---"SEX LIVES OF THE PARALYZED"--- is out now. It's a mostly acoustic balladry affair about ugly sentiments, sexual frustrations, depression, and horrible situations. Yet it's probably my most upbeat album yet, strangely enough. It was recorded the same way the last 6 or 7 albums were recorded (in my living room) and will be distributed mostly the same way (through my book bag to people on the street). Expect it in the store very soon...

'THE PERVERT" An epic recording bloated and indulgent to the extreme!. 17 tracks of total nonsense, 80 minutes of music about murderers, orphans, fugitives, prisoners, lunatics, arsonists, politicians, and perverts. It's more me then you can handle, and I'm willing to bet that's true. The Scope says about The Pervert "He works with a broad palette of instruments and swoops easily from traditional-sounding tunes to high-experimentation. With The Pervert, Canning has poured himself into a clear glass—the outcome may not go down easy, but it definitely gives you a healthy serving of food for thought."

Patrick's first album "Patrick" is still available also. buy this online album right now at Fred's Records, or at CD plus in the Avalon Mall, or at bugaloo's on duckworth street.

I live in St John's I make music and other things. I work so hard my body is falling apart. I have a new band I'm working with. I various levels of expertise in all manners of study. Things could be going better right now but the end ain't coming anytime soon.
Hey Patrick, I just wanted to thank you for Adding me into your circle of friends. I Really do appreciate the Consideration! I hope you have an Awesome Week My New Friend! You be safe and don't get into too much Bad Trouble! :) Now Good Trouble on the other Hand.......:o) Mike
Geez, that's the first time I've really been happy to be in another province! Thank you sir! Regarding the recordings - Spencer is missing in action, and has not done any mixing yet to my knowledge. I'll pester him some more, but beyond that it's kind of out of my hands. You can direct any Indian Burns and Purple Nurples to him in the immediate future. Talk to you soon! Pat
Wow.."Black Mud" live with Allison is a force to be reckoned with....is she still around town?...if so you guys should do some more shows together....it sounds great... cheers, damian
But on the current job market no one is buying enough salted pretzels, if we can all buy 2 salted pretzels a week from Associated Pretzel Stands (APS) then we can help support dying sprigwildcranbat PLANTS! no one wants those to die!
Hi Patrick. We Just wanted to let you know that we're playing in New York on March 28th (on Saturday) at Mercury Lounge
Hope to see you... Much love from all of us.
