About Me

Carly's OK began making music thanks to Pee Wee Herman who encouraged her to collect pots and pans during the commercial break and bang on them. Things snowballed from there. Next up she and her sister took to recording themselves singing and saying all sorts of witty things into a Fisher Price tape recorder. At 13, she started playing guitar. Later she discovered 4 track tape machines. She rented a digital recorder for a university project, which pointed her life in a new direction. It was the second most useful thing she learned at university (first was anything from her music and technology course). One year she used her tax return to buy some used turntables and now has an addiction to vinyl. She volunteered as a programmer at CKMS FM, helps organize Ladyfest Toronto and has a diploma in Audio Producing/Engineering from the Harris Institute. In a previous incarnation, she was a writer.Carly's OK enjoys dogs, dim sum, the Smashing Pumpkins and NKOTB reunions and riding her bike.

Another unfinished song

I added a new song, which is also unfinished. There's supposed to be some kind of lovely lead guitar fill that I instructed Adrian to make "pretty and floaty." I could have done it myself, I guess, bu...

New [unfinished] song

I added a new song. It's clearly not finished, but the way I am, if I waited for things to be finished, nothing would ever go up. I never see songs as completely, definitively done. I think that's par...
