Graventown

Hey pals. Just a little internal dip into the mind lake of Graventown these days. The water is a bit frothy. I hope you enjoy and I hope you're all alright. Keep enjoying your summer. Get outside. Watch out for flooding storms.  My new album "Geographics" is out now on all platforms. You can preorder the digital, cd and vinyl versions of the album on my bandcamp page , (which helps...

Friendoes. Hellos. I've been on the road - careening around like a farmer buckshot in a tin pan alley. Yes - I sure did mix those metaphors and I don't mind one bit. I hope this episode finds you well as I recap some of the things that have happened in the last while and I hope you find your way through the heaviness of these times. Please don't stop looking for the helpers. They ar...

Hello my G-town pals. I truly haven't felt like myself lately so I hope you can excuse the absence. Lots going on - and not in the positive sense. Mourning. Upheaval. Life Gut punches (and those gut punches when you're most relaxed and un-ready for the pain). But hey - I'm surviving. Are you? I hope you tune in and get some nuggets from this mining session. I love you. My new album...

Countryfolk and Citydwellers: I hope you wander round to the Graventown get-down. It's been nice to get back into the Podworld (that felt really lame to write) and interview the super talented Jen Baranick from the supersonic fuzz-love-space rock band Broken Down Golf Cart. Broken Down Golf Cart are known as purveryors of spacey grunge and fuzzy weird love began as the audio/visual project of...

Hey pals. I've been a bit delinquent in just getting back into the G town studio grind and sitting down behind the mic, but it felt great to do that today. I appreciate that you're always here listening and being rad and righteous human beings. I talked about my mental state and the importance of going analog, getting offline and connecting with yourself. I love you. May you make the mos...

Hello my dudes. I've been wandering into the waves of whimsical philosophical, nautical leagues and so this was a little carcast for you - to celebrate the olden days of ye merry graventown. I've been up against the existential wall lately so it felt good to say some things out loud on a sunny Monday in the Limestone City of Kingston, Ontario as I gazed upon the harbour. I hope it finds...

Heyo river! I love that Portlandia episode. Does anyone read these things?! Pals from all canals. It's been a second since I beckoned. Been going through the low tide of the final winter ride, post album release show and feeling a bit of a lull-scape. Thanks for giving me a moment to share that with y'all. I love you and we shall chat real soon. My new album "Geographics" is ou...

Alright G-towners - get ready to turn those frowners into upside downers. It's not often I get to share cinematic geekery with an acclaimed actor and director, but Nathalie Boltt was super kind and willing to chat with yours truly for a concise but peanut-packed snickers bar of an episode. For those who don't know, Nat Boltt is a South African actor (in major productions like District 9,...

Friendoes: Hello. I have a special one for you golden G-towners today. Forged and led by the vision of singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Lee Rose, Ace of Wands has become one of Toronto's most creative and captivating bands since forming in 2017. Evoking the art-rock of PJ Harvey, the orchestral-pop of Kate Bush, and the alt-rock fuzz of Nirvana — Ace of Wands is known for their exp...

Friends. Please enjoy the last half view of my new album "Geographics" as I pour over the songs one last time before they are fully out there and running free in the sonic meadows and swimming in your ear lakes. Melissa Payne showed up around the 11 minute mark for a surprise convo to talk about her recent healing journey and we reminisced quickly about making this record. Thank you for...

Hello friends. I'm back at it again for a special interview sesh on Graventown. To quote the great Toronto Mike: “If you grew up with MuchMusic, you understand the impact the VJs had on your life. Bill Welychka was one of the greats. We’re blessed with inside access to the life and times of Bill, who it turns out is much more than a beloved VJ. He’s a beloved human being.” That's what To...

Howdy pals from all canals; it's been one hot minute since I've been within it. Thank you for listening and supporting - even when I'm silent and maybe slightly mentally violent (I just rhymed that - there's no cause for concern). Just a bit of a reflection pod on being thankful to play music at all and a bit of a rearview gaze on my album "Geographics" being almost f...

 Welcome to it. Let's screw it, glue it, and tattoo it. In this episode, I thought it would be fun to do a sonic rundown of the first 5 songs of my new album "Geographics" that started releasing on Jan. 26/26 on Bandcamp. Since Jan 26th, I've been putting out a new song every Monday and Friday and it's been a real journey, so far - and on so many metaphysical levels. I hop...

Friendoes. Hello. Welcome back to Graventown. Population: You. Here's a new one for your mental glue gun. I've been in and out of interviews for the new album (Geographics) so I snuck this one in and tucked it into the ether right under a finely layered stream of stardust gas. Enjoy it. Try not to annoy it. I'm here for ya, baby. My new album "Geographics" is out now on al...

Friends. I'm back at it again. In Graventown. Thanks for being here. Enjoy this little ditty as I re-emerge and reanimate from the woods and taking care of Dante the dog. Cars are hard. Friends are real. The helpers are there. My new album "Geographics" is out now on all platforms. You can preorder the digital, cd and vinyl versions of the album on my bandcamp page , (which helps me...

Heyo River! Wanted to shoot y'all a quickie between xmas and new years in this somewhat indeterminable and liminal space. Be easy on you! And find the reset button for your mind. I'm very excited to release the new album starting at the end of Jan. Stay tuned to Graventown TV to see what it all shall be. Find the gold flecks in your dark forest. They all lead somewhere. I love you. My ne...

Hello friends. I went on a bit of a tirade here, but the mental health battery seems depleted for so many, so I thought it was fitting. Thought I would send one out to the universe before the busyness of the Holidaze craze gets our goats. There are so many digital voices online vying for your attention so don't be afraid to shut certain ones out. Be in the moment as much as you can, because t...

Seasons eatings, my friends. Thank you for the clicks and upticks here in my tiny corner of Graventown. After the recent rad interviews of George Stromboulopoulos and Toronto Mike, it's nice to send out an old school solo mind-massager into the multiverse. I took a few minutes to pause and reflect and look a bit inward in this - the coldest and darkest part of the year. May you find your flow...

From the approved desk files of Lorne Honickman and from the top shelf blue plate specials at Palma Pasta, I was very happy to welcome Toronto Mike to the Graventown. I'm happy to be in the FOTM (Friends Of Toronto Mike'd) Universe. He's actually an incredibly and prolifically busy human being with very little windows outside of his own work, as he not only runs and produces his own...

Friends. Howdy. I sure haven't been around these parts but I've appreciated the clicks and upticks. Thank you! I'm entering hibernation station for this part of the season so please excuse my slow podcast delivery system, but I wanted to fire one off into the universe, regardless. I used to have a supervisor who would say "irregardless of that" all the time to try and soun...

Friends with no love ends; it's been a few seconds. I hope you're all well and raising some kindness and love-based hell. Thank you as always for being along on my podcastical odyssey. Here are some thick thoughts post Canadian east-coast traveling and unraveling after spending a week recording a new album. I talk about my last podcast with Strombo (George Stroumboulopoulos) and hitting...

G-towners and nonfrowners; hello. Well I did tell you that I did indeed have something epic planned for the century mark episode - and I feel pretty confident to say that I delivered on that promise of Epic-iosity. My guest for episode 100 is none other Canadian and American media personality, ex CBC and Muchmusic television host, podcaster, Apple Music showrunner and all around renaissance man Ge...

Friends. I'm incredibly close to episode 100 and I do have something special planned, and as a lead up event - I was lucky enough to pin down the unpinnable Stephen Stanley for a great return to G-town conversation about all things music, our upcoming tour, making albums in the current age, our upcoming tour, living room shows and so much more. Oh - and did I mention that we have an upcoming...

Hello friends. I admittedly don't even remember what this episode was about as I was between Guelph and Uxbridge - and post gig criscrossing and careening through Central Ontarian byways at the time. But I hope you enjoy the vernacular of my cerebral inhaling and exhaling and I appreciate you listening more than you'll ever know. My new album "Geographics" is out now on all pla...

Friends, Countryfolk and city dwellers; lend me your digital devices. Welcome back to another regularly scheduled closed circuit television program called Graventown. I was lucky enough to get a few minutes with an insanely busy Ottawa celebrity, radio and tv broadcaster, comedy advocate, philanthropic community connector and all around lovely dude and dad - Dylan Black. Dylan is someone whose int...
