CLICK HERE TO, UM, CLICK HERE
Hey, cool! Linda Draper, a local singer-songwriter type, has got her own site! (Or at least a place where her site will go when she gets there.)
This got me to thinking. Every single person in this scene who has been playing for even a few months at open mics has their own web presence (that list of music links on the side there are almost all New York people, as opposed to Torontonians.) Why haven't Toronto songwriters embraced the web?
Sure, there's Kevin Quain's excellent site, and Jeremy Robinson's (although at first look the background image text looked like it said Ron Jeremy, tee hee), but ... Max Metrault's is not being updated anymore, and Nik Beeson's focuses more on his 8 billion other (equally cool) projects than on his songs, and, well, that's it. No Sandra Flores, no Jeff Oussoren or Shawn Santalucia or Walk Left Stand Right or Timothy John Robert or whoever.
I feel a little out of touch with these people, and quite frankly I kind of miss them a little bit, and would love to just check in and find out what-all's happening.
So I guess that means my complaint is selfish. So?
