Songs Of The Day ~ The Arcs
Dan Auerbach is most well known as the lead singer for the Black Keys, but in reality, the uber-talented musician has tons of projects on the go.
The latest one is called 'The Arcs' which is an assortment of some of the musicians Dan likes to jam with.
Earlier this month, they released their debut album, 'Yours, Dreamily'.
It's quirky, it's psychedelic and unbelievably cool.
Here are 2 tracks I currently have on repeat.
Enjoy.

U2 Taking Over CFOX Vancouver Today *May 14, 2015*
U2 in the CFOX studios
U2 in the CFOX studios
What do you do when the band you've loved, admired and listened to almost your entire life agrees to come to your work???
You lose your mind.
You become a blubbering teenager, unable to string together simple sentences.
You find yourself giddy and jumping around, squealing in excitement.
What do I wear?
Will they be cool?
Will I be able to 'play it cool'?
Will I get a chance to actually meet them/talk to them?
I had a million questions - and in the end - I knew these guys wouldn't disappoint.
And they really and truly didn't.
U2's Adam Clayton & I
Be listening to 99.3 CFOX to hear Bono, The Edge, Larry & Adam take over our station as they play their favoruite bands.
Jeremy Baker & U2
They'll also be chatting with our Drive host Jeremy Baker about their past, present, and their future - as well as their Innocence + Experience tour which kicks off TONIGHT here in Vancouver.
Can't waaaaaaaait!

They say that simple minds are amused by simple things.
I think I reverted to a dorky 10 year old and laughed for about 5 minutes after watching this video... and I'm OK with that.

Hello World (again)!
It's a new year, so that means a new look, a new logo, and a brand spanking new site to kick things off. Yaaaaay!
So far, 2015 has given me a trip to the exotic, far away land of... wait for it.... wait for it... Edmonton, an appreciation for boxed wine (don't judge. These vino companies have really stepped up their game!) and the realization that my beloved pup is really slowing down in his old age (sniffle, tear).
While I've never been one for introspective posts, I have to share with you that as time goes by, there are certain things I'm learning to appreciate more. Family, friends, faults, and a really good laugh - just to name a few. 2015 should be the year of Quality Over Quantity - whether that's in relation to clothing, food, or special moments, etc. - it's not about how many you have, but instead how much you value and enjoy those really great things in your life. Make sense?
**Stepping Off Soapbox**
Oh! And I wanted to send out a special thanks to the BRILLIANT Wyatt over at Highflyer Advertising & Design for the amazing work on my logo and website. You're the bees knees!
Have a great weekend you sexy beasts!

New Beginnings
After a much needed getaway to Europe and a brutal battle with a cold (the battle continues) my hiatus is finally over... kinda.
I'm in the process of completely overhauling my site, designing a new logo, and adding a bunch of new bells, whistles and features.
Before the end of the year, I'm hoping to launch a new, more dynamic and interesting weblog (dare to dream).
The frustrations of learning new programs (even something as simple as garageband) can leave you feeling like a senior citizen looking at a remote control... lost, confused and squint-y. But alas, the squinting continues.
So look for something new and awesome on this site before the end of the year.
In the meantime, here are a few pictures from my trip to France & Italy. The itinerary went as follows: Paris, France - Rome, Italy - Florence, Italy - Venice, Italy - Monte San Martino, Italy
My favourite was... well it's a tie. Paris & Florence were unreal.
Here are a few things I learned on my trip:
1) I have brutal navigation skills
2) French people are surprisingly nice
3) Italian men reeeeeally love their sweatpants. It's an intense love affair that I just don't understand
4) Bread + Cheese + Wine = Something you'll consume AT LEAST once a day
5) There are an unbelievable number of scam artists 'workin' it' outside the Vatican City
6) The supply of incredible art, architecture and history is truly endless
7) EVERYONE must go to Italy & France at least once in their lifetime
And so now, I return to my hunched position, staring a computer screen...squinting.
Enjoy.

Back For More
After a summer filled with exciting getaways to exotic destinations like *said in a whisper* 'Edmonton', I'm back.
I know, I know, you've missed me right? Yes loyal readers (aka: Mom and sometimes, if I'm really lucky, Dad), the slacking has come to an end.
With fall (my absolute favourite season) just around the corner, you can almost smell the change in the air, and you know what that means...
It's time to stop procrastinating on the hundreds of projects that have been sitting there... waiting... waiting... AND it's finally time to revamp the ol' website (tech stuff = eyes glazing over).
Yes friends, change is coming soon.
Until then, here are a few things to make your Monday fly by a bit quicker.
Cool sites to check out:
Awkward Family Photos - Because you'll never get sick of this website. Hilarity always ensues.
Internet Fart - Probably one of the best gif sites ever. It's an experimental digital arts project that will kinda blow your mind. Sit. Watch. Enjoy.
Fashion Grandpas (Instagram) - You'll want to adopt each and every last one of them... or have the itch to run out and buy a bow tie.
Aaaand why not finish off by watching topless people get Tasered, all in the name of art. (Don't worry, it's totally safe for work).
Enjoy.
