Lonely Vagabond	Sep 27 2008 8:37 AM A swashbuckling cavalier, a gentle poetic heart, accompanied by a musical collage that soars of romanticism.
The State Bird of Idaho	Sep 24 2008 3:33 PM It's a bit like a scavenger hunt, no? You'll just have to come to visit and maybe all our secrets will be revealed.
League of Nations	Sep 21 2008 11:28 PM Hey Ross -- thanks for checking out our page, and the kind words. Hoping to make it to you show Friday (or soon). Cheers -- Derek.

The Secret History	Aug 1 2008 7:29 PM I love this, and not just because we're label mates...and not just becuase I'm ill. Well, perhaps the later. -Mick Grace
Lonely Vagabond	Jul 31 2008 6:49 AM Great review of the CD in this issue of Exclaim Magazine 'You won't find a better album to bring alive your indie salon evenings this summer. Very witty, Wilde'
pete has plans	Jul 29 2008 10:18 PM Marvellous, Jonny pointed me in this direction. Idle Tigers are the best Tigers!
carrie	Jul 19 2008 5:05 PM 'view in eye? nice work, indeed. how is t.o. treating you, sir?
swingingfrenchybambi	Jul 18 2008 1:18 PM i think i was there in the profile pix ;DDD how are u???
Lonely Vagabond	Jul 12 2008 7:22 AM The Headmasters Ritual according to Ross Hawkins. That was a great set at The Drake. The swashbuckling romantic morphs into schoolboy channeling musical theatricality, through voice, and a lo-fi synth. A touch of Carry On films, intellectual musings of vintage poetry, and the timeless heartfelt warmth of the singer songwriter. Frankly Mr Shankly--you cannot deny us of impassioned songcraft.
Lonely Vagabond	Jul 10 2008 6:57 AM Great CD review in this issue of Eye Magazine 'While Hawkins is a writer of some real wit, his songs are often overwhelmed by the unceasing archness of his delivery and the mannered theatricality of the whole project'
Burn Planetarium	Jul 7 2008 5:34 PM I like those odds
Burn Planetarium	Jul 7 2008 3:29 PM well our manager says yes... but thedrakehotel. ca would suggest otherwise (at least so far). So I'm not sure; but it does seem likely. If I had to come up with a percentage, I would say 90%.
