http://birdstootiredtofly.blogspot.com/2010/10/tour-journal-oal-toronto.html
Tour Journal: OAL Toronto. Oh Toronto. What a great welcome! We arrived in my home city around 4 o'clock, and I immediately went to my girlfriends place. This is the longest we've been apart, and I was beginning to miss the gal. I had a few hours to rest, hang out, eat a home cooked meal, and then we headed to the Garrison. It was great to see so many of our favorite people out! We were humbled. Patrick met up with us again! And that leaves us. I think we played one of our best shows. Everyone wa...Folks...

birds too tired to fly: Top 10 albums of the year!!
http://birdstootiredtofly.blogspot.com/2009/12/top-10-albums-of-year.html
Top 10 albums of the year! Well here it is! My personal top 10 albums of the year. A couple notes, first of all, as I said with my top ten songs podcast. Notes to an Absent Lover. Well, they were. Can Mos Def do any wrong? Why is it that everything he does is gold? Brooklyn is well represented again, Mos Def's 4th album may be the best of his already brilliant career. mixing elements of soul, afro-beat with hip-hop and rock and roll. it doesn't hurt to have producers Madlib, Oh No and J Dilla on ...He kn...

birds too tired to fly: Top 9 of a so so year.
http://birdstootiredtofly.blogspot.com/2010/12/top-9-of-so-so-year.html
Top 9 of a so so year. The second point works for a few of my favorite albums of the year as well. Let me explain. The Arcade Fire released a fantastic record this year, one of my favorites, but it's the worst Arcade Fire album. That statement shouldn't be quoted out of context, my current rating of Arcade Fire albums goes as follows: "Funeral" 5/5, "Neon Bible" 5/5, "The Suburbs" 4/5. Lost in translation with a whole fuckin’ nation. They say I was the abomination of Obama’s nation. I’m an asshole? The p...

birds too tired to fly: Tour Journal: OAL Fredricton/ Charlottetown
http://birdstootiredtofly.blogspot.com/2010/10/tour-journal-oal-fredricton.html
Tour Journal: OAL Fredricton/ Charlottetown. It's been a couple days, let let me tell you what's been going on;. Fredericton. What a great city! The show at The Capital was wonderful, and we got to play the first of 2 shows with our new favorite band North Lakes. The North Lakes have this great 80's new wave/ surf vibe. They hail from Charlottetown, and anyone in the maritimes should check them out if they get the chance. The DDP is a portable, battery-powered Party System. Luckily, a good friend of the ...

birds too tired to fly: The End of Birds.
http://birdstootiredtofly.blogspot.com/2011/03/end-of-birds.html
The End of Birds. Hey folks, well it's been 2 months since my last post. I think that's a sign. I started this blog almost 3 years ago, really just for myself. I wanted a place to talk about music, film and Toronto. I also used it as a way to talk to people I looked up to. People like Barzin, Wilderness of Manitoba, Nick Zubeck. people who've become friends. Which this sorta was anyways), and writing for the odd blog here and there (hopefully I'll have some content up at Roots Music Canada.

birds too tired to fly: Tour Journal: OAL Ottawa/Kingston
http://birdstootiredtofly.blogspot.com/2010/10/tour-journal-oal-ottawakingston.html
Tour Journal: OAL Ottawa/Kingston. Hey folks, lets talk about Ottawa for a second. After Quebec, I fell like we'd run out of steam a bit. We pulled into Ontario and it immediately began raining. When we found Raw Sugar, I was a little disappointed. After my grumpy state, I was glad to get the next day off. Blair, Sara, Dan and I stayed at Blair's friend Katie's place. Lots of room, and we all felt great the next morning. After a walk through the city I found THE BEST RECORD STORE EVER! Shawn is a musicia...

Tour Journal: OAL: Sackville/ St. Andrews/ Quebec City. Well, I'm a couple days behind. But here's the update; Thanksgiving was AMAZING. A really beautiful thing. 21 guests piled into a small living room in Sackville. More food than we knew what to do with. Good friends, new and old. I wouldn't. Want it any other way. OH, and the best part, Blair fell in a ditch. True story. The following day, we said good bye to Kevin, and headed west. St. Andrews is a sleepy town this time of year, the Summer. Bar, a w...

birds too tired to fly: Track of the Week: She Was the World to Me by Daniel Romano
http://birdstootiredtofly.blogspot.com/2010/12/track-of-week-she-was-world-to-me-by.html
Track of the Week: She Was the World to Me by Daniel Romano. At Pop Montreal this year, i got to see some amazing acts, but one of the nicest surprises was Daniel Romano. He performed a simple set, with lovely background vocals by Misha Bower. There was a wonderful Parsons/Harris vibe, and this track particularly struck a chord. Heartbreaking.
