Last night John and I ventured over to Flux Bistro in Gastown for the Zero Ground album release party. Man, there’s nothing like hearing and experiencing live music. Chad Nantais composed the entire album on his computer some time ago and after some suggestions from colleagues, he decided to bring it out into the real […]

I’ve received a bunch of cool, free things because of blogging; from my cell phone(s) to movie passes, and this is definitely one thing I’m glad to add to the collection. As you may have noticed from my “iPod home repair guides” that my mini is pretty much on its last legs. Leave it to […]

It’s been almost a year since I wrote a blog post about an fire in the home of J Stuart from The Cloud Room – a Brooklyn-based band I had been listening to a lot in the fall. The band was working on their new tunes in J’s apartment, so all of their gear was […]

But I will be at Holly McNarland‘s show tonight at the Vancouver East Cultural Centre. Tickets are $19.95 and there are still a few available if you’d like to check out my fave Canadian female singer/songwriter.

No, not the beer, but Hillary. On Friday night my sister and I took my niece to see the teen sensation in concert at the Pacific Coliseum. All I can do is quote Yogurt: “Merchandising, merchandising!” Wowsa. They were selling these glow sticks that said ‘Hillary Duff’ on the side and I swear all 10,000 […]

Good day, and welcome to my first appearance on this Blogathon. I’ve been busy for a good portion of today with the newly christened day job, so my appearance here needs to be in true fashion. That means, a post about music, not to mention a nice YouTube video to go along with it. Sadly, […]

On Tuesday July 31st the highly anticipated Hospital Music by Matthew Good hits record store shelves. Of course my niece would turn to me right now and say “what’s the record” but I digress. Starting a press tour prior to the actual concert tour, Matt’s been pretty busy lately. Photo property of Orbitcast Every review […]

Matt wrote a post the other night about an appearance on 99.3 the Fox’s Rock Report today at 6:00pm [CFOX]. As the launch date of Hospital Music nears his schedule gets pretty full but he’s keeping fans and the reader community of his website pretty well updated. We will be streaming ‘Born Losers’ on the […]
