Some local YYJ hip-hop leads off this week’s Capital Rock City podcast. Hip-hop is not my strong point, so I chose the songs based on some superficial traits. The first song is called “Saints Marched” and New Orleans Saints won the super bowl, fun. The second song I selected is called “Speak and Listen (Green Light DJ Speedyshoes Remix).” The music video features my friend Chucky. Nice. A couple weeks ago I was talking about a former Zone Band of the Month called The Greatest Explorers in the World. They are now done, but all the old musicians are now in other bands, Cairo is one of them. The show ends this week with current Zone Band of the Month, Maurice. Thank you for downloading my weekly Victoria podcast.

There is a local Victoria hip-hopster group called Outer City. They have a mix-tape they made and Eric from the label sent me the link to check it out. Its a free download!
The Pocket Kings‘ song “Speak and Listen” features my friend Chucky in the video. Check it out.
I don’t really know too much about hip hop. I think Jay Z is boring and he’s considered the best… so download and have a listen and you tell me.
A couple weeks ago I talked about an old Band of the Month called The Greatest Explorers in the World. I always remember liking the group but like a lot of UVic bands… they are here today, graduate and are gone tomorrow. The boys from TGEITW have all moved on but are still making music. One former member is now in Vancouver making music as Cairo.
Finally I revisit one of my fave Vic rockers bands, Maurice. they are the Zone band of the month for February.
Coral said to me the other day, “hey weren’t Maurice JUST the Zone band of the month, like a couple months ago?”
I said, “no… you’re just getting old. It was a few years ago but as you get older, everything feels just like yesterday.”
“But I’m only 27!” she protested.
“yeah that’s when it starts.”
man, now our parents make so much sense.
Go with yourself.
