From the Alt-Country Synchronicity Department: — Last night: We go into Toronto to see Hem perform at the Horseshoe Tavern on Queen West. (Standing ten feet from the ten of them as they steamroll over us with a melodious hour-forty of old-timey melancholia.) — Tonight: We pick up Neko Case’s Fox Confessor Brings the Flood and notice in the liner notes: all songs recorded at Wavelab in Tucson AZ … except for the intro to “John Saw That Number” which was recorded by Steve Chahley in the back stairwell of the Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto, Canada. — Awesome.

I’m Scott David Herman, I’m an American living in Canada, and I’ve been running erasing.org since 1999.

The expatriate life is very glamorous. I live and work on the fifth floor of a mid-rise glass-and-concrete ant farm situated in the abandoned ruins of downtown Hamilton, that legendary city many call the most beautiful smoke-spewing slag heap in all of Southern Ontario.

I enjoy staring into open books, mentally rotating Shakespeare’s skeleton, stacking objects in my quote-unquote office, and chopping at the Parnassian permafrost in the company of my wife Laura.

You can email me at scott at erasing.org.
