Buried Inside Poster
New poster for the Buried Inside shows coming up in May (Toronto May 27th @ Sneaky Dee’s, Montreal May 28th @ Katacombes). There will be 50 of these for sale at the shows. Come out and get loose (with that pocket change).
Buried Inside Chronoclast LP
Something Old Is New Again
Redesigned and repressed vinyl version of Buried Inside ‘Chronoclast’ is now available for pre-order from Init Records, out of Sioux Falls SD. This LP is black on black letterpress on black (800 copies) and white/burgundy (first 200) 180 gram vinyl. Strangely, this repress is closer to the original vision the band had back in 2004. It was cool to revisit a design I had been unsatisfied with and do something different. This will be my first experiment with letterpress, really excited to see the final results.
Pelican Fly
When you hear that someone has made a film about Lil’ Wayne you fear the worst. The rap film game is usually handled one of two ways: the written, directed and starring, quasi-autobiographical, scarface-inspired, ‘I thought 75k was a lot of money to make a movie’ kind. The second is basically a higher budget version of the same thing usually importing the written by and directed by credits for a bit of, well, credit. So it was a nice surprise to see LW handled differently on ‘The Carter.’
This documentary follows LW for six months. These include the moments just before and just after the release of his commercial break out album ‘The Carter III’. Footage ranges from interview excerpts, improv guitar (put that thing down dude!), forehead tattoo sessions, live shows, hotel recordings, knowledge bombs (“repetition is the key to all learning. repetition is the key to all learning”), and vehement drug abuse. Regardless of what your opinion of LW is this movie warrants a viewing.
Stills after the link.

And Then There Was One
Last show of the tour tonight. Excited to play as hard as humanly possible, got plenty of vacation coming up to rest. The tour has run its course and as per usual the start drags and the end flies by. But after some 30 days of being in a van with 9 dudes I think everyone is jazzed to go home.
Still have a lot of travel left before the year is up, but this chapter is coming to an end. It’s been an awesome experience travelling and playing with my buds again. Touring Europe has always been a big dream for me and I’m really psyched I got to finally do it with Buried Inside.
That said, it is going to be nice to take a week off in London and spend some time with K. No more early wake ups and epic drives for a long time. MPH out, see you at the Christmas party.
Swedish Sundays
Spent nine hours today driving through dark and eerie Scandanavia. Slept through most of it but during my conscious hours I cranked Timber Timbre. Something great about findingthe perfect record for the moment. By 3:30 the sun was down.
In Sandviken, Sweden playing with label mates Gadget. The club has a list of every show from 1994. Great Swedish acts like Entombed, Hellacopters, and Disfear as well as some Canadians (Born Dead Icons) and classic 90s hardcore (Snapcase and Turmoil). Cool to see a timesheet like that.
No wifi in sight today, but the apartment we’re in above the club has a great VHS collection. Currently watching the Van Damme classic Double Impact. So far it’s proving to be a great way to kill the post epic drive blues.
