If Kristina could see any musician live it would be: How about my dream bill? DOA, SNFU, The Black Halos and the Rebel Spell. Maybe throw Pride Tiger, the Casualties and Slayer on there too…just for good measure.

Kristina’s favourite food/beverage is: Uncle Fatih’s potato and/or sun-dried tomato pizza smothered in creamy ranch sauce, washed down with a nice smooth pitcher of ice cold lager.

Kristina’s favourite colour is: Leopard.

Kristina Mameli quotes:

The Rocky Horror Picture show "Don’t dream it; be it."

Rancid: ‘‘When I’ve got the music, I’ve got a place to go.’’

Kevin Ribble: ‘‘If you don’t have anything to say, then shut…up.”


Red Robinson or Sam Sullivan?

Two epic interviews took place today.

One, a broadcasting legend that needs no introduction: the ever astounding Mr. Red Rodinson.

The other, the lovely mayor of our fair city, Mr. Sam Sullivan.

Which one will air tomorrow at 3:05???

I'm taking votes...

D'Oh!!! Darren Blakeborough---The Sociology of the Simpsons.

Today on Making Contact: UCFV's incredibly articulate Darren Blakeborough, professor of the Sociology of the Simpson's.

Darren talks about how the show is not one to be dismissed, but is one that should be discussed as it can be viewed as a reflection of sorts on our culture.

Thanks Darren for joining me!

He was a punk before you were a punk...the one and only Chris Walter.

Local author Chris Walter, CEO and bottlewasher of GFY press, has quickly become a force to be reckoned with in the underground literary world.

His novels are simple, yet complex, oft channelling Stienbeck and Buckowski.

His eclectic cast of lovable characters, and what a cast they are, are quirky and flawed, but undeniably human.

These elements combine to make Chris my all time favourite author.

I had the chance to sit down with Chris to disuss his life, his career, and Vancouver, particularly the DTES and the music.

Thanks again so much to Chris Walter!... more>

YOU'LL NEVER GUESS WHO I HAVE AN INTERVIEW WITH!

I HAVE AN INTERVIEW WITH QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE ON WEDNESDAY!!!!

This will probably be the single most pivotal interview of my entire life and I couldn't be more excited!

If anyone has any burning questions for QOTSA, let me know!

Cya in the pit!
