For Halloween at work I dressed up as Dee Dee Ramone. I got a sick leather jacket from Danier (my first real leather jacket) and a Ramones T-shirt from Forever 21. Don’t I look so badass??

Have the Weirdest Tuesday!
Over on Ride the Tempo we released a compilation of the weirdest Canadian tunes we’ve posted so far on Tuesdays! The compilation is a free download on Bandcamp and CDS are available for a small fee. Get weird.

Video Round-Up: Controller.Controller Reunion, Valentine’s Day, More Wavelength!
Time for another video round-up! I was busy last weekend at Wavelength’s 15th anniversary so most of these Vlogs are from there. Friday night was a bunch of Canadian bands covering their idols as well as Controller.Controller reuniting!
Next up we had Valentine’s brunch and then I headed to the Polish Combatants Hall for Lowell, The Acorn, Del Bel and more!
Final night of Wavelength!

New Projects- SOCAN
Hi everyone! I didn’t have much time to blog last week because I’ve been adjusting to a new work schedule. For the next four months, I have joined SOCAN as their New Media Specialist. I love the team I work with.
This week we launched the 2014 SOCAN Songwriting Prize. Until July 3rd, fans can vote for their favourite song of the nominees and enter for a chance to win a SONOS Wireless sound system. Nominees include PUP, Alejandra Ribera, Wake Owl, July Talk and Louise Burns. Go listen to all the songs because they’re all great and cover a variety of different styles. Let me know who you’d vote for.
#GooglePlayMusic Launch Party
Last night, I attended the Google Play Music Canada launch party! The service is Google’s entry into music streaming in Canada. For a limited the first month is free and $7.99/month (regular $9.99) after the trial. You can check out Google Play here.
The food was catered by La Carnita and there was plenty of it! I totally stuffed my face with free food and drinks. Everything was delicious, including a cookies and cream popsicle that was to die for.
The night’s entertainment was provided by Stars, Kevin Drew, A Tribe Called Red and Keys N’ Krates.
The room was familiar faces from my Twitter feed and I did muster up the courage to talk to a few of them.
There was also plenty of stations around with tablets and headphones to try out the new service. I will totally admit I avoided them for a little bit because all I saw was things like Mumford and Sons and Avril Lavigne on the screen but when I played around I realized there’s a huge catalogue of other music available and it will only keep growing. I also talked to a representative who talked about a hub that may be soon available to indie musicians.
As I left the party, they handed out a wrapped gift that happened to be a Google Chromecast. I haven’t actually heard of it before the fact but I’m excited to try it.
Look out for my Chromecast experiences in my Vlog!
Morning at the Symphony
Yesterday morning, I photographed the Toronto Symphony Orchestra during their rehearsal for a Chinese New Year celebration concert. I wasn’t sure where I was going to post these as they do not really fit Ride the Tempo’s content so I decided to post a few of my favourites here. The full set is available on Flickr.
You can check out some rehearsal clips in my vlog.
