Oh no, the poor Cruze this morning. I blogged about this yesterday but I love it. The car wishes you safe journeys. whoa… journeys is spelled with an “eys” and not “ies.” huh. I’ll tell ya, I could not have picked a better week to have a tester car. I planned on driving it to [...]

Yesterday I blogged about one of my old-time/all-time favourite bands from Vancouver, By A Thread. It got me thinking about the time I used to write for a music blog back in the day before the word “blog” was invented. It was a site called Indulged.com and was started by Andy out of Cape Cod, [...]

Its funny… growing up, I was never much of a car guy. My folks always had a car I could borrow. I bought an old 1969 Triumph Spitfire in highschool. It was dilapidated by the end of grade 12. In college I bought a Dodge Colt for about $400 from my brother (who had bought [...]

This morning I awoke to a perfect and cold winter day (and still a scratchy throat). Coral was running a bit behind and I still have the Chevy Cruze, so she asked me to take Mads to Step-Up to Pre-School. Driving back to The Zone, I was jamming out Pol Plastino and he punched up [...]
Cruze to Vancouver

I woke up today much like any other; with a sore throat. It just won’t go away. BUT unlike any other day, I also woke to a winter wonderland! Which normally I love, but it did give me a moment of heart palpitations as I am currently driving a borrowed car. Yeesh… a borrowed car? [...]

Victoria performer, Liv Wade sent me a nice message the other day in regards to some of the new music she is working on. Jeremy, I hear you’ve got some good listening ears, especially music. I’ve just been in studio in Vancouver working on my first studio songs. The first one is done and I’d [...]

God, to pick one album? What do you say if someone asks you, “what is you favourite Beatles’ album?” Tough question. I tend to fall into those middle records… ”Rubber Soul” and “Revolver.” Admittedly, I am late the Beatles game. I am familiar with almost all their music and growing up, I tended to have [...]

I am always on the search for different textures and sounds to add to my DJs sets at the Veneto Lounge. The “theme(s)” of the Veneto Lounge are Italian (Veneto is a region of Italy) and classic cocktails. The bartenders try and revive and explore recipes from the late 1800s and early 1900s. Great for [...]

It may or may not be a surprise to some of you, that I do enjoy me some AM radio. I started my journey into the realm of commercial radio pushing buttons for a radio show called Coast-to-Coast AM on CFUN. When I started there, I hated the show. It was so stupid. But after [...]
