songs of joy - julie doiron - glad to be alive

Julie Doiron - Glad to be alive - TV DESSERTS ep. 8 from josh lyon on Vimeo.

We had breakfast with Julie and $100 after an amazing show at the Grad Club in Kingston... She was kind enough to let us record this song... Which I hadn't heard before that beautiful sunny day - It just happened to be on CBC as I was on my way out the door to Greg's house for breakfast, and seemed the most fitting anthem for that first warm sunny day of the year.

Who Killed Davey Moore - my new animated music video for Colin Munroe

2009-03-06T06:25:00.000-08:00

Colin Munroe - Who Killed Davey Moore from josh lyon on Vimeo.

A full length animated music video for Colin Munroe's masterful re-vox of Bob Dylan's Who Killed Davey Moore.

This has been a labour of love for the past (sleepless) month of my life... I used to play bass in Colin's band and have since followed his trajectory as his musical works (which was already great) just keep getting better and better! And more and more people seem to be catching on too...

And then his manager asked me if I had interest in visually interpreting Colin's interpretation of this Bob Dylan song about a boxer... he threw a couple of ideas my way and I spent the next month or so cutting paper, shooting, animating, compositing, refining, etc. into what you see before you.

phew.

This one's for Jonny

2008-04-29T12:12:00.003-07:00

Aerotone is a fantastic online record label - all beautiful ambient and almost all free! Some of my favourite music is stuff I found here and they don't seem to want much in exchange.

Le Mepris is currently blowing my little feeble mind...

(It's for Jonny as I figure this would make a sweet 'worship trick'... I should prob. pass it his way... )

Entire Cities' Deep River - Now Available!

2008-04-15T10:52:00.006-07:00

Listen to this post!

Entire Cities' Deep River is now available! You can even get it online at Zunior.com.

"Really, I can't find anything wrong with this record, and more importantly, I don't want to. It's a great showcase of a lesser known Canadian band doing all the right things. They are trying new things, without ever drifting too far into the experimental sounds that often bog down these type of records." - Read the full review at Herohill.com

"...albums this amazing/wonderful/superb/
whatever-other-positive-adjective-you'd-ever-want-to-affix-to-an-album don't come around very often, and I sincerely hope that in a decade I'll still be able to appreciate something that strikes me as deeply as this one does." - i (heart) music

The Gertrudes

2008-04-09T13:42:00.002-07:00

Well, I know I do not have a vast readership and I try to keep on track, but as you (anyone) knows, I love music, it brings me joy and, well, I reckon playing music with folks is pretty darn sacred.

With that excuse, I hereby plug my newest band project: The Gertrudes.

We have a myspace where you can listen and download a song for free!

Greg Tilson and Annie Clifford are the primary song writers, we arrange collaboratively. The lineup consists of accordion, bass, keys, drums, trombone, guitars, banjo and lots of gang vocals and pretty harmonies... we're even working on an all accordion version of "Reel in the clothesline"... secret info leak... you didn't hear it here.

Check it.

Rock.
