Podcast appearances and mentions of jay mccarrol

On this week's Talkhouse Podcast, we've got a pair of old friends who dive right in on some light-hearted topics like death and aging: Amy Millan and Kevin Drew. Both Amy and Kevin are deeply connected to the Canadian indie scene that took shape in the late 1990s around Broken Social Scene. That band was initially Kevin's baby, but a whole constellation seemed to spring from it, including Metric, Feist, and the band that Amy is most closely associated with, Stars. The impetus for today's conversation, though, is Millan's gorgeous new solo album, I Went to Find You. It's her first in 15 years, and as you'll hear in this conversation, was inspired by stirred-up feelings about the death of her father when she was just a little kid. Millan created the album with a musician she only met recently, Jay McCarrol, after a chance encounter with him that stirred up some dormant emotions about her childhood. It's a really beautiful and quietly triumphant record that's worth some time and attention in your headphones. Check out “Kiss That Summer” right here. Kevin Drew directed that great video for that song, and he's got bona fides when it comes to writing songs about difficult subjects, too: His latest solo album, Aging, came out in 2023, and you might be able to guess what it's about from that title. It's a topic that Kevin and Amy get into here as they get deep and sweet together—they were even a little worried they'd forget they were being recorded since they're such close friends. They talk about Amy's record but also, perhaps for the first time on Talkhouse, perimenopause. There's also memories of Hal Willner, a great name for Amy's tour that she didn't end up using, and living in your “who gives a fuck” years. Enjoy.

In this chat, we get to meet Amy Millan. Amy is best known as co-bandleader of the Canadian band Stars, as well as her side gig as a member of Broken Social Scene. But now, she has a brand new solo record out - her third, in fact, and first since 2009 - called I Went to Find You. In this conversation, we talk a lot about this new record, from its thematic inspirations to its initiation, from the close collaboration she found with co-songwriter and co-producer Jay McCarrol to what it means for her to back in a solo capacity after all these years. We do, of course, talk about Stars, especially their 2004 album Set Yourself on Fire, whose 20th birthday the band is still celebrating. We touch on what that album means to her now, to us the listeners now, some band lore, and more. It's been many years in the making, this conversation, and I'm thrilled it finally happened. Thank you for listening.

Amy Millan is back with her first solo album in 16 years, I Went To Find You, out May 30th. She sits down with Lana to talk about the serendipitous meeting with collaborator Jay McCarrol, how some of the most sonic secret weapons are closest to home, and the incredibly moving true meaning behind the album title.

Season Finale! Comedians and friends Matt Johnson and Jay McCarrol are here to discuss Grizzly Man and other Werner Herzog films... then Finn and Billy create a new Tom Hiddleston/Sean Penn vehicle.

Dwarven Moss started when D&D expert Tom Hodgins wanted to ignite an old passion of his by playing some D&D, so he recruited his friends, comedian Kris Siddiqi, and musician Jay McCarrol to play their very first official campaign. Jay, having a studio already setup in his dungeon suggested that they record their game as a kind of personal keepsake for the group. Upon listening back they slowly started adding post production effects and original music to pad the story and before they knew it things had spiraled and out of control taking on a life of its own - Dwarven Moss was born. Dwarven Moss produces a unique listening experience unlike other actual-play D&D podcasts. The journey captures their fun and improvised collective storytelling along the way, in real time The end result is like an old fashioned radio play.

For this episode I had a chat with DIY filmmaker Matt Johnson. Matt has found critical acclaim with his 2013 film The Dirties, a found-footage mockumentary film tackling the much discussed topic of gun control and bullying in a high school, which went on to win the Grand Jury Prize at the Slamdance Film Festival. His following film Operation Avalanche saw him and his team infiltrate NASA to shoot another found footage project based around the topic of the Apollo 11 moon landings. Were the moon landings fake? Watch the film AND YOU DECIDE. But most recently, he has co-written and starred in the Vice comedy series Nirvanna The Band The Show with Jay McCarrol, where he plays a helpless musician, possibly with a large chip in his brain coming up with plans and schemes to play at his favourite restaurant. Sit back to our chat with a martini and steak bake... For more updates follow the podcast on Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/thecupodcast/
