I was thinking of registering An Album a Day as it’s own domain because I felt it would make a good side project/website. However, when I typed in the url of www.analbumaday.com it looked a lot more “porny” then I wanted it to. However, I think I could probably make a lot more money on that site then on anything I could some up with.

I’ve taken down the CDMCA post that I put up yesterday. It will only be down for a few days, but I got some stuff wrong (because it’s really, really complicated and what I thought I knew I didn’t) and I want to correct it before I republish it. But when I do, whooboy will you be blown away… by how long and complicated it is.
Aren’t you glad I give you all credit for being smarter then the average bear, or person even?
No?
God, why am I always wrong?

Regular Feature day (today) will be postponed. I’m almost done something, but not quite. I’ll be caught up by the end of the weekend.

I’m really looking forward to having Tuesday off. It’s such a useful day to have a holiday on, and a short week that isn’t a long weekend? That totally makes sense!
Hey, what are you going to do on your Tuesday off with all the stores and government offices closed?

The year is 2003 (or 2004). The “band” is Topwise, a suburban Canadian trio consisting of me on “vocals” and guitar, Mark C on guitar and Steve W on bass. In the same way The Doors had no bass player, Topwise had no drummer.
Why I ever thought I should do this for a living I have no idea. I mean, I’m an okay guitar player, but I’m such a bad, bad, bad, bad, bad singer that I don’t know why anyone humoured my delusions. Especially Mark, that guy was an enabler, in that he was so nice he’d never tell you anything you did sucked, which is most of what I sand.
Anyhow, one early evening after taking a lot of totally legal cough syrup (green, pungent cough syrup that you smoke) we decided that instead of just jamming we should actually record some music. For what follows I must apologise to The Tragically Hip.
Guys, I’m really sorry, you never deserved to be treated like this, and I swear I won’t do it anymore. I’ve been clean and unrecorded for several years now, so I don’t think you have anything to worry about.
I want you to understand how embarrassing this is for me.
It is very embarrassing, but I’m very brave.
Also, is it sad that the best part of that recording is the preamble where we’re all just talking about this and that while under the influence?
Oh yeah, that recording is totally NSFW if you don’t have headphones. Guess I could have mentioned that at the beginning.

(late breaking story about THC… what was I on… oh yeah)
Hells yeah rock on Topwise.
In the same way the Doors had no bass player neither did Topwise. I usually got so high I fell asleep, and Mark’s brother’s bass didn’t actually work that well.
We were just so, so terrible.
