Mad tunage updates

Counting backwards from May 15th, here are my tune picks for each day.

On Sunday, May 15th, Jack Johnson was following me around. He was on in the shops. He was on in the restaurants. He was on the radio. Something about Sundays. :) I still haven't seen him live yet, so I must make a point this summer!

May 14th was Everlong by the Foo Fighters. My buddy Nathan Whitney of Aberdeen posted the video on his Facebook page as his Happy Song and I stole his selection. Something about old school Foo Fighters.

I think I posted this video before about Dave Grohl and his addiction to coffee. It's too funny not to post again! My buddy Donny sent this my way a logn time ago. Like grohl, he is fellow drummer and coffee fan. It's a cult, I tell ya.

Friday the 13th was Deep Sleep by Toronto Indie band, Automatic Toys.

First time I saw these guys was at Sound Academy in March. I was interviewing The Junction for Unchartedsounds.com when Automatic Toys were doing their soundchecks. They were pretty sexy sounding, even in the raw checks. So when I saw them live, I was pumped. The lead guy has capturing stage presence.


May 12th was anything Aberdeen. I hung out with the guys at Gibson's Lounge when they organized their own Showcase. Organizing a showcase is a huge deal and is a lot of effort. The guys hit the stage at 8:45pm, but were setting up gear an dmerch from 2pm onward. Super decidated guys. And super talented too!
