Also, the Tranzac show on Thursday was super great. A huge thanks to all those who went, danced, and stayed around to chat afterwards.

The new A.M. remix of NY-based folk artist Brandon Patton's song "Counting the Paces" is available for download on the music page. Enjoy.

For more on Brandon Patton, go this way: www.brandonpatton.com.

A.M. plays live with singer/songwriter Andrea Wappel, organist Marty Smyth, and others at the Tranzac on Thursday, August 14th.

Along with several favourite A.M. tunes, expect to hear highly danceable covers of songs by AC/DC, Michael Jackson, and, yes, Phil Collins.

Go back to the home page for details and a somewhat disturbing poster.

A.M. appears on CBC Radio3's latest podcast, called "School of Rock", in which they discussed people's memories of music class at school. They interviewed several teachers who do music on the side, including A.M.

More or Les is a Montreal/Toronto-based rapper who might be the most underrated guy in Canadian hip-hop. Honestly, I can't praise this guy enough...his lyrics flow beautifully, and unlike a lot of mainstream rappers, he's got something to say.

Go to the "Music" page to download the new A.M. remix of his song "Shooting People and Disrespecting Women", and have a look at his website here:

"Today Is..." has climbed the CIUT Chart to #5 for the week of April 29th, after entering at #17 last week. Industry insiders claim it's just a matter of time before it climbs so high, they have to invent a chart spot higher than #1...

The only thing cooler than throwing your hands in the air and waving them like you just don't care is doing so while wearing some A.M.-related clothing.

Oh, and the album. It's coming. I swear.

In album news, 6 new tracks are at various stages of completion...but it may be several more months until a new album is done, because I'm planning to do a total upgrade to both software and hardware this summer. Anything more complicated than Microsoft Word takes me a while to master, so be patient.

Enjoy the summer. Put down the Facebook and go ride your bike.

What do you get when you combine a TV series about particle physics with electronic music by A.M.? That's right. You get beaten up for being such a nerd.

I spent much of the spring working on music for a UK company's mini-series about the history of particle physics. For legal reasons, I can't let you download them, but head on over to the music page to have a listen. (Under "soundtracks".)

Also, to see a previous movie by the same company and on a similar topic, go here:

Don't be shy. It's okay to be a nerd.
