterloo, Lndon, Guelph, Toronto, Peterborough. It will be nice to team up with BA Johnston again… and Corwin Raymond. That guy is great. I’ve been having fun — laying low since the Hamilton Music Awards. That was a neat night. Congrats to Lee Reed, Mayor McCA and everyone else. The event brought the community out in full force. I’ve been spending my days wandering along the shores of shallow...
