Ok, I will see Hayden Pedigo when in Toronto too, bringing current count to 3 shows in 8 days.

A devastating loss to the Songhees Walkway and the people who walk it as the Fan-Ta-Sea Isle is now gone. You always made me smile. RIP. #yyj #victoriabc

Relevant throwback photo of the day to the time 10 years ago when I saw Jeremy Hansen speak at a geomatics conference in Halifax.

MF DOOM and Madlib’s Madvillainy is a gem of an album and makes a gloomy #vinylsunday so much better. #rap #hiphop #vinyl #vinylrecords #nowspinning #vinylsky #musicsky

Across this country and regardless of political stripes, we can agree — it’s time to take our economy back from the billionaires. I’m thrilled to share in your vision of a public-led revolution for the 99%.

Federal politics is desperate for a leader who brings new ideas to the table, not rehash old ones that continue to fail, and the NDP just picked the one candidate who is proposing to do just that. Exciting. #cdnpoli #ndp

Pender Islands becoming a better place to bicycle, one piece at a time. Looking forward to being able to bicycle from ferry terminal to South Pender on a dedicated trail. #fingerscrossed #yyjbike

Bruce McCulloch @ McPherson Playhouse, Victoria BC. #kidsinthehall #comedy #yyjcomedy #yyjevents #yyj #victoriabc #comedysky

Last working Friday until May 22nd. I am ok with this.

I appreciate how Phillips Backyard put all the bands I most want to see on the same day.

Oh Victoria. #yyjbike #yyj #victoriabc

Coming to Victoria: Spencer Krug, Victoria Conservatory of Music, May 16th. #alternative #yyj #yyjevents #yyjmusic #victoriabc

Records are great in that they force you to listen to the full album. Cindy Lee’s 2024 release, Diamond Jubilee, is a perfect example of a record best listened to as it’s presented, all 2 hours of it. #indie #vinylsunday #vinyl #vinylrecords #nowspinning #vinylsky #musicsky

The Lochside pigs are growing. #yyjbike

Who would have thought the most time consuming part of filling taxes would be trying to get documents from the bank whose website kept crashing, followed by getting past all the multi-factor authentications of the CRA.

One of the biggest dangers in Victoria is being hit by seagull/crow droppings. Turns out the droppings my hat unknowingly saved me from a few months ago, that can’t be completely removed, still release their smell when wet. #victoriaproblems #yyj #victoriabc

My favourite day of the year is upon us.

This must mean new protected bike lanes soon. #wootwoot #yyjbike

From taking cars off the road to creating safer streets, 7 ways bike lanes make life better for drivers too. #yyjbike #bikesky

Everyday is a good day for some #postpunk, and today’s #vinylsunday spin of Deliluh’s 2017 release Day Catcher is no different. #vinyl #vinylrecords #nowspinning #vinylsky #musicsky

The excitement you feel when the first bike camping trip of the year is booked.

When motorists hit people media refers only to the inanimate object (make/model of vehicle) in headlines. When motorists hit inanimate objects the headlines acknowledge driver of vehicle.

Of course Wolf Parade is very likely playing Phillips Backyard (only 1 weekend this year). They so happen to be the only show I currently have booked for Vancouver as I haven’t seem them before, thereby forcing me to potentially break my own rules, at no fault of my own.

Sad to hear there will be no FernFest this year. Was such a fun music festival, with experiences I will only refer to as interesting. #yyj #victoriabc #yyjmusic #yyjevents

Today both Kim Gordon and Big Thief have tried to tempt me to break my newish rule of not traveling to Vancouver to see bands I’ve seen before. Tsk tsk.

July Talk @ Royal Theatre, Victoria BC. #alternative #rock #yyjmusic #yyjevents #yyj #victoriabc #musicsky

Very happy to have gotten my hands on the original version of @buck65.bsky.social’s Man Overboard. Makes for a very fine #vinylsunday spin. #hiphop #rap #vinyl #vinylrecords #nowspinning #vinylsky #musicsky

1 night, 2 shows. Computer @ Oaklands Community Centre, Victoria BC. #postpunk Black Pistol Fire @ Capital Ballroom, Victoria BC. #rock #yyjmusic #yyjevents #yyj #victoriabc #musicsky

Have tickets to 2 shows tonight where bands I want to see are likely playing at same time. Hope not, but think I’m satisfied with my decision of who takes priority.

Maps can be pieces of art along with story tellers, as demonstrated by award winning Jeff Clark. #gis #map #maps #cartography

Victorian’s are pretty fortunate to live in a city that continues to demonstrate a willingness to prioritize humans by creating safer routes that will make it easier to leave the car at home. #yyjbike #yyj

Bike ride, craft beer, and music festival (with 54-40). Can it get any better? Delta’s Barns to Beaches, meant to showcase the new bike route, is such an event and happening on June 20th. #bikeyvr

Happy this routes getting upgrades, but thought pedestrian/bicyclist engaged traffic lights to cross Foul Bay on Haultain would be more appropriate then flashing lights that, if like others, will warn you to watch out for cars that don’t stop. #yyjbike

Although the new Gorillaz album isn’t as good as I originally thought it may be, so passed on buying, the fact they’re playing Toronto the week I’m there for another show appears to be a sign of some sort…

Whoa, it’s happening!

Today’s #vinylsunday is brought to you by Flying Lotus and their fantastic 2010 release Cosmogramma. #electronic #vinyl #vinylrecords #nowspinning #vinylsky #musicsky

Tolmie is looking a lot better these days, for various reasons. #yyjbike #yyj #victoriabc

Phase 1 of making Esquimalt more people friendly has definitely made it a better place to bicycle. Time for phase 2 engagement, where the most contentious issue will be car storage. #yyjbike

Victoria is very lucky when it comes to the number of quality ice cream shops and the future outlook seems promising. #yyj #victoriabc

“A new pathway to walk, roll and cycle along Mount Newton Cross Road is one step closer to becoming a reality. On Monday, February 23, Council voted to move forward with detailed design for a multi-use pathway between Highway 17 and East Saanich Road.” www.centralsaanich.ca/our-communit... #YYJBike

For some reason bicycling on Bay Street just east of Point Ellice Bridge during rush hour is much more pleasant. #lol #yyjbike

All of my 3 pairs of shoes are falling apart at the same time.

The only band whose live show has always eluded me, due to being too slow to buy tickets for their common sellouts, is Wolf Parade. This has now been remedied. Bonus: Destroyer is opening!

Coming to Victoria: Cat Power, Capital Ballroom, August 11th. #alternative #yyj #yyjevents #yyjmusic #victoriabc

This #vinylsunday blesses me with a spin of TEKE::TEKE’s fantastic 2023 release Hagata, complete with a personalized thank you note from the band after a Bandcamp purchase. #japanese #psychedelic #surf #rock #vinyl #vinylrecords #nowspinning #vinylsky #musicsky

Beginning to accept the fact there’s likely no Radiohead show this year.

New poll confirms: We're the ONLY provincial party ((that's growing))!! We're on track to win more seats, hold the balance of power and force real change. Join the movement: bcgreens.ca 💚

I will never grow tired of punk covers of not punk songs.
