MORE GREETINGS FOR THE OCCII'S 31st BIRTHDAY!

O is where the heart is
C-ing is believing
C what I mean?
I of the beholder
I-conic beauty
O is where the art is

C for yourself
C it with somebody else
an I-deal
for I-deas

Oh to see two eyes

GIFTS, MILK AND THINGS
533 College St., Toronto

One of my favourite #signs ever. What they had to offer covered a lot of territory One specific item, two incredibly broad. (Look carefully & see Cigarettes, Tobacco painted over).

This was inspiration of the title of #TwoPinDin's double 7-inch release with G.W. Sok in 2014. This photo was considered as the cover of the record but we decided Wilf Plum's swell artwork suited us much better.

Went today for the first time in awhile to the #birdsite.

Ugh. Do I need this? Really? No.

I will no doubt check in from time to time, most likely for breaking news, but like many others, I find the #fediverse is a much happier, healthier and much more fun place for me to exist.

And to end on a happy note, here's a couple of pix of my old dear comrade in #TwoPinDin , Mr P, in his role many years ago as STUNT ELVIS. Yeah, you heard me right.

#Introduction

Hi! Canadian from #VictoriaBC who has been living in #Amsterdam for 31 years. Just over half my life.

Politically LEFT

Music, film, art design junkie. Same 4 food & cities

Guitarist in the alt-punk rock band #NoMeansNo in the 80s when I was in my 20s
I've played in #TwoPinDin for years

I'll always miss the west coast (best coast), but I love my adopted city of A'dam. Its architecture, history, people. And its bikes. Love my bike!

Happy to be here on @mstdn.social

My co-conspirator in Two Pin Din, Wilf Plum, is also one third of the wonderful Belgian trio LEM. They have just released a new album which is super fab. Dark, sweet, compulsively danceable.
