Halifax rocker Joel Plaskett is no elf, but he's been busy making things lately.

Plaskett told CBC Radio 3 on Wednesday that he has a triple album in the works. His sixth full-length album, appropriately titled Three, will likely be out sometime in February. Each disc will have nine songs, for a total of 27. None of the CDs are more than 35 minutes.

Plaskett said the number three is significant in many ways on the album, including the number of tracks it includes and songs that use the same word three times.

"It sort of works into this numerology freakishness that I've… It's got a bit of a obsessive compulsive vibe to it," he told Radio 3 host Grant Lawrence.

Plaskett plans to tour behind the album in April or May, but no dates have been announced yet. He has a single show scheduled in Vancouver on Feb. 12 with Sarah McLachlan as part of the 2010 (adds up to three) Cultural Olympiad.

Plaskett has also been in the studio producing Prince Edward Island pop band Two Hours Traffic's new album.

He was also nominated for two East Coast Music Awards on Thursday.

He needs to be on that bike to be as tall as Dave and Joel.

Definitely a humanistic Cylon. He sings about religion.

So we can use it to judge the writers? The tip off would be "sociopathic behavior" for most of them...

Solved! Check this:

So if Joel looks like Ian Curtis and Ian Curtis is dead, then one of the dudes in Interpol must be the third cylon.

OMG WE ARE SO FRACKED. THEY HAVE A PLAN, GUYS. AND I AM SO NOT PART OF IT BECAUSE I DON'T LOVE INTERPOL WHICH MEANS I CAN'T SUCCESSFULLY BREED WITH THEM WHICH MEANS THEY'RE JUST GOING TO KILL ME.

Wait, didn't the Visitors eat rodents? They could really help with the rat and mouse problems in this city. I, for one, welcome our new alien overlords.

You guys are all missing the big picture. Cylons + Visitors... and they're all connected through Interpol. So by extension DO NOT trust anyone with a white belt.

If the voice of this generation is in on this conspiracy, then the shit must be going down soon.

Your love child would be half human, half robot and half lizard... and that'd be no good for anyone.

I'd be more worried if Stephen Colbert started wearing a white belt.
