Me summed up in words and hashtags: bicycles, music, travel, ice cream, donuts, coffee, craft beer and the occasional dam map. #yyj #yyjbike #punk #postpunk #indie #hiphop #vinyl #gis #python
A very special record for me and a #rsd drop from a few years ago. Special because I was at the show. The Pixies (with Kim Deal) 2004 reunion set at Coachella makes for a fine flashback #vinylsunday spin. #alternative #vinyl #vinylrecords #nowspinning #vinylsky

A trio of bands, Nun Attax, Five Go Down to the Sea? and Beethoven from Cork Ireland all having one thing on common, the late Finbarr Donnelly. A #vinylsunday spin of Hiding from the Landlord takes me back to my time living in Cork back in 2001-02. #postpunk #vinyl #vinylrecords #nowspinning

R.I.P. guitarist Greg Brown of Cake and Deathray. He played on Cake's first two LPs and was the sole writer of "The Distance." “I thought ‘Frank Sinatra’ was a much stronger choice for the single," Brown said about the 1996 hit a few years ago, "[but] it worked out.”

Extremely disappointed to hear the governments decision to decommission a section of the Kettle Valley Railway Trail. #bcpoli #bcndp #bikesky

Suppose the one benefit of almost being hit by a cop running a stop sign is that I got to yell at a cop. Ass. #yyjbike

Apparently if you drive an oversized truck you get right-of-way if you honk your horn before turning left in front of oncoming bicyclists. #entitleddrivists #yyjbike

Preoccupations single MUR, one of my favourites from last year, just played on the phone and it reminded me of its video, which seems even more relevant than it did a few months ago. #postpunk

After 4 nights out of town for 4 nights of live punk music it’s nice to return home and slow things down with a spin of The National’s High Violet, being that it’s #vinylsunday. #alternative #vinyl #vinylrecords #nowspinning #musicsky
