Paul Langlois, the guitarist for the Tragically Hip, has launched his own record label, Ching Music.
The company’s inaugural release is the Hugh Dillon Redemption Choir’s High Cost of Low Living, which will land in record stores on June 7. Langlois also handled producing duties on the album, recorded at the Hip’s Bathouse Studio near Kingston, Ont.
“Paul Langlois is like Dave Grohl — everybody loves him and he’s a genius when it comes to rock and roll,” Dillon told the Canadian Press, comparing his producer to the former Nirvana drummer-turned Foo Fighters leader who has been a booster for groups like Queens of the Stone Age.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
