Yelawolf‘s new record won’t be out till 2015…but his song “Till It’s Gone” showed up a couple weeks ago on Sons of Anarchy. Listening to the lyrics…it sure sounds like a song written to show up during a montage on SOA.

And I share my latest episode of Fact Checking The Morning Zone.
I appreciate you taking the time to check out my blog or hitting the songs on Hype Machine.

Wild Cub principle Keegan DeWitt took a pause in the rock & roll tour schedule to call into The Zone. Here are a couple clips from that chit-chat.
Keegan shares the origin story for their much mega hit, “Thunder Clatter.” Keegan says the idea for the song happened the week he met the woman who would eventually become his wife!
Then I asked Keegan about the song “Colour” which also touches on relationships. But this song talks about those tumultuous partnerships we enjoy in our 20s.
We’ll get a chance to see Wild Cub when their tour with Bleachers rolls through Vancouver on November 8th. The concert will be at The Rio Theatre.

Busy weekend in the Garden City. I’ll be DJing a couple weddings, but before I head off to a hotel ball room, I’ll be taking my little tribe down to Rock The Shores.
I had to work yesterday, so I missed USS which sucks. I love those guys. Today I am amped to see Jesse Roper and The Dudes before I have to take off and DJ.
Yesterday I had to work. During my show I talked to a writer at Pacific Standard named Ryan Jacobs…he used to be at The Atlantic. Last fall he wrote an article about Iceland and how the people there fiercely believe in elves.
Why So Many Icelanders Still Believe in Invisible Elves

Peter Gardner from Hawk and Steel came on my radio show yesterday to talk about his new song “Year After Year.”
I was sitting around the radio factory with DJ Boitano yesterday and he was talking about this funny break Dylan and Jason did on mammals and how long almost all of them take to urinate.
One thing led to another…and I’m in the washroom timing Boitano taking a piss.

Jesse Roper and The Roper Show will be performing tonight (Happy Birthday Tindy!) at Upstairs Cabaret. If you’re planning on hitting the concert, tickets are selling like hot cakes. Red hot hot cakes. So go get ’em before it sells out.
Yesterday he stopped by the radio show to perform a couple songs live. Both new ones.
The support act for the show tonight is a group called Band of Rascals.

Thursday, Jon Williams and I got spoiled at the Radio Factory. We had our Zone Band of the Month Geoff Lundstrom in to perform his single “Wash The Dirt Off.” But then the dude stuck around and recorded a cover of Lorde‘s Much Mega Hit, “Royals.” His trio consisted of himself with Amy and Chris on keys. Amy let Jon hold her 1948 Martin D 28 acoustic guitar!
Earlier, we had Victoria’s Zerbin in studio. The boys dropped a beautiful take on The National‘s “I Need My Girl.”
Maybe you’ll be able to get behind one of these covers and you’ll share it with your friends.
Go with yourself.
The Morning After Show in on Facebook? Believe the hype and throw me a “like.”

Listening to The Zone in Victoria, here a few things that caught my ear.
Jon Williams could just tell you the weather….but then you, you wouldn’t believe it. So out come the 808s and he raps it! Unbelievable? You don’t know nothing!
This one is older, but I like it… if Pol Plastino were the Prime Minister, he’d take all your advice seriously.
Every morning you listen to Dylan vs The World… and there is a theme song. This is one of them, from the Zone’s production team and Zach Parkscott.

Some things I heard on the radio!
I wonder why we decorate Christmas Trees? I know, I’ll ask Pol!
Jon Williams raps a rap about eating chocolate. Mmmmmm festive treats.
I tried to make Jadekins feel my Laptop bag…. she would have none of it.
