east general cassette

Oh hey. So first this record came out via mp3 a month ago, now it is out on cassette. You would think we would have somehow timed everything to come out at the same time (vinyl is available MAY 5th! on Mexican Summer), but things just didn't work out like that. Who cares! Here is the tape version limited to 250. Printed as professionally and as 90's looking as possible, as this is basically so I could have a copy that looks like the tapes I used to buy at Music World at a mall in Scarborough I used to go to when I was 12. For all you audio nerds out there I think this version of the record probably sounds THE BEST. Say what you want about it, but this is not a lo fi record. At times, this is a bigger and thicker (and muddier) recording than any 500$ a day studio would dare pull off, ya heard me? And it was all FREE!

Release The Bats has released this, and you have to order it from Sweden because that's where they are from. I went there once (or twice?), it looked like Canada and everyone was a really attractive zombie.
Don't worry though, I'm sure Ikea will carry it soon worldwide. Let's hope they combo it with a Daim Bar, or some of those marvelous meatball plates. Speaking of Ikea, my bed mattress was purchased there. The model is called FloorVag. no shit eh. Wowzers.

GOOD LUCK!
How much does it cost?
This much:
55.00KR

PACE, FOOLS!!

week in the life

Well, another weeks gone by! Man Oh Man!
This time I found myself in Kensington Market in Toronto! Aka The Venice Beach of Toronto!
I caught a live showing of hippies who'd been exiled from Vancouver. It was nauseating as all hell!

Amanda got so scared of the hippies, I had to phone two hard ass male friends of mine to protect her from the hippies.
Oscar was so enraged at the sounds that he dislocated his jaw while eating one of them.
Then Trash Talk came and beat the shit out of everybody else.
Then we all went and cooled the fuck off. After chillin for a bit, I found this map made for me by Mike "7th heaven" Haliechuk. It was supposed to be a guide for all the things I should be doing with my life in the Year of the Tiger.


But instead all it lead me to was a deer, so I killed it.

Then I ate it, it was gross. Also the wine gave me Asthma.

Then I left this for Mark cuz we should do the next Roommates tape. But instead of recording he flooded the kitchen so I'll take that as a "not right now". Sorry nerds.

So instead I recorded Tropics for a lathe 7" and a single, and then I went to their show and watched them destroy an entire basement and get hit in the head with bibles. I also stood behind Simone the whole time she was drumming and smoked 19 bowls and got hit in the dick with her sticks a couple times.

Then I went to sleep and dreamed I was sleeping with my cat, but woke up and it was Dylan from the Bitters. Gross.

My cat appeared though after a while, and had found a piece of string and he had put it around his ear like a hat! What a WEIRDO!!

GUVNOR CINDYS GONNA SAVE ME 7"


Hey I just dropped another smash single for the summer. Dirt Nap Records from Portland is putting it out. Gold vinyl and all that cool stuff! It's a documentation of my time on set with the Jonas Brothers (not really actually at all)... Cindy is my agent for the extra work I do, and I've never met her - so the song is loosely based around that.. It's basically just about a person that I've never met who literally puts money into my bank account for doing nothing.. A fairy god mother type if you will. Also I sent her this song once to get into her good books to get more jobs to make more money for rent (the real reason for this record. HA!), and now a bunch of the other extras on sets have heard it and its embarrassing and I think they think I am in love with her or something because I wrote her a song. Also, it worked and I get more work and more money for rent. The cover is Nick Jonas with my eyes photoshopped over, and its a scan taken from a real 10 year old girls wall when I was filming a movie project playing a leather jacket bad boy in a film by Danielle Nemet (she will post this one day, and it will be awesome. its basically jerk off material for the entire world because it features the huckleberry twins in nightys and pajamas and shit. mad weird. - danielle rules and basically takes all the amazing photos for all the records i am a part of these days). Anyways, thats it. The Cindy A side was written with my roommate Marvelous Mark Fosco, and the B side features Mr Jo from Fucked Up/Madmen/Career Suicide on drums. B side was inspired by a David Suzuki documentary about weed (i was high). Good song.
Thanks again.
bye

bedtime stories 7"


Hello everyone. I'd like to announce another Guvnor 7" release. This single is called "Bedtime Stories". Gross art by Amanda from Huckleberry Friends. (Attn: Marion Aka Grandma - STOP READING RIGHT HERE) The song is about a time in my life where I was having a bit of a problem 让过去的经验中因正常的亲密关系与亲密的时刻shadier方勃起。是啊,这就是正确的。Maybe I'm revealing too much here? I think the whole be really transparent and open Fucked Up/Pink Eyes vibe has rubbed off on me a little too much!! Oh well. Those times are in my past, and I'm fully functional and now theres a cool single to document it all! YAY! The flip side "The Cutter" is about a similar time in my teenage life where I would steal my mums car and meet lots of strangers off the internet in the middle of the night. I hung out with a girl who had some real problems one time (this isn't supposed to be funny or cheeky). It left an impression on me. I can only hope she's alright. I met a lot of different and interesting people this way in some pretty shady areas of the city. It was kind of like a secret life for me as I didn't ever really tell anyone (except Matty D and sometimes CeCe Diemond) and in retrospect it was dangerous and stupid. 多伦多可能认识到这个故事。绝对满足了我过去唯恐在很久以前她。亚当基安布郎,愚蠢的他妈的'的男孩。
边亲密的时刻。是啊,这就是正确的。

I've said too much.. My mother would not approve of me openly chatting about "royal family-esque controversial matters" (shes british). Ha.

(Ok, Marion You can start reading again here). This record is out on Southpaw Records who I think are from San Francisco. A dude named Rob does the label. He did an amazing job on the printing and the vinyl, and everything looks and sounds really good. Will be doing more with him, its a new label but he takes it very seriously - respect!

CLICK HERE TO ORDER!

video coming soon by dona a
(she did the "pretty real"/"censored" cover art for upcoming bitters LP [vinyl release date for that changed to early may BTW])

if you are just a passer by with no intention of ever buying a record, and are kinda just here to watch me make an idiot out of myself which I do pretty fuckin' well.. Check out the song here.
ANYONE KNOW HOW TO STREAM SONGS ON A BLOG SO I NEVER HAVE TO USE A MYSPACE AGAIN? I"M NOT THAT SAVVY AND A BIT TOO LAZY TO REALLY DO ANY RESEARCH.

People who pre ordered "bedtime stories" get it on weird clear/blood mixed colored vinyl. It looks like bloody semen.

Next up (like next week or sooner) : Cindy's Gonna Save Me 7" comes out on Dirt Nap. Keep Checking. Lots more in the works, and some video stuff.

yesturday was a good day


Morning: HBF first lathe series record sells out in an hour with dudes setting alarms so they could buy it at 7am. Dudes on Terminal Boredom get rock hard boners.

Afternoon: Thriller Energy Sue Fucked Up! Aah! Potential interviews with CP24 get scheduled (I'm supposed to pretend I am the owner of Thriller) then canceled as people realize its April Fools Day. The whole thing takes off, and is funny.

Evening: "Punk" Much Music with Josh. Big ups to Devon and Jessica and everyone there for not catching on and being cool about it.

Late night: The Bitters "Traveling Girl" gets played during a high fashion runway event for Betsey Johnson at Liberty Grande in Toronto. Millions of guidos and snazzed up ladies bop to something I recorded on my 4 track. Funny. Thanks to Avery for the invitation! The fashion world is WEIRD!


As a side note, I felt not a shred of guilt or regret about the trickery pulled by FU yesturday on fans and media alike. However.. I'd like to let it be known that when I sent this fake picture of toothless Ben to my girlfriend, brother and mom telling them a wigger pushed me off my bike and I smashed my face into a car and knocked my tooth out and them being such caring and great individuals completely bought it and felt great sympathy for me [(suckers) for some, I let the joke go on all day until they saw me at night]... I felt kinda bad.


Also look at this hilarious white cat I saw today on a white corvette. IT WAS NUTS!!!

FUCKED UP VS THRILLER ENERGY DRINK



After Sxsw, Mike wrote a great article in support of bands verses leeching companies banking off the music. One of these companies supported us by backing our showcase in Texas, but Im afraid did not back the 'defamation of character' brought on by the article and other news sources who picked up on it. Thriller Energy Drink (THE WORST ONE!) are now sueing the band.

Please Join this Group.



LOOK AT THEIR WEBSITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
