There is no I in America

About Me

Hi there. I am Jason Gleed, a musician from Toronto. First and foremost I am a singer and songwriter. My homepage is http://www.jasongleed.com I have been playing music since I was born, and started writing songs about 10 years ago. Unfortunately that alone hasn't paid all the bills yet. For work, I write music for tv commercials, tv theme songs, and films. I've been doing that for about 6 years. I just took a job in New York with a company called JSM, and if the US gives me a Visa, I should be down there in a month or so. I usually sing on the commercials I write. Some of the more popular Canadian commercials I've done recently have been Ikea "Rug" (car drives down the street smashing people with a rug), and All Bran "Muse" (a scientist is inspired by a girl with giant strawberry like hair). I've also written the theme song for the cartoons "My Dad the Rockstar", "Spider Riders", and co-wrote "Braceface". I'm also working on my first rock/pop album which may never get done. I also play in the bands Hatjak with DJ Hatiras http://www.hatjak.com and Dinky http://www.myspace.com/dinkyrocksWhen I'm not playing music, which is EXTREMELY rare, I like to visit my new niece, exercise in my underpants (not with my new niece you sick freaks), watch The Daily Show, masturbate, eat chocolate, feel guilty, diet, eat chocolate, masturbate again, snowboard, hang out in the mountains when I can, read medical encyclopedias, freak out cuz I think I'm sick, I really like salami, manipulate women, realise I am not as smart as I think I am, realize I am a shitty speller, eat curry, get bloated and acid reflux, watch Showcase on Fridays (especially the Seymore Butts show), travel/tour when possible, watch documentaries, watch war movies, play video games all night, sleep in, go to bed really late (it's 4:15am right now), tell horribly disgusting jokes, make people uncomfortable with talk of sex and death, spend too much time on this mind-destroying website, and I like to go to the doctor. My proctologist's name is Dr. Jal E. Finger. It's hard to find a butt physician who is thorough, yet gentle.That's about it I suppose. I am many things to many people in many ways...
adopt your own virtual pet!
UH OH...
You Are 72% Evil
You are very evil. And you're too evil to care.
Those who love you probably also fear you. A lot. How Evil Are You?

I'd like to meet:

Music:

Phoenix rules! Haven't been this excited about a band since Arcade Fire. Don't hate them cuz they're from France. Lots of good things are from France. Like bicycles, motor oil, cheese steaks, pigeons, and those annoying pieces of lint in your bellybutton.Hmmm...right now I can't get enough of The Arcade Fire. I've been listening to a ton of Canadian music- just discovered a very cool project called Neverending White Lights by a writer named Daniel Victor. For some reason I like Fall Out Boy these days as well. Can't explain it, I'm just a sucker for a good voice and good pop songs. Queens of the Stone Age, Tool, Radiohead, Jeff Buckley, Metric, The Dandy Warhols, Tegan and Sara (So Jealous rules), The Killers, Depeche Mode, anything from Blowmedia, Prodigy, The Postal Service, me ;) , Iron Maiden, A Perfect Circle, Kanye West, Jay Z, Joe Budden (well, that one song), The Streets, Raffi, The Doodle Bops, I can't think anymore...Wait, yes I can. Flyleaf rules! Check them out, you fucking bastards.

Oh so sad. Myspace is deads. It's still kinda breathing, but barely. As soon as Fox took over the site it became TheirSpace- a space for annoying banner ads with obnoxious sound effects perfectly t...

Tarantino's CSI

I have a dream. I have a dream of an island where all formerly decent film directors are banished to once they lose their mojo. Certain directors who get so out of touch with humanity- the result of...

I guess I should balance my angry anti-capital punishment rant with some good news. Annelise Noronha is nearly finished mixing my songs! She's doing a wicked job. Such a good job, that I'm excited ...

Hello fuckers.  New York rules.  Although I'm getting fat cuz there's way too much to eat, and it's all good.   I judge how fat I am by how puffy my face feels.  If I can suck...
