Daniel Wesley came into Rock 106 a few hours before his show with Matthew Good at The Stone and recorded an acoustic version of his new song Head Outta Water.  Check it out!

Have you ever seen the show Pawn Stars?  It’s on History Channel and is their #1 show.  I gotta say for some reason I can’t stop watching it.  I love the stories behind antiques…which is odd because I don’t actually own any. 

I went to Las Vegas recently and stopped by the store…on a side note, they don’t allow you to take video inside..but I some how got away with it.  Check out my video here:

I LOVE The Air Show!  Seriously, my favourite thing to see in the summertime.  The CF-18 Hornet is always amazing and the snowbirds never cease to impress.  Check out the video I made below.  Please enjoy in HD!

This week we are taking a little departure from the normal balls-to-the-wall rock songs and introducing you to something a little more chill.  The Civil Wars.  This song was featured on Grey Anatomy, which actually makes me like it less since I’m such a music snob.  Got the album on iTunes and highly suggest it.  It will rip your heart out and put it back together within 37 minutes of listening.

 She is adorable.  I Love her.  Brad Pitt, what were you thinking when you broke up with her for that crazy baby lady..

Have you seen our sweet new TV commercial yet? 

I love hometown bands. This band is from all over Northern and Central Alberta…they are playing at the very huge SXSW festival this summer.  I just bought their new album, you should too!!  It’s called Departing. This is the Rural Alberta Advantage:

My blog thingy wasn’t working good last week, so I’m posting 2 songs of the week today to make up for last week.  Enjoy!

#1 

The Strokes are back!!  Their first new album since 2006 is coming out.  I’ve always liked this band..and I love this track, it’s a good mix olf new and old.  It’s called Under The Cover Of Darkness.  What you think?

#2

Hey Rosetta! is a band I found by accident.  I was sent their CD, it got slapped on the pile (I get a lot) and one day needed a CD for my car…didn’t even think about which one I picked.  The next thing I knew, I was singing all their songs as loud as possible, and the album never left my player.  I’ve seen them live a handful of times and can’t say enough about their musicianship or energy on stage.  They are the entire package.  Their new album coming out next tuesday (Feb 15) and I’ve already pre-ordered it on iTunes.  This song is called “Yer Spring”. 

You may not know, but I’m also the Music Director on Rock 106…so that means a lot of my day is spent listening to new music (hard job eh?).  So I’m going to try to post a cool song of the week, and hopefully get your feedback on it.  I think this is cool, you may not…let’s starts a dialouge. 

This week I’m featuring a band called Pop Evil.  You may remember their song “100 in a 55” which we played on Rock 106 a while back.  This song is called Last Man Standing.  What do you think?

Looks like Ted Williams isn’t the only Golden Voiced person looking for work….
