February 01, 2008 - CANADIAN MUSIC WEEK Kick-Off Party March 5th @ The Kathedral w/ON THE VERGE

Crazy week... finished tracking a record for Kimio Oki and started to mix the thing.  It's sounding fucking amazing.  The Antichris did a fine job micing the band and I've begun mixing this past Friday.  All I can say is WOW!  Great songs, great rhythms of course and fine performances by everyone in the band.  Unfortunately there are only 22 pages of bands called Souljah on myspace  so I think they are due for a name change.  But damn cool songs I have to say.

I want to invite you all to a gig I am doing MARCH 5TH @ THE KATHEDRAL.  It will be the CANADIAN MUSIC WEEK Kick Off Party and we plan to kick reeeeeeeeeeeeeeal hard.  So come out and join me and ON THE VERGE who I am having a blast jamming and recording with right now.  We're going to kick out some gems so don't miss it!  Oh and hey kisses for Valentine's Day!

January 18, 2008 - PARAFUNALIA

Ahhh I love making up words! Hey, fun jamming on stage with Dave and Des aka Des Digler of ON THE VERGE last night @ The Silver Dollar.  I couldn't get Pixie Moonshine to take off her pants but other than that it was silly fun. Great bunch of guys. I finished working on a track with old bud Norman Orenstein.. a song I had written which Norm took a liking to, called MEANGIRL. He did a kinda Trent Reznor- type vibe on the song. It hopes to make it's way onto one of the films he scores which would be tres cool. I've also started a new song with Troy and Jason of The Mudmen which is turning into a interesting piece of rockage and I am starting to track the On The Verge songs in my basement studio Tuesday.  Next week The Antichris and I begin production on a new CD for SOULJAH which is one of KIMIO OKI'S projects, monster drummer and colourful personality that he is. Hadn't seen him in years... he's still crazy as ever. Hey I'm doing a show with ON THE VERGE @ CLINTON'S on January 30th... come check the band out if you haven't yet.... STONER ROCK TORONTO!

January 08, 2008 - NEW YEARS REZ FROM MY LITTLE HEAD

Come to think of it I don’t think I’ve ever really followed through with any of my new years resolutions UP UNTIL NOW. Not that I had set any that I could realistically pull off in the past. This year though may be different. I have decided to “forgive and forget”. I've held a grudge or two against a few people (well deserving I might add). Time to “let it go”. I have decided to focus more on “love” and less on “hate” and “revenge” and “retaliation” and that silly “I’ll show you” attitude which ultimately goes nowhere. I’m being serious now. It’s time to reflect on my life and the people in it as well as the people that are not in it but will soon be… heehee. I want to put more emphasis on “the convictions of my passions”, and stop allowing myself to be pushed around, manipulated, controlled and all of the passive characteristics one may have to prevent them from being completely responsible for their own reality. To “take charge” and be the sole leader of my life and involvement. I will commit my energy to only projects which I feel are worthwhile and suitable to what I believe in and, as long as I do, I will work hard to promote and generate awareness for them as best I can. That’s about it really. That’s actually a lot. Please wish me luck. Afterall, it’s never been easy being me. I have worked incredibly hard, I have struggled to get the support I’ve felt I deserved and I do need your support. Without you I am nothing and cease to exist as an artist.  I am the moon and you are my stars. I’ve never been a star. You may have thought that I’d been trying to be a star but I have always been the moon trying to reflect, trying to guide you, trying not to overshadow you, trying to follow you without actually following you as I express what’s in my heart, even though my heart has sometimes been empty. It has also been as full as the moon itself.  I have always stayed connected. I have always been about the music, The visuals are always pretty to look and an artistic outlet for me, but my river runs much deeper, and my soul is something that I bare ever time I open my mouth to sing. I believe in people. I believe in myself. I thank you for being interested enough to pop by. There is a lot going on right now and this is going to be a great year. So I say: HAPPY TWO ZERO ZERO EIGHT, DON'T BE LATE, JUST RELATE, LET'S ELEVATE, NO MORE TO ANTICIPATE, KEEP IN A GOOD STATE, TIME TO EVACUATE, NO MORE HATE, JUST CAN WAIT, TRY TO ENUNCIATE (that one's for me), DON'T DICTATE, DETERIORATE, THAT'S ALL I GOT TO SHAKE, FROM THE MOON TO ALL MY LITTLE STARS OUT THERE...DON'T BE A FAKE, LET ME TAKE.... YOU AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE, BETTY MOON

December 29, 2007 - NO MORE TURKEY FUNERALS PLEASE!

We're embarking on a TRIP through yet another new year brothers and sisters! That's right, 2008! What will it bring? What have we learned in the last year? Are we moving forward? Are we evolving? These are the questions I ask myself at this time. And of course the most meaningless but important of all questions... where's the party at? Well let's just say IT STARTS HERE. Unfortunately I am not playing this New Years Eve but I will be jamming with a bunch of musical acquaintances starting around 1 or 2 am on January 1, 2008 at a house party in the west end of Toronto. That should kick out the jams into the first day of next year. Not sure what shape I'll be in. I don't plan on too much of a debauch, perhaps just a drink or two from the lovewell. What am I up to? i will most likely be seeing a bunch of friends I'd like to celebrate with, maybe check out BIONIC @ THE BOVINE, will pop by the ROK BOUTIQUE to wish my friends there a Happy New Year and maybe go to a house party or two afterwards. If I may I'd like to just quickly mention that I have a few gigs coming up this month that I will be announcing shortly so STAY TUNED. In the meanest time, try to feel well, lots of love and thanks for popping by and saying hi. A happy and joyous new year to you ALL!
