“… 2018 ended with a major and exciting change in my life: I BOUGHT A NEW CD player! I know, I know, right at a time when CDs are on the way out, and here I invested in the best one I could find––even as I also invest in putting another one out. Well, I'll have a top-of-the-line system to listen to it with: It's a BOSE, with a sweet-spot EQ, and it only cost me $8,500.00 (taxes included)! Riigght??


“I know! That's a bargoon!

“The seller, straightening his striped tie, assured me it was the most sophisticated CD player available today, and he showed me something crazy (you're not gonna believe this!): it's also got a 2012 Nissan Altima built right in!

“I was like, "Whaaaat, you mean I can get into my CD player?" "That's exactly right, son," said the man through the stub of his cheap cigar, "through any of its four doors––and son," he assured me as he slapped his arm around me, "not only can you climb inside your CD player, but it'll take you annnny place you point it, near and far and far and wide!" He gestured grandly with his cigar-end at all the adventures waiting yonder. "And tell you what... something I'm gonna throw in, absolutely for free––because you seem like a genuiine, discerning appreciator of the compact disc... if you aim this one at something, in the dark... it will also act as a giant. portable flashlight. My friend, you have not seen its like. Bene, cosa aspetti? Go on, vai avanti! 

“Try it out, put in a CD! See how it feels..."

Veteran Toronto musician, author and photographer Don Pyle (Shadowy Men From A Shadowy Planet, PhonoComb) has just published a new memoir, Rough Description: Love Letters and Ghost Stories From a Life in Music. The book covers his hilarious tour stories, his experiences growing up in punk, his experiences attending hair school, working with the Kids in the Hall and more from his influential life in music and culture.

He launches the book via a reading tour that starts at Standard Time in Toronto on May 28 (with Yo La Tengo's Georgia Hubley & Ira Kaplan spinning records) with stops in Guelph, Hamilton, Picton, Kitchener and London. The latter event also features Faith No More's Roddy Bottum reading from his memoir The Royal We. More info here.
