Letter to Aaron Leeder of Faces Together

Hey ho, One listen to your new album and we’re reminded why you are our favoritest guitarist ever. Persistently bizarre, off-kilter, beautiful, frustratingly infectious. We go to bed every night in peace, knowing that, at any given moment, somewhere in the world, you are making a lot of people’s unicorns happy … …ahem. Keep up… Read more »

Exit Clov’s New Album Is Finally Done!

I still can’t believe it… but here’s proof 🙂 –> http://exitclov.bandcamp.com/. It’s been a real journey through this album, but really what album isn’t a journey? Ask any band, I suppose. And it always takes longer than you planned. The songs on this album were mostly written the year after Memento Mori came out in… Read more »

The Vancouver Mountains

On some mornings, pretty placid pictures are just what you need to start the day off. It calms me down by reminding me how much bigger the world is than the little micro-world, micro-politics, micro-dynamics which one little person can get so easily caught up in.

You may have noticed we’ve  been playing a handful of Taiwan-related events of late (perhaps something to do with the Island X album). Well, one thing we’ve learned from these shows is that it ain’t a real Taiwanese event if it ain’t all about the food. By this standard, Toronto’s Taiwanfest this past weekend was… Read more »

A Day Off Is a Beautiful Day Indeed

Day off for a moogle. Nothing beats a relaxing sunny afternoon to sit at my table with my laptop and sewing machine, and a hot cup o’ joe to boot 🙂 Check out my sick pink skull mug, newly gifted by Mama Hsu (TJ Maxx Retail: $3.99). I have a handful of things on my… Read more »

Latest Make: Gray Floral Print Bag

So I’m almost finished with this little baggie that I started making before my sewing machine’s backstitch function broke several months ago. (It has since gone through the (Soviet) Sears repair process.) It’s a pretty simple bag – the same pattern that’s used at Bits of Thread in Adams Morgan. I made one before using… Read more »

HOW TO: Outfit a Band Merch Suitcase!

In preparation for our tour to Taiwan last month, Em and I were busy little bees! (reference: the scene in Gladiator, when Joaquin Phoenix accused his sister of plotting against him). teehee. Whereas our ragtag Clov army is normally very unorganized about our merch, this time we were determined to have one of those nice… Read more »
