Hi Our Basement,
It’s a brutal truth that you can’t help someone who doesn’t realize they have a problem.
All your energy, support and love isn’t enough. Their addiction is out of your control.
No matter how much it hurts, sometimes you have to let go.
My new song, “Forty,” came to me when a close friend relapsed after many years of struggling with opioid addiction. I remember thinking how the cycle of addiction and denial wears people down.
There were just so few people left around my friend that it dawned on me –
the ones who remained, the ones who loved him most, were just the last ones to say goodbye.
I have an album’s worth of material that I’ll be releasing throughout 2019.
I’m looking forward to performing these tracks, live. I plan on growing Frequencies (a monthly concert series that I curate) this year, expanding to more cities and putting on larger events in Toronto. There is just so much going on in electronic music right now, and I feel lucky to be apart of it.
The story isn’t over.
Ted Kennedy
Good Morning
Good day!
Garfield, is it windy? Gareth, I hear…
Good morning.
I had a friend like Ted Kennedy’s. Addiction takes so much.
Hi. Yeah, as you said.
Out for a cycle-errand. Later!
Well that slaughtered me! I am one of a dwindling, very small group of friends … “the last ones to say goodbye”. That is some heart wrenching stuff. I continue my efforts so it is not true.
The music is quite far out of my ears zone. So much so that I am having a hard time hearing the lyrics. It’s like my brain is saying “no” out right, but I am trying to get in there.
I can relate morgana. LIstening to lyrics is hard work for me at the best of times.
I didn’t drop my friend he dropped me. Shuts out everyone that gets close it seems. I am still here if he ever reaches out.
I too have been dropped but then asked back.
I am back to listening to Strombo; I am looking forward to Richard Reed Parry and of course Sting.
Hi Everyone! Listing to your March Release Radar playlist Darbar. Thanks!
Howdy @funhug! How is life on the other side of our snow capped mountains? I can’t believe we live relatively (compared to the rest of the crew here) close to each other and don’t see each other.
Hi @Morgana! We are planning on coming to Nelson next weekend (arriving 22nd). Whitewater on Saturday for sure. Maybe Sunday, Maybe Monday.
Yippee! My kid will be out of town so I have lot’s of free time to visit. FB is messed up right now but lets PM and set something up!
Anyone else having difficulties with FB today?
The “temporarily out of order due to maintenance” message has been coming up for about two hours now.
No biggie, I was just wanting to post pictures of yesterdays road trip.
Hello, It was windy most, if not all of last night but I have been asleep most of the day
A few hours ago, FB screwed up the posting of something, twice.
Of course, it was essential to the survival of the world that others read it, yet I can’t remember what the heck it was.
A good reminder of how unessential FB is.
@b from o I am currently reading, “Braiding Sweetgrass”. A lot of the book takes place/refers to the Adirondacks . It sure makes me want to explore your neck of the woods.
The result of a vote rejecting a no deal Brexit is 312 to 308
they are now voting on another amendment
MPs have voted to reject an amendment calling for a delay of Brexit until May 22nd
Ayes: 164
Noes: 374
Majority: 210
Facebook and Instagram services suffer widespread outages

The Adirondacks, yeah, there are many walking trails there. And those mountains are, if not as dramatic as the Rockies etc., still redoubtable for their changes of weather. And high enough to give your legs a real workout…
They just had another vote against leaving with no deal (I assume it’s to see if minds have changed after the amendment vote)
Ayes: 321
Noes: 278
Majority: 43
There are ‘ayes’ but the others aren’t ‘nays’??? What sort of unbalanced foolishness is that?
welcome to British “democracy”
that is what they are called in the house
ayes to the right and noes to the left
(eyes to the right and noses to the left)
yeah, I have always thought that it sounded like they were describing a Picaso painting
@funhug – Thanks for checking out the playlist. Apparently I didn’t have it on secret as it is supposed to be released Friday! Ha!
@ Darbar – Whoops! Insider’s sneak peak!
I like Lanikai
I really like Lanikai as well! Do you recognize Marti’s voice from Imaginary Cities?
I try to remember to put them on secret and then remember to switch to public when I post them. I am just happy when someone actually checks them out. 😀
I thought it sounded familiar!
Their album Wild Indigo just came out Feb 22.
I had started listening to your playlist, but then I was out for the rest of the day.
Now I’ll get to listen again on Friday.
Thanks DarBar
It will get updated with Friday’s new releases as well, so you should go back to it. For a shorter version of new releases you can always follow my DarBar’s Picks playlist. It usually has my favs of the last few weeks on it.
