My old highschool band Basement Suite used to rehearse in my buddy Simon’s basement (hence the name… brilliant). His parents asked me to come grab some crap that’s been down there for 20+ years.
Included in the remnants were boxes of my very first EP All At Once (2003) and the original pressing of my first album Postcards & Daydreaming (2005) - there are probably only a few hundred copies of each out there in the world. I cannot guarantee that the music is very good but these are extremely rare items so that’s fun.
This initial printing of Postcards included a song called West 8th which was replaced by Ash Babe when I updated the artwork and re-released it in 2007 via a small Vancouver-based label called FU:M.
It occurred to me that my basement is full of old bits of memorabilia and I should probably give most of it away…
So I’ve decided that, as a thank you to the generous patrons out there, every month I’m going to randomly select a paid subscriber from this newsletter and mail them a package of rare goodies from my basement.
If you’re already a paid subscriber, you’re already in the mix and I’ll reach out for your mailing address should your name be drawn.
If you’re not yet, and you’d like to join in the fun, feel free to upgrade your subscription to “paid”. No presh, obvs :)
If you’re curious about a paid subcription, there are some other perks like…
Access to a huge archive of live show recordings dating back to 2006
Access to the 2021 concert doc All Together Now
Access to rough demos of new songs I’m writing
Random pop-up Zoom hangs
I try not to focus too much on pushing folks toward paying for this newsletter, so please excuse this rare sales pitch. All in all, I’m just extremely grateful to all and any subscribers leaving space in their brains for my newsletter. Free or paid - thanks a mil. It truly makes a difference to me.
Big love,
Dan
Wooo!! I like the opportunity to get cool things to by being somewhere I was gonna be anyway!
I anxiously look forward to my name being randomly drawn !
