I’ve started a new video channel, plus they also host blogs and pictures. I think it’s a pretty neat site. Here’s my page on it: http://www.flixya.com/user/RockinFilms

Canzine today and John Oswald talk
Canzine was fun today! It was packed! And, hot! I met some cool new people and got to catch up on my favourite zine Ghostpine! It’s a real work of art in my opinion. I’ve been reading it for years and got to meet Jeff Miller, the author of Ghostpine today and get a bunch of back issues! I got to hang out with Liz Worth as well (see our video blog from Canzine, coming soon). And, I sold one copy of my chapbook “Like Eden After Rain”…better luck next time, I suppose. Though, the last time I had a table at a show I also sold one copy…hmm…
Also, I caught the John Oswald (of plunderphonics infamy) talk at OCAD this afternoon. Great stuff!
Check back soon for some video that I shot of both events. Oh, and Halloween is one week away!
Interview I heard with The Cove filmmakers on Democracy Now! via Toronto college radio station CIUT
I heard an interview on CIUT, one of our local college radio stations here in Toronto, carrying a Democracy Now! interview with some members of The Cove filmmaking team, director Louie Psihoyos and activist Ric O’Barry. The Cove documentary won an Oscar in 2010, exposing mass dolphin killing and the filmmaker’s dolphin rescue efforts. The information they shared was very moving, such as: dolphins name their young, as the mother gives each one their own unique sound!
One of the men featured in The Cove is Ric O’Barry. Ric used to capture dolphins for use in TV shows (like Flipper) and amusement parks. He told how one of the dolphins used in the Flipper TV show committed suicide and died in his arms (dolphins have been known to stop breathing and kill themselves when in captivity, or when they are being hunted and are surrounded). After this perspective-changing experience, he stopped capturing dolphins and started saving them and working to release them back to the oceans. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ric_O%27Barry
