Its been a few days since I’ve been back from Vancouver. I had a 24 hour adventure in the Terminal City to check out one of my all-time favourite bands, Interpol. The show was pretty magical because I love their music… but especially the first two records (like everyone, I guess). The set was heavy [...]

I was up late reading about the ancient Christian philosopher St. Augustine. Augustine of Hippo grew up in North Africa where Algeria is now and lived during the actual last days of the Western Roman Empire. Like many people of the Dark Ages (or Early Middle Ages), he believed that they were in fact living [...]

Years ago now… maybe 2004 or 2005 or 2006? Wow, James Sutton (the Zone’s music director) came across a song from a Vancouver band called Northern Alliance or NA. The song was called “Take Me Higher” and we played it a bit on the radio here and like tons of feature songs before and after, [...]

My friend Jess wrote such a nice article on her blog the other day. Talking about the monotony of it all. Life. Kids, work, kids, work, repeat. She talked about how when she was young, her life maybe wasn’t so much different, or better… but uncertain. The uncertainty is what made it all bearable I [...]

01) Nelly – “Just a Dream” Hey, be easy… I like this song. Now, I’ll always love you Beat 94-5, you have superior DJs and generally a better broadcast experience compared to most radio stations. That said, Sirius Hits 1 plays this song pretty much twice an hour. No sane radio station should be burning [...]

We were talking bourbon and he told me about his favourite, Buffalo Trace Bourbon. The distillery where Buffalo Trace is made in Kentucky is one of the oldest in America [...]

A girl called up the Zone today during the Picks @ 6 to request the January Band of the Month, On Call Heroes. The song “That Guy” (mp3) is a neat song. Its about d-bags that end up with the hot girl. A story all us nice guys who finish last can relate too. And [...]
