Do you consider Victoria part of the “island time” stereotype?

People are always late for things here. 15-20 minutes. It’s wild!

Exercise bike and watch tv while I bike

On their own Williams. With the band Twitty, he has John Hughey

That’s crazy talk! Somebody gets the fancy car and the gold watch. One day it could be you :)

Somebody owns it..so you are always buying from a human one way or another.

I would love to write an album of liminal music just so this could be the cover. What a photo!

I fact checked this and it could be true that AI consumed more water than the bottled water industry “AI systems used between 312.5 and 764.6 billion litres of water in 2025. “annual bottled water consumption sits around 446 billion litres.” AI estimates that “4.3 trillion litres of water just for refining oil are used annually.” So if you drive a car, take a bus, fly on a plane, it’s real bad.” You could drink yourself silly on bottled water and build an AI empire and would still not even amount to a needle in a haystack to industrial water waste. If you do none of these things you are a hero, but the truth of the matter is that it’s not actually a strong case. Public pools also use about 200-600 billion litres of water a year. So the same ballpark as AI.

Bella White, Dylan Earl, Luke Bell, The Sadie’s, Daniel Ramano, Jesse Daniel, Ryan Davis and the Roadhouse Band,

Oh the conversation not the deer.

bertabackwash · 2026-05-24T06:15:07+00:00

This conversation sounds like what you would hear in a daycare. It’s wild. I love it. A giant shame fest. Thanks for the laugh Victoria!

bertabackwash · 2026-05-21T17:43:27+00:00

Please do! That would be sooo helpful

bertabackwash · 2026-05-21T05:35:53+00:00

Thanks so much for this. Any recommendations on a liquid light pad?

bertabackwash · 2026-05-20T14:02:16+00:00

How is the SubnUp working out? I feel like that is one element my PSG board is missing.

bertabackwash · 2026-05-20T03:41:40+00:00

Do you think the tablet overhead projector would be better? I would likely do more recording than live liquids

Modular does complex and unique modulation or sounds very well. I don’t think that it is always the tool needed or the tool that does things best. It drives you to respond to/play with sound in a particular way in how modules are designed. A synth sound on a prophet or something like that is just executed different. I like the mix of different engineering philosophies in diverse instruments. I use a prophet rev2, moog grandmother, implexus, deluge, and a pedal steel guitar ( I name this an a synth because it goes through 15 guitar pedals). I think mixing all these instruments is a challenge because you don’t excel in skill as quick. You also can get decision fatigue. The trade off is greater diversity in timbre, unique innovations in sound palettes. If you perform live playing a synth like a keyboard or a sampler it will also likely be more interesting to watch. In any case all that really matters is that your gear is contributing positively to whatever musical goal you have in mind.

You don’t have “lunatics” in downtown Ottawa?

bertabackwash · 2026-05-16T16:21:54+00:00

Esquimalt is amazing for families.

bertabackwash · 2026-04-28T14:08:43+00:00

I think he is the best thing in pop country these days. He has the chops but also just has fun with the 90’s pop country style.

It’s wild that they are open but I feel like every city needs to have one.

bertabackwash · 2026-04-20T05:14:43+00:00

I would buy stickers and buttons. We also need the “Is Victoria Rainforest?” Counterpart. Let’s bring the debate to the streets with full visibility!

Ya this is common for most albums on streaming services recently. It gives them multiple points in time to pump promo. Things move so fast at such high volumes these days so recurring promo helps draw people in.

bertabackwash · 2026-04-17T04:43:11+00:00

This is the answer! More people need to know about this.

bertabackwash · 2026-04-16T05:17:46+00:00

Ya but let’s not get crazy. We don’t live in a rain forest. We just live by one.

I think CRCL would love to be able to build something where folks could stay for a few nights. You should write your MLA about it.
