In this week's video, I take a look at Music Biopics, and ask the age old question... why the hell do we keep making these? www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ol_h...

For any Polyphonic fans in Ottawa, this Thursday I'll be doing a fireside chat downtown courtesy of Tech Thursday. Come down if you want to see me talk about the creator industry. The event starts at 4:30 PM, and there will be time for networking after, as well as book signings if you so desire.

what's a good song

What do you think the best music biopic is?

There's such a disparity in process between writing & editing. It's easy to feel progress when editing - you can sit down for 8 hrs & make the video happen in real time. Meanwhile, writing is abstract - slowly gathering thoughts and running ideas through the back of your mind at all hours of the day

The most inspiring story in music is from 1984, when an R&B singer named Ray Parker Jr. got a call out of the blue saying, "We need a song that sounds EXACTLY like 'I Want a New Drug' by Huey Lewis, but it has to be about ghost cops arresting ghosts" and he sent them a finished track 48 hours later

Here's your periodical reminder that I wrote a book last year. It's pretty neat and if you like what I do with my channel, I think you'd dig it a lot. www.amazon.ca/Century-Song...

Pre-dates modern music, but one that I've been considering exploring in a video Music Hall. Reigned supreme over British culture for half a century and then completely and utterly collapsed once American music crossed the pond in the 20th century. Mostly remembered now through McCartney's tributes

This one's kind of a big one for me www.youtube.com/watch?v=MelI...

Next month's video is up on Nebula now. This is one that I've been dreaming about for a long time. Very excited that I could finally make it happen. nebula.tv/videos/polyp...

My good friend and fellow music creator @boundo.bsky.social recently had to take down and re-upload a fantastic video for copyright reasons. If you could give some love and go learn about Björk, it would go a long way to helping a great indie creator. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RX8k...

the pipeline of magic treehouse reading children to 14 hour history podcast listening adults is real and i'm living proof

Pop fans seem to have really taken to the term "recession pop" to describe the Katy/Gaga/Kesha/BEP era of pop and I don't like it. The connection between '09 pop music and the recession feels tenuous to me

Save the CBC. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlvi...

12tone is a fraud and a hack who stole my idea

Prime Minister Carney. What do you mean by the "Department of Sam Roberts Band". Mr. Carney what exactly is their mandate

what should i do my next video on?

I've been thinking about this a lot lately in regards to art as well. There's this idea that it's desirable, or even possible, to discuss things like music, film, tv, and video games without saying something about the cultural and political realities in which they're created and, like... no?

one of the strangest things about the modern age is how the job of the professional creative has become less about putting out creative works and more about making content about the creative process

I was on @polyphonic.nebula.tv and @12tone.nebula.tv's Ghost Notes podcast talking about ~NOISE~ as a genre and a concept. We talked about everything from Nine Inch Nails, to fascism, to free jazz, to the Bum Bum song, to vaporwave, and everything in between. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/g...

My #TBR pile is getting bigger! Merry Christmas to you and yours. #BookSky @polyphonic.nebula.tv

A very Polyphonic holiday! @polyphonic.nebula.tv

In case I've got any Ottawa followers on here, I'll be doing a Century of Song reading and signing at Mill Street Books in Almonte this Friday from 5-7PM!

Calvin you would have made a great video essayist

you should listen to some curtis mayfield right now

The last episode of Hit Record: An Incomlete History of the Music video is up now. This project has been a serious undertaking, feels good to have it done. Thanks for all the kind words from those who have been enjoying it! www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNqq...

now that i have a public forum again i gotta say @jasonkpargin.bsky.social's "I'm Beginning to Worry About this Black Box of Doom" is one of my favourite books I've read in a long time

alright, i'm shaking off my rust and starting to figure out how to post again. who are the good follows here?

thinkin' of maybe posting again?

the only thing you really need to be a motion designer is null objects

I just released a bunch of looping one minute clips into the public domain. you can use these loops for anything you want. i'm gonna use them for my halloween party next weekend. check them out here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=23Wp...

why are so many punks lanky

I've decided to start selling some prints of the art I make. Check them out if you want a piece of my art on your wall. Gonna be adding some more soon. I'm thinking of re-making certain frames from videos as art too, so if you have any favorites lmk. www.inprnt.com/gallery/oddm...

Sometimes I'll challenge myself to see if I can create an entire video from scratch with no script in under 24 hours. This is one of those challenges, and I think it turned out pretty well:

look the roman empire is great and all, but dudes should be dedicating more mental real estate to the spanish civil war

oh hey, guess what day it is.

Thrilled to announce the launch of my new series, Axe to Grind, which documents the birth and 'death' of the electric guitar solo. Check out the first video on Nebula now. Until the end of the month you can get a LIFETIME subscription to Nebula. Details below!

Got some big stuff coming down the pipeline very soon.

I love that Bob Dylan album "Ron Weasley Harding"

lil wayne's guitar playing is good, actually

What are some of your favorite characters from songs?

New video is up on YouTube! This one is more casual than my usual video essay stuff. I had a lot of fun making it and I think I'll try to do more casual content like this in the future. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASBcGYAp3xs
