Guilty Pleasure: Fast Food

How many times has the term “French fried” been associated with the word “sin”? Junk foods and beverages are the ultimate guilty pleasures, with the guilt frequently outweighing the pleasure. As we get older, we realize that not everything that feels good is particularly great for us. Good-tasting food is frequently bad for health, enjoying life usually means not getting work done, and relaxing is sometimes just a slang term for laziness. I am Victoria with your evolution 1079. Welcome to Guilty Pleasure Podcast the last episode.

 

Guilty Pleasure: Late Nights

People usually stay late for many reasons but sometimes they do not have any reasons at all. You could stay late for anything bad or good but if you always sleep late at night, it might affect you both physically and mentally. That’s whys some people are very serious with their sleeping schedule. Sleep early, wake up early. I am Victoria with your evolution 1079. Welcome back to Guilty Pleasure Podcast episode 7.

Guilty Pleasure: Procrastinating

People postpone for just a variety of reasons. Sometimes it is the result of too much family pressure, such as growing up in a strict environment. They will sooner skip a task than face the embarrassment of getting things wrong. But procrastination is addicting. When people hesitate to do something, they are not comfortable or not in a mood, it is the easiest way to wait until the last min and extend the time as much as they can. This is your evolution 1079 Guilty Pleasure podcast. I am Victoria. Welcome to episode 6.

Guilty Pleasure: Alcohol

Have you ever questioned why you drink alcohol? Is it for social reasons, or do you like the taste? There are many other reasons. These days, I am questioning why do I like drinking? Why do most people drink alcohol? Do I like the tipsy feeling, taste, or being intoxicated? Different from other episodes, in this episode, I interviewed the guests who are not a fan of drinking alcohol and me who enjoy drinking will share different perspectives. I am Victoria as you all know, well if you are not new to the Guilty Pleasure podcast. Welcome to our Guilty Pleasure Episode 5 on evolution 1079.

Guilty Pleasure: Diet Pills

Diet pills may appear to be the solution to your problems. Perhaps you’ve been attempting to reduce weight for a long time. You might be planning a particular occasion and wish to lose a few pounds. Diet medications, whether prescription or over-the-counter, frequently promise fat burning with minimal effort. When you search on the internet, you will find a lot of side effects of diet pills. An eating issue or any underlying mental health disorder is frequently the reason for diet pills.

 

 

Guilty Pleasure: Online Shopping

People enjoy buying on the internet. Not only in Canada, but people from everywhere in the world also make purchases over the internet. It’s become a much more convenient method to shop because you don’t even have to leave your house, especially during Covid 19 pandemic!

Just having to punch a product or brand’s name into the airspace instead of shopping in a reallocation is so much easier. Isn’t it just easier to do that on a computer or on a mobile phone? People search for what they want, locate it, then purchase it. It is considerably easier to find what you want when you purchase online and save more time.

 

 

 

Guilty Pleasure: Online Snooping

People might say it sounds wrong when snooping on other people’s social media. You might think it is terrible to snoop on what someone is doing and their lifestyle. You may poke on your ex-boyfriend or girlfriend, someone you are currently interested in, your celebrity crush, and even could be a company you are about to go to for an interview. If you feel like it is a crime, my question is, are you sure you never snooped on other people online?

Guilty Pleasure: Overpriced Lattes

Eddie, a British comedian, said, “I like my coffee like I like my woman, in a plastic cup.” Yes, many coffee lovers use “coffee” to describe how they feel. Coffee is a fantastic mood booster. It represents emotions and is the most effective communicator in our social lives.

Is it only me who couldn’t complete a day without a cup of coffee? I enjoy drinking at least a cup of Americano Misto or Latte every day, sometimes even more. Each drink cost at least $5 at Starbucks. Suppose I spend $10 a day, which means $ 310 a month. Am I overpaying for a cup of caffeine? What can I say? Good coffee makes my day. By the way, I am Victoria. Welcome to the first episode of Guilty Pleasure Podcast on evolution 1079.

Canadian Boy Band Reminiscences

Canada isn’t known for producing successful boy bands, and SoulDecision’s success maybe since they didn’t consider themselves one – they were just marketed as one.

SoulDecision, a pop band created in Vancouver, British Columbia, under the original name ‘Indecision’ by vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Trevor Guthrie, singer David Bowman, and keyboardist Ken Lewko, all of whom were studying music at Capilano College at the time. They released a handful of singles that gained national top 40 radio playing before getting a record deal. As a result of the popularity of those singles, they got a record deal with Universal Music.

Despite being formed during the height of the boy band craze, they wrote their tunes and performed their own instruments. No One Does It Better, the group’s first studio album, was produced at Velvet Sound Studios in Sydney, Australia, and released in Canada on February 22, 2000. The album’s debut single, “Faded,” was a hit in Canada, hitting number one on the country’s singles list. It’s an up-tempo pop song with R&B elements and a rap interlude by Thrust. In the United States, it peaked at number 22. “Ooh It’s Kinda Crazy,” the follow-up single, was likewise a hit in North America, and at one point, was the most requested song on MTV’s Total Request Live. The video was voted one of the top ten “Greatest Boy Band Videos of the TRL Era” by Billboard in 2018, alongside hits from Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, and 98 Degrees. Over one million copies of No One Does It Better have been sold around the world.

The band was given more artistic leeway over their work because it was issued on lead singer Trevor Guthrie’s record company, Sextant Records. The album was only released in Canada on October 26, 2004, even though it was purchasable on their official site. The band shifted to a more lively and danceable style with “Shady Satin Drug,” which sounded more like their breakthrough tune “Faded.” As seen by their music video “Kiss The Walls,” the band began to be marketed as credible musicians rather than a pop band. While the band’s single “Kiss The Walls” gained widespread attention, the album’s sales were disappointingly low, with only 10,000 copies sold.

SoulDecision has broken up since then, with lead vocalist Trevor Guthrie launching a solo career.

Busking In Vancouver

Pretty much most of the places in Vancouver welcome buskers and street performers. Musicians, magicians, dancers, artists, jugglers, and other entertainers can perform in public locations across the city.

Street entertainment boosts the city’s liveliness and can be a great addition to the streets. Vancouver has a solid mixed-use residential component, making it one of the world’s most liveable cities. In consideration of their captive audience, buskers must be respectful when performing. The content of performance may differ significantly. We currently have performers from all walks of life, from beginners to professionals, who play various instruments, sing, dance, mime, jugglers, balloon sculptors, and caricature artists. We support a wide range of street entertainment and issue permits on a case-by-case basis, depending on performance and content.

The street busker is undoubtedly one of the most underrated vocations in the city. You perform, sing, or act for hours on end on public streets while throngs pass by without blinking an eye. You’re out in the downpour, the sunshine, frigid nights, and grey days. And what about your remuneration? Now and then, you’ll have a few pennies thrown your way.

I’m pretty much sure I’m not alone in thinking that buskers are an essential part of downtown Vancouver’s cultural scene. There are many good players out there that often go unnoticed. As a result, I’d like to pose this inquiry. Busking, I realized, involves more than just picking up an acoustic guitar and staking out a place on Granville and Robson. Buskers in Vancouver have to jump through a lot of hoops in order to perform.
The majority of buskers in Vancouver cluster near Granville Street and Granville Island and on busy downtown street corners and in transit stops. Freestyle rapping, rock guitar, magic feats, and unicycle acrobatics are among the acts.

Buskers who want to perform in a high-traffic area like Granville Street must first obtain a permit from the city. Even if they have permission, they must stop playing by 10 p.m., just as the nightly crowds are beginning to gather. Buskers are also supposed to pick up and change locations every 60 minutes.

Despite the difficulties, there are many buskers who put a lot of heart and soul into their performances.
