NIN – 20 Ghosts III

// April 11th, 2008 // Comments Off // News, music

With the release of the new NIN CD(s) comes the Nine Inch Nails Ghosts Film Festival. You can read/hear about the announcement here. I’m sure I was one of the first million to buy the new CD online, (only $5!), and it’s quite a collection. So when I heard about the open call for videos, well, I just jumped on that!
Together with Nina McEvoy and Raquel Nevado we set out to make something powerful, something that could breath life into the music. Also, keep it simple was also the goal. So with Nina and Raquel laying naked on my lighting table with pieces of machinery between them, well, what could be more effective!
In order to keep the video as with the realm of copyrights as possible, the original footage is helped along with various film clips from 1897 – 1902.
Full video can be viewed HERE. And feel free to comment or rate it.

Best of Ottawa Readers Poll 2007

// October 26th, 2007 // View Comments // News, music

The Ottawa Xpress has finally acknowledged the existence of a much ignored musician here in Canada’s capital, by including Lindsay Ferguson in their “Best of 2007 Ottawa” Survey!!
There are a couple of Categories that I think Lindsay’s new Album ‘Sound‘ should have been included in & they are as follows: Best Rock/Pop/Dance/Other Album & Best New Musical Artist or Group. I know she’s not “new” but she sort of is, now that Lindsay has her new album ‘Sound‘ out people are starting to create a buzz!!
Also there is a “Best Live Show in 2007″ category & seeing as Lindsay had a record-breaking attendance for her Cd Release Party, I thought it too could be classified as a “Best of”…
The one that Lindsay is up for is “Best Folk/Country Album” so be sure to check her name on that one.
Another close friend of mine, Rob Mclennan is also up for a ‘Best of…” for his writing in the fiction/non-fiction/poetry work.
All of the categories have an “other” box, where I suggest you fill in whenever necessary.
SO! lets get Lindsay Ferguson on the map in the “BEST OF 2007″ for the Ottawa Xpress!
And yes, many thanks in advance for taking the time to fill the survey out.
Please continue…

Lindsay’s new Album “Sound” is available on iTunes.
Rob’s writings can found on Chaudere Books.

Missing CDs, Found!

// October 16th, 2007 // View Comments // News

Lindsay Ferguson’s missing CDs have been found! This is what Lindsay had to say about the ordeal.
“…well they, and my 92 van were found!!! the cd’s weren’t stolen but my stereo was!! not to mention all the damage that the thieves did to the van…. it’s in the garage as we speak. There were MANY people who came to my aid with this issue… I am so grateful to have such a great support network, even people I’ve never met before… thanks Lynn Saxberg for writing a column about it in The Ottawa Citizen, & thanks to Colin Mills at Healey Disc for offering to replace the stolen Cd’s. Big Love goes out to you all.”
