(Wow ... it actually makes me feel kind of icky and self-serving putting my own band's name as an artist tag, but, well ...)Can we push Christmas back a week, please? I'm responsible for editing and posting my band's podcasts (a.k.a. RoadCasts). We now have two in the can that I haven't finished assembling.

And I came upon it at about the time that the golden age of Canadian indie music began, catapulting bands like the New Pornographers, Broken Soc...

So it's November, and for some of us, that means it's time for National Novel Writing Month. If you've never heard of it, the idea is that over the course of November, you write a 50,000-word novel (OK, more of a novella, but why quibble?). Doesn't have to be good.
