Recent Shows

Jay and I saw two shows this past week, so here’s a post about that. We saw Mastodon at the Spectrum, then later that week we saw M. Ward at Sala Rossa. Both shows were excellent, but I suspect Jay and I were probably the only people to be at both shows. Videos below! Both bands featured really incredible musicians, albeit talented in completely different ways. Whereas the guys in Mastodon probably spent years in their bedrooms chained to ever-quickening metronomes, M. Ward has a much more jazz- and folk-influenced style.

All Is Quiet On New Year's Day

Today is the first day of the new academic year here at McGill. Time for all the undergrads to come back, to meet a bunch of new people, and to see everyone who’s been off in the field come back. I’ll be busy as ever this term, TAing courses in evolution and bioinformatics, and playing intramural ice hockey, volleyball, and Ultimate.
