In this Chats on the Road to RSAC 2025, , Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli connect with Tim Brown, Chief Information Security Officer at SolarWinds, to unpack the critical issues facing CISOs today—and why the role remains worth pursuing.Brown is participating in multiple sessions at RSAC Conference 2025, including the CISO Bootcamp and Cyber Leaders Forum. Both are closed-door conversations designed to surface real concerns in a confidential, supportive setting. These aren't theoretical discussions—they're rooted in hard-earned experience. Brown, who has faced high-profile scrutiny and legal fallout from a past incident at SolarWinds, brings a uniquely personal perspective to these sessions.He points out that fear and hesitation are keeping many deputy CISOs from stepping up into the top role. His message to them: don't be afraid of the position. Despite the weight of responsibility, the role offers real influence, the ability to shape enterprise architecture, and the opportunity to drive meaningful business decisions. Brown emphasizes the importance of community support and collective growth, noting that the cybersecurity industry—still relatively young—is maturing and finding its footing when it comes to accountability and resilience.Beyond leadership development, mental health and stress management are key themes in the Cyber Leaders Forum. Brown acknowledges the toll the job can take, even sharing that his own health suffered despite thinking he was managing stress well. This honest reflection opens the door for deeper conversations about personal well-being in high-pressure roles.He's also appearing at the Cloud Security Alliance Summit with Chris Hoff, Chief Security Officer at LastPass, where they'll discuss incident response and field questions from the audience. On Wednesday, Brown joins a breakfast session with Tactic and Hyperwise, guiding attendees through a crisis simulation based on lessons from the Sunburst attack. His focus? Helping others avoid being unprepared in a moment of chaos.From insider threat modeling to supply chain transparency and the challenges of monitoring runtime behavior, Brown is clear-eyed about where CISOs need to focus next.This episode isn't just a preview of conference sessions—it's a call to future security leaders to lean in, not back.___________Guest: Tim Brown, CISO, Solarwinds | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tim-brown-ciso/Hosts:Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine | Website: https://www.seanmartin.comMarco Ciappelli, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine | Website: https://www.marcociappelli.com___________Episode SponsorsThreatLocker: https://itspm.ag/threatlocker-r974Akamai: https://itspm.ag/akamailbwcBlackCloak: https://itspm.ag/itspbcwebSandboxAQ: https://itspm.ag/sandboxaq-j2enArcher: https://itspm.ag/rsaarchwebDropzone AI: https://itspm.ag/dropzoneai-641ISACA: https://itspm.ag/isaca-96808ObjectFirst: https://itspm.ag/object-first-2gjlEdera: https://itspm.ag/edera-434868___________ResourcesRSAC Session: CLF Ask Me Anything Session with Tim Brown, CISO, SolarWinds: https://path.rsaconference.com/flow/rsac/us25/FullAgenda/page/catalog/session/1739404173721001x1MHRSAC Session: CISO Boot Camp Exclusive Fireside Chat with Tim Brown, CISO, SolarWinds: https://path.rsaconference.com/flow/rsac/us25/FullAgenda/page/catalog/session/1739403254724001isXhCSA Summit at RSAC 2025: Fireside Chat with Tim Brown and Chris Hoff: https://www.csasummitrsac.com/event/5b3547c2-c652-4f77-97de-5b094e746626/agenda?session=1452408b-c822-4664-87b8-38ce1276247bLearn more and catch more stories from RSA Conference 2025 coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/rsa-conference-usa-2025-rsac-san-francisco-usa-cybersecurity-event-infosec-conference-coverageCatch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-and-cybersecurity-conference-coverageWant to tell your Brand Story Briefing as part of our event coverage?

What a great way to start off the new year! Jumping right in with this excellent mix from friend of the show, Andy McNeill. Andy records as Maple Mountain Sunburst and he released a wonderful album last year - https://maplemountainsunburst.bandcamp.com/album/ecstatic He also did a guest mix for us last year which you can find here - Mixcloud & Low Light Mixes Blog. My favorite discovery in this mix is the third track, "My Dog's Eyes" by Zammuto. I am blown away each time I hear it. One of my favorite track of 2024 is also included in the mix - Andy's own "Pop-a-matic." So good! The rest of the mix a great as well. Here's what Andy says about his latest creation: "Cycles, patterns and joy in repetition. I'll paraphrase redditer Waves_of_awesome who said strongly repetitive music has the ability to transport the listener to a meditative state. “… repeating passages echo like a mantra, almost hypnotizing you”. It's a fundamental yet unpremeditated element in my musical endeavours. A lot of different genres represented here — not really intentionally, I just wanted to include some favourites and influential tracks. But wait where's O Superman? It's Gonna Rain? I guess we'll have to do a part two. I hope you all enjoy the journey." - Andy >>>Links to all the music used in this mix

I fell in love with the music of Andy McNeill, who records as Maple Mountain Sunburst, back in 2010 with the release of the album The Maple Mountain Sunburst Triolian Orchestra. Combining a wide variety of instrumentation, electronics, loops and samples to create a unique album and listening experience. The album was one of my favorites of 2010. When I found out that, after a long hiatus, there was new album this year, I was totally hyped. The new recording, Ecstatic, is everything I'd hoped for. Described by Andy as “Instrumental electronic ambient with loops and chopped samples, old keyboards, guitars, and found voices. The vibe is heartwarming, blissed-out, and euphoric; a balm for turbulent times.” You can find the album here - https://maplemountainsunburst.bandcamp.com/album/ecstatic I was so excited by the new music that I asked Andy to create a mix. He graciously agreed and created multiple mixes. So awesome! This is the first one and it is excellent. I can't stop listening to it. Here's what Andy says abut this mix: "I could say this playlist is about transcendence and something about the physical and spiritual journeys we might take to get there. Or I could just say these are tracks that bring me joy. Some old favourites, some new. I've tried to weave my own material through here in a desperate but determined effort to rise to the level of wonder and beauty in these artists' work."

A New York federal district judge handed down a significant decision dismissing much of the SEC's securities fraud enforcement action against SolarWinds arising from its claims relating to SolarWinds' cybersecurity policies and disclosure of a significant cyberattack against the SolarWinds' network. In this episode of Corruption, Crime, and Compliance, Michael Volkov discusses the significant dismissal of most of the SEC's securities fraud claims against SolarWinds by a New York federal district court. The case highlights the ongoing challenges in balancing cybersecurity disclosures with regulatory requirements, and the implications this ruling might have for future SEC enforcement actions.You'll hear him discuss:Judge's Decision: The court ruled that the SEC's claims were overly reliant on hindsight and speculation, particularly regarding SolarWinds' early-stage disclosure during the investigation of cyber incidents.Pre- and Post-Sunburst Disclosures: While the court upheld charges related to SolarWinds' pre-Sunburst cybersecurity statements, it dismissed the SEC's claims about the company's post-Sunburst disclosures, finding them not misleading under the circumstances.Internal Controls vs. Cybersecurity: The court rejected the SEC's attempt to apply internal accounting controls provisions to cybersecurity policies, marking a significant limitation on the SEC's enforcement scope.Implications for SEC's Approach: This decision contradicts the SEC's previous stance in cases like R.R. Donnelly, potentially influencing future SEC actions regarding cybersecurity and internal controls.Broader Impact: The ruling may affect how cybersecurity risks are reported and how companies manage their disclosure obligations, particularly in light of potential appeals and further litigation by the SEC.Resources:Michael Volkov on LinkedIn | TwitterThe Volkov Law Group

On a cool, misty morning when the trees were bright green with their first flush of leaves, I rounded a corner on Route 215 in the NC Mountains and arrived at one of Sunburst Trout's rainbow trout farms. Pristine water flowed continuously into multiple holding ponds, which held different sizes of trout with plenty of room to move around and swim. Here, in this storybook cove, these beautiful fish have grown for generations just downstream from the Pisgah National Forest. Wes Eason is the third generation to raise trout at Sunburst, which was founded by his grandfather in 1948, and the company preserves Appalachian food traditions, including the value of necessity. Morsels of trout that are too small for filets become smoked trout dip or trout jerky, and the roe of harvested fish is preserved and sold as trout caviar. Many of the chefs featured on this show include Sunburst Trout Farm products on their menus, and that was exactly how I discovered this iconic North Carolina business years ago. Jacques Pepin's Southern Fork episode referenced in this show: https://www.thesouthernfork.com/episode-206
In this Throwback episode S1, Ep5), Ryan, Shannon, and LeVon discuss the SolarWinds supply chain attack, Sunburst, as the event was still unfolding. This was one of our first episodes and still sits at the top of one of the biggest cyber incidents in a decade. Topic 1: A supply chain attack on SolarWinds has resulted in a widespread cyber espionage campaign, with state-sponsored actors allegedly working for Russia targeting US government agencies and major companies. The attack exploited a backdoor in SolarWinds' software, affecting 18,000 customers and leading to the compromise of sensitive information. The breach is considered one of the biggest in a decade and will require extensive forensic investigation and rebuilding of security infrastructure. The incident highlights the need for increased cybersecurity measures and the demand for skilled professionals in the field. Topic 2: School districts in the US are purchasing mobile device forensics technology to search students' phones without a warrant, raising concerns about privacy and potential misuse. The Supreme Court ruled in New Jersey v. TLO that schools can search students' phones without a warrant if they have reasonable belief of a law or policy violation. However, this raises questions about the extent of privacy rights for students and the potential for targeting certain groups. Please LISTEN

Joining Sean are Emily Coyle, the founder of Cyber Governance Alliance, Andrew Goldstein from law firm Cooley and Amit Elazari from OpenPolicy. Emily elucidates on the work of the Cyber Governance Alliance, aiming to lobby for methodology change by bringing the best practices of cybersecurity into the legal framework. The Alliance is seeking to provide cyber security professionals with the protections they need to carry out their role, including limitations on liability and protection against the chilling effect of litigation. Andrew speaks to the potential impacts their arguments could have on the wider cyber security field. A pressing concern he highlights is the effect of the SEC's decision on aspiring cyber security professionals and their willingness to engage in the field, potentially exacerbating an already vulnerable shortage of professionals.Amit points out the contradictions between best practice standards for cybersecurity, enshrined in legislation, and the SEC's decision. She puts a call to action to the cyber community to collectively support the renewal of the amicus, around furthering discussions with policy makers to create a balanced decision.The group concludes that the lawsuit sets a challenging precedence for cybersecurity professionals. They argue that aligning legal and policy frameworks with cybersecurity practices should be a priority. They also encourage the community to engage the policymakers in discussion, starting with commenting on and signing the next amicus brief being drafted. Collectively they emphasize the urgency and importance of the cybersecurity community's involvement in shaping the future of cybersecurity policy and governance before it's set in stone.Key Questions AddressedWhat has been the impact, thus far, of the SEC's decision to charge the CISO of SolarWinds, Tim Brown, after the Sunburst cyberattack?How can conflicting policies potentially impact the sustainability of effective cybersecurity practices and what is the call to action for the cybersecurity community?How is the Cyber Governance Alliance challenging the current cybersecurity legal framework and what protections are they seeking for cybersecurity professionals?Top Insights from the ConversationThe SEC's decision to charge the CISO of SolarWinds has far-reaching implications for the cybersecurity community and can deter aspiring professionals for a long time to come.Through the Cyber Governance Alliance, there's an ongoing effort to integrate the best practices of cybersecurity into the legal framework and provide basic liability protections for cybersecurity professionals.Despite the contradictions in cybersecurity policies, there's an urgent call for the cybersecurity community to unify and shape the future of cybersecurity policies and governance.___________________________Watch this and other videos on ITSPmagazine's YouTube ChannelRedefining CyberSecurity Podcast with Sean Martin, CISSP playlist:

In this bonus episode, Ana and Eric greet you from West Bend with several friends: Washington County Executive Josh Schoemann, West Bend Mayor Joel Ongert, and Kewaskum Village President Fuzz Martin. Between all five, the topics run the gamut to every corner of Washington County and expand on the recent Discover Wisconsin episode on Washington County, which was called "Love Your Neighbor." All corners of Washington County get some love from the standpoint of visitors, residents, and businesses. West Bend, the county seat, has a charming and vibrant downtown with Main Street freshly repaved, re-scaped, and ready for great shopping, dining, and entertainment with the Historic Bend Theater welcoming regional and national acts in its 1920s-era-but-updated venue. Across the Milwaukee River you can take in some amazing art at the MOWA - Museum of Wisconsin Art and places like The Volunteer Center and The Hub, its associated coffee shop, were showcased in the recent Discover Wisconsin episode. West Bend also has Riverside Brewing, historic buildings, the Eisenbahn Trail for biking and hiking, and Regner Park, which hosts everything from summer concerts to the beautiful holiday lights in winter. Kewaskum is a prime example of Washington County's beautiful villages, and Village Prez Fuzz Martin dives into activities to enjoy from hunting for antiques to hitting the slopes and Sunburst Ski Hill, which also boasts the largest tubing park in the world with nearly 50 lanes! Nearby in Slinger, Little Switzerland is another popular area for skiing, snowboarding, and tubing. Since Washington County straddles the Kettle Moraine region, the topography is beautiful for any activity, and places like the Pike Lake Unit of Kettle Moraine State Forest next to Hartford are ideal for enjoying it to the fullest. You can stop at Aspen Sky Winery in Slinger after (or, heck, before) to imbibe if that would complement your day. Perched atop the highest point in southeastern Wisconsin, Holy Hill Basilica and National Shrine draws visitors from around the world. Whether for religious pilgrimage, to marvel and its beautiful architecture, take in the views, or find treasures at the Holy Hill Art Fair, Holy Hill is an incredible place to visit. You can get beautiful views of Holy Hill from the golf course, too. Erin Hills is a nationally renown course in the Town of Erin; home to the 2017 U.S. Open, the course follows the natural landscape and offers views of Holy Hill. Kettle Hills is another highly-rated golf course on the other side of Holy Hill. Washington County Golf Course outside Hartford ranks among the top 50 municipal courses in the United States, while other options include Hon-E-Kor in Kewaskum, Scenic View in Slinger, and several in West Bend.Hartford, on the western edge of Washington County, offers up its own fun downtown which includes the Wisconsin Automotive Museum, a car-themed wonderful ice cream shop called Scoop de Ville, The Mineshaft restaurant which served as Wisconsin's largest for a long time, plus tons of great shops of all kinds. The city's architecture features classic buildings, some crowned with pagodas. Germantown is the largest village in the county, literally across the street from Milwaukee on the southeast. The village has historic sites like Dheinsville and Freistadt that bring you back to 19th century settlements and some newer breweries and wineries. They include Old Germantown, a new brewery in a farmstead that serves up classic craft brews and wood-fired pizzas, 1840 Brewing, which was featured in the show, and Apple Works Winery, a winery that has grown out of an orchard at Behnke Estates. Germantown is a growing bedroom community but they still have plenty of farms, too. You can explore other farms nearby that offer family fun, including Basse's Taste of Country in Colgate and Peck & Bushel Fruit Company in Colgate.This is why we say Washington County has surprises around every corner.

In December of 2020, SolarWinds learned that they had fallen victim to a widespread malware supply chain attack. This attack granted hackers access to thousands of it customers' data, including military and government agencies across the globe. General Counsel Jason Bliss needed to orchestrate the company's response without knowing how many of its 300,000 customers had been affected, or how severely. What's more, the existing CEO was scheduled to step down and incoming CEO Sudhakar Ramakrishna had yet to come on board. In this episode of Cold Call, Professor Frank Nagle discusses SolarWinds' response to this unprecedented supply chain attack and the case, “SolarWinds Confronts SUNBURST.”
Greg and Bill discuss how breach disclosure laws could play out while discussing the recent events around SUNBURST, water treatment as targets, and the critical CISO skill of just walking around and talking to people.

In this episode, Brigadier General Robert Wooldridge and Sergeant Major Daniel Sebby help us learn a bit about the history of the 40th Infantry Division, California National Guard, and what the division was doing up through 1943. Halfway through the year the Division moved from the US West Coast to Hawaii, and then later to Guadalcanal. We also talk a bit about the strengths of the National Guard — then and now — and the different responsibilities the CAARNG sometimes has to juggle. The 40th Infantry Division will be back next year to continue their story in 1944. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mother-of-tanks/message

jD, Pete, and Tim welcome Paul Langlois to the show to talk about his new record Guess What.TracksWill to FightDesperation Calling638 MainGuess WhatTranscriptTrack 1:[0:03] Well, I would see him working away in Timothee's from time to time, like I would walk past Timothee's and there would be Gord Downie sitting there on a laptop and, you know,my reaction as a super fan is like, I got to go in and say hi. And then, and then as the same super fan, I'm like, what if he's writing? Well, what if he's writing the next fucking great song? And I'm the asshole who interrupts that, right? Track 6:[0:28] Well, he would have been writing something, but he kind of put the songs together after. Track 1:[0:35] Oh, gotcha. Okay. Okay, gotcha. Track 6:[0:38] So, how is my signal? Because I can hotspot. It could be better. Track 1:[0:41] No, this is good. You're coming through great. Track 4:[0:43] It's great. Track 5:[0:44] Okay. Track 1:[0:44] It looks like a nice day. Are you outside? Track 6:[0:47] I'm outside. Track 1:[0:49] That's great. Track 6:[0:49] These are my little sister's paintings. Yeah, I sort of had a thing built where I can live outside and just be Oh, man Shelter shelter up there, you know, yeah So I spend a lot of time outhere. So I'm in downtown Kingston ish like about five blocks from the center of downtown and Cool. Yeah, so I like it here. We've been here like five years ever since the kids left Nice, nice. Track 5:[1:23] Just the two you have? Sorry. Track 6:[1:26] Two girls, yeah. And they're both kind of making their way in Toronto, 27 and 23, and in their separate career paths. Track 5:[1:34] Okay. Track 6:[1:36] So they're kind of, you know. Fairly entry-level and where they're working, but Sure. All right, and we just thought we Give them a break and they pay us far less rent than they would have to pay. Track 5:[1:49] Yeah. Track 6:[1:49] No, that's good I said and we've actually used the place because I have to be in Toronto More than I ever thought I thought I was retired and now I have to be in Toronto all the timeand So we stay there every time Cool. Ah. Toronto hotels these days, you're saving 600 bucks every time. Track 1:[2:07] Toronto hotels are insane right now. They're totally insane. So the premise of this podcast was, I found these two friends of mine that are from different parts of the world, but they both grew up in Southern California, and they had not heard ofThe Hip. So this is getting hip to The Hip, where we're taking them from not having heard them, and We go through the discography and sort of get their reactions as to what they're hearing. Because you know, you guys are a cultural phenomenon and it's strange sometimes when you meet people who aren't aware of this thing that is like 11 million people watched the lastconcert. You know, that's staggering when people don't know. Track 6:[2:51] I've got to say, great concept for a podcast. I did notice the title and I didn't really catch, like I didn't really know what it meant. Yeah, I love it. I love it. Track 5:[3:03] We're of the we're of the same generation pretty much here And you know Pete and I grew up with Southern, California radio you know, that's what got us into music and You know80s 90s. Track 4:[3:15] Yeah the radio. Track 5:[3:16] Yeah, I was making mixtapes off the radio and Middle school and yeah, you know, we didn't we didn't have the the hit playing on 91x in San Diego No, not a lot of radio play inCalifornia. Track 6:[3:28] There's a San Francisco station, uh, K-Fog? I forget the name of it. That's not K-Fog. There was a San Francisco station that played us, which is why we were able to, you know, eventually play the film or, you know, a couple,couple of days in a row kind of thing and sell that out. But that, I think it's K-Fog, something like that. Track 1:[3:50] It sounds very San Francisco. Yeah. There you go, actually. Track 6:[3:55] Our radio play was random. Dallas, we got played in the early days, and Chicago, we got played. So all the non-border towns, like, you know, Buffalo, they have Canadian radio. So we're always, we ended up in arenas there. Seattle, not as much, but then it was just random. You know, we'd get play in some American cities and no play whatsoever in others. So it takes so much longer by word of mouth than it does if you've got a song on the radio. Track 4:[4:29] Sure, you know, so so so Paul, this is something that I are you guys recording, by the way? Track 1:[4:35] Sorry, recording? Yeah, it's right. Track 6:[4:37] Yeah, I just wanted to make sure you're not losing all the all the goal. Track 5:[4:42] Okay, so we pretty much hit go and do no, no. Track 4:[4:45] Um, because we're talking about this too. And this has come up a number of times on the podcast, right? And obviously, you just were talking about some radio stations, you got random and play in certain cities, this and that. And Tim and I grew up at a time prior to streaming. We saw that switch. So essentially, whatever we were listening to, unless you were in some like super niche underground group with the cool kids and shit, you were listening to what wasbeing played on the three main stations, right? And we saw all the takeover with Clear Channel. We saw all that shit happen. Yeah, us too. The thing that I noticed, and I'm not trying to blow smoke up your ass here, Paul, but I'm going to maybe do a little bit, so clench if you got to. [5:39] I thought about a lot over the nine months we've been recording this podcast, is that good music is good music, and there's probably so much shit that falls through the cracks. Here you got Tim and I, who never heard of the hit before. We both have a lot of similar bands in common that we like, but J.D. Put us on this mainline IV drip of the Tragically Hip since we started this, and at first it was a slow burn, but But now it's like, I cannot imagine my life without your guys' band. And again, I'm sorry to blow smoke at you. No, that's not. I'm not trying to do that. No, I love it. I love it. But it's just like, good music is good music. And I had a deep dive into Guess What too, and we'll talk about that, I'm sure. Yeah, just it's if you're not exposed to it, man, then you're not exposed to it. Track 6:[6:43] You know, I really appreciate that like it's it's like and And the slow burn part as well. Like I think It was a slow burn for many people just because I Don't think it was that obvious like, you know, the early days were kind of like Oh, it's kind of like more a barroom bumpkind of you know know, um, really kind of not boring, but, you know, simple. [7:15] And so, but I know that when we were writing and recording, When we were writing and recording, we meant to do that. For these songs, the songs that we chose for each record, we believe that they would stand the test of time, that you'd probably have to listen to it four, five, six times before you start to,before it starts to grow on you, as you said, slow burn. And I think that's better. I mean, there are certainly songs I love that immediately it's kind of like, wow, okay, that's a hit. But a lot of times there's, even back then, you know, in the 80s and 90s, sometimes it's kind of spoon-fed stuff. I mean, it smells like Team Spirit right away. I loved it. That's not spoon-fed. We're just doing this thing. They're doing their thing. But there's many more examples of where it's more spoon-fed, where it lasts about nine or 10 listens, and then it's like, okay, I've had enough of this. Track 4:[8:18] Moving on, when I do when I when I press play on in violet light, I remember and I told JD and Tim this I was like, dude, I'm not I this is not gonna work. This is gonna be a shittytwo weeks. We're listening. And then like it ends up like, I just it just starts. It's like a cicada man. It just burrowed its way into my head. And then, like, at some point a week and a half into it, I'm rolling down the highway here in Spain, just like fucking windows down just like what? Where have you been all my life? Track 6:[8:50] That starts with Use It Up, right? Oh yeah, Use It Up. Track 1:[8:54] Oh yeah, yeah. Track 4:[8:56] Oh dude, Use It Up. Oh fuck. Track 1:[8:57] That was the song he picked. Yeah. Because every album I make them pick a song and Use It Up was for that record. Track 6:[9:05] It's so funny because I didn't like that song at first. I was like... You didn't? Yeah. Now what? We're reaching here, it's no good. And then it grew on me as we were sort of all learning our parts and playing it together. It was like, oh, I get it now. Use it up. Yeah, this is the best thingfor later. But at first, I was just like, this is going to be a horrible record. Track 4:[9:31] Oh, dear. Track 5:[9:32] Well, I even said to my kid, I have a 21-year-old, I have 21 and 18-year-old sons, and my 21-year-old plays drums and an amazing drummer and he's getting into other stuff too. But I played him some of the, you know, I don't remember which album, but he looked at me and he's like, are you sure you can do this? What is this band? And the guy, does he sing weird? What are you doing? And I'm like, I hope so, bro. Let's see what happens. But no, since then, I've played in bits here and there. And my whole family, of course, has been subject to the hip. Yeah, same here. And they're now recognizing the hip when they come on. I haven't forced them to sit down and hear an album, but that'll happen eventually, I'm sure. But yeah, the slow burn has been awesome. And for you guys to accomplish that, I mean, you were in high school, right? When you... Shortly after high school? Track 6:[10:34] Just after, yep. So there's a university here, Queen's, so three of the guys were at Queen's. Johnny was still in high school, drummer. Okay, that's right. He was in grade 13, which they don't have grade 13 anymore, but... Yeah, so it was kind of Yeah, a long long time Yeah, I mean for that to happen. Track 5:[10:55] It's like you know I have a My brother-in-law told me at one point like what are you gonna? Do bro? You know you're 19 You're not doing anything is like I'm gonna be a pro skateboarder And I'm like dude you got a one and what 40 million shot to be a pro skater Yeah, come on.I mean, but you guys you guys were young and you kept at it, and you didn't go after careers I don't think I mean, I'm sure some of you held like part-time jobs or something But you guysjust kept going at it. Track 6:[11:24] We all had parents that were kind of like very supportive but at the same time everyone was in University and You know, what's the backup plan my dad said all the time and I'mlike no backup plan dad These guys because I joined a bit later like a year and a half in they were covered in And I love them and Gord Downer is my best friend and he asked me to joinbasically because I was Leaving. I mean I didn't think of it as a threat, but he thought it was a threat that I was just gonna go down Try my luck as a songwriter and He was like he didn't like that at all. And so that's the other And when I joined, my dad was like, yeah, but, um, you're going to go back to school and you'll have a backup plan. I'm like, I don't need one. Track 1:[12:20] And so I'm just going to ask you what's the moment, what the moment was where you knew you didn't need a backup plan. You knew that early on, like that it was like you guyshad lightning in a bottle. Track 6:[12:31] I knew when I joined, I went to all their gigs and, um, but whenever I could, like I I was driving cab, but Gord would always have me on the list. And they were just like small in-town gigs, either at the university or at a biker bar or whatever, a few bars that they were playing. And... I knew, like, and it wasn't just Gork. I knew that Robbie and Johnny and Sinclair, like, that they were just doing something different. Now, mostly they were playing covers, but they had songs that never made it even to our first baby record. Great songs, Heart Attack Love and Baby Blue Blood and, you know, all these songs were Reformed Baptist Blues, which was on Thaskadelphia, but surprising. [13:21] But it was just like, God, they know how to write songs. Gord is unbelievable. Nothing like the friend I had. Like as soon as he got up on stage, it was just kind of like, wow. And so I just felt like, you know, they have it. And word of mouth already just in Kingston. You know, they say you can't, if you're in a band and you can't draw a crowd in your hometown, then chances aren't great. [13:53] But if you can, you can take that. And so we just would just gradually take it to the next town over, Belleville or, you know, Brockville, then Cornwall and, you know, Oshawa, justsort of like just took it up and down the 401, which is a highway around here. And just, we relied on word of mouth. And then we started booking things that way. Let's do three nights. So we'll play Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and by Saturday we'll have it full because everyone's gonna be going home saying, okay, the singer's crazy and the band isheavy and tight. And so we built it up that way. I'm not sure if you could do it these days. I mean, there's still venues. So I think you actually could still do it our way. It was the only way we knew how to do it, but we always felt like, we were always like. We all had a couple of hundred bucks in general, you know, so it wasn't like, um, we were, we weren't, uh, not making money, you know, we were able to, and our parents weresupportive, you know, Gord's parents got us a van and et cetera. It just kind of, um, we knew very early on that we could just keep doing it. Let's just keep doing it until it goes south. And it never did. Track 1:[15:10] I guess not. Track 4:[15:11] Holy shit. Track 1:[15:11] Amazing. Track 4:[15:13] It's an understatement. Track 1:[15:14] Yeah. Track 4:[15:17] So I want to, I don't know if it's cool fellas, but I want to dig into the to guess what a little bit. Track 1:[15:23] Yeah, let's do it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Track 4:[15:27] So first off, you guys recorded the bathhouse. Yeah, we talked to we talked to Gord. What was it like three months ago? We talked to Gord. Track 1:[15:35] Oh, yeah. Yeah. Track 5:[15:37] Let's go. Yeah. Track 1:[15:39] When his record dropped, he came on. Track 6:[15:41] Pardon me? Track 1:[15:41] When his record dropped, he came on. Track 6:[15:44] I really love that record. I've told him many times. He's so funny. You know, he's just like... He's such a sweet dude. Yeah, he is. And he's, you know, we complain mutually about having to be the singer and, you know, and just all the complications. But I love his record. I've told him all the time. It's just like, it's classic him. just such variety. But we're not talking about his record, I guess. Sorry. Track 4:[16:15] No, no. No, he kind of said some of the same stuff, but your vocals on, I love the vocals on it. And then I was kind of reading about what you did with the, in terms of choosing the band and what's his name? His name is, oh, Billy Anglin. That dude is a, he's a freak on the drums, man. Track 6:[16:45] Desperation calling oh yeah yeah when he does that yeah like what the hell is that he's a giant in real life I don't know if you knew that's crazy he's like I don't know I think he's sixfive Oh he's easily 250 must be I don't know how much away but well hey he's a giant and he was a kid that we heard about Johnny mentioned him to me. I remember back when we first started, Johnny was like, there's a kid over at Elsie, which was another high school. We were at Casey and they were at Elsie and there's a kid, Billy Anglin, and he's like five years younger than us. He's like, they had the same drum teacher and he's like, that kid's really good. And he played into his 20s and then he started a construction company and hadn't played for 20 some years. And another The other guy in the band, Joe Carscallon, is kind of like a family friend of his. And he was like, you know, Bill Anglin would do it if he asked and I'm like, seriously? And anyway, he is great. We just played a show just out of town. There's a little quaint little town, Guananacue. I'm not sure if you've been there, JD, but it's a beautiful little summer town, Thousand Islands. Track 1:[18:00] Okay. Track 6:[18:01] And we played a gig on Saturday night. And I was just like, for some reason, I was just kind of really focused on Bill and the stuff he was doing. I'm very lucky. And the same with everyone else in the band, of course. Oh yeah. He just hits them so hard and he's so big. And he has a huge drum kit too, like huge. Where it's like, oh my God. We pull into a little club a couple of weeks ago just to have a warmup show. Track 4:[18:32] And the club owner's like, You know, the drums basically took up the whole, it's like, is this a Russian, is this a Russian cover band? Is Neil Curtin? Yeah. Track 6:[18:43] Anyway, I'm going to tell Bill you mentioned him because he's amazing. Track 1:[18:49] The big toms at the beginning of Will to Fight as well. Track 6:[18:52] Right. That's what I thought. That's what I thought Pete was going to say. Track 1:[18:55] Those big toms right off the start, it's like, oh fuck, this song has a bone to pick with me. It's like, it's challenging me right now, this song, it's. Track 6:[19:09] We've been opening with that one. Oh yeah. And Bill loves it, you know, he's had a setlist. Track 5:[19:14] Cool. Track 6:[19:16] Oriented and I always put Will to fight first and he's quite happy with it, he loves starting. Like he is not short on confident. For a guy who hasn't played, he's played on his own but who hasn't played with anybody for 20 years, It's pretty amazing. Track 4:[19:31] That's crazy, man. You know, you, well, it's because we're talking about drums. This is something that's that came that came up a couple times in the podcast. I don't know what record it was that we're talking about. But I had mentioned and I said it and I said it exactly like this. I was like, Paul Langlois is a fucking drummer. Track 1:[19:52] Yes. Yeah. I remember you remember that? Track 4:[19:55] Yeah. And and I said that because I don't remember what song and what record it really hit me like a Like a freight train, man. Track 1:[20:02] It was in between evolution is what you said it. Was it? Track 4:[20:06] Was it in between evolution? Track 1:[20:07] Yeah. Track 4:[20:07] Yeah. Just your, the tone of that, bless Paul, and just the chunk, chunk, chunk that was, I can't remember the song that it was on where it hit me and I was like, dude, I don't knowwho's drumming here. Is it Paul or is it Johnny? Because I'm getting, because I've done that. I've done that thing where you listen to each member of a band individually. Like, I don't know if you've ever done that, like next time you, next time you want to have a good time listening to your, if you like Rush, I mean, I like Rush. Who doesn't? Track 6:[20:40] I love Rush. I love Rush. Track 4:[20:42] Take it, take a Rush tune or watch maybe a live, live recording and focus on one. Watch it three times and focus on one musician each time. And you'll just see something new every time. Track 6:[20:54] I love that idea. Yeah. I love that idea. And thanks for that. On my first solo record, because I always thought... I got a drum kit when I was 30 as a birthday present, and it was Johnny's kit. Well, he set it up. And so my wife got it for me, Joanne. And then, so I was just drumming secretly in the basement, just because I always wanted to try it. And so my very first record, Fix His Head, which was like, I don't know, 15 years ago or something. Track 1:[21:27] 2010, yeah. Track 6:[21:30] Yeah, so 13 years ago and... I was just on my own. It was just me. And really, I was in there, in our studio, just with the engineer. Like, it's quite awkward, really. Because it's just the two of us, you know? I'm like, Aaron, you go outside or go do what you're going to do. Just give me the song on a loop. And I'm just going to play the song. And if I get a good one, I'll run into into the control room and push the space bar and stop it. And so that's how I drummed, really, because I just didn't like him kind of just being bored in there, probably on his phone. Yeah. Track 5:[22:10] Hovering. Track 6:[22:11] So anyway, I did all the drumming on Fix His Head. And it's not stellar drumming, but I was happy enough with it that it passed. I mean, it would have been way, if Johnny or Billy Anglin was playing, obviously, it would have been way, way better. But I wanted it to be a private record. I didn't really want to put it out. Track 1:[22:33] That's crazy. That's so crazy. But it's interesting you say that. I have a question for you that's been bothering me since your new record came out. Your new record is called Guess What, and it's the Paul Langlois band. But I go back into my old records that I have. I have them in Apple, so they're digital. And they say, like, fix this head, says Paul Langelois band now on it. But wasn't it just Paul Langelois before? Track 6:[23:02] Yes. Track 1:[23:03] Oh, so I'm not going crazy. Track 6:[23:06] Yeah, no, you're not crazy. You're not going crazy. I mean, it drives me a bit crazy, really, the thought. And Joanne hates, hates Paul Langlois Band, hates that there's no the. Oh, really? Track 1:[23:19] She's like, Jake. Track 6:[23:22] Yeah, the hips are my manager. My manager is also the hips manager, Jake Gould. He does a great job, but he was kind of, he was very in favor of just Paul Langlois Band. And I'mlike, okay, that's awkward, though. Wouldn't you say the Paul Langlois band? Track 1:[23:39] Yeah. Track 6:[23:40] Two guys in the band, Greg Ball especially, was like, no, Paul Langlois. Don't say Paul Langlois band, your first two records were Paul Langlois, so just Paul Langlois. And through the agents and all the people booking and stuff, it's like, well, the Paul Langlois band would probably be more appealing as an act to book, because I was trying to playfestivals this summer. And so I was like, okay. And then it's like, oh, by the way, we gotta go back. And it's all because of Spotify. Everything's because of Spotify these days. Track 1:[24:15] Oh, God. Track 6:[24:17] You gotta go back and call your first two records Paul Langlois banned because if someone searches, I don't understand it, but the algorithm, whatever it is, if someone searches,guess what, Paul Langlois banned, my first two records aren't gonna come up. And so that convinced me. I'm like, I want my first workers to come up. Track 5:[24:36] It happens. Track 4:[24:37] But that's the same thing with Malcolmus and the Jicks. Do you guys, I don't know if you guys know that. He has the same, that's a weird thing on Spotify. They want it to come up. They wanted to come up the other records so everybody can access all the music. And I get it because you also want people to listen to your, you know, your other records. But it's also like that. Track 6:[24:59] Yeah, I would like that. But I get it. But I hate it. You know, it's, it's, it's silly. It's silly. Track 4:[25:04] Me too. Track 6:[25:05] Paul Langlois would come up. Just if I call this the Paul Langlois band, which is- Change the algorithm, man. Track 4:[25:13] Change the search bar. Like make them both come up. Track 1:[25:16] Jesus Christ. Track 5:[25:18] That's funny you mention that Paul, at one point during our discography review of you guys I said, yeah, I love this whole process but the hip has totally fucked up my algorithm inSpotify. Like every time I play something now it's like something associated with the hip. It's like all these other bands but I have discovered some other bands. Track 1:[25:39] We were talking one day, Tim and I were talking, I was out for a walk and he's like, you're going to get a kick out of this, Paul, cause he's like, who is April wine? Oh, really? And I was like, April wine is like a seminal Canadian. Track 5:[25:52] Absolutely. Many, many hits. Track 6:[25:53] Big band. Good hits. Good. Yeah. Track 5:[25:59] Yeah, they're, they're fucking cool. Like I would, that was a fun surprise for me. That was, you know, thanks to the algorithm. So, but that, but that was, that was one of those things, you know, So 10 years, 10 years between Not Guilty and Guess What? Track 1:[26:18] Yeah. Not Guilty was 2013. Obviously that was a fucking giant 10 years in your life. What changed singer-songwriter wise? What did you take from that 10 years of experience and put onto this record? Is there anything you can lay down for us? Track 6:[26:47] You know, I think I got the… Lyrics are my toughest. That's the toughest. It's like finishing the bathrooms, you run out of money. And so, oh yeah, let's go for the vinyl shower. And so that's what I would do with lyrics. I'd kind of almost get, I get somewhere, but then I just stop and I didn't know where to go. So I think time passing more than anything. Gord, Gord passing. Track 1:[27:18] Yeah, yeah, of course. Track 6:[27:19] Time passing, the way the tour was so special, such an achievement on all our parts, but especially for Gord. Of course. The achievement on his part was unbelievable. It was unbelievable to watch, like from the inside, just how hard he worked and how driven he was. Was, like he didn't stop. And so I think that kind of affected, that helped me just with lyrics. Time passing, the girls moving out, my daughters, you know. And you know, now it's like in my 50s. And it's kind of like, I think that sort of just came through in the songs, Will to Fight, you know, just anything, just kind of like. So there was that. I didn't think I would ever, like I just was not interested in songwriting until I got offered a gig. And it was a few months away. And Joanne said, well, you've got to do it. And I'm like, well, I've got to put a band together. I'm not fucking into that. Who would I get? [28:34] Anyway, so then I thought of they're all buddies, Kingston buddies, and musicians, but they all have other jobs. And, um... Yeah, and then we started rehearsing and playing and and It was fun and so I decided I had a couple of songs Okay, maybe I'll finish those and we'll have a couple of You know new recordsongs. I was just playing my first two records kind of thing and then that was the end of August last year and and I booked the studio for November 7th, I think or 8th and And so then I had adeadline, so in September and October, I just kept throwing songs at them and I kept writing. And so it was the first time I'd written anything in 10 years. Like I just, I hadn't written anything. And then it was like, oh, wow, this is fun. These guys are good. And so the whole record is live. I mean, I play guitar and at the same time, I didn't do anything except one scratchy vocal. I redid one vocal, but we're playing live and there were very little fixes and very little overdub. Joe overdubbed a couple of solos. [29:54] So it was just kind of exactly how I wanted it to be and it was very reminiscent of how the hit recorded. You know, we like to not make mistakes, go into the control room and be like, yeah, this is a one. Of course, we'd leave it mostly up to Johnny, because the drums have to be right. He would always pick the ones that we wanted, without even talking about it. Okay, we like take number three. That was a very similar process to recording in the hip or in the bathhouse, so it was all very inspiring. So I'm a new person, honestly. I really thought I was done. Gord died, I just thought, well, we had a good run. It's sad. Yeah. But it was like 32 naturally years actively together. It's been longer now, but you know, all of us together playing and it wasn't like a five-year run, you know? And so I just thought, okay, that's good. But you know, yeah, we did it. And I'm just going to move on and come up with other things. Track 4:[31:07] I just didn't come up with anything else. No, but 638 Main says, like, I got a window into the song where you were at with this record and what kind of the question that JD asked. Like that I was like, okay, I see kind of where Paul's Brain was at with this record and like that's fucking cool, man. I'm so happy for you, dude I don't know. I had the same shit too before we recorded like before I Jumped in with this band that I'm in man. I was just kind of like, all right, I'm done playing music and then you fall in and then you get a band together and then you're like Like, oh, this is fucking, this is fun, man. This is rightwhere it should be. Track 6:[31:52] Yeah, you forget how fun it is. I did. And it's funny you mentioned 638 Maine. Not many people, but I have a couple of quirky friends that are like 638 Maine, man. I love that one. Whereas most of my friends, I'm sure they've never mentioned that song. I don't think it's necessarily a skipper, but it's an odd one. Track 4:[32:14] And basically- That's what's cool about it. Track 6:[32:17] Yeah, it's, you know, to me, it's cool, because I made it up on the spot. I didn't have anything written down. And I just pictured myself. Track 1:[32:26] What? Track 6:[32:26] Like I'm talking about what it's like to be in a studio. And we were in there eight days. And Greg and I, those guys were going, like there's a firefighter, construction, a factory shiftworker. Greg's a waiter, so he took the eight days off. And I don't have another job, so I did too. So Greg and I were out there the whole time. And a couple of nights, it was late. They were all latenights. And I was just sitting there, just like, oh, it'd be good if I could set myself in a bar to describe what it's like being in a studio. I didn't know if it was Monday or Tuesday. It was kind of like, you're lost in the music. You're lost in the recording. So I thought, and we only had nine songs, or nine that I liked. And so I was like, I want to try this one. And I just made it up. I just like set myself on fire. And then I'm kind of chasing the song. You know, it's all turning out like it should or whatever the words are. Track 4:[33:29] But it paints the picture, man. There was a hip song like that too. Do you remember, Tim, the apartment where Gord was describing the apartment? You know what I'm talking about? Track 1:[33:40] Apartment song. Track 4:[33:40] But that 638, man, it paints the picture, man. Track 6:[33:44] Oh, well, thanks. Thanks. Yeah. I was, I was very, uh, very happy with that. And Greg and Joe were asleep on the couch in the control room. So it was just, I just laid it down on acoustic and then, um, and saying it. And... And Bill and Matt, drums and bass, they played. And Joe and Greg were kind of pissed off because I missed it. So I allowed them to add a guitar and backup vocal. Track 4:[34:23] So anyway, I'm glad you mentioned that. It's cool, man. It's a deep cut. Deep cut. Yeah, we're going to Kingston. And for the finale we're doing is September 1st, but I think the day before or the day after we're going to Kingston. Yeah, August 31st. Track 1:[34:41] We're doing it. They're flying in August 30th. And uh, we're doing a road trip to Kingston. Track 6:[34:48] You're kidding. Track 1:[34:50] No. Oh, yeah, we're gonna do it. Yeah. I've got it right. Track 4:[34:54] Like I mean, yeah, I'm gonna be so dragon ass, man. Track 5:[34:59] It's all part of this process. Track 6:[35:00] That's what are you? Are you kind of Just doing it for fun. I'll meet up with you either way whether you're recording something or not That would be amazing to buy you a beer yeah, yeah, that would be absolutely amazing Yeah, we check the redhouse. Just get in touch with me. Track 4:[35:19] All right Let's do it, man. Let's do it. Track 5:[35:22] Let's do it Yeah, we're flying into town and we have an event at the rec room in Toronto on September 1st. So that's that's like our Our grand finale of the pod is we're meeting up and there's a tribute band, 50 Mission, playing at the Rec Room and we're doing this fundraiser for the DanielWinsor Fund. Track 6:[35:45] Oh cool. And so are you going to be, is it an event where you're not sort of talking together or are you guys going to get up and sing? Track 1:[35:54] We're going to record the final episode of the podcast at this event. Track 6:[35:58] Oh cool. Track 1:[35:59] So they'll finally reveal whether or not they're hip bands, which they've done a poor job concealing it. It's so funny at the beginning, they would be like, Pete would be like, oh, yeah, there's this lick that the rhythm guitarist plays. And you know, then later on, it's like, Paul Langlois, am I saying his name right? And then later on, it's just Paul. You know what I mean? Track 4:[36:21] I had no concept of your existence, man. I mean, I was like, what's this guy's, who's this guy's name? Now it's like, everything's off the tongue, man, but I, by the way, I gotta ask you, and I know they're for different things, but what do you prefer about it? Do you like your telly or do you like the Les Paul? What's the, what's the one that you're, that you, if you die with the guitar in your hands, the one you want in the hands? Track 6:[36:45] I mean, it would kind of, it would have to be to tell you, I'm playing the telly on the solo band shows. Okay. So, I've gone back to the telly. I don't regret playing a Les Paul. I started Les Paul day for night on. And that was a black one, Black Beauty. But then I switched to a Sunburst, which I love that guitar. That's my second favorite. That's my second favorite. But the Tele for sure. That was the first electric I bought, like officially bought to play in the band. And I'm using it now. And yeah, it would be the Tele for sure. Track 4:[37:28] I never played a telly ever until about six months ago when I visit my family in California. I walked into a guitar center and I went into the expensive room that you're not supposedto go in. I sat and there was nobody there. It was just a ghost town. I sat with a telly for like an hour and I was like, jeez, man. I got it because I always played a Strat. I got a Jazzmaster, and an SG, but I never, and I've never played, I mean, I played a Les Paul once, twice, but I never owned a Les Paul. That's thenext on the list. But a Tele was, I liked it. Track 6:[38:05] Yeah, well, see, it's funny, because I find a Strat the most different guitar, and because Robbie played it already, and he was like, he had 15 years of experience on me, because Ididn't start playing until I was 19, and he started playing, he was small. And he was playing a Strat. And so I was like, I mean, I started out playing acoustic and after a while I was like, fuck this, I can't fucking hear. And I had a big train ramp and it was just like, it was impossible to, I'd turn it up to, and I got electrocuted all the time because it was a old shit. Well, I finally said, I'm playing electrocute It's a lot of telly and because I figured that telly is kind of the opposite of a strat almost and I've never really ever tried to play a strat, like Ireally honestly never have. Les Paul's and Telly's I find are way more similar. The Strat to me is a different one. It's super cool, but it's just not my thing. Track 4:[39:13] I just like the pickups, man, like that Steve Miller tone, that Buddy Holly, those 57s and those 59s, those pickups are just so tinny and, you know. I don't know, I like that. Yeah, no, it's amazing. Track 5:[39:31] So, when we were just getting into Saskadelphia, right, and I'm listening to Crack My Spine the other day with my headphones on, you know, because I want to hear everything, andyour guitar on that was just like, it kind of just sounded like, it reminded me of the Ramones, like you were just kind of playing some power chords through there. It just reminded me of like 80s kind of punk rock, you know, and I just, I just loved that about it and it's been such an interesting thing hearing you guys playing guitar because, you know,most bands you got bass and drums kind of linked up as the backbone and you might have a lead guitarist but you might not or a rhythm guitarist but you guys were just like playing guitardoing your thing and it works and I think that's just such a cool rare thing about a band that you guys pulled off. And then it's been so fun to then go on and listen to your solo stuff and hear your evolution too, because we don't get this opportunity with bands very often in general. Like how many bands are still around or guys still around? Well, that's so cool to hear. Track 6:[40:43] You know, what I would credit that the most, or whom I would credit, is Don Smith, who produced Up to Here and Road Apples, because he handled us, he hard panned us, left andright, Robbie and I. So listen, I listen to ACDC, and sorry, but Malcolm Young isn't loud enough. Like, it's like the guitars are like this. Track 5:[41:12] It's true. Track 6:[41:14] So Don panned us. And so then every producer after that, and our guy, Mark Breakin, who actually helped us produce our only record we did without a producer was Trouble at theHen House. And Mark Breakin still mixes, you know, he mixed Saskatoon, he's been our sound man and our live sound man for the whole time. Although he did leave to bigger and better things for a good chunk of 15 years or so, but he's back with us and he pans them too. So he, so you can hear one in one ear, one in the other. I'm deaf in my right ear, So I have to listen to it twice just to. You know, hear what Robbie's doing, the odd time I'm interested. [42:03] But I credit Don because Don did that and he was super cool and we were so, he was unbelievable and we couldn't believe we were working with him. He'd done Traveling Wilburys and he did everything and he was Mr. Cool and he was just like, you guys just do your thing. And this is when we were young, impressionable, you know, we wanted to do our thing, but we figured, you know, people are going to tell us, you know, you should be a bit more countryand people did, you know, a bit more country, maybe or something. Don was just like, just do your thing. And he panned the guitars. So basically, he, he, I credit him with my job. Because people can hear me if they want, you know, if they're taking a closer listen, and like you guys do, it's kind of like all my parts are just naked on one side. At one point though, I made a list, and it's an ongoing list of songs where I'm in the right speaker if you're looking at it. I'm always on the left, and Robbie's always on the right. Except more and more, I'll check it, and I have like a list of about 12 songs where I'm on the right and Robbie's on the left. My producer decided to switch it. Track 1:[43:20] Oh, funny. Track 6:[43:23] Which is curious to me. Because when I put on headphones, so I can only hear out of this ear, 100% deaf in this one. Wow. I always put the left ear, because that's me. Oh, shit. Track 4:[43:37] And then you go. Track 6:[43:39] And then the odd hit song I'll run into, and it's kind of like, that's not me. That's Robbie. Track 4:[43:44] Who's this shitty guitar player? Track 6:[43:46] We didn't listen to each other at all, by the way, not at all. Track 4:[43:53] It's funny, dude. Paul, when you guys did Trouble, man, and that was a record, I think Tim and I, I don't know, I'm speaking for Tim here, but for me, that was the record where I was like, it finally openedfor me. And I got everything prior to that too, but that record was like, okay, this band doesn't give a shit about what anybody thinks, man. Just gonna do their own thing. And that's where I was like, you guys grew into this just animal that nobody knew existed. I don't know, man, that was a that was a break. That was the record that JD when JD flew to Malaga for primavera sound last year, he brought a vinyl and this is me still not knowinganything about you guys. And he brought me trouble at the house. And I was like, Yeah, I do you remember? Track 1:[44:48] Do you remember I mailed you trouble at the hen house on CD. And you're like, I don't have a CD player. I was like, who doesn't have a CD player? Track 4:[44:56] We moved here and I and then yeah, because we moved from the state. Anyway. Yeah, yeah. Track 6:[45:07] It's it's funny. Just to add something, because I thought of it earlier, very early on this chat, you were saying something, Pete, that I thought of, and I'm like, oh, fuck, I thought ofsomething good to say, and I forgot, but now I remember. So there was this band, there's this, I don't know that they're a band anymore, they're from Philly, and they're called Marah, M-A-R-A-H. [45:36] And they're a couple of brothers. And anyway, out of the blue, the day after our last show, the singer writes Robbie a letter. And he's like, and he describes, the letter makes me cry. me cry like it he describes his life and you know they got signed to, Maybe Steve Earle had a label, someone like that. Oh, nice. Nashville person. So they had some success, but they just ruined everything all the time. That was just their nature. You have brothers, and any time things started to go well,they would kind of blow it up. And then he described, he goes on to describe, he was out in the country on a TV at a cabin he doesn't use, but he happened to throw on the TV, and the CBC covered that show live, youknow, so it was live on the air, and he describes, you know, watching the show and what's about to happen, and what was my point? Well, there's this thing in the doc that Robbie quotes him, like, what's going to happen here? You know, are they gonna all bands either explode on the way up or on the way down everything? [47:01] Burn out nothing works out and What are you telling me? These guys are gonna pull the he compared it to a You know an air balloon, whatever they're called parachute No, like a balloon, you know, oh, yeah hot air balloon what they're all gonnapull it down and and land safely, like win rock and roll or something. It's just kind of like, anyway, it was just an amazing letter years ago. And I've always had the intention to kind of reach out to him and say, fuck your letter, man. Cause he, it's way more than that. Another thing he said is he would try, cause this is quite like this podcast that you're doing JD. He would, he learned not to play the hip to people, to his friends, to anyone, various girlfriends. He was like, I'd never do it. If he found a real hip fan, he said, like because they're touring, right, in New York or London or wherever, as soon as he realized it's a real hip fan, they'd be at the back of the bar. He'd take them to the back of the bar, and they'd have pints, and they'd talk about all things hip. [48:18] And anyway, so he said, if someone came over to my house, and I trusted them enough to play the hip, And they started talking over the music. That's it. Christmas lights off. Everyone's going home. [48:34] He's an amazing writer. Track 4:[48:38] It's so true. I said that to JD a couple of weeks ago when I was in California this last time in May. We were driving to Joshua Tree. And I fucking hate when people put on music and they're like, listen to this band. You're going to love this band. And it's like, you build it up, right? I didn't do that. I grabbed my buddy's phone, we're driving down, I don't know, 64 or whatever it is, down in Joshua Tree, 29 Palms, and I just grabbed his phone and I put on Trouble atthe Inn House. Yeah. And he's like, who the fuck is this? Track 6:[49:10] That's how to do it. Yeah. Track 4:[49:12] That's all I did. I played a couple tunes and he's like, who's this band? I was like, oh, it's... And then, you know, cause you don't set the expectations. Yeah. Track 6:[49:23] Yeah, no, exactly. That's how to do it. That's the downy way, actually. Did Gord and all his brothers. You surprise somebody. If you give people warning, it's not the same, you know? Yeah. It's just like, no, no. Track 1:[49:38] Expectations. Track 6:[49:39] Yeah, and when Gord was sick. Track 5:[49:41] It's true, it's true. Track 6:[49:42] His brother was looking after him mainly, and I was mainly there to help Pat. Someone would be, I wanna come over and see Gord, you know, because there was no tour in the future. Like, we all just thought this is it. And I was like, oh, this guy wants to come by. And Pat's like, well, just don't tell Gord about it. Tell them to come but we won't tell them about it. It'll just get surprised. That's how the Downies do it. It's like, oh we're here. Track 5:[50:10] That's cool. Track 1:[50:15] Paul, I know we said 45 minutes and we're over so I'm sorry for taking more of your time than we should have. No problem. Track 6:[50:20] I still got seven minutes before the next one. Track 1:[50:26] Oh wow, you're on junket mode, eh? Track 6:[50:28] Yeah, three today. Track 1:[50:32] Oh wow. Well, any chance we'll see you on the road in the fall? Or is it just take it as it comes? Track 6:[50:43] Take it as it comes, yeah. Sort of trying to stick to festivals, but obviously they start disappearing when the fall comes. So, unknown. So, I've got two more gigs in August and like one in Windsor-ish, Kingsville, and one in Bath, where our studio is, and those are both in August. Track 1:[51:08] It's been great talking to you. So great. Track 6:[51:10] Yeah, great talking to you guys. It's nice to meet you too, as well. Track 4:[51:13] Nice to meet you, Paul. Thanks for your time, man. Track 6:[51:17] Hey, we'll talk again. Track 5:[51:18] Yeah. Track 6:[51:18] Good luck with everything. Track 5:[51:19] For sure. Track 4:[51:20] Take care. Track 5:[51:20] Thanks. Track 6:[51:21] OK. See you guys. Track 5:[51:22] All right. Cheers!

World 11111Pacific Park's Summer Daze event happens every year on the last weekend in July, when the city is so hot the asphalt of the roads begins to melt, and brownouts brought on by the cumulative effect of too many overworked air conditioners roll across neighborhoods. The breathless inland heat makes the siren call of the beach, and the pier's seaside attractions inescapable. And the park always rises to the occasion, with shows, rides, contests, and spectacles that are almost enough to make people forget the heat.This year, the highlight of Summer Daze will be a series of shows featuring Rancho Pasillo's own aquatic ace, Trident, who has been set up with his own trailer, merch, and "interns" from the Sidekicks Program.And of course there's the yearly Summer Daze recycling drive hosted by the Ambassadors for a Greener Reality & Ecological Engagement, a club from the local high school, spearheaded by student council president Chris Rey, who's managed to recruit the elusive exchange student everyone's wondering about.But who is that shadow figure lurking in the pylons under the pier? Why is the seaweed washing up on the beach such a brilliant shade of green? What is the truth about the rumors that there are some inaccuracies in Trident's origin story? And is the shimmering shape where the sea meets the sky something more than just a trick of the light on the water?There's only one way to find out.This crossover event was organized by Vanessa Haas.

World 11111Ok, so maybe Trident isn't exactly who he said he was. Maybe the whole "intern" gig wasn't what it was cracked up to be. Maybe it is a kind of stupid idea to have people bring their recycling to an amusement park.But hey, turns out there's a secret mad scientist lab off the cost of Rancho Pasillo where a villain thought to be vanquished is busy making a new army of hybrid fish people, and all that stand between her and taking over the city are a few teenage super heroes trapped inside said underwater lab, some of whom can't even swim.So that's something!What will they find under the waves' briny depths? What is actually going on under the sea? And is s the seaweed really always greener?This crossover event was organized by Vanessa Haas. You can find them on twitter as @ AlpacaMyBooks.

In this episode of The Cybersecurity Defenders Podcast, we recount some hacker history, and with the help of John Bambenek, tell the story of one of the largest and most complicated supply chain attacks in history: SolarWinds On December 13, 2020, The Washington Post reported that multiple government agencies were breached through SolarWinds's Orion software.Victims of this attack include the cybersecurity firm FireEye, the US Treasury Department, the US Department of Commerce's National Telecommunications and Information Administration, as well as the US Department of Homeland Security.Prominent international SolarWinds customers investigating whether they were impacted include the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), the European Parliament, UK Government Communications Headquarters, the UK Ministry of Defence, the UK National Health Service (NHS), the UK Home Office, and AstraZeneca. FireEye reported the hackers inserted "malicious code into legitimate software updates for the Orion software that allow an attacker remote access into the victim's environment" and that they have found "indications of compromise dating back to the spring of 2020". FireEye named the malware SUNBURST. Microsoft called it Solorigate.The attack used a backdoor in a SolarWinds library; when an update to SolarWinds occurred, the malicious attack would go unnoticed due to the trusted certificate.The Cybersecurity Defenders Podcast: a show about cybersecurity and the people that defend the internet.

Twenty-nine ski areas with vertical drops over 1,000 feet. Fourteen soar beyond 2,000. Five cross the 3,000-foot mark. Four pass 4,000. And BC is home to the only two ski areas in North America that give you 5,000 or more vertical feet: Whistler and King Revelstoke. Thirteen BC bumps deliver 1,000-plus acres of terrain, and at least 20 load up on 200 inches or more of snow per season. Check these stats:British Columbia is like the Lamborghini dealership of skiing. Lots of power, lots of flash, lots of hot damn is that real? No duds. Nothing you'd be embarrassed to pick up a date in. A few community bumps, sure. But the BC Bros can stack their power towers – Big White, Fernie, Kicking Horse, Kimberley, Panorama, Red, Revelstoke, Silver Star, Sun Peaks, Whistler, and Whitewater – against any collection of ski areas anywhere on the planet and feel pretty good about winning that knife fight.And yet, even in this Seal Team Six of ski resorts, Sun Peaks looks heroic, epaulets and medals dangling from its dress blues. This is the second-largest ski area in Canada. Ponder that BC ski roster again to understand what that means: Sun Peaks gives you more acreage than anything on the famed Powder Highway, more than Revy or Red or Kicking Horse or Fernie. Turn north at Kamloops, east at Hefley Creek, and get lost at the end of the valley.But Sun Peaks' sheer size is less impressive than how the resort won those big-mountain stats. “British Columbia has probably the most progressive ski resort development policy in the world,” Alexander tells me in the podcast. When he arrived at the bump that was then called “Tod Mountain” in 1993, the place was three chairlifts and some surface movers serving a single peak:Over the next 30 years, Nippon Cable transformed the joint into a vast ski Narnia not only because they were willing to funnel vast capital into the hill, but because the BC government let them do it, under a set of rules known as the B.C. Commercial Alpine Ski policy. While inspiring, this is not an unusual ski area evolution tale for Western Canada. Compare the 10 largest BC ski areas today to the 10 largest in 1994:The acreage explosions at all but Whistler-Blackcomb (which at the time operated as independent ski areas), are astonishing. To underscore the point, check out the same years' comparison for the 10-largest U.S. ski areas:Certainly, the U.S. has seen some dramatic shuffling, especially as Vail and Alterra combined Canyons with Park City and Alpine Meadows with the ski area formerly known as Squaw Valley to form the megaresorts of Park City and Palisades Tahoe. That Big Sky didn't measure on the top 10 in 1994 – the tram didn't arrive until 1995 – is amazing. But the Western U.S., in 1994, was already home to legions of enormous ski resorts. That Heavenly, Mammoth, and Jackson Hole are the exact same size today as they were 29 years ago illustrates the difference between the two countries' attitudes toward ski resort expansion and development. Canada nurtures growth. The U.S. makes it as difficult as possible. Indeed, the reason Big Sky was able to ascend to monster status is that the resort sits entirely on private land, immunizing it from Forest Service bureaucracy and the endless public challenges that attend it.Sun Peaks is a case study in BC's development-friendly policies actualized. More important: the resort's evolution is a case study in smart, transit-oriented, pedestrian-friendly development. Alexander explains in the podcast that the long-range goal has been to build not just walkable base villages, but a walkable community stretching from one end of the valley to the other. This is the point that's so often missed in the United States: not all growth and development is bad. The reckless, developer-driven, luxury-focused, disconnected sprawl that is U.S. America's default building mode is terrible and inhuman and ought to be curtailed. Deliberate, dense, interconnected, metered development based upon a community masterplan - which is what Sun Peaks is doing - should be encouraged.This sort of thoughtful growth does not dilute mountain communities. It creates them. Rather than trying to freeze development in time – a posture that only kicks sprawl ever farther out from the mountains and leads directly to the traffic addling so many Western U.S. ski towns – BC has enabled and empowered the sort of place-building that will create sustainable mountain communities over the long term. It's an inspiring model, and one that The Storm will examine intensely as I focus more deliberately on Canada.What we talked aboutRecord skier visits; bringing back that international vibe; touring Western Canada; Sun Peaks' first season on the Ikon Pass; the secret giant; how to dodge what few liftlines the resort has; the Mountain Collective as Ikon test run; Tod Mountain in the early 1990s; ski area masterplanning; Sunshine Village; growing Sun Peaks from backwater to the second-largest ski area in Canada; Nippon Cable, the Japanese lift manufacturer that owns Sun Peaks; why Sun Peaks doesn't use Nippon lifts; why Sun Peaks changed its name from “Tod Mountain” in 1993; an interesting tidbit about Whistler ownership; whether Sun Peaks ever considered joining the Epic Pass; Sun Peaks' masterplan; potential terrain expansions; upgrade potential for Sunburst and Sundance lifts; future lift additions; “the guy who serves the most ski terrain with the fewest lifts is the most efficient”; going deep on the coming West Bowl Express quad and the new terrain that will go along with it; why Sun Peaks retired the West Bowl T-bar before replacing it; better access to Gil's; why Sun Peaks is building the lift over three summers; the amazing Burfield lift, a fixed-grip quad that stretches nearly 3,000 vertical feet; potentially shortening that lift; why Burfield will likely never be a high-speed lift; prioritizing lift projects after West Bowl; converting – not replacing – Orient from a fixed-grip quad to a high-speed quad or six-pack; village-building; the potential major lift that's not on Sun Peaks' masterplan; and potentially connecting the resort to the Trans-Canada highway by paved road from the east.Why I thought that now was a good time for this interviewIn April, Sun Peaks announced construction of a new high-speed quad in West Bowl for the 2024-25 ski season. The lift will replace the West Bowl T-bar, visible on this circa 2019 trailmap, on a longer line that pushes the boundary away from the 7 Mile Road trail:The resort will lengthen the existing trails to meet the new lift's load point down the mountain, as Alexander explains in the podcast.This will be Sun Peaks' third new chairlift in three years, following new fixed-grip quads at Crystal and Orient in 2020 and 2018, respectively. Sun Peaks approaches chairlift construction in a unique manner, with a history of building lifts as fixed-grip machines and then upgrading them to high-speed lifts later on. Orient, for example, may evolve into a high-speed six-pack that lands several hundred more feet up the mountain. Slowly, deliberately, endlessly, Sun Peaks grows and evolves.While Alexander and his team continue to stack bricks into the resort's foundation, they simultaneously grow the mountain's profile. A few years back, the resort joined the Mountain Collective. Last October, it joined Ikon. And, kaboom: no more secret at the end of the road.That's a good thing. If these BC giants are to thrive, they're going to need help outside the province, which hosts a population of approximately 5 million in an area the size of California (39 million residents), Colorado (5.8 million), and Utah (3.4 million) combined. That means bringing skiers burned out on Summit County and Wasatch liftlines across the border, where big ski resorts continue to get bigger and the liftlines rarely form (outside of the West Coast).I don't want to overstate the scale of what's happening in BC – certainly big projects still can and do happen in America. And even as they grow fat by North American standards, most of the province's biggest ski areas still look like birdbaths compared to the ski circuses of Europe. But imagine if, over the next 30 years, 480-acre Ski Cooper transformed into 5,317-acre Vail Mountain. That is essentially what's happened at Sun Peaks since 1993, where a small community bump evolved into an international destination resort 10 times its original size. And they're nowhere near finished – Sun Peaks' masterplan (pg. 141), outlines a monster facility at full build-out:The Mountain Master Plan … will ultimately include a total of 26 ski lifts, including one pulse gondola, one 10G/8C Combi lift one detachable grip six-passenger chairlift, four detachable quadruple chairlifts, nine fixed grip quadruple chairlifts, four platter lifts and approximately two beginner moving carpet lifts, with a total combined rated capacity of about 41,186 passengers per hour … The overall Phase 4 [Skier Comfortable Carrying Capacity] will be approximately 14,830 skiers per day. … there will be 225 trails providing 177.5 kilometers of skiing on [1,895 acres] of terrain.Here's a conceptual map of Sun Peaks at full build-out:While plenty of BC ski areas have evolved over the past several decades, no one has accomplished the trick more steadily or with such deliberate, constant momentum as Sun Peaks. It was time to check in to see how they'd done it, and what was going to happen next.What I got wrongAs is my habit, I introduced Sun Peaks as defined by our U.S. American measurement system of feet and acres. Which is not that unusual – this is a U.S. American-based podcast. However, as a courtesy to my Canadian guests, listeners, and readers, I should have also offered the equivalent measurements in meters. Only I am a dumb U.S. American so I don't actually know how to do these conversions. Sorry about that.Why you should ski Sun PeaksThe Ikon Pass is an incredible thing. Purchase one in the spring and spend the following winter bouncing across the snowy horizons. Hit half a dozen of the continent's greatest resorts in Utah, big-mountain hop in Colorado, spend a week in Tahoe or skimming between peaks at Big Sky. Or go to Canada – 10 Ikon destinations sit in the northland, and seven of them crouch in a neat circle straddling BC and Alberta: Norquay, Lake Louise, Sunshine, Panorama, Red, Sun Peaks, and Revelstoke:You could complete that circle in around 17 hours of driving. Which is not much if you're rolling through a two-week roadie and spending two or three days at each resort. Some of them could occupy far more time. Sun Peaks can eat up a week pretty easily. But for the resort-hoppers among us, an Ikon or Mountain Collective pass includes days at Canada's second-largest ski area on its ready-to-eat buffet. Here's a look at every Canadian ski area that participates in a U.S.-based megapass:So the first reason to ski Sun Peaks is that you probably already have access to it. But there's something else – you can just go there and ski. As much as I love the ski resorts of Colorado and Utah, they are just too easy to access for too many people. That's great, but skiing in those powder holes requires a certain patience, an expectation of some kind of madness, a willingness to tweak the algorithm to see what combination of snowfall, open terrain, day of the week, and time of day yields the most open path between you and turns.That calculus is a little easier at Sun Peaks: just show up whenever you want and start skiing. Outside of Whistler, the big-mountain resorts of BC resemble the big-mountain resorts of the American West 40 years ago. Endless labyrinths of untamed terrain, no one to race off the ropeline. BC's collective ski resorts have evolved much faster than the market's realization that there is another set of Rocky Mountain resorts stacked on top of the Rocky Mountain resorts of U.S. America. That's a lot of terrain to roam. And all you need is a passport. Go get it.Podcast NotesOn building an alternate route into Sun Peaks from the eastMost visitors to Sun Peaks are going to spend some time traveling to the resort along the Trans-Canada Highway. Eastbound travelers will simply turn north at Kamloops and then right at Heffley Creek. Westbound travelers pass within five miles of the resort's southeast edge as they drive through Chase, but must continue toward Kamloops before turning toward Sun Peaks – nearly an hour and a half on clear roads. There is a mountain road, unpaved and impassable in wintertime (marked in yellow below), and long-simmering plans for an alternate, less death-defying paved path that could be open year-round (market in blue below). Alexander and I discussed this road, and he seemed optimistic that it will, eventually, get built. Given Sun Peaks' record of actualizing the improbable, I share his outlook. Here's a map of the whole mess:On Nippon Cable and WhistlerWhile Sun Peaks presents as an independent ski area, it is in fact part of a Japan-based conglomerate called Nippon Cable. This is primarily a lift manufacturer, but Nippon also owns a number of ski areas in Japan and 25 percent of Whistler (seriously). Read more about their properties here.On Big Bam ski areaAlexander mentions Big Bam ski area, which sits along the Pine River just west of the Alaska Highway and south of Fort St. John. Here's a homemade trailmap that someone codenamed “Skier72” posted on skimap.org, with the caption, “Approx. Trails at Big Bam. Made with Google Earth. Top lift is future quad chair, bottom lift is rope tow”:Big Bam is a volunteer-run, weekends-only organization with 180 feet of vert. You can follow them on Facebook (their last Instapost was in 2014). Alexander mentioned that the ski area had moved from its original location, though I couldn't find any information on the old hill. The place has had a rough go – it re-opened (I believe in the current location), in 2009, and was closed from 2016 to 2019 before turning the lifts on again. They seem desperate for a chairlift. If anyone knows more about the Big Bam story, please let me know.On Sun Peaks spare lift fleetAlexander notes that Sun Peaks “might have the least number of lifts for a resort of our size” on the continent. Indeed, the ski area has the third-fewest number of lifts among North America's 10 largest ski areas:On the Burfield chairliftStow this one for ski club trivia night: Sun Peaks is home to what is very likely the longest fixed-grip chairlift in the world. The Burfield quad rises 2,890 vertical feet on a 9,510-foot-long line. According to Lift Blog, ride time is 21 minutes, and the carriers are 115 feet apart. The lift's hourly capacity is just 470 riders – compare that to the Crystal fixed-grip quad right beside it, which can move up to 2,400 skiers per hour.The Storm Skiing Journal and Podcast explores the world of lift-served skiing year-round.

Returning this week with a big stack of jazz and more I picked up last month in NYC, and also a couple selections in tribute to Harry Belafonte, probably one of the most incredible people to ever walk the earth. I recommend everyone go and pick up his autobiography just to see all the things he was involved in and accomplished. He lived an amazing life, and I start and finish this set with two tunes of his I love. Tracklist: Harry Belafonte, Rick Laird, Charlie Antolini, Masaru Imada, Walter Bishop Jr., Ted Vining Trio, Eric Kloss, Roy Ayers, Sunburst, Gil Scott Heron, Don Pullen, Harry Belafonte

SolarWinds is number one in network management software beating out IBM, Cisco and others, and serves over 300,000 customers including 498 of the Fortune 500. Its products have become ubiquitous because they are easier to use, more powerful and scalable and more affordable than other providers, including its recently launched Hybrid Cloud Observability Platform. This is the first platform that the company has built from the ground up since the SUNBURST supply chain incident that targeted SolarWinds and other technology companies last year. The platform provides customers with an integrated, full-stack solution that's able to detect productivity and security anomalies, identify issues and take automated remediation actions to maximize productivity, prevent security issues and reduce costs. The company's Head Geeks, Chrystal Taylor and Sascha Giese join me on Tech Talks Daily to talk about what observability can do for network administrators and learn more about SolarWinds' new Hybrid Cloud Observability Platform.
