The unheard of...

Jukebox Pete:

"White Lines and Red Lights" by Between the Trees

This song talks about love and you can hear for yourself that this is probably one of those tunes that you have never heard of but is a 'hidden gem' of a song. The range of the singer's voice in this song is captivating and it is so straight forward that it makes you want to sing a long. Check it out :)



Christmas! bonus song: "Baby Please Come Home" by Anberlin

Snow Day

Breaking records last year, we had the most snow days I think there's ever been: 11 or 12 I believe...

Here's a documentary of those snow days which I made and students at school were interviewed... enjoy!

It was a great winter and history may repeat itself this year because I heard that back home that again, they had a snow day on the first day of school day in december! Sweet! Gotta love the snow!

Sing a Song

Jukebox Pete: "Love in You Arms" by eleventyseven

This song has kind of a techno voice to it but it's catchy and it is a good song to run to or do sports too... it gives that extra bit of energy... so go crazy!



Jukebox Christmas Jingle: "Sleigh Ride" by Relient K

--From their Christmas album - Let it Snow Baby...Let it Reindeer.
I like their take on Christmas songs, I recommend this cd for all those that want to rock out to their favourite Christmas classics...
Hooray for animation!

Snow means Snomobiling

Now that snow has arrived... check out this video I took in March 2008 down in the field by my house: it is my friend doing a catwalk with his snomobile. Sweet stuff, eh?

Almost Christmas time!

This week's Jukebox Pete brings to you two songs (a Christmas song as a bonus)

Jukebox Pete: "Old Fashioned Girl" by Jaydee Bixby
Up first is the Jukebox Pete's first ever country song to be featured and it comes from an artist who is the same age as myself (18). He came second on the Canadian Idol competition last year and this past summer he released his debut album which has been a success! His singles "Old Fashioned Girl"(song featured) and "Boys in the Band" have climbed the charts! This guy is young and has a long career ahead of himself. I did have a ticket for his concert (he was to play across the street from where I live), but for some unknown reason it got cancelled... someday I would like to go to his show and be entertained.





Jukebox Pete Christmas Countdown: "Christmas Shoes" by F.M. Static

As Christmas is coming in just weeks, a bonus Christmas song will be featured. I have some great songs to share with you and I hope you enjoy this one. And if there is any song out of all the Jukebox Pete songs that you would like, I can send you the MP3 if you ask me.

UFC: Lesnar Era Begins...

I thought I would comment on tonight's fight (UFC 91):

So tonight I went to a local bar/restaurant and watched the big match between the UFC Hall of Famer, Randy Couture, and The Brock (Lesnar). So I cheered for Couture because he's the underdog in the situation: Lesnar has 6 inches of reach on him, Lesnar weights 45 lbs more than him, and Lesnar is 31 (14 years younger than him). Couture's advantage? His experience and smart gameplay... That took him til round 2 where He got a blow to the back of the head, which knocked him to the ground and Lesnar layed the beats... the End... Lesnar wins in round 2 and ties the record of his opponent for winning Heavyweight Championship in his fourth fight.

This is the beginning of the Lesnar Era... but is it the end of Couture? At age 45, Couture may be finished... we shall see!



Here's a video of one of my favourite UFC fighters--- George St.Pierre

Scooter Roller Palace

This past thursday night I hopped on a bus with 14 other students and we went to a mystery destination... all of a sudden we were approaching Toronto and had no idea where we were going or what we were doing... all we knew was that it was suppose to be fun.

We ended up at Scooter's Roller Palace in Missasauga! crazy! It was old school roller skating! It was my first time and it was actually a good time. It took a while to get the hang of it but I recommend for you to go out and try it sometime.

Here's a video of a pro roller skater showing off his moves... who knows? Maybe someday that could be you or I doing that.

Shoot some Hoops!

Check out some hoop shooting that was done in part to raise money for the Heart & Stroke Foundation... Hoops For Heart.

This event took place at my high school on October 31st, 2007. Check out the basketball action! As it was Halloween, the 3 on 3 basketball teams were dressed in various costumes and the tournament was a success.
