Hello folks!

Ever had a band stay with you? Every been in a band and had trouble finding a place to stay after the show?

Last summer, I did a freelance piece for CBC Radio 3 on this topic. It aired today on Lanarama on CBC Radio 3.

Scott Wood and Couch Surfing

They usually put up these projects on their blog, so I can link to it, but they didn’t this time. Sadz. I will put up my rough edit so you can hear the funny stories from Carpenter, Ember Swift and Styrofoam Ones.

I also talked to some other cool bands about the same thing for the interview show in a sort of x-over! the interview show Summer Tour Special has great tales from Fallan Soldier,  Times Neue Roman, Humans and White Cowbell Oklahoma. Enjoy!

Humans “Bike Home”

We’re back–and better than ever!

I decided to start 2010 with one of my favourite Vancouver bands right now, Said The Whale. This is also one of the funniest interviews I have done.

I reached Tyler Bankcroft (wearing the blue t-shirt in the middle of the sofa) on his fuzzy cellphone from the bowels of Said The Whale‘s Gastown rehearsal space. He did his best to remain diplomatic when I asked him what it would be like to kiss Grant Lawrence from CBC Radio 3.

And just listen for when I let The Zolas crash the interview and really give Tyler a hard time. Don’t worry. He gives as good as he gets.

Said The Whale on the interview show

Said The Whale “Emerald Lake, AB”
This track won Radio 3′s Bucky Award for the Most Canadian song.

Said The Whale “Gentleman”
Tyler swears this song was not written to get a girlfriend, but vows to test it out soon since they have not yet played it live.
