On this week's episode of Nattering With E, Eric swings into the studio to spin his own web of facts to determine who exactly is the best Spider-Man. Was it Tobey McGuire from 2002-2007, Andrew Garfield from 2012 - 2016 or the current Peter Parker, Tom Holland from 2017 onwards? We also have a new show announcement as Eric will be doing Yenta of Wrestling, looking at the Canadian Indie and Eastern US independent scenes.

Joining Canadian Musician Editor-in-Chief Mike Raine on the podcast this week is Vanessa Thomas, who was recently tapped to lead Sound Royalties' Canadian operation. Sound Royalties offers a unique royalty advance model for independent artists and small music companies. Vanessa is a respected Canadian industry expert with more than two decades of music industry experience, including six years running Canada's Songwriters Hall of Fame as part of her work with SOCAN. Canada provides notable funding for the arts, but advances can still often be limited and capped. This is not always in line with the rapidly changing financial needs of the artist. The working relationship between Thomas and Sound Royalties aims to provide more nimble options to existing funding solutions that can help to build a more robust music ecosystem in Canada.

Chris J. Young (University of Toronto) discusses how the Canadian independent video game maker scene has evolved thanks to such robust tools as the Unity Engine, as well as how Unity managed to become a silent giant in the video game industry thanks to its strong grip on the indie scene and mobile platforms.Video version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEp8g4y-cJkChris on social media: https://twitter.com/drchrisjyoung Link to study: https://tspace.library.utoronto.ca/bitstream/1807/89734/3/Young_Chris_J_201806_PhD_thesis.pdf Game Production Studies: https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/47043Syd Bolton collection at the U of T: https://collections.utm.utoronto.ca/collections/syd-bolton-collection

Canadian indie-pop band Stars makes almost orchestral pop that has the bonus quality of being danceable. They've also got a knack for vividly descriptive storytelling, built around the dueling vocals of singers Torquil Campbell and Amy Millan. Formed in the early 2000's, Stars has been “remarkably stable” over the years; they enjoy making one another laugh, they've written a play, and even fiction about themselves.  Their ninth studio album, From Capelton Hill, covers pandemic shock, explores memory – perhaps with a sepia tinge, and has a strong sense of place. Stars plays remotely for the Soundcheck Podcast. Stars plays a Bandcamp Live-streaming set at 5PM on May 27. Set list: “To Build a Fire”, “Capelton Hill”, "Patterns" Watch "To Build a Fire":

Landreth. Dubbed a “Canadian Cannibas Hero” by EXCLAIM, it's clear that Boy Golden has the perfect personality to be an artist.

It's been a rare thing for me to delve into dubstep and trap territory on my show, but I figured it was at least time to embrace some of these elements -- particularly with the new release from @gjonesbass. It's music that's as spastic as Tofino weather conditions eh? Plus, we'll dial up the random inspiration voiceovers and douse you in some solid four-on-the-floor. Because -- why not? 1:20:13 - Luchos is a dude who I met while hitchhiking from Whistler to Vancouver, while working on a segment for Episode 23 of the Frequency Horizon (https://soundcloud.com/frequencyhorizon/episode-23-whistler-adventure-hitchhike-up-badbadnotgood-interview-a-tribe-called-red-shoutout). We ended up talking about travel and what's it's like to work in the Canadian indie film industry. He ended up stopping by Tuff City Radio and camping by the waves.

Vanessa Marie Carter was born in White Rock, British Columbia and moved to Oakville, Ontario at the age of two. Most of her life has been dedicated to her love of the performing arts. She began dancing at the age of three and danced competitively until she was finished High School. At a young age, her love of dance and live performance led her into the world of Musical Theatre and soon after she began focusing most of her time on singing. She had a dedicated professional vocal coach and naturally fell into the country genre.By the age of twelve, Vanessa was a veteran of musical theatre, having already had the lead role in several local theatre productions. As a teen, she co- wrote and performed several songs with her best friend and sang wherever she could, including as a soloist at many company parties, weddings and other corporate functions. Her love for performing in front of an audience was developing rapidly. “I have a huge extended family…many of my cousins and uncles are incredibly talented folk and rock musicians and I grew up listening to them sing Johnny Cash, Neil Young and Pink Floyd around a camp fire. They have really inspired me to build a future in the music business…that's a goal I've have had for as long as I can remember.”In early 2011, Vanessa began working with a Canadian Indie record label and recorded four country songs out of Nashville, Tennessee, all of which are available today on iTunes. During the summer of 2011, Vanessa performed at a number of high profile events in the Toronto area, notably the Beaches International Jazz Festival and the Fairbanks Village Summerfest. It was at events like this where Vanessa developed her on-stage skills, as well as an insatiable appetite for live performance. In the fall of 2011, Vanessa was signed to a recording contract in Toronto and worked with a record label for 6 months, further developing her artistry. While working with such talented industry professionals, Vanessa's appreciation for quality country music heightened.“I remember liking country music before my friends thought it was ‘cool'. Thanks to crossover artists like Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood, country music has become a big player on top 40 radio. I am a huge Shania Twain fan for many reasons, but I always loved that she burst on the country music scene and really shook things up…that's something that I'll always aspire to do.” A very talented performer who is now equally focused on the craft of song writing, Vanessa continues to perform with her band and further develop her artistry and creative identity. She anticipates that her greatest accomplishment will be to ultimately gain the acceptance of industry professionals in the Country genre.
