I'm a Vancouver musician and producer new to Project Opus. The artists I work with in the studio as well as the bands I perform with live are well poised to benefit from membership in this burgeoning community. I'm going to be involved in a number of ways--hopefully pushing the Opus Community in some interesting new directions. My immediate personal goal is to all of the recordings I've ever had anything to do with up here, for friends and anyone else is interest to check out. My friends know, if there's one thing I can't get enough of, it's an audience.
In the meantime, I'm going to be contributing as much as I can to the community that's already here and kickin in Opusland and reaching....like a proper sci.fi octopus....ever outwards....

I applied some very humble photoshop tinkering to a friend of mine's rather good photo (here on flickr) to make this Easter greeting. Yeah, I'm kind of a sucker for the seasonal graphics.
in other image news. lots of new action on the Flickr group I administer called BC FERRIES ARE AESTHETICALLY PLEASING.

SONGFACTS is an cheap and cheerful community site that's interesting from the perspective of the upcoming DYLAN concept. In a form far less anonymous than a wiki, the organization of this site nicely blurs the line between "official" (though never exactly reliable) content, content that has been submitted by readers and is admitted to the official part with a "thanks, you", and an open comments section of predictably poor quality. Not quite sure who moderates these, but it's a useful model for content associated with the song. Now if only we could listen to it and see the original videos and link to the rest of the album, etc.

My thoughts on Mirror Mirror
I got stuck after I must have hit save while just starting a review for this dark masterpiece of bedroom metal. All that was saved was my rating and I don't seem to be able to edit or add another review, cause I've already officially done so. But I do have a few words to say about Jeremy Bullocks brand of classic metal. This rocks. I do hope and pray that there is meant to be humour involved here but his vocals truly are dripping with evil goodness. Keep it up Jeremy.
