Four songs that I am having a near religious experience enjoying today. 3 of which come from Esquire magazine? SWA? I know right… they listed my boys in Walk The Moon as the “song of the summer” on their list of 30 Summer Songs for Men. But I want to start my adventure closer to [...]

Yesterday I put my Canucks sweater on and made my way down to Soprano’s for the Canucks Fan Video shoot. Alex, Chika and Jefe organized a bunch of Canucks fans to come together and make a video to put on Youtube. It was good times standing on stage with other fans and cheers to their [...]

Today is Day 01 of Bike to Work Week… and uh, I drove. But here is what’s up… I went for a CRAZY bike ride yesterday. And I woke up today at 11AM. I haven’t slept in till 11AM since… 2007? Maybe when I was sick a couple months ago I slept that much. Its [...]

MUSIC! I have more than a couple jammers to share. All very bright, booty-shaking, catchy, poptastical cuts. Almost all these songs were recommended to me by quality folks and now I’m passing them on to you. Our musical journey begins East of the rockies in a little burgh that maybe you’ve heard of… Cincinnati. This [...]

Finished my first little hike with Madelyn today. It went pretty good, considering she is three-years-old and at no time during the journey was there a Treehouse break. Basically a hike can be summed up as thus: First 1/4 of the hike, “slow down.” Last 3/4 of the hike, “hurry the FUCK up.” We made [...]

Can you believe it? The Canucks aced the Sharks in the NHL Western Conference Final and will be heading to the Stanley Cup vs… ? Bruins? Lightning? To celebrate I jammed out a little Canucks audio montage to relive the magic. The song threaded throughout is Devotchka‘s “How It Ends.” “They All Depend on You” [...]

Back to the grind after an awesome weekend in Vancouver. Coral and I took Mads to Coquitlam to see my sister Andrea, Uncle Matt and Stuphie. Saturday night, we teamed up with Coral’s sister Alyx and hit the Commodore Ballroom to see Jimmy Eat World. The concert was my second chance to see JEW. The [...]

Last night was the Victoria Record Club Meeting 06 at Talk’s Cheap Record Store downtown on Pandora. As I am always on the search for new and fun 45s to add to my collection, I decided to buy three last night. I am loving all my selections today. Stream from Mixcloud: Spin 45s >> There [...]

The band getting the most attention from my ear during the radio program right now is the Welsh rockers The Joy Formidable. The single that we are jamming on the Zone is called “Whirring” and was praised by Dave Grohl in a tweet as the best song of 2011 so far. So far.. maybe that’s [...]

The people (well mostly Dave the Intern) over at The Land Conservancy of British Columbia got Madelyn and my ‘Be The Change’ video finished. Have a gander.
