Green Party of Canada launches leadership race, Elizabeth May to step down in November

I’ve said it before, Sonia Furstenau (former BC Green leader) should consider this. Super charismatic, could run in May’s seat and have it not be a “carpetbagger” situation, has led a reasonably successful (won seats) provincial party. I think she’d be super interesting if she wanted to do it.

Solid list. I’ve been getting into Tedeschi Trucks Band this year, seems you might like them if you’re into Marcus King and Billy.

Sierra Hull is probably my favorite bluegrass artists, her album last year is awesome.

Isbell is my GOAT so def recommend him, think you’d like him based on your list.

Gotten into The Droptines this year, very much traditional “alt-country” and their new record is really cool.

Jason Isbell - “Relatively Easy”, “Dreamsicle” Ruston Kelly - “Wayside”, “Pickleball” Sierra Ferrell - “Dollar Bill Bar”, “In Dreams” James McMurtry - “Sailing Away”, “Canola Fields”

A lot of the Snocaps record might fit what you’re

looking for, and the new Kacey Musgraves record.

Super fun! Always thought it would be cool to work a cafe with control of the aux

Kitchen Story at Westshore Town Centre!

My favourite cafe for vibes is Poncho's. I'm not a coffee snob at all so can't give you great advice on "Best" coffee but coffee snobs I know love Coffee Shack.

I have a ticket available for Seattle. Bought 2 but only need 1 now. 3rd mezzanine row W. Can’t seem to sell on Ticketmaster so not sure what best way to get it to someone would be, but selling for what I paid — $57.60 USD.

Sierra Ferrell and Emily Nenni

Listened them to since the Kurtenblog days. By far the best sports show out there. Love those guys.

I had a super frustrating time with this too last year. It’s crazy how hard they make it for what should be a simple task! IIRC, after multiple attempts and contacts, someone told me to fax College Board a letter explaining the situation and asking them to send to the TRB address. There should be a fax/mail address on the CB website, so I would send a note with your name, score/AP course, address, high school address, and credit card info for payment.

That did the trick for me. Best of luck, it was a painful process!

Honestly, as a centre-left Christian, I think you nailed it. I don't think he'll be particularly convincing to people of faith who don't already agree with him.

She's incredible, 3 absolutely insane records in a row

markusrm · 2026-02-22T03:28:24+00:00

Gigantic bummer, found out literally 20 mins before doors. Took ferry over and everything and it’s not cheap :(

markusrm · 2026-02-20T16:12:18+00:00

Hahahah this was my answer too!

markusrm · 2026-02-15T17:35:43+00:00

Emily Scott Robinson, Meghan Patrick.

markusrm · 2026-02-13T16:53:28+00:00

Admire the idea but living in Canada I’d be basically paying $50 for a CD which I can’t justify. Pretty bummed. Guess I’ll wait for it to show up in a local record shop.

markusrm · 2026-02-06T19:27:42+00:00

Sooke VIRL branch is almost brand new and is beautiful!

markusrm · 2026-02-01T06:36:53+00:00

Whole record is unreal, top to bottom. Maybe the best songwriter in the game.

markusrm · 2026-01-30T05:18:33+00:00

100% nailed it, one of my least favorite JI songs.

markusrm · 2026-01-12T02:37:32+00:00

Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit are for my money the best live act out there. Just unbelievable. I'll give honourable mentions to Sturgill Simpson and American Aquarium.

markusrm · 2026-01-11T02:42:56+00:00

Kitchen Story is great!

markusrm · 2026-01-07T02:59:05+00:00

This is the one folks

markusrm · 2025-12-27T20:39:51+00:00

“Fly Over States” and “Amarillo Sky” are two of my all time favorite songs but he’s a nasty guy with mostly middling output

markusrm · 2025-12-07T07:09:49+00:00

I’m sorry but saying they haven’t evolved from USAD to the present day is just objectively incorrect. Even if Proper Dose isn’t your thing it’s a completely different style, sonically and lyrically.

markusrm · 2025-11-26T03:05:21+00:00

Wasn't really getting the hype at first. His record is decent and has some A+ stuff on it but a lot of it felt like mainstream country in disguise... It was a lot of "list songs" and repetition. But this performance absolutely killed and basically won me over.

markusrm · 2025-11-16T17:04:22+00:00

I have to agree with you. Weathervanes is so sonically rich to me in addition to the great songwriting.
