In preparation for my campaign on National Digital Media Day (September 25th) I have been planning a campaign that would take me mobile. Thanks to Zipcar, I will be able to travel across the region, blogging at every stop. I decided to interview John MacSween of Zipcar to discover more about their services.

You can follow along on the 25th on my website, with all posts tagged: NDMD08.

The super special Miss604 referral link for Zipcar will be published on every blog post I write on September 25th so stay tuned.

RZ#148 – Hanson at the Commodore in Vancouver

Direct Download Link | 26.37 MB | 21:49

Trying my hand at podcast producing yet again, we go mobile for this special episode. Yesterday Keira and I met up with Zac, Taylor and Isaac Hanson before their show in Vancouver. We learned about The Walk, what they’ve been up to in the 8 years they’ve been away from our city, and most of all that these grown men truly do have talent and a whole lot of heart.

Music in this episode:

  • Clip: MMMBop from the album Middle of Nowhere by Hanson
  • Clip: Great Divide by Hanson – Available for $0.99 on iTunes, proceeds going to HIV/AIDS research

Links to note:

My official article has been posted on E!Online. You can also check out Keira’s wrap up blog post, including her photos, as along with my recap blog post. Big shout out to Dave as well for lending me his M-Audio since our mobile gear has gone missing.

Also mentioned is the UBC campaign, the UBC Insiders blog, and Sean Orr of Beyond Robson.

Direct Download Link | 58.31 MB | 48:12

John is back for a super special Six Song with a theme. In fact it’s so special, there are actually seven songs for your listening pleasure.

  • Dandy Warhols – Mohammed, Nietzche
  • Local H – How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Rock, 500,000 Scovilles, What Can I Tell You
  • Less Than Jake – Motto, History of a Boring Town

And yes, I produced this episode hence the many many seconds of non-speaking at the beginning. But hey, I don’t claim to be a radio professional by any means eh. Thank goodness for podcasting.

RZ#145 – New Music West Interview and Preview

Direct Download Link | 15.61 MB | 13:36

For the last 18 years the New Music West festival has been a centerpiece for independent music, musicians, and industry professionals in Vancouver.

I was able to contact Jory Groberman from 29 Productions (the folks who made New Music West possible for the last few years) and chat a bit about what’s in store. What’s also pretty cool is that they’re handing me a media pass for the event(s) so watch for more announcements and coverage in the month ahead.

It’s good to get back in the saddle. This is one of three, “catch up” episodes to back fill on those six songs that have been missed. Consider it my Christmas present to you. Watch for a quick turn around on the next two episodes, bringing us up to date and a close for 2007 for the six songs on RZ.
