New @ChiliPeppers today. Have a listen to the funky Dark Necessities

May 5, 2016 by morningaftershow

chilipeppers

The Red Hot Chili Peppers have been grinding out sunny Californian radio-alt rock since the 80s!

Their 11th studio record is out on June 17th and will be called The Getaway.

The Chili Peppers haven’t turned my crank in awhile and truth be told, I was expecting to hate this cut….but you know what, I don’t hate it. It’s not a revolutionary jam, but it is pleasant.

The song is called “Dark Necessities” and features some funky Flea bass, disco piano and Anthony Kiedis singing about drugs, I think. It’s what he tends to sing about.

The band is doing some shows and festivals, but nothing in the Pacific Northwest.

Go with yourself.

I wanted in on the fun, so I filled mine out.

They have returned. New @Radiohead “Burn the Witch”

May 3, 2016 by morningaftershow

RadioheadVideo2

Today is the day. New Radiohead. The song is called “Burn The Witch.” It’s a stop motion animation that shows a little English village.  The people are all a little strange as they take some sort of magistrate on a tour. At the end they build a giant wooden structure and light it on fire! Radiohead have been hinting at a new song called “Burn The Witch” after sending a bunch of flyers out to fans. Yesterday their social media went blank…today, May 3rd, my brother Matt’s birthday, boom.

Go with your low flying panic attack self.

Happy Monday! New music from @BandofHorses

May 2, 2016 by morningaftershow

bohcover.jpg

OK, not exactly BRAND new…last week maybe? New enough for me. I have loved Band of Horses for many years. They are definitely a band that both my wife and I enjoy together which makes them special to me. Coral notice don her timehop that it was on this day, 9 years ago that we moved in together to this hip condo on Yates Street in Victoria. 12 months later we had a little baby named Madelyn and had bought a place. Huh.

New record is called Why Are You OK and will be out in June. Read some details on Pitchfork.

Coral and I did a brewery tour on Saturday. (video coming soon!)

Vancouver Brewery Tours showed us a great time….if you’re ever in Vancouver and want something fun to do to get you out in the city, drinks some good beer, and learn a few things you gotta do it.

***

Sunday was a gardening day! Hadst eh kids in the garden getting dirty…and maybe a little too much sun. Yikes!

Now I better get back to it. Monday and it is sunny and hot in Vancouver. Feels like a summer holiday out there. I should have worn jorts to work.

Go with yourself.

Coral’s fave right now, ZAYN’s “Pillowtalk” here’s a remix

April 28, 2016 by morningaftershow

a knight of the seven kingdoms

I am amped on the Game of Thrones being back. It got me thinking about the Dunk & Egg prequels….and I can’t find any of them. Pretty sure I loaned out the first two graphic books and then I accidentally donated the Warriors anthology which featured the the third story.

So I re-ordered it!  When I’m finished Pillars of the Earth I’ll reread this. Nice.

I am prepping to DJ tonight at Match in New West and was trolling some remixes and came across this one from ZAYN. Coral perked up and said, “I LOVE Pillowtalk.”

Good enough for me, I’ll add this song to the rotation.

Go with yourself.

The new one from @Beyonce features one hell of a rocker in “Don’t Hurt Yourself”

April 27, 2016 by morningaftershow

Better Call Becky with the good hair….

 Beyonce released her 6th album on Saturday night. It began with an HBO special for her visual album. On the record Beyonce is dealing marital breakdown, infidelity, sadness…and then reconciliation, healing and empowerment. There is a lot going on with the record sonically.
Also a huge selection of samples, features and guest writing credits… The song “Hold Up” has Beyonce riffing off an old Yeah Yeah Yeah’s lyric from their song “Maps”, that was changed up a tiny bit in a 2011 tweet from Ezra Koenig of Vampire Weekend.

One of her songs features the ferocious guitar of Jack White and a sample of Led Zeppelin. Check out “Don’t Hurt Yourself.” It’s a rock and roll jammer.

Go with yourself.

Sometimes you trust the Soundcloud gremlins, they brought me @__bloodboy__

Trust the machine….well sometimes. I was listening to Thrice on soundcloud and the gremlins dished up an artist I’ve never heard before after. California’s electro popper Bloodboy. Her song “Human Female” sounds great. It made me take notice.

Also… c’mon that new Thrice? Magic.

Go with yourself.

Listening to the post-hardcore Victoria band @noliarsbc

April 27, 2016 by morningaftershow

No-Liars

No Liars from Victoria released their music video today for the song “Catalyst.”

The band is in Vancouver tomorrow for a show at Venue and then Friday in Victoria at Distrikt.

Punktastic had this quote from the band: “The song is an expression of betrayal, and all the things that go through your head when you realize you’ve had the wool pulled over your eyes by someone you trusted,” the band explain. “We wanted to capture the raw energy of the band’s live performance in a bourgeoisie estate where our kind of music isn’t normally allowed.”

Go with yourself.

Listening to music and eating sandwiches with Jack & Coral

April 22, 2016 by morningaftershow

Jam opened a new location in Vancouver on Beatty….I walked by it the other day around 11AM…and it was not too busy. Returned today with Jack and Coral, lined up down the block. Bullshit man.

No worries…Meat & Bread was just down the street, so we went there. Great tunes smashing while we ate meatball sandwiches.

Go with yourself.
