The Further Adventures of the Swing Formerly Known as Secret

I’ll be damned: MuchMusic just called me, asking for the location of the Secret Swing.

VJ Jennifer Hollett (whom I met during my 2002 and 2003 appearances on the live afternoon show
MuchOnDemand) placed the call; she thought it would be a great place to
conduct a band interview.

The Secret Swing is a perfect place for interviews — I can see rock,
indie, punk and hip-hop bands jumping at the chance to answer questions
and try out the swing. It’s also located quite conveniently: a
five-minute drive from the MuchMusic studios. I’m also sure that sooner
or later, someone’s
going to shoot a music video there (I see Hawksley Workman crooning and
swinging there).

I can draw two conclusions:

  • The Secret Swing ain’t so secret now.
  • My whuffie must be going up; a major video network called me for intel!

  • OK. While to most of you this is the Secret Swing, it actually is right beside my girlfriend Kingi Carpenter's store (Peach Berserk)
    Today when I was loading stuff into her store via the alleyway, there was a young couple necking there.
    If you devulge the secret location of the swing,
    this might never happen again.
    I implore you.
    Treat Paradise Lost with respect.
    Don't build a drive-in at Valhalla.
    Tell the public about the secret sandbox, the secret ghost slide or the so-called secret Bermuda Triangle,
    but for the love of Christ,
    leave the secret swing and the Hurlahee Boy alone!

  • Secret Swing Update.
    Not has a day has gone by without people making mention of "The Swing"
    Today the GLOBE AND MAIL contacted me about a story they wanted to do regarding my photoblog. I called them up and basically wanted information on the SWING.
