Quick Hit - Planes (out August 9th)
Having a two year old kid means you get to relive or experience for the first time. It’s made me appreciate the movie Cars in a whole other light. I have enjoyed every Pixar movie (with the exception of Cars 2 and Brave, both of which I haven’t seen) and this gets me so excited. August can’t come soon enough.
Quick Hit - There Will Be Blood movie poster by Aaron Horkey
-This looks incredible and I can’t wait to buy them from Mondo when they are released.
Quick Hit - Grey Gordon “500 Miles”
Simple, to the point and honest. That’s what I like with my singer-songwriter type of folk. Not to mention he also does a great “Firestorm” cover acoustically.
Quick Hit - The Ghosts In Our Machine
Most of my adult life I have been vegan/vegetarian and whether or not you agree with any of the ethics wrapped up in eating animals, this film seems to focus on the idea of how similar we are to animals (because after all, we are an animal as well). Not trying to push politics on anyone, this just seems like a great documentary on an issue that should be relevant to a lot of people.
Quick Hit - NBA 2013 Playoffs
It’s no secret, I love basketball. Used to only love college basketball, but now fully embrace the NBA and all of it’s glory. This years playoffs are absolutely a joy to watch, especially the Golden State Warriors and their star Steph Curry. I loved watching him play in college and he has now become such a great player that you feel like he can’t miss when he’s on a roll. Watch this sequence and tell me you don’t feel the energy of the sport.
This is a brand new book that previous guest of the show, Justin from Graf Orlock published by a good friend of mine (and great writer) Kevin Stewart-Panko. I have a piece in the book about my experiences in crossing the border into Canada as well as hundreds of other amazing bands that have had similar experiences. For anyone that is interested in touring life, check out this book immediately.
