Moving On..

Damn! I have good taste! Look at all this cool shit... : P

Yeah...you notice any themes?

Close up of the Mr.J shrine...he's a happy guy! Well, just look at that girl right above him!

I'm moving out soon...so I'm posting these photos of my bedroom as it is now. I don't care if anyone else sees since it's not going to exist anymore. I've had to move from one place to another so many times it's insane. Might as well keep a record of it from now..so if I ever get to be old and senile, I'll remember what it looked like.

Toronto makes me sick

So disgusted with the local "scene" in Toronto. I'm so fucking bored and sick of the few people that are into the same kinda music I am. I don't why they're involved though because they nothing but pose and act like their shit does'nt stink. The only people who were actually getting shit done (like putting on shows and DJing parties) packed it in and aren't doing it anymore. Mainly because it was just a couple who got divorced so no more rockabilly or psychobilly shows in this town. It fucking sucks and it's driving me crazy!!
I don't understand why everyone has to have the same shitty taste..all there is the indie rock bands, top 40 dance clubs or hip hop...that is it! There's nothing to do if you have different tastes in music and lifestyle. It's really pathetic. For all the talk that we have here about Toronto being "a world class city" you really don't SEE it anywhere. Action speaks louder then words!! I wish the dumb motherfuckers who claim to be fans of the music would realize that!I really wish I had the energy to organize shows but I don't anymore. I know that I won't get a good response in this backwater town. I know that the so-called "fans" won't support the local scene becuase my name is not as well known to them as their buddies. Too bad they're all so useless and can't do shit to improve the scene. Oh yeah and the racism and neo-nazism does'nt fucking help!I can't wait to move FAR, FAR AWAY from here!!
I'm so disappointed by everyone I met, by their snobby attitude toward me when they had NO reason to be snobby because they themselves have'nt accomplished anything! And I know they're into this lifestyle for all WRONG reasons..because they could'nt make it with the in-crowd at the Tegan and Sara show. It's not because they have a genuine passion and love for the music and life. It's just really a sad state of affairs and I can't wait to be living far away from it. I don't think it could be worse anywhere else in terms of this type of scene.

The Quakes Show in Toronto

This is from The Quakes show in May 2009. They played at The Kathedral..once again it was a great show but there should've been more people there! This is old school psychobilly at it's best!

Big John Bates in Toronto

It's the Jagermeister nurse..watch out!!

Big John Bates himself.

As you can see this was quite the show...too bad it so few people showed up. This made me embarassed yet again to be from Toronto. Come on people, where's the support for GOOD rock bands? Why do shows full of pretentious, boring indie rock bands get packed while no one bothers to show up for the good stuff. Oh well, you posers missed a hell of a show. Anyway I got to hang with my friends from Vancouver and see a great live show. I recorded most of it along with interviewing the band. The interviews will be a part of a documentary I'm working on.

Big John Bates in Toronto

This was shot at the Toronto show just this past October. I also filmed interviews which will be included in a film I'm making now. It'll be out soon so keep an eye out.
