the interview show: Digits
What is Alt Altman aka Digits expecting in the mail?
Indie electronic acts were once a rare breed in our frosty north. First Junior Boys, then Caribou paved the way for indie dance, and Alt Altman assures me that Digits is only one of the many new faces ready to change the scene. Just please don’t ask him to talk in a fake British accent.
Like dance rogues LCD Soundsystem, Digits tackle strange topics in their songs. My fav “You’re Going to Age” is all about getting old.
Digits “You’re Going to Age” (Schaatz remix) Cool remix of an already cool track.
LCD Soundsystem “You Wanted A Hit” (Soulwax remix) We both love how James Murphy manages to skewer himself and his scene in all his songs.
Caribou “Odessa” (Junior Boys remix) During the interview, Alt Altman imagines being in Dan Snaith’s band.

the interview show: Chris Jericho’s Fozzy
Not only is Winnipeg’s favorite son, Chris Jericho a WWE superstar, but he also has written a book, starred in film and tv–oh yeah, and he has his own band, F o z z y. He teamed up with industry stalwart Rich Ward, who was a founder of rap-metal pioneers Stuck Mojo. I asked Rich why he thinks the genre doesn’t get a lot of respect and he had some surprising things to say about metal-rap–and Winnipeg’s own Chris Jericho.
Chris Jericho’s Fozzy on the interview show
Was at the Fallan Soldier / Dragon Fli Empire show on Saturday and homegrown hip hop was flexing its biceps.
Fallan Soldier “Fights” Love this ringtone beat.
Also, friends Times Neue Roman are putting out their new EP Talking Sporty on July 6, 2010 with YYZ Records.
Times Neue Roman “Roq Roq” Show them some love. Buy it!

the interview show: Thunderheist
THE END OF AN ERA!
The rumours are true. Thunderheist is over. [Insert weeping emoticons here!!!!] Red Bull sales will plummet. Clubs will be just a little less sweaty.
But Isis and Grahmzilla don’t have any time for any funerals! Both have solo projects in the works.
Isis is working on tracks for her new project Surprise Sex and Grahmzilla is remixing hype artists like Vancouver sorceresses, Fan Death, calling himself Nautiluss.
I talk to them both about the death of one of party rap’s bright lights and life after Thunderheist.
Thunderheist on the interview show
Thunderheist “Jerk It” (bootleg mix) The song that started it all.
Thunderheist “Little Booty Girl” (Alias remix) 80s remix goodness.
Fan Death “Veronica’s Veil” (Nautiluss from the deep mix) Grahmzilla’s new project.

the interview show: humans
http://www.vimeo.com/10706086Humans are one of Vancouver’s most popular party bands right now.
But I have to warn you… Watch out if you direct one of their videos. You just might get “sprinkle bummed.” If you want to know what this means, but also want to remain safe, you can just listen to my interview with Robbie and Peter from Humans.
Humans “Bike Home” This song was inspired by Robbie’s passion for biking. It is serious. He even runs his own bike repair business.

the interview show: Growing
Growing are a band doing really interesting things with thier record PUMPS. It is easy to see why the Olympia, Washington band has been so readily absorbed by the New York art and fashion indie scene.
Here are some weird facts about the members of Growing. Kevin (left) once did an interview with Vice Magazine while on DMT. Chloe Sevigny has been quoted saying that Joe (centre) was one of the inspirations behind her mens fashion line. And Sadie (right) is in another band called IUD.
Vice Records wants you to check out Growing and some of their other bands here. You can even download one of my favourite Growing tracks, Camera 84, for free!
Growing will be pulling into town this Thursday. See you at the Biltmore!

OH NO! YOKO
We haz did an interview with Abbotsford’s brightest up and comers, Oh No! Yoko.
Stay tuned for some upcoming show details and a take away we shot with these fine young gents.
Oh No! Yoko – Courtyard! Bankrupt!
the interview show: Dessa
Dessa is one of the emcees from the legendary Doomtree Collective. For those of you who don’t know, Doomtree are a Minneapolis crew of emcees and producers, headed by alternative hip hop powerhouse P.O.S.
Dessa admits she has never seen a group of guys who support each other as artists–and as people–as much as her guys.
And the whole crew turn out consistently excellent work. Dessa’s latest record, A Badly Broken Code is no exception.
Dessa “Dixon’s Girl” This song is about Dessa’s chance encounter with another strong female in hip hop… Can you guess who?
Doomtree (ft P.O.S. & Dessa) “Dots & Dashes” Here is what they do best: Dessa and P.O.S. collaborating on a track.

the interview show: ohbijou
Spring has sprung! Went for a jog in a beach park today and I wanted to hug the nearest tree. It’s the perfect time for the sweet sounds of Toronto’s Ohbijou. I chat with Casey (above in orange) while she plays with her red labrador retriever.
Ohbijou “Blace Ice” This is Casey’s favorite song on their current record, Beacons.
Ohbijou “Thunderlove” This song is pretty much me these days.

the interview show: Brian Borcherdt
Like most “artistic types,” I jot down random ideas in a notepad I keep with me. Brian Borcherdt from Holy Fuck is no different. He had two albums of songs stored on his laptop when it went missing in the trunk of a NYC cab. Years of work…gone! He eventually got everything back, but the experience made him decide to release the songs to the public–since they very nearly disappeared all together.
You can download both albums, Torches and The Ward Colorado Demos, from his website for free! Here is a great chance to compare Holy Fuck with Brian Borcherdt solo.
