Lets Save the Farm!

Posted in food, politics, tagged Farmer Dave, Farming, Interview, Madrona Farm, Organic, The Land Conservancy of British Columbia, Victoria on June 24, 2009| 2 Comments »

Yesterday on the ZAS I had the chance to chit-chat with Farmer Dave of Madrona Farm.

Chit Chat: Interview w/ Farmer Dave on the ZAS

Madrona Farm is an organic vegetable farm just 15 or so minutes out of Victoria. This beautiful land is part of our collective natural heritage and an important contributor to our food security. However, due to increasing demands for property and living space in the Capital Region, it is increasingly difficult to grow food for our community within our city. Farmer Dave and his family are working with the Land Conservancy of British Columbia to raise funds to purchase the farm and protect it as farm land.

Thursday, April 23rd, The Killers came to Victoria for first time since what? the summer of ’03?

This time, sold out in the Save On Foods Memorial Center and before the fantastic show, the Brandon and Ronnie came by the Zone suite for a chit-chat. Because of the mega loud sound check going on below, we took the interview outside on the deck to soak up the sunshine. The Killers thought it was cold, I disagreed and that set the tone for 6 wonderful minutes where we cover their stage setup and its Vegas influence, the upcoming covers record, Oingo Boingo, Danny Elfman’s influence on the song “Bones,” future real estate endeavors, alternate names for Killers songs, family life on the road, and Brandon’s wife’s favourite (or lack there of) Killers song.

Unfortunately off the mic, we talked about the Kanye West/Brandon Flowers collaberation (BULL SHIT! True story according to Mr. Flowers: Brandon was in Hawaii, walked past Kanye’s studio and popped in to meet him. Next day, Kanye releases crazy news to world. Brandon didn’t want to call him a liar on the radio because “Kanye is a nice guy.”), Camping in Oregon (Ronnie wants to buy property there), Cuervo Loran calling Ronnie the guitar player, Brandon’s kid and wife were at the show and expecting another son, they filmed some of the Vic show for possible future DVD projects and Brandon telling David Eleanor that Ronnie will talk Cuervo and my face off in the suite for hours after the interview (it wasn’t hours but the man likes to talk).

We never touched on the breakup rumours. (but this article says the collaboration with Kanye is true… so???)

Then the Killers hit the stage.

Highlight: Brandon saying “How you doing VICTORIA!?!”
Hilariouslight: Lead singer dude of Wild Light: “How you doing VANCOUVER!?!” (SWA?)

Wild Light Intrerview

Posted in music, tagged Interview, radio, The Killers, Victoria, Wild Light on April 27, 2009| 2 Comments »

Outside the Killers show last Thursday, this group of wandering minstrels were working the line. Turns out the boys were the band Wild Light, the group opening for the Killers.

This is was a woefully unprepared interview (thank you to David Eleanor for the super quick primer as the band wandered over). Someone filmed it, which I did not notice, and posted it to Youtube.
