Just went down stairs to get a cup of coffee and this interview was on the radio. What a wonderful conversation to wake up to - a lot of points I've heard or read of before, some I hadn't. I especially liked the point he made about the crying and soothing between infant and mother as the first musical response. First one had to recognize the different tones, but also then had to associate c...

The title is my own, and I inserted one word (in brackets) near the end (couldn't r...

So I realized yesterday while hanging out with Colm that I had never played him any of my recordings of past bands I have been in. This suddenly seemed very odd to me, considering how much he digs music. Maybe I did it on purpose? Thinks to self, "Oh no, but what if he says it's boring?", I would maybe be a little heart-broken (for those of you not in the know, Colm is my best friend's preci...

Our top albums list has put me in mind of about this time last year when CBC radio began "The National Playlist", an interactive program hosted by Jian Ghomeshi & guest hosts who would nominate 4 new songs a week, defend their choices, and veto others (all with good humour, and of course, politeness). Listeners from all over Canada phoned or emailed in their votes, trying to keep their favorit...
