Pol was talking on his show about the home stereo the other day. Great discussion about how he still has a home stereo and he called it a “shrine” to music. Neat. I love my home stereo… and its still a goal to improve it dramatically. I want/NEED a Rega turntable because I love them. [...]

It is funny how songs can get rooted in your head. I have a couple currently battling to be played on repeat. Dinosaur Bones, a couple AWOLNATION songs, Blitzen Trapper‘s new record… and this slinky pop song I heard on XM’s Alt. Nation last night. Adelaide, SA is Australia’s 5th largest city and ranks high [...]

Jon Lake was one of the Rifflandia Official photographers. He captured these three beauties on Sunday afternoon during Daniel Wesley‘s set.

I can’t believe Rifflandia IV is all done. I woke up this morning with PRD (post Rifflandia disorder). What a spectacular four days in our sleepy colonial outpost city. I believe that after this year… and looking forward to Rifflandia V, this festival is poised to be Canada’s premier new music/alternative/hipster fest. I can’t really [...]
Rifflandia: Where am I gonna Be At?

It begins! Rifflandia starts today. Boitano and Me will be at Phillips stage on Friday at 9PM after DJ Anger. And check this… capacity is 800… so says the Times Colonist. Now it would be rad is 800 were in there losing their minds… but I’d settle for half that. We’ve put together a very [...]

Finished the most mighty of weekends… a couple fundraisers and a couple weddings made for a busy 4 days. Somewhere in that mix I had to try and be a dad and do you know… my actual job on the Zone. Focus was required, but hard to come by as I have my eyes firmly [...]
Its war where nobody dies. What’s not to love about sports?

God bless Radiolab… blowing my mind about Games… and sports. They have this mucky-muck on the show talking about 3 year olds… and how they are pure improv. Just making shit up and being in a constant state of invention. Being the parent of a 3 year old, I love it. I laugh dozens of [...]

I read a great article in National Geographic the other night on my couch (hmmm fitting I guess)… It was a story about workout music and the studies of sport psychologist Costas Karageorghis. Basically he says first, what we all know… music during a workout is good. Especially those 120-140 BPM songs (beats-per-minute). A song [...]
all that time that we wasted, if I could have it back, I’d love to waste it again

I go through little phases where I love and then love less… the Arcade Fire‘s The Suburbs record. Right now, it is back to friends on. Friends way on. Sometimes it just takes a lyric to get me to get interested in a song and I heard it listening to the Arcade Fire’s title track [...]
is that anyway to tell me you’ll be a terrible friend

Boss Man John brought this record to our music meeting yesterday and after a day to let ferment, I think I like. Rock & roll duo The Generationals put out a record back in April called Actor-Caster. It garnered some favourable reviews and a little press in the right places. Their style definitely borrows from [...]
