Tonight I wound up on the national ten o'clock news. For reasons unknown, a producer tracked me down, asked to interview me this afternoon and then, some hours later, I became Canada's ONE MAN ONLINE SHOPPING PHENOMENON!!!!! Not only that, but to my great embarrassment, Canada now knows me as the goof with the stuffed duck. Also, it seems my expedit has 500 records--where the hell did that come from? If I knew they were going to film my records I would have brought out my Leo Sayer collection instead of some silly Bollywood jackets. At least they showed me browsing Lotusland records' website. T*m, if you get a rash of Canadians buying some modern soul heatery, you know why. The irony is that I buy very little online besides records (500 records, it seems).Am I able to capture a RAM stream? I want to have a record of my ten seconds of silliness. The stream, should be you interested, is at http://www.cbc.ca/clips/national/thenational.ram and will be up for until 11:30PM EST tomorrow. I'm at 16 minutes.

Yeah, I guess I spilled the beans. My avatar is Tom from the defunct Mars records in Montreal. Give me a couple of years and I'll look like him.
Ok, here's how it went down. I agreed to do the interview yesterday afternoon because I wanted to mention my label and website on national TV. I don't really buy much online beyond records, so when asked to see some purchases I had to scrounge. I had earlier mentioned the duck to the camera guy and he asked to see it. Immediately before showing it to him, I said something to the effect of "now i'm going to immortalize myself as the idiot guy with the duck". The didn't include that.
Still, how could I pass up an opportunity to talk taxidermy on the national news? I'm disappointed that they didn't show me pulling out records (Leo Sayer), talking about purchased music (Soulstrut EP), and describing my favourite record site (lotusland records). All my shameless plugging was ignored for the duck.
Shame that a lot of TV reports always serve to fulfil their own agendas, not caring about the light in which their interview subjects want to be seen. That's the biz, I guess.
Dude, you sound sooo serious in that interview. Hillarious!
