Craig Northey: Journal http://www.craignorthey.com/journal/ en-us 2008-04-28T14:15:49-08:00 Hardstock 08 http://www.craignorthey.com/journal/archives/000641.shtml Sometimes I write because I have the time and then I just see what comes out. Other times I am compelled by an idea. Generally I don’t do either lately because I have been pouring those thoughts into music or... Craig 2008-04-28T14:15:49-08:00 BIG NEWS! http://www.craignorthey.com/journal/archives/000640.shtml I haven't updated here in awhile but I promise I haven't been idle. See below! I hope to see a lot more of you all this year. MapleCore and Kim Cooke hook up to launch Pheromone Recordings with the release... Craig 2008-03-06T11:30:07-08:00 Holiday Thoughts http://www.craignorthey.com/journal/archives/000638.shtml What holiday? I'm a musician. Hope you are all snug in your beds and rolling around in gingerbread crumbs. Renewing bonds and enjoying each other...that is the way it should be. Gift ideas: Go to theWorldvision site and see what... Craig 2007-12-20T11:20:37-08:00 Dr. Do Not So Little http://www.craignorthey.com/journal/archives/000637.shtml Dr.Dolittle could talk to the animals and that might be every child's dream. Why was that just doing little? It was a 10-minute walk to the park. Through the mountainous gray chicken coops and corridors of exhaust in the West... Craig 2007-10-02T13:46:04-08:00 Dark Lotus Land http://www.craignorthey.com/journal/archives/000636.shtml It was easier for the man to see the city on foot. He got his exercise and threaded his way through the hustle and flow of the city. There is no better way to connect. Halifax harbour was vivid and... Craig 2007-09-30T15:41:57-08:00 News, views and thanks http://www.craignorthey.com/journal/archives/000635.shtml There’s been a block in my blogger reflex lately. There has been too much music to stop and write down my abstract musings. Just wanted to thank Tim “the Finger” Der for all his hard work in the myspace realm... Craig 2007-09-09T12:49:28-08:00 Comings and Goings http://www.craignorthey.com/journal/archives/000619.shtml Things I'm up to: - The show with Jeremy Fisher @ the Commodore was so much fun for everyone that Pat Steward & I have been asked to do more of the same. There is some clandestine footage at this... Craig 2007-06-27T14:26:13-08:00 Gig this week http://www.craignorthey.com/journal/archives/000618.shtml I've put up my blanket gig schedule in the "performances" section. The fall looks varied and exciting. I thought I'd give you a "heads-up" bulletin for this week. June 21, 2007 - Jeremy Fisher @ the Commodore I will be... Craig 2007-06-19T09:38:45-08:00 Dirty Creatures http://www.craignorthey.com/journal/archives/000611.shtml Dirty creatures. Wasps, ants, cockroaches, and rats. Stinging nettles, poison ivy, bracken and milfoil. Mudshark, bullhead, leach, jellyfish and the red tide. Rub you the wrong way. Other species key in on you. Rat steals the starling's egg and scurries... Craig 2007-06-15T10:09:46-08:00 Mouse Trap http://www.craignorthey.com/journal/archives/000610.shtml The matted old cat has cancer. Four years past his fighting form there is less drama. At 17 he sleeps a lot, shits and pisses where he wants and smells a little like a teenager's room. He no longer... Craig 2007-05-26T08:56:58-08:00 Musicals http://www.craignorthey.com/journal/archives/000609.shtml Baffled by musicals. Breaking from dialog into narrative song. Barely supporting a bizarre and oversimplified plot line. Opera cooked up in a garage meth lab by sentimental scientists already stoned on the fumes. All glitter and cliché and spinning off... Craig 2007-04-13T11:28:28-08:00 Leap of Faith http://www.craignorthey.com/journal/archives/000608.shtml Had to get over out of the house fast. The dog wanted to go with me. She always does. There was a cup of coffee in my hand and it was in a nice cup. I guess you could call... Craig 2007-03-04T11:59:13-08:00 Newsletter http://www.craignorthey.com/journal/archives/000607.shtml Long time no clicky clacky of keys. Here is a really unimaginative diary style info newsletter. I much prefer to go outside but I figured I better let people know what was up. Doug Elliott, Pat Steward and I have... Craig 2007-02-07T20:51:11-08:00 Two Bridges No Waiting http://www.craignorthey.com/journal/archives/000605.shtml The rain fell this hard for a reason. It ground down on us to say, “have some respect”. Something other than temperature, humidity and a front coming in was at the root of it all. The message was relentless and... Craig 2006-11-15T17:03:24-08:00 Seems Like Forever http://www.craignorthey.com/journal/archives/000604.shtml OK I know. I have been busy with home life and writing a record with my pals. I have a lot of pals but I guess these are the original pals. Pat Steward, Doug Elliott and I are almost ready... Craig 2006-10-31T10:23:10-08:00
