Niçoise Release #TorradaFresh

Words Of Release [off Goodbye Monday Blue (2009) and Reflected.10×10 (2012)] catalyzes a tuna salad niçoise in the latest episode of #TorradaTorrada‘s #TorradaFresh with Luanda Gazoni. The YouTube description has Luanda giving my work a wonderful shout-out, too, and the feeling’s mutual. Amo from Brooklyn to Brazil, Luanda!

echo lake: fundy adventure rally

Echo Lake [off Stay Home vs. The Love Shoppings (2007) and Reflected.10×10 (2012)] powers the middle legs of this video recap of the 500km Fundy Adventure Challenge rally. I’ve only ridden a motorcycle twice in my life – the last time over 20 years ago. I’ve not had any opportunity since, so the GoPro cycling vids popping up now w/ my songs are 100% xclnt.…
