Just in time for the holidays, feast your ears on "Have A Parkdale
Hookers Christmas", a festive seasonal ditty penned and performed by the
my band, The Parkdale Hookers, and just uploaded to the website for your
downloading pleasure.

Enjoy, and feel free to pass this on to any of your friends who may
enjoy the seasonal cheer.

I hope all is well with you and yours, Happy Holidays.

Bob Rae's "Same Boat Now" covered by metalheads

Many years ago I was in a band called Landslide.

The Premiere of Ontario at the time was Bob Rae. He penned a little ditty called "Same Boat Now", and submitted it to Sony Music and was laughed at.

Always the opportunist, and in a band with a drummer who was then a TV reporter covering Queen's Park (now he's the Director of Communications for Finance Minister Jim Flaherty), I had the idea to do a power-pop/punk version of the song.

We had a brief media moment over it. I guess you could call it our 15 seconds of fame, and then predictably, Landslide disintegrated.

Now that Bob Rae could conceivably be the next Prime Minister, I thought I'd dig out the old VHS copy of a video Dan made of the song and make it available for posterity.
