Kylie Fox Returns to East Coast DNA! The burgeoning New Brunswick-based singer-songwriter Kylie Fox is back on East Coast DNA to share her second studio full-length album, Sequoia. Supported by ArtsNB, Music New Brunswick, and the Canada Council for the Arts, Sequoia is an 11-track album developed with her band and six-time ECMA-winning producer Daniel Ledwell (Jenn Grant, Fortunate Ones, The Good Lovelies). Deeply rooted in folk-Canadiana, Sequoia also delves into folk-rock and jazz-pop fusion, embodying a sound Fox describes as “70s Sesame Street meets Sharon Van Etten.” The album reflects on themes of gratitude, women's roles, relationships, and the environment, with inspiration drawn from a news story about firefighters saving a Sequoia tree. Kylie shares, “It resonated with me how severely nature and time have been taken for granted.” In songs like the title track, she explores personal realizations about how we sometimes neglect the most important aspects of life—echoing the sentiment of Joni Mitchell's Big Yellow Taxi. Sign up for Kylie Fox's newsletter at: kyliefox.com Join us on the podcast to hear Kylie discuss the stories behind Sequoia and her journey as a rising star in the Canadian folk scene!

Mia Kelly joins East Coast DNA for a chat about her new singles, album, how she got to this point and where she is headed next. The episode opens with a clip from the recent 'français' single release "Rideau tombe" and plays out with "Lone Dog", two new songs from her forthcoming sophomore album, To Be Clear, due October 4th. “This double single outlines abusive characters, partially fictional and also inspired by lived experience,” shares Mia. “They depict violent and manipulative patterns that often show up in abusive situations. The songs were born from the aftermath of a difficult situation that unfurled around me.” She recently wowed audiences at the Mariposa Folk Festival and Ottawa Bluesfest, joined The Franklin Electric on stage at Festival d'été de Québec, and is currently test-driving all her new music in BC. Mia has an amazing tour coming up this fall, including a run of dates with the Good Lovelies.

This episode of Reading with Your Kids features an interview with the one and only Raffi!  International children's recording artist Raffi returns to the show to celebrate his new album "Penny Penguin," which was inspired by his observations of birds like penguins. He enjoyed collaborating with the Good Lovelies on many songs, praising their strong work ethic and creativity. Music educator and author Frank Coates presented his debut children's book "There's Something in My Closet," about overcoming bedtime anxiety through positive affirmations. Both guests shared how they engage children through musical storytelling. Raffi described how songs can arise from specific emotions, while Frank uses rhythm, movement and percussion in interactive musical stories. Frank emphasizes being authentic and connecting with children, advising aspiring authors to remember what engaged them as kids. The host discussed how music stimulates brain development and how affirmations can boost children's confidence when delivered rhythmically. National recording artist Alaura Lovelight surprised listeners with a story of vulnerability from a school project, where students of various backgrounds shared hurtful things said to them. Her video aimed to show common humanity. The episode encouraged teaching kids to see past surface differences and value one another's experiences. Readers were invited to support the new works discussed and continue growing closer through shared reading. Click here to visit our website - www.readingwithyourkids.com

This month is the 30th anniversary of Nirvana's multi-platinum final album, “In Utero.” Released months before the death of lead singer Kurt Cobain, “In Utero” was the last musical statement from one of the biggest bands in the world at the time. The producer of the album was Steve Albini, who was sought out by Kurt himself as Nirvana wanted the record to be the opposite of their biggest album, “Nevermind.” Steve tells Tom about recording the album and reflects on his iconoclastic career as one of the most divisive producers in rock. Plus, Caroline Brooks of Good Lovelies calls in from a parking lot in Winnipeg to tell Tom about the group's brand new song, “Tip to Toe.”

From The Cat Came Back, Polly Wolly Doodle, We're Gonna Shine, to You Can Do It (If You Try), once you hear Fred's songs, you'll be singing along all day. Fred Penner has been the soundtrack to so many kids' lives and now those kids (myself included) are raising their kids on his music! His positivity and upbeat music is fun to listen to for those young and old. His songs are about encouragement, love, kindness, feelings and being positive. It was my sincere honour to interview Fred Penner for this episode. In this episode, we talk about his 13th album, Hear the Music, current tour, his views on the state of parenting and families today, raising his own kids, how he creates his music and the messages in his songs. It's the most wonderful conversation that I know you will enjoy as much as I did. It was the perfect way to celebrate my 150th episode of Parenting our Future! Fred's tour dates include May 28th and 29th at the Arts Theatre in Surrey with Charlotte Diamond and Rick Scott. May 30th to June 5th at the Vancouver Children's Festival on Granville Island, Vancouver. We talked about a previous episode of Parenting our Future, with Dr. Shimi Kang, “The Tech Solution” the link is below https://www.parentingforconnection.com/parentingourfuture/episode/cef039c6/the-tech-solution-with-dr-shimi-kang-or-pof62 For , you can download it from the Parent Toolbox. www.parent-toolbox.com About Fred Penner Fred Penner could be forgiven for wanting to hang up his guitar and just relax. As Canada's foremost family entertainer, the genial singer/songwriter really has nothing left to prove. Witness his 12 previous albums with their 10 JUNO Award nominations and three wins. See also Fred's 12 seasons (and nearly 950 episodes!) hosting the hit CBC TV show, Fred Penner's Place. There are also his performances alongside luminaries including (but not limited to) Gordon Lightfoot, Burton Cummings, Randy Bachman, Raffi, Sharon Lois & Bram and Buffy Sainte-Marie; his status as the first kid's performer to headline the Los Angeles Amphitheater; his honourary doctorates and his prestigious Member of the Order of Canada and Member of the Order of Manitoba. Oh, and let's not forget his winning turn as emcee of the cutting-edge 2015 Polaris Music Prize or his altruistic, globe-trotting work as an Ambassador for World Vision. All fabulous and notable. But at the end of the day, Fred loves making music and connecting with audiences of all ages. And so, despite a resume as long as it is glittery, Fred Penner is set to return with lucky album number 13, Hear The Music. Hear The Music features a roll call of marquee Canadian talent including (but not limited to) Ron Sexsmith, Alex Cuba, Basia Bulat, The Good Lovelies, Terra Lightfoot, Afie Jurvanen (a.k.a Bahamas) plus backup vocals from Fred's own family, all tethered to the sterling production of long-time collaborator Ken Whiteley. Says Fred: “Hear The Music brings me together again with my dear friend, producer Ken Whiteley, who so lovingly guided me through the process of making this album. I am honoured to have worked with him and the wealth of passionate, talented musicians who provided their creativity and support on this exciting project!” With 14 songs played by an acclaimed roster of musicians (jazz bassist George Koller, saxophonist Mike Murley) and with Fred himself on guitar, ukulele, harmonica, flute and jawharp, Hear The Music truly has something for everyone.

Welcome back to the Graventown tree, acorns! Today on the show I was lucky and grateful to speak with Caroline Marie Brooks. Caroline Marie Brooks is a musical  storyteller, and her new record "Everything at the Same Time" (produced by Jim Bryson) is the first solo outing from ⅓ of the Canadian harmony trio Good Lovelies. Brooks walks the listener through a wall of stories, taking moments from her life down and carefully recounting the feeling of the sun and the wind in the trees from days past and present.  Over 11 tracks, Brooks leads a vivid journey through feelings familiar to our hearts. Gentle guitar work laying a backdrop for Brooks' sweetly divine vocals, densely layered with wurlitzers and mandolins and steel guitars to evoke feelings of memories both lost and found. Lead single “Vitamin” evokes a sun-drenched nostalgia, albeit a nostalgia happening right in front of you, one that you can live in and hold onto. Even at the end of the record, with a cover of Roger Miller's classic “Oo-De-Lally” (from Disney's Robin Hood), Caroline Marie Brooks has crafted an album that feels wholly familiar and distinctly her own - an instant classic waiting to be discovered and have its stories told.  Catch up with Caroline and her upcoming tour dates on her website. It was a lovely conversation about music, life on the road, parenting and much more.And hey O-towners  - Catch me live with the full band at the Dominion Tavern this Saturday March 26 with the mega-talented Eamon McGrath and at Rachel's driveway in late May to kickoff yard-show season!

Well here we are - the final episode of 2021 and our very first Christmas Special! In this episode I am excited to share two conversations with you. My first is with JUNO Award winning Singer/Songwriter Catherine MacLellan. On November 26th 2021, Catherine released her debut Christmas EP - “Holiday”. Consisting of 3 beautiful renditions of holiday classics and 1 original Christmas song that Catherine wrote during the winter of 2020, we talk about why this was the time to record and release her first Holiday project, a collection of songs she self-engineered and self-produced. We get into the production timeline for the music and accompanying marketing material when putting the holiday project together in order to have successful Holiday release, what being a JUNO award winner has done for her musical career, and why nearly 55 years later, Catherine and her family are re-releasing her father - Gene MacLellan's debut record.After that, I will be joined by the JUNO Award winning trio - Good Lovelies, for an incredibly fun conversation that includes discussions about their annual Christmas tour which includes as stop at the newly renovated and recently reopened Massey Hall, the secret to writing an original Christmas song - of which they've written many - and some holiday traditions they look forward to every. It's a great way to cap off a wonderful year for the podcast.If you have music you would like us to hear, or have a great release day rollout plan you want the world to know about, send an email with your EPK and release plan to: contactreleaseday@gmail.comThank you so much for listening, and Welcome to Release Day!Theme music composed by Evan Denley.Reference Links:Catherine MacLellan website - https://www.catherinemaclellan.com/Gene MacLellan website - http://genemaclellan.com/Good Lovelies Website - https://goodlovelies.com/Decolonial Clothing - https://decolonialclothingco.ca/Release Day Spotify Playlist - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0GbiC5YorhQObK1n3FndhJ?si=l0sbbP1ARnaWaDbFRVzpEwRelease Day Website - https://releasedayseries.com/"Release Day," an ongoing series where we sit down with Canadian musicians of all genres to discuss their latest releases from singles to albums, and their strategy behind releasing it to the world.https://releasedayseries.com/https://twitter.com/ReleasedaySrshttps://www.instagram.com/releaseday_series/

SUPPORT THIS PODCAST: CLICK HERECaroline Marie Brooks is a singer songwriter and 1/3 of the Juno-winning band Good Lovelies. We dig into her life in music and her fantastic new solo album Everything At The Same Time. She describes how she's been wanting to make a record of very personal music for a long time and that making this album was in a way an act of self-care. We talk about her life with Good Lovelies and how she sees her doing a solo album as being “lifted by”, as opposed to “stepping out from”. She also looks back on her experience touring as a new mother and describes how touring with a young baby can be extremely taxing but also gratifying. We nerd out about guitar playing and alternate tunings which she explains was her father's influence. She reflects on insights she's gained in her 40th year and how they've informed her new album."Mortality plays a big role in the songs I've been writing and thinking about a lot in relation to my own parents and my children and that continuum. My grandmother is 92. On my 40th birthday, we had this big party and it was my family and my grandmother was there and my daughter and we took this family photo with four generations. And I just thought about that line and where I am in it and my mother and thinking of my mother at my age. And then thinking about my grandmother at my age. And then what my daughter will be like at my age. And all those things feeding into each other. So, yeah, 40 feels like a milestone in that it marks a very specific time of my life. And now that I made this record, I specifically will always feel like I've captured that time."---SUPPORT THIS PODCAST: CLICK HERE---CAROLINE MARIE BROOKSWEBSITEBANDCAMPINSTAGRAM---AND SOMETIMES ...

LA native Diana Wright is a writer among other things, a fantastic one to boot, who's work you can hear/read in such popular mobile games as Star Trek: Fleet Command and The Simpsons: Tapped Out aka made-for-mobile iterations of my childhood.. wonderful! With a background in improv and sketch comedy, my guest's more recent contribution to Frequency 101 (the audio only version of Channel 101) was a kick-ass show she co-created with Annie Girard, called CAVEMAN COVE. - - - I regret not exploring my fascination with writing and the 'writer's room' more in the past, having had all kinds of splendid writers on this podcast before. It is a newer fascination of mine and Diana was kind enough to take me on my first mega journey into it. Most importantly we get to know Diana, growing up, becoming a writer and how she and her (also a writer) husband are doing work-wise, during such things as a.. y'know... pandemic. This episode features some sweet Kitchener-Waterloo & Toronto indie rock and a full episode of Caveman Cove!

SUPPORT THIS PODCAST: CLICK HEREJen Ochej is a tour manager for touring music artists including Lights, Jessie Reyez and The Good Lovelies. She gives us a behind the scenes peek at her tour experience from van tours in clubs to festivals & amphitheaters. We talk about how she got her start tour managing, the power of persistence and  how she deals with unforeseens by planning meticulously knowing that nothing will go according to plan. She tells tales of waking up on a broken down tour bus stranded in the Rocky Mountains half an hour before soundcheck hours away, finding fill-in musicians with less than 24 hrs notice and flagging down the headlining act's tour bus to escape a California wildfire on a day off. She also shares tour hacks like day-off lone Target trips and the importance of green room snacks. "Live music, touring, tour management: It's what makes my heart sing. It makes my eyes light up. It's the thing. Maybe you loaded in at nine in the morning and your band doesn't go on stage until nine o'clock at night. You've already worked 12 hours. And that moment when they walk out and the lights come up, the whole room, just roars. I'm getting goosebumps now, remembering those moments ... like that feeling. We made that happen. We pulled it off again and we get to do it again tomorrow. And again the next day. And again the day after that. (And then hopefully a day off) But then again the day after that. You're creating those moments for all of those people in the crowd. But it's also a moment for you. I guess I do it for that moment. That one moment when the band walks out and the room just explodes."---SUPPORT THIS PODCAST: CLICK HERE---JEN OCHEJ WEB https://www.jenochej.com IG https://www.instagram.com/jenochej--- AND SOMETIMES ...

Adam and Tim have a top notch chat with talented Canadian singer and songwriter Caroline Brooks, one third of the Juno award winning group The Good Lovelies. We discuss songwriting techniques, being a parent who tours, women in production and more! What can we say, she's awesome, and we're glad she was able to really class up our podcast with her experience and insights. http://carolinebrooks.ca https://goodlovelies.com https://www.youtube.com/user/TheGoodLovelies

Kerri Ough is a musician, writer, photographer, artist & self proclaimed archivist. She is 1/3 of the Juno-winning band The Good Lovelies. We talk about her life in music, how she’s been writing morning pages every day for over 20 years (to “get the goo out”) and how she’s been connecting with people through her group colouring project over the lockdown. We bond over mutual love of Derek Sivers’ ideas & discuss how journaling helps her discover meaningful change she wants in her life. “I like that exercise of writing down why I’m doing it, what’s hard about it, what’s hard about the other path I’m not taking. I also don’t think it has to be either or. I think The Good Lovelies right now, I think we could make a really good decision to do a certain amount of touring and then still; Caroline can put out a solo project, Sue, she wants to do a podcast too and I think we can do it and make room. We’ve made room for kids, we’ve made room for when I moved to Newfoundland for 6 years. We make room for the things that  each of us want. So, my dream was to be a rockstar and/or a folk musician (in Canada and beyond…) and I also like to draw and I like to write and there’s more. I don’t think it has to be that I’m going to be a touring musician or I’m going to be something else. I think I can be a touring musician and I can also be a great aunt. Just checking in that it still is in line with my values. I don’t need us to be super famous. I like the people we reached on the weekend. I like the people we reach when we go to Australia and Alaska and Germany and everywhere in Canada and the US … and that’s enough. That’s enough for me.“ --- SUPPORT THIS PODCAST: https://bit.ly/aswKO-FI--- KERRI OUGH WEB: http://www.kerriough.com WEB: https://goodlovelies.com IG: https://www.instagram.com/kerriough MUSIC - SPOTIFY PLAYLIST:  https://spoti.fi/3dahQtR--- THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY: Eddie Orso's Album “Foreign Flowers” Get 20% off with discount code: szabo HERE: https://bit.ly/eddieorso--- AND SOMETIMES ...

ourpnwmusic.comWe talked with Sue Passmore of the Good Lovelies. They will be in Mount Vernon at the Lincoln Theater on May 2nd.We played the songs:Crabbuckit - written by Kevin Brereton, known as the artist k-osKiss Me in the Kitchen - Sue Passmore wrote for their album Let the Rain FallI See Gold Caroline Brooks brought the song to the group with co-writer Robyn Dell'Unto.Whiskey - A song from their first album; 2007's Oh My!Last Night - From their Burn The Plan album written by Kerri Ough.From https://goodlovelies.comKerri Ough, Sue Passmore, and Caroline Brooks – immensely talented vocalists and songwriters in their own right; however, it's their voices interwoven in harmony – powerful and pure, organic and inspiring – that elevates the Good Lovelies from impressive to peerless.Over the course of their decade-plus career, they've covered plenty of stylistic ground, adding tinges of pop, roots, jazz, and even hip-hop to their country folk core at various points.The trio first united in 2006 for a one-off performance and has since compiled a catalogue of four studio albums, a pair of EPs, a live album, and Christmas collection. Through it all, the unmistakable sound of their intertwined voices has been the sonic anchor, and that remains true as the Good Lovelies now look to push further into the mainstream with their most accessible and pop-influenced output to date.Their upcoming collection offers a perfect balance between a more modern production style and the wholesome musical influences that have made them a household name over the years. What's more, the songs themselves build on the Good Lovelies' familiar foundation with a widespread appeal.Website- https://goodlovelies.comFacebook- https://www.facebook.com/goodlovelies/Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/goodlovelies/

"If you want to make something that's like nothing you've made before, then you have to shake yourself up, go beyond whats comfortable and known and let yourself feel disoriented, overwhelmed, even intimidated. Those moments, when you lose your bearings or where you're forced to sink or swim, and the moments when you have an opportunity to rise to the occasion, to surprise yourself, to do the things you didn't know you could do. That's what making this album was for me, I'm so proud of the process, and I'm so proud of the result.” - Peter Katz This week I'm really excited to bring you an interview that I did with my friend and singer-songwriter Peter Katz! Over the past decade, Peter's seen his albums debut at number one on the iTunes singer-songwriter charts. He has shared the stage and studio with the likes of Academy Award winner Glen Hansard, Juno Award winners, The Good Lovelies, Polaris Prize nominated Melissa McClelland, and the legendary Garth Hudson from the Band. He has toured all over the world playing regularly to capacity crowds and has managed to build an impressive fan base of loyal listeners. The London Free Press describe one of his concerts as "try listening without getting goosebumps." In this conversation, we talk about creativity, learning, pushing through, even though you may not necessarily feel like it. I think there are some tremendous insights here that can benefit everybody. Enjoy! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/dr-greg-wells/support

Jessie T, an accomplished singer/songwriter, pop, rock & country artist from Waterloo Region and judge on music competition show The Shot.. just happens to also be a good friend of mine, and yes, I’m kinda bragging. But the reason we’re friends is because of who we are as people, and genuine care, and it’s all over this episode, at a very un-nerving and stressful time of year. We centered ourselves with a long friends-only chat, at Descendants Brewery in Kitchener, then I turned the mic’s on.

We're thrilled to have both The Good Lovelies and Delaney Jane on this week's pod! Heralded folk/harmony trio The Good Lovelies just dropped their second Christmas collection, Evergreen, and are now set to embark on their annual holiday tour. We catch up with Sue Passmore to talk about the evolution of their acclaimed holiday show, the art of writing a quality contemporary Christmas tune, their Good Lovelies Forest initiative, and more. Then, the same morning that her debut LP, Dirty Pretty Things, dropped, Mike sat down with platinum-selling alt-pop singer/songwriter Delaney Jane. She discusses her journey from Toronto art school student to in-demand songwriter and rising pop star, recounts a chance meeting with a new neighbour that led to a very fruitful artistic partnership and high-profile writing gigs, and how that launched her career as a fully-independent artist. http://canadianmusician.com

Tessa goes back almost to the beginning with me, I almost feel like we’re related.. so as out-of-touch as we are these days, we can easily drift back into the comfort zone conversationally, without any effort. In the time we’ve known each other alone, Tessa’s musical gift has been poured into her own singer/songwriter stuff, but bands Red Balloon, The Short Films, other types of creative projects, she’s been a local advocate, run for City Council, appears in the local tv show project Kitchener Sync, and more recently has birthed an initiative/event called Waterloo Region Crossing, which is a series of endurance events that raise awareness about pressing local issues… she almost, never, stops, which is her life-long endurance run, to live and give. Fuck. Enjoy! // Featuring a live performance by the guest, as well as music by Glenna Garramone, The Good Lovelies, Mike Erb Trio, as well as out-of-towners, Mansionair. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/todddonaldshow/message

We've got a diverse trio of artist interviews this week, including a feature chat with Marianas Trench's Matt Webb and Mike Ayley. Over the last 12-plus years, Marianas Trench have amassed one of the most diehard fan bases in the country, and their shows have become arena-sized pop rock spectacles based around a unique blend theatricality, pop hooks, charisma, and top-level musicianship. The guys are gearing up for the release of their fifth album, Phantoms, and corresponding Canadian tour. We touch on a wide array of topics like the new album's concept, forming a personal connection with fans, touring now that they have families, bringing frontman Josh Ramsay's musical ideas to life, and more. As well, for those who didn't catch the CM Live sessions on Facebook, we're also sharing Mike's interviews with Alex Cuba and the Good Lovelies from the 2019 edition of Folk Alliance International in Montreal.

Most of us can feel the shift that’s occurring - a change in consciousness, some would even call it an awakening. Many people the world over have discussed the concept of the “divine feminine” rising. And at the same time, many of us are going through personal transitions and changes while feeling anxious about what’s to come. Your host and Women’s Empowerment Specialist, Kelly Hickey, talks about the BIG changes and shifts occurring in the macro (world) and micro (you) levels while reminding us that all we are going through is for the greater good, towards the common yet subconscious goal of evolution. It’s truly an exciting time to be alive! This pod’s feature song is one of our absolute faves! “I See Gold’ by the Good Lovelies https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwtBpBRv5DA "You don't get more than you can take But when it breaks me, I see Gold in the shadows Flicker in the night There's a change comin' Everything's gonna be alright"

It's blustery and cold out there, so why don't you listen in and let host Kailey Jane Hawkins warm you up with some great tunes made in and played in Grey and Bruce counties?

Caroline Brooks, Kerri Ough y Sue Passmore forman el trío canadiense The Good Lovelies.  Se unieron en 2006 a raíz de un concierto navideño en Toronto.  Muchos críticos musicales en su país, Canadá, coinciden en que The Good Lovelies es mucho más que la suma perfecta de sus partes. Ese sonido trabajado y bien estudiado les ha valido varios reconocimientos a lo largo de los años. Aunque desde un principio se instalaron en el apartado de música folk, lo cierto es que con el tiempo han ido añadiendo a sus composiciones tintes de pop, jazz e incluso hip hop.     Escuchar audio

Whether it’s on stage, in the studio, or behind the scenes, Winnipeg super bassist MJ Dandeneau is one of the hardest working artists on Canada’s Indigenous music scene. In addition to touring with the likes of Xavier Rudd, The Good Lovelies, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Leela Gilday and Digging Roots, she’s also a successful producer/engineer, booking agent and tour manager.

Hello all and welcome to episode 3 of series 3! I am super excited about this one as it features two of my favourite creatives EVER; guest co-host Luisa Brimble and all the way from the US, food writer Julia Turshen! Luisa and I talk about creativity, art, collaboration and her five favourite books while I chat with Julia about her new book Feed the Resistance, Instagram, getting involved and what she’s cooking these days. Plus all the usual recommendations, links and such. Boom pow.  Big thank you to our series sponsor Country Style magazine, if you haven’t yet picked up a copy of the latest issue - please do, it’s, as always, just beautiful and full of inspiration. Thank you also to the Good Lovelies, one of my favourite groups ever, for giving us permission to use snippets of your beautiful song the Old Highway throughout this episode. Please check out the full song and the rest of the album and grab a copy - excellent sunny Saturday morning in the kitchen music.  Here below are some of the things we mentioned in this episode Julia’s wonderful new book Feed the Resistance  Julia’s favourite cookbook Taste of Country Cooking by Edna Lewis Wild cookbook, free shipping for Christmas  Julia’s favourite IG follow these days; actress and singer Cynthia Erivo Hetty McKinnon’s books photographed by Luisa Brimble Sophie’s Top 5  #thetravellingfoodband; Some of my all time favourite photographers and foods stylists got together for a few days in Berlin to create content together. I love that idea and think we should all do more of it. Just grab a group of creative buddies, pool talents, spend an afternoon or weekend together creating lovely things/scenes/foods/images. Doterra oils ;I am a recent convert to the world of essential oils; I love burning peppermint and wild orange while I work, I rub lavender on my kids feet at bedtime and swear that puts them out like a light, or it could be the foot massage! I use the peppermint in an icing the other day and so on. Just love them. Contact Sheets; A bit of an odd thing to recommend here but I have just bitten the bullet and bought Creative Cloud so I can get organised for my new book - eek - and am LOVING how photoshop lets you create contact sheets of your images. I’ve printed out what I’ve done so far so I can easily track how it’s all coming together (or not). Co-schedule blog; An absolute mine of information - not cheap but the blog is full of updates on good times to post what on what platform. Great for bloggers. Spotify Playlists; Everything will be ok and a gift-wrapping playlist from Anthropologie  Luisa’s Top 5 (current favourite publications) Todd Henry, Die Empty John Berger, Ways of Seeing Hello Sandwich, Tokyo Guide Julie Pointer Adams, Wabi Sabi Welcome Henri Cartier-Bresson Interviews and Conversations 1951-1998

The Good Lovelies provide some much-needed sunshine in these winter months with the release of their third long-player, Let the Rain Fall. The Toronto-based trio mixes elements of folk, bluegrass and swing and tops it off with delectable harmonies that bring to mind the Andrews and McGuire Sisters, groups of a forgotten era. Icon Fetch talks to one-third of the band, Sue Passmore, about their (mostly) positive songs, why they often switch instruments on stage, and their decision to cover a rap song on the new record.

There’s some great music in and around Winnipeg these days, including the Jim Bryson & The Weakerthans show in Falcon Lake. We’re off to that tonight, so the live portion of the show is only an hour long. It features new and notable tunes, and music from some of the many talented musicians who have put on shows recently, or will do so this week. Hour two is a pre-recorded hour of "forgotten gems," where we dig back into the vault to pull out favourites that we haven’t heard in a while, from artists that we don’t hear often enough. Sadly, the technology let us down, so the second hour did not air live. It lives on in podcast form, and we’ll try to slip it on air some time soon.

We're on a roll with great guests as of late, and this week is certainly no exception. First up, a chat with probably the most important songwriter in my life, Ron Hawkins of The Lowest of the Low. He's coming to town opening up for Billy Bragg, and he's got a heck of a great new album to play for us, so we'll chat about the past, present, and future. As if that weren't enough, joining us live in studio is a band we'd never tell to go home, Sunparlour Players. They are without a doubt one of this country's best live acts, and it won't be long before they get the huge following they so rightly deserve. This week we'll prove that we knew them "back when..."

Kevin McGowan's top music picks from last year. www.rabble.ca/podcasts/shows/theruckus. Allison Crowe, with the song Angels. Prudent Nsengiyumva takes us to Rwanda's first school for the deaf to meet a student who is changing her life by studying there. Norman Finklestein is an indendent academic. He writes on Israeli-Palestinian issues. His speech is called Resolving the Israel-Palestine Conflict: What we can learn from Ghandi. At one of his lectures he was asked to compare Barack Obama with Ghandi, which is when he told everyone that they should not believe the hype. His vociferous response was recorded from the crowd. Keith Gottschalk might love Obama, but he's been distracted. He'll tell you all about it. The Good Lovelies, with a song from their self-titled album. The song is Cheek to Cheek.
