Terry McBride and Nettwerk...Innovators or Internet Bullies?

Fri, 01 Aug 2008 19:56:22 -0700

Terry McBride and Nettwerk...Internet visionary or schoolyard Bully?

Yesterday I received an email from my friend David Gratton of Project Opus Technologies (also known as www.projectopus.com). It contained a cease and desist order from Nettwerks’ lawyers demanding two songs, Captive and Temptation, be immediately removed from my Project Opus web-page. Now these two songs were co-written and recorded 20 years ago with Sarah McLachlan and I had them uploaded and available for streaming from my Project Opus page. They were just part of my ‘archive’ of old songs that I wrote and played bass guitar on. Now, I co-wrote these two songs so you would think that I had/have the right to post these songs on my web-pages such as Opus and MySpace BUT think again!

My First Heart-Attack!

Sun, 20 Jul 2008 12:00:03 -0700

So, what do you do after your first heart attack?You heard me right...I just turned 44 years old and had my first heart attack (not that I'm hoping for a second one!). Well, actually it was more of an angina attack, my heart didn't actually stop but I can tell you it definately wasn't a pleasant experience.So let me explain a little bit...less than a month ago I had an experience where I was just walking up the hill heading home from Vancouver's Wreck Beach. It's quite a steep hill but I've done ...

The end of a Canadian Institution?

Fri, 06 Jun 2008 13:10:05 -0700

Hockey fans might have heard that the CBC has decided to change the theme song to Hockey Night In Canada. Wow, to Canadians that's like changing our National Anthem to a Nickleback song! It would SUCK!Anyway, here's some HNIC composer trivia...Most of us should remember a Vancouver band called MOEVThe original line-up was Mark Jowett (from Nettwerk), Cal Stephenson, Tom Ferris and a sublime vocalist by the name of Madeleine Morris.Well guess who Madeleine's mother is? None other than Dolore ...

SOL 3...Grizzly Adams? Farewell Show!

Tue, 06 May 2008 09:10:16 -0700

Hello Friends:SOL 3 is sad to announce the upcoming departure of our good friend and current drummer Rick "Grizzly" Adams from the band. As they say, time sure flies when you're having fun, and I can't believe it's been four years already since we first met and started playing with Rick. After dozens of shows, the recording of our Monster CD, Ultrafade, and taking the internet radio and podcast world by storm, Grizzly has decided that it's time for him to move back into the wilderness to be with ...

It's all right here on Project Opus

Tue, 11 Sep 2007 11:08:58 -0700

What a wonderful evening I had last night. I got home around 7pm, kicked off the shoes, cracked a brew, stuffed my pipe and just settled in to listen to all of the incredible new uploads on Opus.
Ian Babington, Dead Letter Office, J-Lim, some Death Metal from Japan, Jon Huffer, Joe Pop, the instrumental stylings of Twilight's Edge and the AWESOME new album by Arctic. I even enjoyed the electronic/drum & bass offerings! Though not usually my bag I certainly enjoyed the sub-woofer workout!

I may regret this but I'm too upset to care.
Shame on Project Opus for cowtowing to this 'rustic' individual and removing the comments.
I've been on Opus since it went public and I've never come across someone so rude!
He has personally attacked and insulted two different members here. You've deleted porn and viagra sellers, and they've never attacked anyone here!

If you just want a place to put your 'reviews', there are many other blogspots to choose from.

Toothpaste and PureTracks

Mon, 11 Jun 2007 23:29:01 -0700

Ok, so I'm out buying some stuff that I need and I pick up a couple of tubes of Aquafresh.
Oh, bonus!, a couple of free downloads from Puretracks! Excellent.
Knowing full well that there'll be the usual signing up bullshit, but I'm game.
What did you call me Amos? Early adaptor? I think I'll be a little 'late' next time.

Anyhoo, I have to sign up for an Aquafresh account first. yadda yadda
