Vancouver Is Awesome, and we are dedicated to everything that makes it that way.

If you want to read ugly, bad news about this beautiful city of ours, you’re going to have to look to traditional media and other blogs; V.I.A. promotes everything that makes our city awesome, from old to new and everything inbetween. We’re like the human interest piece on the news… only different.

NARDWUAR FOR CHRISTMAS

December 23, 2009

It’s the holidays and maybe you’re sitting at your relatives’ house on the couch, surfing Facebook on your laptop or your phone wondering what’s good on the web. It’s probably a really good day for you to visit Nardwuar The Human Serviette’s site and view one of the hundreds of interviews he’s got up. Seriously, it’s going to take you days to get through them all, so cozy up with an egg nog and appreciate the absolute awesomeness of this jewel of Canadian journalism.

Oh, and take note that the Kid Cudi interview we shared last week just got featured on PerezHilton.com! Awesome.

MENTAL BEAST EPISODE 12 – THE FINALE

December 23, 2009

I can’t believe it’s over! The final episode of the Mental Beast series executive produced by Conor Holler and Cameron Reed can be seen below. The Eggnog Experience soundtrack featuring 29 bands is still available for free (or by donation to the food bank). I hope you didn’t miss the release party at the Biltmore this past Friday and I hope you enjoyed this righteous blend of comedy videos/radio show/soundtrack as much as I did. What an awesome way to end 2009, I can’t wait to see what Bronx Cheer has up their sleeve for the coming year!
