Happy new year. everyone! Hope everyone is well. We rang in the new year with a new review of the album in TV Week magazine across Canada: Check it out:

HONEY AND THE MONEY
THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM

Richly melodic pop-rock by Vancouver-based duo Leila Harrison and Matt Clarke. Shimmering vocals and full-band arrangements distinguish the pair from soulless syntho/electro/sample-driven crud of the same genre. Think contemporized mid-‘70s Fleetwood Mac or, for that matter, Buckingham Nicks. Well-conceived and professionally produced.

(Maximum/EMI) FOUR STARS

Happy Holidays everybody! Be safe, have fun and we’ll see you in the new year. Lots of excitement planned for 2009. May the new year bring you success, happiness, and good health.

Peace on earth,
Leila & Matt

Also of Garageband.com noteworthiness, last week, “Still Beautiful” was selected for the “Best Drums in Pop” Award for the week. A tip of the hat to our drummer, Kristian, for that. Sadly, due to that award, his rate is now too expensive for us to be able to afford to work with him.

Well, it is Canada day. A happy one to everyone.
I am currently sitting around with an ice pack to my face, nursing my left cheek after some dental surgery yesterday. The necessary rest has given me some time to contemplate the $1000 the surgery cost me and the real value of our country’s free health [...]

Well, it’s a sad day. As I’m sure are all well aware, the King of Pop has passed onto the other side as of this afternoon. I am hesitant to contribute to the flood of opinions pouring out at the rick of seeming obvious and insincere. And I am well aware that this blog entry [...]
