Happy 24th Birthday to my sister Andrea!

I got some fun emails today and I’ll go over those in a moment but first I want to talk about Capital Rock City and The Gaslight Anthem and some other random music notes.
Capital Rock City has been a bit delayed. Sara wants the show to be super duper before it ends up on the Zone’s website. So I am going to “test” it out here on http://www.jeremybaker.ca and your feedback will be paramount. Computer Guy at http://www.vicstream.com has be clutch in setting up some internet server space to host the show and the technical support needed. There is this really groovy media player at Yahoo that I LOVE. When I figure out how to use it and how to easily upload audio then I think I can take the blog to another level.

David Eleanor dropped the Gaslight Anthem‘s new record The ’59 Sound on me yesterday and it is living on my iPod and in the Jeep right now. Sounds too much like Bruce Springsteen, Killers circa Sam’s Town and a dash like The Hold Steady. All good things to me. Solid disc.
The record has almost knocked Frightened Rabbit from the top spot on the musical chart of my heart. Almost. I am trying to track down Glasvegas‘ new record as well. If I can get a copy from work then that will save me the $9.99 from iTunes. Glasvegas’ interview scheduled for this afternoon has been shifted to tomorrow. If/when I figure out the media player, I’ll post some audio here.
The Stills will be live on the ZAS on Friday afternoon right after Connect Three. and as above, maybe I can learn how to post some highlights on thee blog.
!AND THIS JUST IN! (like seriously while typing, Sara popped her head in the door)… Sam Roberts is likely live on the ZAS tomorrow or Friday AND #27 D Lloyd from the Victoria Salmon Kings on Thursday around 3PM… yikes busy couple days.

In iTunes news, Acres of Lions brand spanking new single, “Closer,” is available now for just .99 cents! Get on it.
Do the RIGHT thing and help our friends out with a buck!

The other day I talked about Jaydiohead. Not every Zoner found it as amusing as I did.

i was freaking disgusted that the zone would even consider playing this shit that makes my ears bleed! i went to radiohead at the thunderbird stadium and it was the best show ive ever seen, and hearing that same amazing music played with gangsta rap over it talking about how hes got to murder his homie is really a sad attempt on trying to make jay-z’s crappy “art” listenable so for the love of god stop ruining an amazing modernrock band with a crappy re mix. this is the zone…not 95.3, i mean come on! whats next nelly and flava flav getting jiggy over deathcab for cutie

Hey Kelsey, this the recipe you’ll want to try first.
A Japanese Village Type Steak Sauce
makes a bunch, so consider halving the recipe
1 cup toasted sesame seeds
1 1/3 cup Vegetable oil
1 cup low sodium Soy Sauce
1/3 chopped white onion
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Vancityrockgirl would recommend trying something healthier than a cup and a third of vegetable oil. She says you could even halve the amount of oil and it *should* still be cool.

Coral took off to Paris today at some bizarre time so it is just me and Maddy (and Nana of course helping out HUGE!). We crawled around. Practiced our walking and then took Auntie Andrea to Red Robin for her birthday. I think Monk’s two top front teeth are coming it!
Baby is still alive.
