A Hour With Kate On The GOAT!

Here is my most recent hour skim from the GOAT. I tried to keep it tight, bright and light for Saturday morning. Let me know what you think by emailing me, katebruceradio@gmail.com. I would love your feedback!

To hear my growth over the past year with Vista Radio Kootenays you can listen to a bevy of my on air demos on my personal website www.katebruce.ca! :)

Josh Hutcherson and HAIM on Saturday Night Live

         I am a massive Saturday Night Live fan, honestly if I am home alone I re-watch old episodes, when I am at home in Nova Scotia I drive my family crazy trying to make them laugh by showing them old clips from episodes I know they have not watched (they never find them as funny as I do) and I have no problem spending my Saturday nights at home waiting for ‘SNL’ to come on.

         Last night’s ‘Saturday Night Live’ was by far my favourite episode of the season, with one of my current favourite bands HAIM and Hunger Games star Josh Hutcherson it was an incredible episode. I think this episode was great for multiple reasons:

1.   There was no shortage of jokes about host Josh Hutcherson’s height, he is 5’5 and as you can see next to his Hunger Game’s co-stars quite small. This was taken in stride, in one sketch Hutcherson is a character names ‘lil’ peanut’. Adorable.

2.   The host and band are still pretty unknown. Yes, Hutcherson is in one of the biggest movies of the year; but I bet you wouldn’t recognize him (unless you are a 14 year old girl) on the streets though! HAIM is blowing up, but still unknown to most people. I think this is a magical combination for SNL; it is harder for the episode to get overhyped and it lets the stars and cast shine without as much pressure.

3.   The sketches did not rely too much on recurring sketches from the past this episode. There was a free flow to the episode with great sketches that incorporated some of the new cast members.

I am no SNL expert, but I thought this week’s episode was brilliant. Here is my favourite sketch which incorporates two 80s songs we play on Mountain FM and HAIM’s ‘Don’t Save Me’.

Horoscopes, Moons and Madness

I am not one to look to any outside sources for influences on my life. I like to be in control (yes, I am a massive control freak) and with it the entire time. I like to think that I am the guiding force in my life and what star I just happen to be (I am an Aries by the way) is irrelevant.

With all that empowered crap being said, my horoscope has been frighteningly accurate lately, paired with the full moon and eclipse things have been a little strange. Making me more than a little bit crazy, or maybe just crazier… I will not lie to you lovely blog readers; I was a little bit of a wreck Saturday night. Blame it on the moon right?

I want to know what you think; does the moon affect you? My mother always warned me that people always do crazy things during full moons and I read a few article backing her up. Afternoon Ride host Jenny Fines is a believer too.

I can genuinely say that I have not been myself over the past few days, I am a massive fan of alone time and I can’t seem to be around people enough. I got the sudden urge to need to party, instead of watch Saturday Night Live on Saturday night. I am aching with homesickness, which just never happens. I have been reading my horoscopes, again another thing that I just don’t do and I even paid money (out my own pocket) to eat crappy Starbucks food. That was the big one.

Yes, my friends, something was off with me. Hopefully it is just the moon; rumor has it those things will be back to normal on November 3^rd after the solar eclipse.

Until then, let’s just get weird together to Muse.
