We missed our pal, Dimetre on this one, but Holly Cole is a joy to have a conversation with.  Her latest record, mostly recorded live off the floor, and entitled "Dark Moon" is a stunning listen.  With some old friends on the record, as well as some awesome international friends, this album is a must have in your collection.  From The Holly Cole Trio to present day, this chat was fantastic!

I wonder what Saukrates' favourite song is to play on those awesome speakers behind him??  We will have to ask him the next time we talk.

Dimetre and I have been massive fans of our guest since the late 90s.  We are so fortunate to have had this incredible conversation.  Saukrates is a literal National Treasure.  We chat about everything, from Play De Record, to Scarborough, to one of Hip Hop's most revered discographies.

Conversations are sometimes difficult.  But they NEED to happen, and keep happening.  The ultimate sacrifices that the women and men of the Canadian Armed Forces, Army, Navy, and Air Forces have made, are the reason that we have the freedoms we enjoy on a daily basis.  Our friend, Army Kris, is one of those incredible people.  We thank him and everyone else who served about 50 times in this episode.

This musician is one of our all time favourites.  He is so gracious with his time, and this conversation really goes in depth into the band's writing style, and an awesome and hopeful conversation about the state of the music industry in Canada, and of course somehow always leading back to our Wavelength friend, Jonny Dovercourt!!  Can't wait to see The OBGMs live coming up at Velvet Underground...!

Born and raised in Montreal, Maya decided to take a train to Toronto, and see what happens with her career, after releasing some amazing music back at home!  Taking a page out of Andy Kim's book, she took a chance and inserted herself in T.O. to see what she could make of it.  The result, a new album, acting and voice over work, and that's just the beginning!  This was a fantastic conversation.  Thanks again to our friend, Beth, for making this happen!

Our guest was brought to us by our friend, Jane Siberry.  John Chew has got to be one of the most interesting people in the world.  This in depth conversation takes us from John's expertise in Scrabble, (Derek and I are so jealous,) to him being the editor in chief of possibly the coolest project anyone could be involved with, The Canadian English Dictionary.  We thoroughly enjoyed this conversation with the nicest lexicographer that you could ever hope for!

We are so thankful when artists come back for a second interview!  We last spoke to DijahSB back in January of 2022.  Our friends DJ Cat and Scott Bell were with us for that interview.  Unfortunately, our Derek Lewis couldn't be with us this time round, but Dimetre and Craig had a blast with our old friend.  They are kind of in a bit of a holding pattern as far as shows go, but with DijahSB's upcoming performance at the Polaris Music Prize show for which they are on the shortlist at Massey Hall, we think they'll be plenty busy in the near future!

Dimetre and I are so jealous of the time that our guest, James Gray, spends up in the beautiful Canadian North.  Derek gets up there more than Dimetre and I do, but James LIVES it.  Our conversation with James takes us from Germany to Huntsville, and pretty much everywhere else in between.  Can't wait for him to get back down in the city for a hang and a show....

Okay, so I have adored this band since 1990, when I first saw them open for Rush at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto.

Tsawwassen. It's in British Columbia. How do you pronounce it? Brad from 54-50 gives us the low down on how the locals pronounce it, and how most people outside this border town where his band first got their start pronounce it. 54-40 have been around since the very early 80s. Their career has been a rocky one at times, but they still manage to stick it out, and keep pumping out great albums. From that town I can barely pronounce, to some of the biggest stages in the world, this band has done it all. As always, a massive thanks to our friend Eric Alper!

Two interviews in one night! Our second interview was brought by our co host, Army Kris. Kris is from Edmonton, and his old pal Jake Buckley was a fantastic conversation. Kris apparently DJed AND catered Jake's wedding! (Kris can do it all, including jumping out of airplanes....) Jake is a wonderful folk singer/songwriter and musician, and everything is discussed here, including his fantastic back catalogue, to his upcoming record, to his MASSIVE basement bar.
