We shot the Great Lake Swimmers video last night in Topanga. Controlled chaos in the middle of a pitch black canyon. Giant thanks to Corban, Kari, Marc, Robbie, Flip, Schlam, Josh Forbes, all of the grips and gaffers that spent the night pushing generators and lights uphill through poison oak, and of course, Steve, who hasn't slept in days. 

I'm not one to hype my own projects, but I'm pretty sure this is going to be the Citizen Kane of Canadian folk music videos.

The Pistol Youth video landed in this week's issue of TV Guide (full page here). This is full circle, right? A TV show about old women gets co-opted by young men for the internet, which gets covered by a magazine about TV that's mostly read by old people, in a section devoted to what young people are doing on the internet. Also worth pondering, is why Jimmy Fallon has a water cooler in his office. Is his office in a hallway? Does the break room at NBC have internet access? Someone get that guy an espresso machine or something.

It's another busy week of writing, and revising, and editing, and decision making. And sometimes when I get antsy I cannonball onto city skylines.


Yup, Kate took this.
