Today's guest is Douglas Ray Jaffe. An author, poet, and modern-day philosopher whose words challenge conventional thinking and offer profound insights into the human experience. His work delves deep into themes of existence, consciousness, and the intricate connections that bind us all. His book, “Who Is Douglas Ray? Lyrics, Writings, and Poems,” is available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Who-Douglas-Ray-Lyrics-Writings/dp/B08QLMR2WD His musings were recognized by a friend for their poetry and lyrical possibilities. Douglas Ray Jaffe teamed up with award-winning producer, Craig Brandwein, to set his lyrics and musings to music. The Douglas Ray Jaffe Project is an expansive undertaking. It is a collaborative project, seeking musicians and voices that fit each song and its sensibilities, regardless of genre. In the spirit of groups like Broken Social Scene, Animal Collective, The Six One Five Collective, and Moonsville Collective, The Douglas Ray Jaffe project is an experiment as a musical collective. Three songs have already been released: “Gullability”,“For Rachel”, and “One More”. Each song is a distinctly different treatment.

In this episode of Parenting is a Joke, singer-songwriter Amy Millan of Stars and Broken Social Scene opens up about the wild logistics of parenting on the road, from breastfeeding backstage to taking her toddlers on European tour buses. Amy shares what it was like to return to the stage just 12 weeks postpartum, how a Canadian grant system once forced her to pretend her childcare provider was a photographer, and the creative lengths she's gone to—like winning $150 at a casino—to get her daughter a clean bath. Amy reveals how she once had to pretend her childcare provider was part of the crew just to qualify for a tour grant—and how that policy has finally changed. She also shares how her second child was basically brought into the world by her friend Rima's legendary carrot cake and martinis. Host Ophira Eisenberg and Amy compare late-in-life motherhood, traveling with gear and children through three climate zones, and raising kids who casually refer to their sibling as "Sister." The conversation also touches on fertility struggles, career sacrifices, and the everyday surrealism of going from soundcheck to bath time. Amy's new solo album I Went to Find You marks her first in over a decade, and she explains exactly why that gap makes perfect sense. Thank you to Lumen for sponsoring this episode!

NBN host Hollay Ghadery speaks with cultural icons, Anne Waldman (The Iovis Trilogy: Colors in the Mechanism of Concealment) and Andrew Whiteman (Broken Social Scene) who have collaborated to create Your Devotee in Rags—a metamorphic sonic poetry LP released by Siren Recordings in 2025 and is available from Spotify. The conversation starts with a discussion of Anne's epic, The Iovis Trilogy (Coffee House Press, 2011). Published for the first time in its entirety, this major epic poem assures Anne Waldman's place in the pantheon of contemporary poetry. The Iovis Trilogy, Waldman's monumental feminist epic, traverses epochs, cultures, and genres to create a visionary call to poetic arms. Iovis details the misdeeds of the Patriarch, and with a fierce imagination queries and subverts his warmongering. All of Waldman's themes come into focus—friendship, motherhood, politics, and Buddhist wisdom. This is epic poetry that goes beyond the old injunction “to include history”—its effort is to change history. Your Devotee in Rags is a missive to this age of patriarchal power, its songs and poems are designed to specifically confront that power and hold it to account. Taking such activist inspiration from musicians like Lido Pimienta and Tanya Tagaaq, musically YDIR blends acoustic and electronic genres, waltzes, laments, and Pauls Boutique-era Beastie Boys mash-ups all with the intent of creating a new artistic headspace: sonic poetry. The cultural direction is forward, the earbuds open up the stereo field, listening to YDIR is, in a word, empowering. More about Your Devotee in Rags: Your Devotee in Rags is a sonic poetry collaboration between Anne Waldman and Andrew Whiteman; an act of desire and metamorphosis expanding the performative vision of being at the horizon of new experience, stripped down, exploring the turf, through poetry and spiritual yearning. Anne says: “Wizard Hal Willner would be proud of us companions in the vibrational matrix. Comrades in a studio of subtle suspense, and where were we headed? A magnificent voyage! Tender, rugged, true. I met Andrew Whiteman, genius player, composer, scholar, in one of Hal's unpredictable alchemical laboratories. We instantly bonded as mavens of poetry and its attendant orality, dedicated to the passion of epic life that is the source of this album, the 1000 plus pages of the feminist canto: Iovis Trilogy: Colors in the Mechanism of Concealment; passages plucked to be re-imagined in ambient explosive word-sound. On the Yantzse, in a strip club, a maelstrom of memory honoring precursor male poets, dressed in the rags of Celtic hags, so much more as mendicant, witty siren, compassionate lover, exploding empires of patriarchy and war. A kind of mythic hospitality.” Andrew says: “It was filmmaker Ron Mann and producer Hal Wilner who showed me the way. Hal was my guiding presence—whip smart, funny, gentle, empathic. This album is dedicated to him.” More about Anne Waldman: Anne Waldman is a living legend. Poet, performer, professor, editor, cultural activist, grandmother, and co-founder with Allen Ginsberg of the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics. Former director of the Poetry Project. Tireless author of over 40 books, her trademark energy coils ever outward, always seeking to reveal the four-fold vision that we have largely lost. More about Andrew Whiteman: Andrew Whiteman is a musician and mythopoetics scholar from Montreal, Canada. He writes and performs in Broken Social Scene, Apostle of Hustle, AroarA, and Poets' Workout Sound System. He is a co-founder of Siren Recordings. Learn more about your ad choices.

For the 20th anniversary of Stars' breakthrough third album, Set Yourself on Fire, we take a detailed look at how it was made. After Torquil Campbell and Chris Seligman grew up together in Toronto, they formed Stars when they were living in New York City. Their first album, Nightsongs, was made with the help of their friends in Metric and several guest singers, including Amy Millan. Deciding to relocate to Montreal, they added Amy Millan and Evan Cranley as full-time members. Their second album, Heart, was released in 2003 by Paper Bag Records and the new label Arts & Crafts, which was co-founded by their friend Kevin Drew of Broken Social Scene. For their ambitious third record, they brought in drummer Pat McGee and producer Tom McFall. Set Yourself on Fire was eventually released in 2004. In this episode, Torquil Campbell discusses the early days of the band as an outlier in the New York City rock scene and how they found their people when they moved to Montreal. He describes his vision of having both male and female vocalists and how when Amy Millan joined, they could start telling stories from two different sides. Amy Millan discusses her initial reluctance to join the band, but how she was able to cement her place as co-lead singer and develop her songwriting voice. She also describes the alchemy of the relationships in Stars and how despite some romantic turmoil within the band around the time of this album, they've remained deeply connected to one another decades later. Evan Cranley talks about his musical partnership with Chris Seligman and how the two of them were able to collaborate to develop song structures in an orchestral pop style. Chris Seligman describes how his background in classical music, his love of string arrangements and his perfectionist tendencies impacted the music they made together. From the vibrant Montreal music scene of the early 2000s to an encounter with a stranger in a bar that led to a house where the songs were written to connecting with Tom McFall in London to a big fight in North Hatley to a mad dash to finish string arrangements at that last minute to personal lyrics about love, death and the band itself, we'll hear the stories of how the record came together.

Amy Millan is a Star, literally, she’s a member of the beloved  Montreal indie-pop group Stars. She’s also a satellite member of the iconic Broken Social Scene collective. But the song you’re about to hear, “Wire Walks,” is from her first solo release in fifteen years — I Went To Find You. Diving deep into her past, Millan taps into one of her favorite memories with her father, whom she enjoyed singing with in the evenings before his tragic death when she was five.

We Forgot to Break Up tells the story of fictional Canadian band The New Normals; an indie rock group that transcends labels and definition, and changes the scene of indie rock music. The New Normals is led by Evan (excellently portrayed by Lane Webber), a trans man singer-songwriter who has the big stage in mind all the while trying to navigate his relationship with his girlfriend Isis (June Laporte). Evan finds his relationships tested as the arrival of the new guitarist Lugh (Daniel Gravelle) catches his attention, and possible affection.We Forgot to Break Up is adapted from Kayt Burgess' Heidegger Stairwell and feels pulled directly from an era where each new indie rock song that you heard spoke to your deepest emotions in a way that you'd never expected. The New Normals echoes the great bands of the era, with the strains of Broken Social Scene's guitars being felt throughout the soundtrack. There's a wealth of great original songs too written by Torquil Campbell from the band Stars. In one of the films many memorable moments, the band is living in a share house loft which acts as a creative space, and a space to earn money too, with bassist Coco (Hallea Jones) working as a phone sex worker to bring money in. Her responses to the client on the other end of the line spur Evan into writing a song that then becomes a hit for the band.There's a wealth of heart and compassion within We Forgot to Break Up, but it's also a film that really sinks its fingers into the dirt and vibe of the indie rock scene, with Knox pulling from the aesthetic of the celebrated documentary Dig! We Forgot to Break Up really leans into that lived-in feeling, making the film feel almost documentary like at times, and in turn, it gives space to let the lives of the queer folk who make up the cast and characters simply live as they want to. While this is, ostensibly, a film about queer folks, their queer identity is not the main focus of the film, and that in itself is a refreshing, invigorating act of resistance.In the following interview with Knox and Lane, recorded ahead of the films launch at the Queer Screen Mardi Gras Film Festival on Tuesday 18 February, where they both will be in attendance for a Q&A, we chat about the creation of the film, the choice of songs featured, and how that lived in feeling was created on screen. We close the chat by talking about what it means to be telling Canadian queer stories on screen right now.I had an absolute ball watching We Forgot to Break Up, lapping up the wicked guitar licks and band drama, all the while losing myself with the excellent performances. And that was just from watching it at home; so I can only imagine what the experience would be like to see it with a full audience.

In the early days of the new millenium Toronto was alive with new innovative music. This new indie music revolution was spearheaded by one band in particular: Broken Social Scene. And, now, almost 25 years after it began, they are the subject of a documentary. Stephen Chung's IT'S ALL GONNA BREAK unearths the intimate behind-the-scenes footage that shows the creation of Canada's indie-darlings of the early aughts, Broken Social Scene. Founding member and Toronto-indie-rock-darling Brendan Canning joins The Sound Affect to discuss the movie and the band's legacy.

Episode 029: Take a deep breath, fellow music lovers—no, seriously, BREATHE. After the chaos of election season and the general dumpster fire that's been the past few months, Six Picks Music Club is prescribing a much-needed audio chill pill. Join Geoff, Russ, and Dave as they guide you through a meditative journey from stress to serenity. We're starting with the zen mastery of Cat Stevens, the hypnotic grooves of Spoon, and the soulful tranquility of City and Colour to help lower those blood pressure numbers. Once we've achieved maximum chill, we'll gradually lift our spirits with the enlightened vibes of Ceschi, the soul-stirring guitar of Stevie Ray Vaughan, and the euphoric sounds of Broken Social Scene. Between deep breaths and meditation tips, the guys find time to contemplate the erasure of the future (heavy, man) and share what might be the greatest middle school insult ever recorded. Consider this episode your musical Xanax—minus the prescription and potential side effects.   Remember: inhale through the music, exhale through the bullsh!t. Namaste, f*ckers.   Apple Podcasts Instagram Spotify Playlist YouTube Playlist Official Site Listener Listens - Bug Club - Instagram

Toronto's indie rock sensation HotKid is back with a brand-new 4-track EP, "Downtown," set for release on October 4th, 2024 out on Fortune Stellar Records. The EP features both full-band and acoustic versions of the title track, as well as two additional guitar-driven songs, “Naked” and “All Time,” capturing the band's signature sound and versatility. The full-band tracks were recorded live off the floor at the National Music Centre's Studio Bell in Calgary, AB, using the renowned Trident console. This legendary piece of equipment has been instrumental in creating classic records by artists like David Bowie, Elton John, Queen, Rush, and Metallica. The historic studio environment, combined with exceptional acoustics and state-of-the-art gear, provided the perfect setting to capture the energy and vibrant performance. The session was engineered by Eric Cinnamon, ensuring that the recordings preserved the authentic, live feel of the band's sound. The acoustic version of "Downtown" was recorded live at the House of Miracles in Cambridge, ON, featuring Shiloh Harrison on guitar and vocals and Andrew DeVillers on baritone acoustic and vocals. Engineered and mixed by Andy Magoffin, who has worked with acclaimed artists like Great Lake Swimmers, Constantines, Attack in Black, and Feist, this stripped-down rendition highlights the emotive core and lyrical depth of the song. The Downtown EP also includes contributions from Jesse Bellon on guitar, Andrew DeVillers on bass, and Mike McKeever on drums. The EP was mixed by Shiloh Harrison and mastered by Noah Mintz at the Lacquer Channel in Toronto, ON. Mintz, known for his work with Broken Social Scene, The Tragically Hip, Sarah Harmer, and Daniel Caesar, added his signature polish to the recordings, giving the tracks a professional and cohesive finish.

Eigentlich heißt Chilly Gonzales, Jason Charles Beck, manche nennen ihn auch Gonzo – so wie er auch sein aktuelles Album getauft hat.1972 wird er in Montreal in den Schoß einer Familie geboren, dessen Mitglieder einst als aschkenasische Juden aus Ungarn geflohen waren.Sein älterer Bruder Christophe wird Filmkomponist. Chilly studiert erstmal Jazz-Piano in Montreal. Mitte/Ende der 90er veröffentlicht er zwei Alben mit der verspielten Rock-Band Son.Er ist zu dieser Zeit Teil eines Freundeskreises um die Musiker*innen Leslie Feist, Merrill Nisker alias Peaches und Dominic Salole alias Mocky. Mit denen und dem britischen Performer Jamie Lidell stürzt er sich in diverse Spielarten der Popmusik – von Elektro über Soul und Folk bis HipHop.Ab 1998 lebt er für fünf Jahre in Berlin, veröffentlicht über das damals äußerst angesagte Label Kitty-Yo seine ersten Platten. Mittlerweile umfasst sein eklektisches Schaffen über 20 Alben – darunter Kooperationen mit Boys Noize, Jarvis Cocker, Plastikman und Goldie Boutilier, sowie mehrere Werke mit klassischer Musik und Jazz.Kooperativ ist Chilly wie kein Zweiter. Man hört ihn an Keyboard, Orgel, Piano oder Percussion, als Songwriter oder Produzent auf Alben von Raz Ohara, Drake, Jane Birkin, Manu Chao, Broken Social Scene und Daft Punk.Mit Koteletten und Goldkette auf der behaarten Brust tritt Chilly gerne im Bademantel auf. Wie ein roter Faden durch sein Werk zieht sich sein herrlich exzentrischer, skurriler, ironischer Sinn für Humor. Damit sabotiert er mit Genuss die sonst so steifen Reglements des Klassik- und Jazz-Betriebs.Für die BBC, den WDR, Arte und Apple Music hat er Formate produziert, für unter anderem den Guardian, Vice und das Billboard Magazin hat er über Musik geschrieben. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

SUMMARYIn this first episode of Season 6, producer Andrew Whiteman invites listeners to step into an arena of collaboration between poetry and sound. We all know it when we hear it, and we have mixed feelings about it. Why does the archaic meeting place of music and poem hit such a nerve? Is this art form literature or is it music? Surely, it's not song, is it? And if poems already carry their prosodic intentions within themselves – why bother supplementing them with extraneous audio?" These questions are answered by Siren Recordings, a new digital-DIY sonic poetry label run by Kelly Baron and Andrew Whiteman.*SHOW NOTESAudio played in the episode“Happy Birthday Ed Sanders Thank You!”, written and performed by Edward Sanders ( from "This is the Age of Investigation Poetry and Every Citizen Must Investigate” part of the “Totally Corrupt Dial-a-Poem Series by John Giorno.

Dinosaur Jr. rose from the ashes of a teenage hardcore band looking to make some “Ear Bleeding Country.” They went on to become one of the most influential and interesting alternative rock bands of the 80's and 90's. The band went from underground to indie to major label to MTV, shedding a few original members along the way, and eventually broke up before reforming the og line-up in the mid 2000's to put out even more gorgeous records. Singer, songwriter, and Broken Social Scene member Kevin Drew joins us to navigate the long and storied path of Dinosaur Jr.  Follow Kevin Drew on instagram @kevinselection Listen to songs we detail in the episode HERE  Host: Yasi Salek Guest: Kevin Drew Producer: Jesse Miller-Gordon Audio Editor: Adrian Bridges Additional Production Supervision: Justin Sayles Theme Song: Bethany Cosentino Learn more about your ad choices.

This week's Talkhouse Podcast came together in a fun way, when a new-ish artist referenced the work of a more established band in a song, and the head of a legendary indie label thought they should meet. That sounds complicated, but don't worry I'll explain. Our guests are Claire Rousay and Kevin Drew. Kevin Drew is best known as one of the founders of Broken Social Scene, the influential Canadian band slash collective that's been around for 25 years now. The band has amassed an incredible catalog that broke out with 2002's unstoppable You Forgot It In People but all of its records reward a deep dive—as does the solo work that Drew has also released over the years. Last year he released a moving record about loss—among other things—called Aging, and as you'll hear in this conversation, he hopes to reignite Broken Social Scene for one more run that includes some of the collective's members that have gone on to big careers outside the band, like Leslie Feist and Emily Haines. I personally would love to see it. I imagine the other half of today's conversation, Claire Rousay, would as well. The impetus for this conversation is her song “Lover's Spit Plays in the Background.” In case you're not familiar with the aforementioned Broken Social Scene album, You Forgot It In People, it features a song called “Lover's Spit.” Rousay's song is from her fantastic new album Sentiment, just out on Thrill Jockey Records, on which she leans more into song structure than on past releases, which have been tagged “emo ambient.” Rousay uses found sounds, hazy atmospherics, and Auto-Tune to tell sometimes crushingly depressing stories in a way that somehow turns out gorgeous. Check out “Lover's Spit Plays in the Background” right here. This conversation ended up happening because Thrill Jockey's Bettina Richards reached out to Drew to let him know about the nod on Rousay's song, and the rest is history: As you'll hear, they connected pretty quickly, and they chat about blackout curtains, influential record labels, the death of Kevin's mom, and what Drew dubs Claire's “beautiful, vulnerable, shadowy womb/sleeping bag of a record.” Enjoy. 0:00 - Intro 2:29 - Start of the chat 4:49 - On Claire's unusual introduction to Broken Social Scene's music 9:24 - On music as a lifesaver 13:47 - On the future of Broken Social Scene 17:35 - On being jealous of your peers 21:42 - On blackout curtains 31:27 - On signing to Thrill Jockey 36:46 - On negativity and career expectations Thanks for listening to the Talkhouse Podcast, and thanks to Claire Rousay and Kevin Drew for chatting.

Belle and Sebastian produced a truly marvelous set of mournful yet sweet songs on If You're Feeling Sinister, a niche that they still loom over 30 years later. You might call it earnest, or even (and Matt might fight you) twee, but we call in New Sincerity. Matt and Tim talk the David Foster Wallace of it all then focus on some other breathtakingly vulnerable and poignant albums by artists in their feelings, Broken Social Scene's You Forgot it in People and Cat Powers' Moon Pix.

This week we are look at the indie Canadian electro pop duo, Metric, featuring Emily Haines and James Shaw also of Broken Social Scene. The two albums we will be reviewing are 2007's Grow Up and Blow Away and 2009's Fantasies. Interestingly, Grow Up and Blow Away was the band's 3rd record when it released in 2007, but it was recorded and shelved 7 years earlier. This makes for an interested contrast between that record and the fourth released record, Fantasties. The latter album is near perfect, and we absolutely loved it.For feedback, please email DownOnHighPodcast@gmail.com

Kevin Drew stops by the program to talk about the first records he bought, which were in some order: Beastie Boys, Madonna, Cowboy Junkies, and the Jesus and Mary Chain, making him the Doogie Howser of music appreciation. We also discuss his gorgeous new solo record “Aging,” and why authenticity is the most attractive quality, all on another episode of '24 Question Party People'.

In this episode, we get to meet Kevin Drew. Best known as the sort of de facto captain of indie rock superstars Broken Social Scene, Kevin has just put out his brand new solo album, Aging. In this chat, he and I discuss the album, and its myriad dark, deep, personal themes, as well as what led to its conception and its status as a very piano-led record (which isn't something we've previously associated much with his music). We touch upon Broken Social Scene, and their recent celebration of the 20th anniversary of their landmark record You Forgot it in People. We talk what those songs mean to him now, the music industry at large, and also the staggering glory of Emily Haines and "Anthems for a 17-Year-Old Girl". It's a lovely, very candid conversation, and I appreciate the warmth and kindness Kevin brought to our talk. Thank you for listening.

Originally, Kevin Drew set out to put together some songs, maybe even an album, of children's music, featuring songs about stuff like not being afraid of the dark. As he worked on the songs, however, he found that they pointed to some heavier issues, including love, loss, and the deterioration of his mother's body and mind. In this interview - and it is an interview despite Kevin wondering if it's actually a therapy session - we explore mental health, music, and why Kevin had to do this show once he heard it was called Depresh Mode.Thank you to all our listeners who support the show as monthly members of Maximum Fun.Check out our I'm Glad You're Here and Depresh Mode merchandise at the brand new merch website MaxFunStore.com!Hey, remember, you're part of Depresh Mode and we want to hear what you want to hear about.

Kevin Drew, a member of the Broken Social Scene, talks about his new solo album, Aging.

Broken Social Scene's co-founder Kevin Drew has just released his third solo record, “Aging” – a project all about love, loss and grief. Kevin joins Tom Power to reflect on his early days in Toronto, how he looks back on the success of Broken Social Scene, and what inspired him to dedicate an entire record to aging.

This month we're back in our current millenium with our favourite songs of 2005 including generous helpings of indie-rock, chamberpop, industrial, synthpop, prog-metal & hiphop. We've each chosen our 10 favourite songs of the year and sent them over to Colin's wife Helen, who put the playlists together and distributed them so we were each given a playlist of the 20 songs from the other two hosts, along with our own 10. We then ranked the playlists in order of preference and sent them back to Helen, who totalled up the points and worked out the order.She also joined us on the episode to read out the countdown, which we found out as we recorded so all reactions are genuine.Now, admittedly, in parts we're a little bit brutal to some of the songs in the list as we're three separate people with differing music tastes, but please remember that to be in this episode at all the songs have to have been in one of our top 10's of that year. Bands featured in this episode include (In alphabetical order, no spoilers here!) -And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead, Brendan Benson, The Bravery, Bright Eyes, Broken Social Scene, Clutch, Death Cab For Cutie, Editors, The Fall, Ben Folds, Gogol Bordello, Gojira, Imogen Heap, Malcolm Middleton, Nine Black Alps, Nine Inch Nails, Jim Noir, Opeth, Pernice Brothers, Porcupine Tree, Robyn, Shady Bard, The Spinto Band, Sufjan Stevens, Strapping Young Lad, Matt Sweeney & Bonny Prince Billy, Teenage Fanclub, VNV Nation, The Wedding Present, & Kanye West Ft Jay-Z.

So rather than them only being able to score as many points as our 10th favourite in the other list, the points in our own list were distributed as follows -1st place - 20 points2nd place - 18 points3rd place – 16 points4th place – 14 points5th place – 12 points6th place – 9 points7th place – 7 points8th place – 5 points9th place – 3 points10th place -1 pointHosts - Ian Clarke, Colin Jackson-Brown & Tracey BGuest starring Helen Jackson-Brown.Playlist compiling/distributing – Helen Jackson-BrownRecorded/Edited/Mixed/Original Music by Colin Jackson-Brown for We Dig PodcastsThanks to Peter Latimer for help with the scoring system.Say hello at www.facebook.com/wedigmusicpcast or tweet us at http://twitter.com/wedigmusicpcast or look at shiny pictures on Instagram at http://instagram.com/wedigmusicpcast Part of the We Made This podcast network. https://twitter.com/wmt_network You can also find all the We Dig Music & Free With This Months Issue episodes at www.wedigpodcasts.com

On this week's Talkhouse Podcast we have the pleasure of reuniting two intensely creative individuals who first worked together decades ago: Emily Haines and Olivier Assayas. Haines is, of course, the singer and primary songwriter for the band Metric, which she's been fronting for the past 20-plus years, and which sprang from the same fertile Canadian scene that gave the world Broken Social Scene and Stars, among many others—in fact, it's Haines' voice that you hear on Broken Social Scene's biggest (and I would argue best) song, “Anthems for a Seventeen-Year-Old Girl.” But her primary focus over the years has of course been Metric, which just released their ninth album of thought-provoking indie-rock anthems, Formentera II. It's a sequel to the excellent album they released exactly a year prior, and another collection of danceable, fantastic songs. Check out “Just the Once,” from Formentera II, which Haines describes as “regret disco.” So what does a catchy Canadian indie band have to do with a fearless French filmmaker like Olivier Assayas? A lot, as it turns out. Back when Assayas was prepping his 2004 film Clean, he needed a band to perform in a scene, and when he saw Metric, everything clicked: You can see the band perform their early hit “Dead Disco” in the movie, and Haines and Assayas hit it off after working together. Like Metric, Assayas has created an incredible body of work over the years, and done it—again like Metric—by following his own muse. His best-known films include Irma Vep, Clouds of Sils Maria, and 2016's Personal Shopper, for which he was proclaimed Best Director at the Cannes Film Festival. In a strange twist, he was asked to re-created Irma Vep as a TV series for HBO, which he did under the condition that he have total artistic freedom. That came out last year, and it's definitely worth checking out. These two get right into a great discussion about how they approach creating their art: Both rely on instinct rather than any desire for commercial success. They talk about the real Formentera—it's an island in Spain—versus the one Haines created for these albums. They touch on Haines' father, a well-known poet, and how that might have figured into her creative growth. Also, you'll learn from this chat that every piano has one great song in it. Enjoy.

It was perhaps inevitable that Emily Haines would become a writer/lyricist and musician; her dad (Paul Haynes), was a revered Avant Garde poet and musician. Emily formed her first band at age 15 (Edith's Mission) with school pal Amy Millan (STARS). She spent her University years in Vancouver (UBC) and Montreal (Concordia) before meeting James (Jimmy) Shaw in 1997 and forming the band that would become Metric. 2023 finds the group celebrating the 20th anniversary of their debut album 'Old World Underground, Where are You Now' and releasing their ninth full length LP, 'Formetera II'.

Feist is a singer/songwriter from Canada. She put out her first solo album in 1999. She's won 11 Juno awards, including two for Artist of the Year, and she has four Grammy nominations. She's also been a member of the band Broken Social Scene since 2001. In April 2023, Feist put out her sixth album, Multitudes.

The last couple of years have been pretty exciting for Zoon, aka Daniel Monkman. Daniel had two different albums shortlisted for the Polaris Music Prize, and they got to tour and open for Broken Social Scene. Daniel tells Tom about playing with Lee Ranaldo (Sonic Youth), how their new album felt like a chance to grieve the passing of their father, and the story behind their song “Dodem” from their new album “Bekka Ma'iingan.” Plus, Daniel Brooks, the renowned Canadian theater director, has died at 64. We revisit his and Tom's conversation.

The Rolling Stones, Broken Social Scene, LCD Soundsystem, Aerosmith, and other artists populate the musical memory of comedian Simon Gibson (Cannonball, Inside Jokes), whose father was a local musician in Portland, OR throughout Simon's early life.
