Our Basement,
After the release of “Chances,” my last single, I was absolutely stunned by the number of people that empathized with the pain that I felt and how they could relate to my feeling of instability on some level. Simultaneously, a lot of critics labelled the song – and me, by association – as ‘pop,’ which was an odd yet completely flattering gesture. I never thought I could be mentioned in that conversation or category. When I wrote “I Followed,” it was like, ‘fuck it, I give myself permission to be a popstar.’
“I Followed” isn’t entirely different from the same feelings of instability and uncertainty I felt in “Chances.” I think the song speaks to an audience of people who find themselves caught in the middle of life, love, and pursuing a passion – negotiating the battle between the 9-5 job and the blog they run on the side, for example. I wanted to write an anthem about trusting your gut and following it.
Read more about the debut of “I Followed” over at All Things Go.
Thank you for listening and I hope the track resonates with you in some way.

Good morning!
Hello
‘Morning!
I like how Unbloom’s blurb is short and to the point.
Hello Hello
Hi Scott!
Hi Scott, please excuse the possibly stupid questio of
Were you part of the cbc radio 3 community?
Hi Benoit,
Chilly this morning, for the beginning of summer anyway.
Hi Garfield,
No question is stupid, other than the one not asked.
I found R3 just as it was closing down, so not really. I used to stream R3 at work. Now I.T. has blocked CBC. I can still stream BBC 6 however. When there is a youtube or WR playlist here then I listen to them.
I’m sitting at the computer all day so I do not go near any screens when I go home. 8hrs is sufficient screen time for me.
Re the weather here: it got down to 8 or 10 last night, but Sunday’s predicted to hit 36! With the humidity, it’s going to be a million degrees.
And that’s C!
So, from 46 to 96, roughly, in the other main scale.
Or from 281 to 319 degrees Kelvin.
It’s not every day that *q* plays Linkin Park.
Good morning friends.
I am excited to be going for a massage today. My body is feeling almost as crunchy as my head.
@scott, nice little bio there. Good to have some fresh faces in/on (?) here.
@therestofthecrew couldn’t make it without the lot of you:)
((((morgana))))
Did I share here that Michael Rault and his band got all of their gear back?
Less than 24 hours and the two guitars and bass were returned by the police thanks to a tip.
Unimpressed this happened in my town but happy they are on the road making music again.
PS
I am off for a few hours now.
it must be warm over their, even Morgana has gone off
Ottawa Bluesfest preparations obstructed by nesting bird
A major Canadian music festival is facing an unexpected, tiny hurdle: a nesting bird who picked the site of the main stage to lay her eggs.
A killdeer and her four eggs could delay the Ottawa Bluesfest from setting up for its 5 July opening.

Hello all! Boy can I relate to his last paragraph. haha!
Hi DBS
Hi Garf!
@morgana – I read about Michael Rault getting his gear back and was very happy about it. That doesn’t happen often.
@Scott – I will try to keep throwing the occasional youtube playlist out for you.
The weather seems to be hot and muggy all over these days.
The killdeer’s nest is, unsurprisingly, being moved. Surprisingly, one metre at the time.
