Ohhhhhhhvertiiime winnnnnnerrrr!

The guy just up there is Sportsnet commentator Kevin Quinn. You can hear his signature overtime call (possibly), as well as painfully unentertaining quips and puns from roving reporter/goomba Gene Principe as the Oilers take on the Tampa Bay Lightning tomorrow, Feb. 24.

Thanks to everyone for tuning into episode four of The Great Banana Hoax. I was flying solo this broadcast, as my counterpart went down with an upper body injury - listed as day to day.

Topics I ruminated over during the show included father/son NHL duos, Golden Bears hockey updates, interesting facts about John-Michael Liles, a brief retrospective on John Ware for Black History Month and a brief feature on former North Star Dave Gagner - father of Samwise.

It was a bit lonely in the booth this time around, so I kept myself company by playing even more of my favourite songs of the psychedelic and garage milieu. Here they are, in no particular order (artist, song, album):

1. Jefferson Airplane - "It's No Secret" - Takes Off!

3. Mountain - "You Can't Get Away!" - Nantucket Sleighride

In a couple of weeks, I will be attending an Edmonton Rush lacrosse game. I will have the chance to interview players, watch the game from the "catwalk" at Rexall, and enjoy a complimentary hot dog and pop. I'm going to put a segment together on my experience at the game, which should be ready in a couple of weeks.

One thing I just realized - David Bowie's album Low is nothing more than bleeps, bloops and whale-sounding guitars.
