I’ve always been fascinated with shoes. Well, that’s a lie, maybe it’s just been over the past 10 years or so. But my favourite brand of shoe is Fluevog. I now have about 5 pairs of this blessed brand which has markings on the sole like “resists satan” and John Fluevog has created an entire [...]
So, I just learned that according to Google, there is a scientific way to find out which Youtube video is actually the funniest. Seriously. They’ve developed some algorithm and set up this cool little voting system called Youtube Comedy Slam where you can vote on which video you like better, earn points, bla bla bla. Google [...]
I originally posted this on the TribeHouse Collective site (if you care), but I was so stoked to see that at least 1.5 minutes of last night’s Grammys didn’t suck. Not often do you hear the raw truth being told about the music industry from a rock star like Dave Grohl from Foo Fighters, but his acceptance speech [...]

Craig Cardiff came over for a Dutch pancake breakfast this morning after playing an intimate show at the Streaming Cafe last night. After touring relentlessly for several years, recording a discography of 20 albums, playing well-known venues across North America, having gone through the whole mainstream management thing (Feldman), he now tours alone & manages himself. [...]
Every once in 23 years or so I’ll come up with a great idea. This is the latest one that I’ve been working on for the past 6 months or so called Collabatube. As with most ideas that I think are life-changing, they end up being exciting concepts that take either way too much money, [...]
I’ve been told that I am a sketchy parent because of the advice I give to my kids. I love my son. Does this video contradict that? You decide. Share
3 years after my dad died of cancer, I had an incredibly life-like dream where I not only saw my dad, but encountered him in a way that changed my life. This song is a response to that encounter and dedicated to my dad, my best friend, and encourager until his last breath: Henk Boesten [...]
I didn’t think it was humanly possible, but there is such thing as an accidental beer bottle solo. You have to drink JUST enough to where the tone matches the track. This happened in the studio the other night as I was laying down some more tracks to the tune What Matters with Ari Neufeld [...]
My wife just smashed my iPhone because it woke her up early this morning and wouldn’t turn off. OK, the long(er) story is that my screen was totally cacked (AKA hooped, jarred, not-working). I tried fixing it so it was either: Peacefully throw it in the garbage Film her taking out her hammer aggression on [...]
Though I didn’t know him personally, Steve has affected how I think & create. Because of his innovation there are tools out there now that make my life simpler. Because he had the balls to do something different. Out of the box. I admire this type of thinking because risk is a characteristic that not [...]
After 7 years and a kick in the ass from the book “The War of Art“, I’ve decided that I need to throw the latest tune I wrote onto some tape (or harddrives). This book, along with some prodding from some of my friends, has been challenging me to get into the discipline of doing [...]
Who writes the rules on who deserves a vacation? Does someone who works 60 hours / week for 2 years straight and never takes a sick day deserve a break? How about a single mom who just went through a divorce? How about a cancer survivor? Well, some friends of ours from the US of [...]
So, I wanted to see if my iPhone could really still work if I put scotch tape over the screen. But, it would look pretty lame if I just had scotch tape on my screen for no reason, so I decided that it needed to be broken. So I broke it. Turns out, my iPhone [...]
What Matters – the first, original, rough version. HOW IT WAS WRITTEN: I wrote the bulk of this song after coming home from the Memphis Folk Alliance from Feb. 16 – 20, 2011 where I was helping to represent Roadmap Music (PS – unbelievable trip). I went down with some of the coolest people [...]
I dream often. I remember most of my dreams for about a day after I wake up but there have only been a few dreams that have shaken me to the core…enough to write it down and share it with complete strangers… For the past month, I haven’t been able to shake the images from [...]
