Talked about adding some more interviews and performances on ye old blog today. So here they are.

Download: The Dudes Interview + Performance
Download: The Dudes – “Small Mercies” [song]

Download: Vince Vaccaro Interview + Performance

The interview with Champion was very fun even if a little scattered. The email I got said he’d be by on Friday but low-and-behold I recieved a phone call Thursday night after everyone has gone home from the radio factory saying Champion is at the door waiting to be let up!

The Dudes have been by the Zone a few times and I enjoy chatting with them. Such groovy guys. In this interview we talk about their cursed BMX bike and what it did to one band member’s face! They perform a song called “Small Mercies” and then we end by talking about their new project Dojo Workhorse.

My final interview is with local rocker Vince Vaccaro. He talks about the successes he had on the road supporting Bedouin Soundclash as a solo artist playing by his lonesome.

Tomorrow, I have a very busy Capital Rock City. I hope you return tomorrow to download the show.

That’s all I got, go with yourself.

does it lessen your affection

I am going to start with a couple emails today, my man Geoff talking about yesterday’s post about some bands I am jiving on including The xx:

“I like the xx disc but I know a few people who won’t even give it a listen because of the whole pitchforkmedia thing. pitchfork giveth and it taketh away.”

I thought that was a neat thought. Its almost as if Pitchfork is becoming is a parody of itself.

I replied:

its as if them liking something is the kiss of death for a band. But I don’t care, generally if they really like something, there is something there to like. And even the records they pan, they generally write in a way that can still intrigue me. I remember when Silversun Pickups came out and Pitchfork gave it a “meh” review, they did it in a way that I read it and went, “you know, that might be something I like!”

Some feedback from a Zoner named Megan in regards to this week’s contest to win Stone Temple Pilots concert tickets…. which doesn’t have a clever name. uh oh, bad DJ am I. Basically I unleash the power of the FM dial and encode a “secret” message on either the left or right channel. you need to pan your stereo right or left to hear it. Megan is into it except… MONO stereo! ahhhhh

“Hey! I have to say, the Stone Temple Pilots ‘beat the box office’ contest is cool, with the secret code and everything. But, I listen to the zone everyday” at work on my headphones, and it doesn’t work on headphones!! I get both messages in both ears. So, I am at an unfair disadvantage, tho I am a huge and religiously loyal zone fan!! Just sayin!”

I hope she figures it out, because today… the code is extra, extra special!

Lastly a message from local Victoria manabouttown JP Maurice. He is part of a hip hop crew? sure crew, called The CFC and they have a new video for their song “City Drift.” Listen for “City Drift” next week on Capital Rock City with songs from Purple Grimus, Rabbit and likely more Laundronauts/Steph Macpherson/Forestry. Whoa, so much good new local music to get at…

Go with yourself.

Download The Zone Afternoon Show: Zoner Rips Out His Roommate’s Toenail (mp3)

A bizarre moment today on the Zone Phone. Tyler called into the show to request Phoenix’s “1901.” He wanted to send it out to his roommate Cynthia because in mere moments, he was going to rip her toenail off her foot… and the savage medieval surgery happened live on the show.
