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

There is some hope for a bit of both. Universe, please let it be.

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.

'I just love doing it': Meet the B.C. man winning international awards for his maps | CBC News When Jeff Clark sits down to create a map, he says his goal is clear: to tell people a story about the beauty of the landscape they are viewing.

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

Pandora bike lanes to be fast tracked after update from Victoria staff Cyclists using the corridor along the Shelbourne and Pandora might see more safety improvements after fast tracking bike lanes in the area received initial approval.

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

All sorted. On the floor, as per usual. Ticketmaster was terrible, as per usual.

54-40 to headline free outdoor festival in Delta Barns to Beaches celebrates cycling with music, food and beer

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

Construction begins March 10 on new Oak Bay neighbourhood bikeways Improved cycling routes are coming to Oak Bay, with construction set to begin March 10 on two neighbourhood bikeways aimed at bolstering safety for cyclists and pedestrians.

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!

New protected bike lanes and cherry blossoms on Tolmie Avenue.

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

Esquimalt residents asked for input before shovels hit the ground on phase 2 of active transportation plan Before shovels hit the ground this summer, Esquimalt residents are invited to voice their views on the next phase of construction on the active transportation plan for Esquimalt.

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

Beloved Oak Bay ice cream shop to open third location in Vic West The popular Oak Bay-based 49 Below Ice Cream has announced they will be opening their third location in the heart of Vic West.

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.”

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!

For concert announcements @exclaimdotca.bsky.social is great. Regularly check venue websites, gigpit.ca, www.lamppostsocial.com, Ticketweb, Eventbrite and Showpass.

Not as easy as the days when there was a single weekly entertainment publication. The amazing internet makes it so you have to search multiple websites/apps to accomplish same thing. Progress.

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.

The Pixies Live from Coachella vinyl record cover, with ferris wheel, and insert behind orange vinyl record on record player.

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
