I love playing with new gear.

This DBX has proven to be a super fun way to kill a Saturday morning.

Short break and then I'm going to dial in my AT2020.

Gear Trial - DBX286s

I brought home a DBX 286s preamp/processor yesterday.

It's a microphone preamp/processor, looks like this:

Today I'll be experimenting with the settings and sound.

I'm running it into my laptop through an Mbox Mini:

Using my main microphone, the Sennheiser 416:

I'll post the results and settings tomorrow.

Another Successful Adventure

2011-03-20T13:21:00.000-07:00

Got back from visiting friends on Gabriola Island yesterday.

What a cool island!

So peaceful, green, and friendly.

I had a blast hanging out and touring around the island.

Not too mention some punk rock guitar sing-a-long rather late into the evening, thanks to Pilsner.

Our tour of the island the next day included Malaspina Galleries, pictured below.

Next visit to Gabriola will be for dinner at Woodfire Pizza & Pasta

Pilsner. Quality You Can Taste.

Malaspina Galleries, Gabriola Island, BC.

Sunday Update

2011-03-13T11:00:00.000-07:00

I recently registered for a premium subscription at Voice123.com.

It's a site that matches voice projects with appropriate voice talents, based on a profile you set up.

So far its been great! I've had several auditions sent my way and hopefully more are coming.

You can find my profile, here.

I'm also working on a few subtle updates to my website , which should be complete in a couple weeks.

The day's entertainment is going to include watching the first season of The Office (U.S. version), and finishing watching Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. I'm surprised it only got 44%.

My radio show, Mixtape on 106.9 the Wolf, airs tonight at 9 pm PST. Listen here.

Old friends, new adventures

2011-02-21T20:44:00.000-08:00

My Calgary visit is going super well so far.

This morning I got up nice and early and met up with Steve Rawles, singer and guitarist in This Is A Standoff.

We enjoyed a pretty decent cup of coffee, here.

I recently found out Steve was starting to play and record some solo stuff.

He's going to be rolling through the Island, with some dates in Nanaimo coming up in June.

I'll definitely keep you posted. Steve is a great muscian and a great dude.

We'll try and hook up some giveaways on my radio show, Mixtape.

Tomorrow we'll meet up with our friends Rob and Melissa for some dinner and drinks!

Alberta Bound

2011-02-19T09:33:00.000-08:00

It happens every time before I travel to Calgary.

I throw on a little Paul Brandt.

I don't even really like country music, but there's something about that song.

Not sure about "this piece of heaven"...while I'm there, it's going to be in the -20's.

Didn't the Eagles have a song about Hell freezing over?

On the upside, I found my winter gear buried in an unused suitcase.

Stoked to see some family and friends, and hopefully tip a few at my favourite bar on 17th Ave.

Also looking forward to playing the cool Uncle Matty roll to my brother-in-law's son.

Off we go!

Update

2011-02-08T20:28:00.000-08:00

It's been a while since I've posted anything...oops.

It's been a super busy couple of months.

I've signed a representation agreement with Vox Talent, Inc.

They're a voice talent agency with offices in Toronto and Vancouver.

Hopefully I'll see a spike in the amount of voice work I'm doing!

My wedding is quickly approaching as well, and there's planning galore.

Wish me luck.

Tomorrow I go to check out the Snowed In Comedy Tour at the Port Theatre.

Out.

'Tis The Season

2010-12-04T16:18:00.000-08:00

Man, it's been busy at work lately.

Lots of scripts to write. Lots of scripts to voice.

Still have to do all kinds of shopping to do tomorrow!

Yikes!

How I love thee, Asian-style Noodle Soup

2010-09-28T13:48:00.000-07:00

I don't know how authentic this recipe is. And frankly, I don't care.

What I do know is it's delicious.

Super easy to make, and totally customizeable.

Vegetable variations I use are bok choy, mushrooms, and/or snap peas.

Throw some diced up chicken breast, leftover pork tenderloin, or tofu in for a protein boost.

Our Lady Peace

2010-09-20T19:36:00.000-07:00

This show was a little while ago now. But I just stumbled upon it while browsing.

It's at the Port Theatre in Nanaimo.

Look in the red box and you'll be able to just make out Graeme Tait, Christina and myself!

Blue Rodeo - Lost Together

2010-09-04T09:03:00.001-07:00

Here's a video of Blue Rodeo performing "Lost Together".

It was their final song on the evening.

They're joined by Dustin Bentall and Kendel Carson.

Never Buy Taco Seasoning Packs Again

2010-09-02T18:05:00.001-07:00

Google is a wonderful thing.

Was about to make some Mexican food for dinner tonight, and realized I didn't have any taco seasoning. What am I gonna do?

Found this wickedly delicious make at home version, and it was awesome.

1 tablespoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon black pepper

Try it out next time you're craving a spicy enchilada!

Blue Rodeo Part 1

2010-08-31T13:00:00.000-07:00

It's a great accomplishment for any band to just survive 23 years as a group.

Blue Rodeo has thrived.

Last night's Blue Rodeo performance at Nanaimo's Port Theatre did not dissappoint.

In fact, it was one of the greatest concerts I've seen in recent memory.

This is thanks in part to the stellar opening act, Dustin Bentall and Kendal Carson.

The vocal harmonies of these two muscians was chillingly amazing.

Dustin's voice has tones of Neil Young and Bob Dylan, with a solidly strummed guitar providing the rhytm to Kendal's lead-style violin; and sulry, entralling voice.

Check his solo work out by clicking the image below.

Kendel Carson also has solo material available, click the image below to visit her site.

Blue Rodeo took the stage after a brief intermission - just enough time to grab a pale ale.

I recorded select songs and wrote down the playlist, which will be included in my next post, Blue Rode Part 2.

New Green Day Song!

2010-08-30T12:25:00.000-07:00

Remember when Green Day's Dookie came out?

Man, those were the days.

I will always credit Green Day as the conduit which shot me head first into punk rock.

Green Day turned in to Offspring. Offspring led me to Pennywise. Pennywise to Lagwagon, etc.

And you know what? I still love Green Day.

At a recent concert, they debuted a new song called "Cigarettes and Valentines".
Check it out!

Skilled Poker Playing

2010-08-29T18:07:00.000-07:00

My buddy Graeme is takin' off to the soon to be frozen tundra of Edmonton, Alberta on Wednesday, so we're doin' a little poker game tonight.

After all, moving isn't cheap, and after winning the last game, he's looking for a repeat.

Good thing my skills of a poker player are highly advanced.

Not.

What I mean to say is good thing we only ever play a $10 dollar buy in.

Yeah, that's it.

Anyway...should be a fun evening regardless of the outcome.

On another note...

Blue Rodeo hits the Port Theatre tomorrow. Got great seats. I'll post a review in the coming days.

Out.
