Tomorrow (Thursday, July 22nd) Billy Bishop Goes To War opens at the Belfry Theatre. Actor Ryan Beil stars as Billy Bishop who… goes off to war. First as a Calvary Officer but then later, as one of the greatest flying aces of the epic ordeal. Many of us know Ryan as “that guy from the [...]

I am trying to set some goals and grow as a DJ performer and sometimes it can be hard because… well being a DJ is a singular enterprise. I only really know what I do. Now I have been blessed to know some generous DJs who have helped and shared with me. Jess Taylor and [...]
a shade of coral
Posted in life or something like it, tagged Coral on July 20, 2010 | 8 Comments »
When I first met Coral, one of my favourite things about her is (was?) her name. Coral. I never knew a Coral before her. I did not know there was a colour shade called coral. If I was scuba diving I’d be afraid of coral. I never knew that corals coordinate behavior by communicating with [...]

I added a new record to my collection on Friday. The Replacements‘ Don’t Tell A Soul. I’ve been jamming this record heavy all weekend. I put it on at night when Coral and Mads are all tuckered out and snoozing. I plug my good DJ headphones into the amp and drop the needle. I really [...]

Vampire Weekend made an old model from the early 80s famous when they selected this odd picture as the cover of their record Contra. The person is Ann Kirsten Kennis and in 1983 she worked as a model in New York City. This is a picture of her rocking a Ralph Lauren polo. Cute. I [...]
Long Drives Through the Wilderness

Band of Horses latest record Infinite Arms didn’t get stellar reviews… but personally I really enjoy the record. Pitchfork was saying it is ideal for long drives through the wilderness and I can attest to that (if you consider parts of Southern Vancouver Island wilderness) as I rocked a BOH album in the earliest hours [...]

The Replacements – “I’ll Be You”
Posted in music, tagged Don't Tell a Soul, I'll Be You, The Replacements on July 14, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
I was thinking about fun older songs that might sound good on The Zone and I had to dust off one from The Replacements. The Replacements continue to be a band that captures my imagination. The song that might be a good primer to enter if you’ve never rocked the Replacements before would be their [...]
