On the show this week Cody Spencer from the band Young Lions joined me in the studio. We spent the entire hour and a half talking about music in Victoria with the whole show revolving around the Old Life Records Compilation. Cody is the brains behind Old Life Records, a brand new and very exciting record label based here in Victoria. Taking a page from the book of the Blocks Recording Club, Old Life Records is essentially a collective, working to put out music that wouldn't find a home anywhere else. Old Life is still in its infancy, but be assured that there are some very (very!) exciting plans for the near future. Don't try, do!
Here is the playlist from this week:

P.S. My computer crashed this week, so this post is not all it was intended to be. Soon you will be able to download the interview with Cody and also listen to the compilation off this page. Stay tuned!

fucking crashes. I thought macs didn't crash. my computer crashed last month.
YAY UPDATES.
Turns out when I dropped a 1000 page book directly onto the hard drive it did some damage. Damn you Cardinal Richeleu!
nevin, did mr. spencer specifically say that he was taking a page from blocks, or was that just you inserting your ontario bias into my west coast world of k recs and knw-yr-own?
oh yeah, I'm starting an internet battle with you.
Totally said it. Or that's a paraphrase.
To be fair, though, I also mentioned Marriage Records as an influence. And Marriage is kind of just k recs part 2 (/still relevant+hip).
And I'm surprised that you mentioned knw-yr-own. I didn't know that Lunsford held such an important place beyond playing in THAT band?
oK, well, I am glad you cited marriage recs. as for knw-yr-own... no, no, you're right. they are not really so important.
curses. I was rearing to go after the ferks.
