Neil Peart of Rush
On Saturday January 23, 2010 I featured my full play-by-play detailed analysis of Neil Peart's new version of the famous Hockey Night In Canada theme! Hey, if sports channels can do it so can we!!
A very different ICEBUZZ segment!
Sam Roberts and Mobile
Sam Roberts dropped by during a special double-shot on Saturday January 16 and then Mobile did the same on Sunday January 17, 2010!!

Ben and Ian from Billy Talent dropped by during my show on Sunday January 10, 2010 on ICEBERG 85!!!

On New Years Eve and
New Years Day, I hosted:
THE ICEBERG 85 TOP 85 OF 2009!!
If you'd like your own copy of the ICEBERG 85 Top 85 of 2009 countdown list, simply log on to Facebook, search "ICEBERG 85" and you'll see it in our notes section!! Thanks to all you listeners for your great comments about the show -- I had a blast!!
Jesse Labelle dropped by my show on Saturday December 12, 2009. We talked about what he's up to plus he performed two songs live in our ICEBERG 85 studios!
Jesse Labelle is currently touring in support of his new EP "Perfect Accident".
I had a great time chatting with her recently in our interview and during the recording of her "Takeover" show. Sam, the label rep from Maple Music always gets a little nervous with me when he brings in beautiful Canadian female singers because he knows that I always fall in love with them.
Well, this time was no different. Completely unfazed by the fact that Chantal has been married to Raine Maida of Our Lady Peace for about a decade, I decided to fulfill my dream and propose to her!!!
I'm proud to be working for a corporation that allows me to be myself. I have to have fun in what I'm doing. So it was no surprise that I would arrange a prank on my program director's last day before moving to Montreal. The premise was that all the jocks on our Sirius channel - ICEBERG 85 received a parka from Sirius Canada as a Christmas gift, but he did not! (I think he might have been a little miffed about it). I ended up negotiating a jacket for him and to present it to him, I pulled him into the studio with the premise that he was approving a piece of station imaging that was an angry holiday greeting from a staffer.
Here it is...
The
One and Only SASS

called
"Plain Jane".I had a great time chatting with her recently in our interview and during the recording of her "Takeover" show.

Well, this time was no different. Completely unfazed by the fact that Chantal has been married to Raine Maida of Our Lady Peace for about a decade, I decided to fulfill my dream and propose to her!!!
