Not blogging everyday (or twice) really is a kick to the junk of the old hit counter. Viewership is down. Being famous on the internet is hard work. Maybe I should just dance awkwardly for 5 seconds in a terrible music video? Not blogging, doesn’t mean I haven’t been busy. Far from it, that’s why [...]

Dear blog, Whoa… its been a few days and that’s my bad. Summertime and the living has been, well, maybe not easy. Busy? I got more than one email and bunch of calls on the Zone looking to hear Maurice‘s acoustic take on “Robin.” JP Maurice had just got off the boat from Vancouver where [...]

Huzzah! Ditch Records has copies of Foster the People on vinyl LP (I forgot to ask if the CDs came in too). I raced down during a little lull in my crazy hectic day to snap up a copy for Coral before they went sold out again. (also got me out of the studio/office for [...]

So…. how about that Canucks game the other night? Right, so it didn’t end the way Disney told me it would… and then the riots downtown. But here I am, the day after hockey, and I feel pretty good. Canucks had an amazing year, game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final… and come October, we [...]

I often talk about my days in college radio at CiTR as the host of The Morning After Show. Oh the times… circa 1998-2003, playing Canadian punk, metal and indie rock. When I started there… I was young and dumb. But it was really fun learning new bands and hanging out with Vancouver’s most groovy [...]
It’s the price to pay for the summertime

I was talking in a blog post earlier this month about the Sasquatch Festival being a very positive influence on my young lovely and her re-energized appreciation of alternative music. She came home with a few new favourite bands and artists. It being payday today, I headed down to Ditch Records before work coming to [...]

This weekend is Vic Fest. Going down Saturday on the grounds of St. Ann’s Academy will be a day of Island brew, wine, food, bands and DJs. To help celebrate and get people fired up… I am having performers form the festival on my show to perform live. Monday featured Acres of Lions. Today it [...]

Got back from camping in Fort Langley with Grandma and Grandpa this past Sunday. We stayed on Brae Island which is a beautiful green little hunk of land in the Fraser River. My folk’s have an RV so… OK, not really camping. And yes dinner was steak, lobster and chicken with potato, Greek and Caeser [...]
Bring It Home

Win or lose, we sure have had a fun and exciting Stanley Cup playoff run in British Columbia. The boys have the historic opportunity tonight to win the Canucks’ first ever championship in franchise history. Its kind of a surreal feeling as I’ve cheered on the team for so many years and here we are. [...]
