Huzzah, my Jeep is all fixed. It was bad battery so it ended up costing a little over $200 when it was all said and done. I got lots of great advice and feedback on my Facebook from everyone the other day in regards to getting a new battery, so thank you if you took [...]

I still owe money to the money to the money I owe.

Back to work after a savage weekend of the sick. To think, if this was the 1900s… they would have have just left me for dead. They’d say, “Oh the war didn’t get him? He wasn’t carried away by werewolves? And he’s 31! Well he lived a life longer than any man has a right [...]

I love time and I love context. It can help you re-appreciate an old cut. In late 2009, Bear in Heaven released their critically acclaimed Beast, Rest, Forth, Mouth. I downloaded a couple key cuts as it sounds great during my lounge sets at The Veneto Lounge on the weekends. Lately, I have been gravitating [...]

Rise Against‘s 6th studio record, Endgame, debuted at #2 on the Billboard Chart. Guitarist Zach Blair also tried to tell me that it was number 1 in Canada and Germany! That’s something right. I like Canada, and Germany, you’re alright. Zach and I had a little chit-chat over the phone as the band is currently [...]

Last night was Victoria Record Club Meeting number 4. It was off to Talk’s Cheap on Pandora for another night of music, friendship and beers. The first, or second record I put up was the Foo Fighter’s 1996 single, “Big Me.” I recently bought the UK import (on white marble vinyl!) from Ditch on the [...]
Download: Foo Fighters – “Rope (Deadmau5 Remix)”

New Foo Fighter‘s record Wasting Light has the buzz that it will be the “best Foo Fighters record EVAR” swirling around it. We’ll get a chance to hear if the substance meets or surpasses the hype April 12th. The hot jam single is the most excellent “Rope.” And before we even get to hear a [...]
I’m in love, what’s that song?

Over the weekend I finally made my way to the new Ditch Records on Fort Street (between Douglas and Blanshard). After Mads and I hit the toy store to buy a new toy! (she bought a pair of little plush cats) I got to sift through the rows of records. Best part, Madelyn had new [...]

I am not reinventing the wheel of 70s rock & roll with this set… a selection of jammers from a 70s rock playlist I am working on. The set sounds so rocking mighty because I was able to peek behind the curtain of 100.3 The Q!’s playlist and find the songs that turn the cranks [...]
we’re not dangerous, we’re just four guys with long hair

Today I was thinking about Alice in Chains for some reason…. and it got me thinking back to the Alice in Chains Best of/VHS thing “Music Bank.” The first video is an old documentary that Seattle TV station, King 5, did about Alice in Chains when they were first coming up. Its such a spooky [...]
did I not pay for every laugh every time?

I sometimes think that I want to make something. A craft? I think I’d be into roasting coffee or even being a coffee farmer… but too many TV commercials tell me they don’t make any money. I’d go out of business pretty quick when some mega corp comes to my farm and wants to give [...]
