Nice. I love mexican food and I love rock and roll, so far, so good, I like these stories. BUT then I continue to read the story, and there is a man that travels the WORLD America trying out street vendor food.
I have often spoke of my dream to open a sandwich cart called “The Paper Bag Princess” but now, if it ever happens… I’ll be so yesterday’s news.
Closer to home, there is a dude that has a blog that talks nothing but burgers… and next week, I’ll be meeting with Donald to review a burger! fun.
After sandwiches, my next passion is a good burger. Maybe I should have Donald come over sometime and make him a burger! mmm. I wanted to review the Canoe burger and that was our original plan, but the dude ended up hitting that place last week, so next week I want to do Pluto’s and then Coral and come too and we’ll eat burgers and talk about them all intellegent like.

and lastly on a non-food related front, just a great article from my man Devlin at the TC about one of my fave Vic bands, the Racoons.
Thank you for taking the time to find the program and if you like the show, please share the link with a friend, subscribe to the podcast from the iTunes podcast section (just search ‘Capital Rock City’ in the iTunes store) or use this RSS feed.
Capital Rock City #60 has lots of great new music this week. Well new, to me. However I start the show with one off theset’s Neveroddoreven album. The song is called “Echohead” and I like it because I recently had a chance to see the video. Superb video.
November Rising is a band I saw many years ago? I can’t remember but it was sometime ago and it was at Steamers, so it must have been in the distant past. My friend Justin from Station House Pub told me about the band. Very epic.
Jon Middleton of Jon & Roy fame has a new side project, The Listening Party. The Listening Party loves their drums and they sing about summer.
James Kasper is back with some new music, so I sampled my favourite. I like “Breezy’s” nice build to a furious jam at the end.
Thank you for downloading. Please share this link with your friends.
This TV Commercial is cute. It must come on a half dozen times while I am watching TV because the song is always stuck in my head.
The band or artist is Hello Gumption and the song is “Spinning As We Go” which I have the feeling was written for the commercial. On iTunes, the man/men only have two songs and they are both TV commercial songs. I always thought it might be a fun living to be a jingle writer, you know if I had any musical skills. Reminds me of the guy from Forgetting Sarah Marshall. As someone that occasionally produces radio commercials, the music beds that we use are brutal. I am sure it is more a budget thing, but man, if someone could make joyous contemporary beds for commercial use, I’d think you’d be able to find a market for it.
ha, after Hello Gumption playing on the iTunes, Hell Yeah sings “Alcohaulin’ Ass.”
First day back after another fantastic 24 Hour Relay for The Kids. The Amalgamated Team Zone over came some serious setbacks and a crushing recession to pull together and raise an astonishing $8262! A big thank you to so many Zoners who came together to help send kids to camp, but especially Captain Rhaye, BC Smoke Shop, The Bulletproof Babes, and Aegis Fang.
A few highlights… well off the top, the team Wasted Talent has a Drinko Plinko board game in tent city that crushed. I enjoyed tipping pints with members of the Sharpies and The Canoe Brewpub. Wayne from the BC Smokeshop brought a keg, so that makes him a pretty special humanitarian in my world.
Allie The Zone Ranger and Bank Girl somehow managed to rally hard late, and stay up with me when it was my turn to jock the Zone @ 91-3’s water station during the witching hours of 4-7AM.
I think the key for me actually surviving the weekend and not dry heaving in my parking lot at 11 AM while unpacking; was the fact that I went home for a square dinner and a nap before coming back for the late night shenanigans.
Already, we’re talking about next year ‘round these parts. Part of me want sot form TWO teams. I don’t think Coral will be too into that idea. But I think it would be cool to have a team of athletes and kids to compete in the running aspect of the 24 Hour Relay and leave the drinking of general hippy drum circles to the Amalgamated Team Zone.
I want to call the Kids team, The Junior Zees or The Fashionable Guns. What do you think?

Hey Jeremy,
You have to help me out! You played a song last week during my drive home, I dunno, maybe around 5ish, it was by a band called Sex Ed I thought, it is driving me crazy, they were really good but I can’t find anything on YouTube or anywhere…..I think they are from Van and he had written the songs for his girlfriend while he was in college and then they kind of got discovered when his songs got distributed somehow around his campus.
Thanks so much,
Lauren
Hey Lauren,
You’re awesome. That song/band is one of my favourites right now. From what you’re told me, I think it was Passion Pit (that’s the artist that wrote all the music for his girl while in college and he’s from Massachusetts) and the song we’re featuring on the Zone is called “The Reeling” from the record Manners.
I hope that helps. If it is incorrect, let me know and we’ll try something else or I’ll need more info.
Thank you for the email.
Rock.
Jeremy

Hi Jeremy,
I meant to write down the name of the first song/band you played yesterday on connect three but I flailed! Can you tell me what it was? It really was epic.

Not this past weekend, but the one before, Grandma and Grandpa Jack came to visit and took Miss Mads to Willows Beach. These are some pictures from my Dad’s Blackberry.
This video is darn wonderful. Makes me like the song again… that is how good this video is. “Kids” enjoyed many weeks at Number1 on the Modern rock Countdown and now is number one in my heart with this whimsical tale.
The “mom” is the lovely Joanna Newsom, I don’t know if she has a kid in real life, but my-oh-my, she sure can portray a yummy mummy.
Give this dude one magical minute, and you’ll have a dance party on your hands! (thank you Zoner Rick for sending this in)
I remember being down on the floor for Santigold in the 80 plus degree heat and looking back up the hill at The Gorge and smiling at this moment in Sasquatch glory.
