Godspeed You! Black Emperor

"Lift your skinny fists like antennas to Heaven."

Our blog title is borrowed liberally from the 2000 release from Godspeed You! Black Emperor. Of course, this blog has nothing to do with GYBE and little to do with music, save for a chronicling of our inaugural trip to Austin and SXSW this March.

Canadian post-rock? Songs averaging over twenty minutes each? No vocals other than sampled audio recordings? What's not to like there???

In reality, our blog title is meant to remind me how annoying it is when artists become pretentious or snobby about their craft.

We're going to use our small area of web estate to chronicle our hobbies and interests. I'm going to write and post photos of projects (wood working, painting, graphic design and screen printing) and sarah is going to probably write about her dogs, books and tv shows.

Hopefully, we'll be able to share some ideas and hobbies with you, and we'll both learn something along the way.

Finally, happy birthday Ty Senour, wherever you are. Godspeed You!
