George and Dallas from Alexisonfire stopped by the X92.9 studios for a chat. They’re in town for some shows and will return New Years Eve for the X92.9 bash. It’ll be their last North American show for quite a long while as after things wind down they’ll head back into the studio to work on a new album. Here’s the interview in two parts:

Stars were in town for a sold-out X92.9 presentation at Mac Hall. She took some time out to chat with me about showering with multiple people, the environment, and of course her band Stars (and Broken Social Scene). Have a listen:

Did an interview with Jay Louis, creator of the website Hot Chicks With Douchebags, and soon to be author of a book by the same name. The interview stirred up some controversy. Lots of Calgary people assume Douchebaggery is just popped collars, but it’s more than that. Douchebags come in all shapes and sizes. Making tough/angry-guy faces and flashing the devil horns when getting a pic taken, 45 degree hat tilt, big glasses, chains, spiky hair, the Gotti-kid look, wigga look, bad tats, mandana, unfortunate facial hair…these are all signs of potential douchebaggery. Here’s the interview in three parts:
