CHERRILHO BEACHINHO



Brazilian pressing of Career Suicide's "Cherry Beach" is now available! This no doubt waxed, tanned, and Orfeuian beast is now available in the streets of Rio, Brasilia, and Sao Paolo. But, you should play fisherman, cast a line, and reel this piece of ice cold Canadiana over to wherever you're from.

WE NEED TO PLAY A SHOW THERE.

Forking Paths



Once I sang a Christmas Carol with my wife.
We sang it, recorded it, dubbed, and sent it off to our little niece in Wales.
Her sister, who was a little older, and probably too cool for Christmas Carols needed a song too.
I wrote a song that "sounded like the Goo Goo Dolls."
(apparently my level of being 'in touch' is through the roof)
An opportunity arose.
Instead of a gift,
it became an article of labour.
Now it's a song that AC Newman sings on.
Now it works for me.
We still owe her a present.
