Sam Roberts Band‘s 6th studio LP, Terraform, is out on October 26th. We’re looking forward to seeing Sam Roberts Band live in Vancouver on February 7th at The Orpheum. Maybe we road trip to Ballard to see the group at the Tractor Tavern on February 8th?
I asked Sam Roberts, if we were at his place for a party drinking Fin du Monde, what are five records he’d select for the turn table. The dude happened to be beside his LP collection.
The Kinks – Lola Versus Powerman and the Moneygoround, Part One
Men At Work – Business As Usual
The Clash – London Calling
Abba – Greatest Hits
Bob Dylan – Desire
Plus bonus 6th selection…a J.J. Cale record.

Back to the blogging grind after letting the MAS blog fall fallow for a bit. Right now I want to share a few songs from my radio show (and I might have some more for you tomorrow from Tokyo Police Club and Said The Whale).
On Wednesday, Sam Roberts stopped by The Zone in front of his show at The Q Centre. Weirdly…K-Os also happened to be in Victoria…so he stopped by too.
The Sam Roberts Band performed a couple songs.
Cool. I really enjoyed that “Shapeshifters” cut. Track one from his 2014 album, Lo-Fantasy.

Today I was fortunate to have Vancouver’s Head of the Herd on the show. They performed their single “We Could Get Together.”

Wow. I am about one week and one day from my first ever boxing match! The Fight 4 The Cause Charity Boxing Classic is happening on Saturday, November 22nd at The Empress. I’ve been training every morning at 6AM for 7 weeks…one more week of boxing bootcamp and then its game time. To get this party started… Team Zone joined me to create a video that will play before my fight.
Dylan and Jason hopped into the Zone studio with Sheldon to record a cover of DJ Khaled’s “All I Do Is Win.” Then we all went down to the VIC 42 studio with Webmeister Bud to film a “corporate” video. Here we go.
And no one has asked me…but you know…just in case…our cover song is a free download.

And lastly… a short clip from my radio show today. Talking about the Rosetta Spacecraft, the comet landing and the eerie sound the lander recorded.
