Jeff Koons

Jeff Koons is showing in London for the first time, at Serpentine Gallery.

He famously made this sculpture of Michael Jackson and Bubbles in 1988.

His website is pretty awesome. More artists need their own websites. It’s not as common as you might think.

the interview show: the stills

When I arrived at the Commodore to interview up and comer Gentleman Reg, I met Tim from The Stills and, out of the blue, he wanted to do an interview. I was all, “Uhm … Great! …How ’bout after soundcheck?!”

Wow. I had 45 minutes to prepare.

Note: Both Gentleman Reg and The Stills are on the Arts & Crafts label, the home of Canadian super indie acts, like Broken Social Scene and Feist.

A typical Montrealer, Tim (with the badge, above) did the interview taking a smoke break. Then Dave (on Tim’s left) from the band joined for a puff.

The Stills are at an interesting point in the band’s life. They just won a Juno for new band (*ahem* three albums into their career) as well as one for best alternative group. And they are one of those bands that have been dissed by indie tastemakers Pitchfork. Not sure why Pitchfork has decided to pick on The Stills… the guys have been making great atmospheric indie rock for three records.

I talk with them about all that and more.

The Stills on the interview show

The Stills “Being Here” My Favorite song on their current record.

The Stills “Snow In California” Listen to this one. Sounds like it is about climate change, but… no. It is about the canceled tv show Carnivale.

The Boys Are Leaving Town (again)!

Winnie-tv #5 – Japandroids from Winnie Cooper on Vimeo.

Winnie is very proud of our hometown boys.

Check out our latest episode of Winnie-tv featuring Japandroids. They play the title track of Post Nothing for us from the tiny rehearsal space they rent and talk about a recent near death experience and Calgary.

Their second attempt touring North America is underway. The Japandroids are coming to a city near you! Take a look at the groups space for their July through August tour dates and see first hand how hard two dudes can rock.

Raise It Up

florence

The original version of this Florence And The Machines track is really good as is…

But this remix by London’s Leo Zero gives it a completely different treatment with a super catchy drum pattern and isolated piano. It’s one of those reworks where it doesn’t really grab you in the first 30 seconds, but it sort of slowly progresses and you get invited into it as more elements are added.

I realize that we’re pretty much the ADHD generation, so play this when you’ve got time to actually really listen to it.

Pioneer

This is how I remember Michael Jackson.

The next time MJ popped up on my radar was with his music video “Black or White.”  The 4 min Epilogue was broadcast on prime-time TV and the media made a big stink about MJ smashing the car windows.

The last time I remember paying attention was when “Scream” came out.  At the time, it was the most expensive video ever made.

YouTube Preview Image

Strangely, what all these things have in common for me is the imagery.  MJ’s videos, dancing and clothing always stood out to me more than his music.

“Michael Jackson made culture accept a person of colour way before Tiger Woods, way before Oprah Winfrey, way before Barack Obama.  Michael did with music what they did in sports, in politics, and in television. No controversy will erase the historic impact.” – Al Sharpton
