Ben Deschamps

Twenty very odd years in the independent music biz, touring, booking, recording & producing with Heather Dale and many others. He/him.

@ek_johnston HI!!!!
He also used to dress up as The Greatest American Hero and come to school like that. Not on Halloween. Just on days where he felt the siren song of spandex, I guess.

@ek_johnston My high school physics teacher claimed to have been a standin for Luke on Hoth, as he was on a geological survey mission in... Norway?... at the time.

@Herne @heather_dale I have the correct number of chairs already! One! That's enough for me, a book, and a puppy :)

New live video! With bonus new player AND big announcement! https://t.co/YEwrmptGOH

@miriamjoywrites I was going to say "try to sell more than you buy"... but if you get the chance (depending on where you are of course!) - just explain why the books are amazing, like you already do, and you'll be the best in the biz :)

@TheCorrection Sadly I don't have the ability to send in smell-o-vision. Or slime-o-rama.

[Ben Deschamps @oh_and_Ben]

@TheCorrection It was amazing 2 nights ago! Now it's mostly gone leaving puddles of liquified dog poop and mud. Charming. But I can send pics if you'd like too ;)

They didn't want to arrest anybody, they were hoping you could help :)

@reesah @SouthwestAir CC every airline I've ever flown.

@MyLifeAsLoz Oh christ next you'll tell me you're going to do it without whiskey and I'll have to advise the armed forces.

[Ben Deschamps @oh_and_Ben]

@MyLifeAsLoz I quickly discovered that while no caffeine might be healthy for me, it's not healthy for anyone *around* me...

[Ben Deschamps @oh_and_Ben]

@Herne @heather_dale See also Altus (Canadian) and Stellardrone (occasional talky bits though). There is also some good stuff on https://t.co/wydGhEMPxm.

[Ben Deschamps @oh_and_Ben]

@Herne @heather_dale I have very simple criteria for the electronica that I listen to. Reasonably pleasant, not too discordant, and NO MATTER HOW CLEVER YOU THINK IT IS TO HAVE SPOKEN WORD QUOTES, IT'S NOT. NOT CARL SAGAN. NOT STEPHEN HAWKING. NOT EVEN ME.

@HNTurtledove It's one of the lesser known delicacies. Fortunately, thanks to the pickling process, it's no longer seasonal! I just hope they apply the pepper paste after the harvesting process.

[Ben Deschamps @oh_and_Ben]

@HNTurtledove Is that so wrong? Okay, so it looks like pickled bat scrotum and smells like rancid garbage, but it is the tastiest thing in the universe.

[Ben Deschamps @oh_and_Ben]

@MyLifeAsLoz Some means of telling them apart would be a start ;)

[Ben Deschamps @oh_and_Ben]

@MyLifeAsLoz You and me both, and I grew up with it. I have to either consciously turn off part of my brain... or have a couple of drinks. After which I am loquacity itself... my accent is still only comprehensible to lumberjacks and family, which forms a very tight Venn diagram ;)
