Click to Listen: MIX: Vanilla, Lavender, Comfort A collection of songs I discovered either as free downloads from http://pitchfork.com or trolling iTunes. This mix takes on the same shape as my previous couple, starts out nice and calm before building to a more aggressive tempo, climaxing with some indie rock and then quickly calming down again [...]

A group of Victoria musicians team up to perform as the Cadboro Collective for http://nakedjams.com.

The show ends with some bands that might be in the running for a future as Zone Band of [...]

Man, I really wrecked my button pushing finger by getting all techno wizard sample heavy during my set tonight. If you ever wondered how a DJ could possibly injure himself on the job, now you know. I looked like a 14 year old playing Guitar Hero on extra hard, tap tap tap on my hot [...]

Coral and I went for a nice hike on Saturday before the rains came. We headed up to Mount Doug park. It was the first time in a long time that I went for anything that resembled a “proper” hike. We had to trek over mud, across puddles, under felled trees and scramble up rocks. [...]
