Lately I’ve been pretty much obsessed with the idea of camping. I used to camp more… but now I almost never do. I have no time, too many responsibilities, but those are things I have control to manage, so I’ll just make some time and push some work aside. Not only that, but I can [...]

Looking forward to some hockey tonight. Whenever the situation seems most dire, I like to turn to my man Coach Taylor for some inspiration. I try to imagine AV says something sorta poetic before the Canucks step onto the ice. But then if he did… would we be headed to game 7? Expectations Download MP3 [...]
Mixtape >> Game 6

Tonight, the Vancouver Canucks play one of the most pivotal games in their franchise history. Tonight is game 6 of their first round series against the Chicago Blackhawks. I have always believed that a winning hockey team is a combination of a lot of things. Strong offence, solid defence, coaching, depth, preparation… but let us [...]

My new By A Thread record showed up last week and it has brought me all kinds of excitement. By A Thread was a band I jammed out all the time as a kid. They put out one album that I know of…. then? Fast forward over 10 years, and here it is. The self [...]

Summer is coming. And to get ready, Coral and I went down to Capital Iron to buy a barbecue. She said it is pretty funny how guys always like to grill food. But with the weather turning as it is… its hard not to. We’ve had our little Weber Q 200 for two days, and [...]

I am about half way through the book “Our Band Could Be Your Life” by Michael Azerrad so I thought I’d put down a little mix of some of the bands featured. The first 7 bands featured on the set are all profiled in the book. The last 3, D.O.A., R.E.M., and Meat Puppets don’t [...]
it takes a lot of courage to radiate your… courage?

What was Huck saying the other day? ”It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your courage?” Something like that… maybe essence. Courage twice doesn’t even make sense. Huckdoll was lifting a line from the most excellent Baths‘ song “Maximalist.” I am sure I blogged a cut from this kid before… [...]
