frozen
I have a couple remixes of Queen‘s “Under Pressure,” a silly spin on the Frozen soundtrack jammer “Let It Go,” and I think we should talk Cloud Nothings.

Another perfect day in the Garden City…maybe not summer weather yet, but flirting with it at times.  The Mrs. and I headed off to Honda to look at a bigger ride.  Our growing horde is bursting out of the Civic. I like looking at new cars.

Rolling into the radio factory to a sea of emails. One song that captured my attention was from an LA producer/DJ called Touch Tone.  He posted a remix of the Queen/David Bowie joint “Under Pressure.”  I like to throw the original down during my DJ sets when I can, this remix will give me so many more opportunities to work it into a dance party!

Weirdly, not the only “Under Pressure” remix I received today.  Check out this punchier nu-disco take from Juno Ray.

Kid One and I were watching Frozen for the 37th time the other day.  During the big song from Elsa, “Let It Go,” I was feeling some James Hetfield from her performance….so we started thrashing around the living room…the next day at the radio factory I tried to put the James Hetfield “Let it Go” to tape.  Here you go.

Cloud Nothings
So this happened yesterday and I pray it ain’t no foolin’!  July 4th has one of my all time bands, Cloud Nothings, coming to Victoria for a Friday night show at Upstairs. Wow.

Also their new record came out yesterday, and believe the hype, it is outstanding.

Old Towns
One of my favourite folks to talk rock & roll with at the radio factory is Dan Ball.  Quality guy that is always talking about his latest vinyl purchase or rad band he recently discovered.

Dan spent some time living in Edmonton working at Filthy McNasty’s (I think?)…he’s the reason their steak sandwich is so good.  While spending some quality time in the City of Champions, Dan crashed in the basement of a band house.  The band attached to the house?  Old Towns.

The band is on tour and will be in Victoria for a show on April 19th.  An all-ager at the Oaklands Community Center with On Call Heroes.

Go with yourself.
