the london apartments - "put a jacket on" video

Wed, 19 Oct 2005 14:16:40 GMT

we flew out to new york in july. we spent three rushed days taking the subway around the city to shoot it. sean wainsteim of ghostmilk studios was our tourguide.

we made a video for "Put a Jacket On".
since it's getting cooler out now, maybe this song is appropriate. ha!

and now, it's up at our site! http://thelondonapartments.com
seriously, go check it out.

p.s. there's a couple shots with a fancy messenger bag that jordy lucier of pink olive made me :)
take care

back in windsor, show on the 11th @ phog

Tue, 06 Sep 2005 01:09:09 GMT

hello all!

i'm all moved back up to windsor. after a long summer in the county, i'm looking forward to actually being able to get out and see shows and start school and the like.

i'm playing with a new dude, his name is johs st-denis. if you haven't already met him, im sure you will soon.

anyways, we'll be playing at PHOG on sunday, september 11th.

we haven't played there in a long time - since april. so it will be wonderful to play on a familiar stage and hopefully see some familiar faces!

so, here are the details..

sunday, september 11th.
PHOG lounge.
19+
$3 (probably)
THE LONDON APARTMENTS
with -> 87 Things For the Future, Chaos For Comfort

see you there.
as always, thelondonapartments.com

p.s. why won't my wireless card on my windows machine connect to our symaptico wireless router?

NXNE showcase

Tue, 07 Jun 2005 01:39:15 GMT

hello fellow livejournalers..

i am in regina as i write this, on the west coast part of my tour, well actually this is the trek back home, for one day, before heading to NXNE.

i am well and safe and have met many people and slept on many comfortable couches (thank you sarah & jen for many nights of couches and futurama)

this friday, JUNE 10th. if you are in TORONTO, come out to my NXNE showcase at the BAGEL, there is more info on www.nxne.com

as much support as possible would be amazing, i'm showcasing at 10pm sharp. i think there is an act on before me at 9pm and of course more bands after me.

hopefully see you there.

ridiculous

Tue, 19 Apr 2005 21:39:25 GMT

wow,

what a year this has been. a really good year overall i think. i know, it's not the beginning of 2005, but it is nearing the end of school and i have an exam in 1.5 hours for programming in C.

so, what has happend?
         ***
i think many things have happened.

1. i've moved twice
2. my music has taken me outside of windsor, and will take me even further as time goes on.
3. a wonderful label liked my music and i released a cd.
4. i have been in love with a wonderful girl from almost nine months.
5. i found out i really like newcastle brown ale.
6. my parents got new furniture.
7. i spent a little less money on stuff this year than last.
8. i wasted quite a bit of time, but perhaps it turned out productive anyway.
9. i lost contact with many people, but stayed in contact with some very important few.

.
(so with that said)
            things ahead for the summer will include :

1. the tour
2. the moving again
3. the grades i should have expected
4. the money i will lose
                          but, but but.

it is practically summer already, and i read that summer will only be hottter than any other this year.

my cd is for sale now through my website, which will actually lead you to my label's website. here is a picture of the front cover.

if you make money over the summer, consider purchasing a copy. $15 for shipping and taxes.
if i see you somehow somewhere on tour this summer, it will be a mere $10.

take care, be well, take off that sweater.

friday night was amazing. a private living room show at 1901 - jeff's place. i have never played a better show, experienced more amazing music, and had such an emotional group of listeners before me. people were sprawled on the ground, on the couch and outside on the lawn, with their eyes close listening. my words could never describe it. i'm not sure if anyone checked out the online broadcast, but if you did, thank you for that.

needless to say, i am feeling good right now.

so, july 20 trip to toronto is delayed a couple weeks.

my job at the summer camp is lazy.

i just orderd a new fender 72 telecaster deluxe reissue.

i am debating about moving out to victoria and creating (music and otherwise) or staying here in school.

thursday night should be wonderful. please come out, i promise only wonderful things. 10:00pm @ phog.

Sun, 04 Jul 2004 21:46:04 GMT

last night was so great. this windsor community constantly and pleasantly surprises me. amazing performances by bloemfontein miniature ensemble and by the riderless, all great people. i don't know really what else to say, other than thank you to everyone who continually supports me. <3

if anyone feels like they can't make it out to the show on the 15th, but really want to hear what's been going on, there will be another online audio-only show on the 9th, being broadcasted from a private show with the london apartments, bloemfontein and riverfront ensemble playing. there will be all those details on my website if anyone is interested.

in other news, i start my job on monday, well i had started, but not a full-week yet. so there you go. i will also be mailing off some tracks to toronto soon to be remixed by jc of sound of pop.

my grandma is staying with us for a couple weeks, she had surgery on her wrists. it is strange so far, but funny.

that's it.

a crazy last couple of weeks.

point form lists are easiest on everyone: good thinking jordy...

1. no girlfriend, let's keep it that way, jeff says i only get one mutual breakup, i said maybe this one was a waste of that

2. finally got a job, at a drama camp in harrow, its not really a drama camp though, i'm just getting paid to organize, direct, build the set, etc for a children's play

3. got a video up on my website from my performance at milk after hours and trying to figure out good compression, windows movie maker saved my life

4. talked to ruthy, she is still insane and hilarious

5. playing more shows soon, july 3, july 9, july 15

6. heading up to toronto tomorrow, hopefully returning with good news

7. booked my G2-exit test for august

8. trying the steep steep learning curve of silkscreening on paper

9. spent a lot of time with good good people, they warm my heart

10. got destroyed playing pool

two more months before things are back to normal?

well, better than normal.

exams are done
moving home soon
jeff from 'close your eyes' has been playing my music
racewillbegin officially released a virtual 7" of my music today
shows coming up include may 7, 12 & 25 (check thelondonapartments.com)
working at a dirtbike store this summer
going to ottawa sometime in the coming months
drove in the states for the first time (wow wee)
did the dishes for the first time in almost 2 weeks

very exciting, especially the dishes part, wouldn't you say?

at the school

Fri, 16 Apr 2004 18:33:48 GMT

i'm in the basement of leddy, studying for psych because of those damn roofers pounding away at the apartment. this week has been really screwed up. i know i say this without elaborating, but i suppose i am just trying to justify the horrible marks i will get on my exams.

on a lighter side of things, jeff from 'close your eyes', a great show tuesday nights at 7 on cjam, played 'january' a track off of my EP, on tuesday night. i'm going to be doing a little in-studio concert sometime in the next little bit, so i'm mighty excited for that.

last exam tonight, but then i have a big project due wednesday. dred is not really good.

i'm also trying to set up a live audio broadcast from my little apartment for a show sometime maybe over the summer. it won't have video, but it will be live audio, something along the lines of online radio.

hope this warm days finds everyone well.

Thu, 08 Apr 2004 16:00:01 GMT

so there's this big truck with a crane and a conveyor belt attached to it. apparently the apartment building is getting a new roof. thanks for telling us landlord! other than that, the new shirts look great, and i recommend you all purchasing one. check out julie's lj for some pics.

Fri, 02 Apr 2004 17:53:32 GMT

it is cold. classes are winding down. we went to the big tomato last night with julie's dad and his girlfriend. it was nice to have a chat with them, but the food was just okay. our waiter was funny, he spilt the soup, dropped a plate, and tripped on our way over to the table. he was having a rough night, but it was funny nonetheless. then we went back to the parking garage and julie and i were both moneyless. no change, no cash, nothing. so we had to call her dad to drive over to the parking garage and give us some money so we could get out of the garage. it was funny, and a little sad that we didn't have any cash on us. julie got her tattoos, which look great. i was really impressed with kris, i didn't realize he was so capable. my mom's birthday is coming up, what do mom's like for birthdays? i'm only asking because i KNOW that the majority of people who read this journal are moms.

Thu, 25 Mar 2004 22:46:13 GMT

so so so

my visa number was stolen, i'm now one of those funny stolen identity commercials. however, visa was good and fixed it, the third time i called. this site called me asking if i had purchased some software, which i hadn't and so they cancelled it. then i checked my visa online and there was this huge purchase to some weird eye glasses place in the states. when i called visa they said they would have to file a dispute and to wait on cancelling my card until monday. then i called back again to ask about this dispute thing. it takes thirty days to investigate... then i called back a third time, after being recommended to do so after talking to my mom and i talked to a different department. they advised i cancel the visa right away and cleared off all the charges i didn't recognize. whoever i was talking to the first time was on drugs or something. so anyway, visa is good if you talk to the right person. be wary of online shopping, i still have no idea how my number was leaked.

oh and it was nice outside today
