lo fi garage rock, folk, and other
The songs on this site that I recorded last year were done on a rented Tascam 2400 digital recorder. The more recent songs from this year were recorded on a Mac using the Garageband program that usually comes with a Mac. Yes, they are lo-fi and there are sometimes synching issues (because of either my limited musicianship or because I was using the computer keyboard to play simulated drums instead of a MIDI keyboard or real drum kit), but in most cases they are close to how I envisioned the songs. It's quite fun playing a guitar or bass part on acoustic guitar and then adding the Garageband distortion, "Grunge" guitar amp simulator and/or Vocal Transformer effects to make it sound like an electric guitar or bass.

Story behind the song
I'm sure Prime Minister Stephen Harper is doing what he thinks is best for Canada, but still, I don't share his vision of what this country should be, and I don't like how he has systemmatically stymied the media, stifled debate in Parliament, insinuated that environmentalists aren't patriotic etc.
