WEBVTT 00:00:11.620 --> 00:00:14.359 Welcome to my weekly mixtape, a podcast that 00:00:14.359 --> 00:00:17.339 takes the classic mixtape approach to building 00:00:17.339 --> 00:00:20.039 a modern playlist. I'm your host, Brian Colburn. 00:00:20.179 --> 00:00:23.140 Joining me once again as guest curator is fellow 00:00:23.140 --> 00:00:26.160 Pantheon podcast network mate, Jason Whistle, 00:00:26.260 --> 00:00:28.920 host of the It's Not That Bad and There Can Only 00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:32.020 Be One podcast. Jason, welcome back to the show, 00:00:32.039 --> 00:00:34.719 man. Oh, dude, thank you so much for bringing 00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:38.799 me back. This is my fourth time now on the show, 00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:41.140 so I feel like I have a timeshare. So it's time 00:00:41.140 --> 00:00:44.560 for me to come back and visit. A series regular, 00:00:44.740 --> 00:00:48.520 if you will. Well, first, I'd like to start by 00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:51.679 thanking brand new Patreon mixtaper Tom Hutchinson 00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:55.159 because he suggested the theme of this week's 00:00:55.159 --> 00:00:59.359 episode, which is 90s Canadian artists. So, Tom, 00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:01.939 first off, thank you so much for joining the 00:01:01.939 --> 00:01:04.700 Patreon mixtaper family. And I look forward to 00:01:04.700 --> 00:01:07.540 our future music discussions in the forum as 00:01:07.540 --> 00:01:10.900 well as on the show itself. And if anyone listening 00:01:10.900 --> 00:01:13.480 wants to suggest themes for future episodes. 00:01:14.189 --> 00:01:17.430 visit the My Weekly Mixtape Patreon page at patreon 00:01:17.430 --> 00:01:22.909 .com forward slash myweeklymixtape. Now, 90s 00:01:22.909 --> 00:01:26.090 Canadian artists. I don't know. As soon as I 00:01:26.090 --> 00:01:28.829 decided to pursue this episode after Tom and 00:01:28.829 --> 00:01:31.810 I talked, you immediately came to mind because 00:01:31.810 --> 00:01:35.189 A, we always have a great time talking music 00:01:35.189 --> 00:01:38.450 and B, you kind of have home field advantage 00:01:38.450 --> 00:01:41.219 for this one, eh? Well, I don't know how many 00:01:41.219 --> 00:01:43.920 times I've been on your show, and I feel like 00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:47.200 I have to apologize because my Canadian starts 00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:49.519 the show with some of the picks. Even going back 00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:54.079 to Playlist Wars and the songs of 1991, I think 00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:57.400 I did whatever I could to make sure that I mentioned 00:01:57.400 --> 00:01:59.200 certain Canadian artists. And I'm sitting there 00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:01.620 looking at my list from that 1991 episode. I'm 00:02:01.620 --> 00:02:04.019 like, there's a lot of Canada on here. I might 00:02:04.019 --> 00:02:07.959 not want to put them all in. I guess this is 00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:11.580 the one episode where I have zero shame in my 00:02:11.580 --> 00:02:13.599 Canadian show. And I've got my poutine. I got 00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:16.259 my Joe Louis and my ketchup chips. We are ready 00:02:16.259 --> 00:02:19.379 to go. Well, as someone who grew up with much 00:02:19.379 --> 00:02:23.419 music and a slew of Canadian artists that may 00:02:23.419 --> 00:02:26.580 not have crossed the border into the U .S. tonight, 00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:29.000 which is where my picks and choices are going 00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:31.879 to be coming from that mindset. How hard was 00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:34.979 it for you to find a focus for the songs you're 00:02:34.979 --> 00:02:37.639 bringing to the table tonight? You assume that 00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:40.379 I'm ever really focused. But the interesting 00:02:40.379 --> 00:02:44.000 thing here is that. Squirrel. Squirrel. But the 00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:46.819 funny thing is, when you think about the 90s, 00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:50.919 I was in a band playing in the 90s, an original 00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:54.819 band. And I was very fortunate. I had the opportunity 00:02:54.819 --> 00:02:57.479 to open up for certain bands like Junk House 00:02:57.479 --> 00:03:01.360 and Rusty. So some of my influences, of course, 00:03:01.379 --> 00:03:05.699 are going to go into that. era but at the same 00:03:05.699 --> 00:03:09.099 time i was also doing a lot of djing as a freelancer 00:03:09.099 --> 00:03:11.800 so i had a lot of music that was you know not 00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:15.180 necessarily from rock in my cd collection because 00:03:15.180 --> 00:03:17.360 i needed it because people wanted to dance and 00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:20.539 apparently not everyone dances to the music i 00:03:20.539 --> 00:03:24.500 listen to harem scarum but you know um i'm just 00:03:24.500 --> 00:03:26.000 saying i'm just saying i freaking love harem 00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:28.180 scarum you just can't dance to them but yeah 00:03:28.180 --> 00:03:31.139 so i wanted to get a good cross section and be 00:03:31.139 --> 00:03:35.289 ready for pretty much anything I am coming from 00:03:35.289 --> 00:03:40.409 a place of tons of research and tons of, huh, 00:03:40.509 --> 00:03:43.270 I didn't realize they were Canadian moments over 00:03:43.270 --> 00:03:45.750 the last month that I've been preparing for this 00:03:45.750 --> 00:03:49.389 episode. So I'm really excited to see how many 00:03:49.389 --> 00:03:52.770 times I surprise you with my Canadian music knowledge 00:03:52.770 --> 00:03:56.770 and how many times I'm kind of on the nose. Well, 00:03:56.810 --> 00:03:58.689 it's funny because when you think about some 00:03:58.689 --> 00:04:01.110 of the past episodes on your show and on there 00:04:01.110 --> 00:04:03.050 can only be one where you've been a guest on. 00:04:03.580 --> 00:04:06.699 We pretty much have a good idea of each other's 00:04:06.699 --> 00:04:09.840 musical interests. So I'd be curious to know 00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:13.379 if you have guessed what my first song is going 00:04:13.379 --> 00:04:17.519 to be. Well, I assume nothing less. It's going 00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:20.680 to be Celine Dion. But let's pause for a minute. 00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:25.740 and get down to business before we get to that 00:04:25.740 --> 00:04:28.319 first pick. Tonight, as I mentioned at the top 00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:31.199 of the show, Jason and I will be curating a 90s 00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:33.899 Canadian artist's mixtape, and we'll use the 00:04:33.899 --> 00:04:36.579 old cassette deck approach. Jason, as my special 00:04:36.579 --> 00:04:39.360 guest, will begin side A with his first song 00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:41.819 choice, and then I'll add a song that I feel 00:04:41.819 --> 00:04:44.779 best follows up that choice. We'll then flip 00:04:44.779 --> 00:04:47.480 -flop choosing songs until we've mapped out 10 00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:50.439 songs for side A. We'll then give our mixtape 00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:53.420 the proverbial flip, and we'll map outside B, 00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:55.959 only this time I'll kick things off with Jason 00:04:55.959 --> 00:04:58.920 choosing second. Our overall goal for this episode 00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:02.720 is to craft the best 90s Canadian artist's mixtape 00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:06.420 possible through only 20 songs. At the end of 00:05:06.420 --> 00:05:08.220 the show, you can take our conversation to the 00:05:08.220 --> 00:05:11.980 next level by visiting the episode page at myweeklymixtape 00:05:11.980 --> 00:05:15.480 .com to give our final mixtape a listen via the 00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:17.759 embedded playlist. And if you like what you're 00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:19.660 hearing on the show, you can help me out by either 00:05:19.660 --> 00:05:22.420 telling a friend, leaving the show a five -star 00:05:22.420 --> 00:05:25.139 review wherever you're tuning in, or like I mentioned 00:05:25.139 --> 00:05:28.360 earlier, becoming a Patreon mixtaper at patreon 00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:32.810 .com forward slash myweeklymixtape. And a few 00:05:32.810 --> 00:05:34.889 of the Patreon mixtapers chimed in with songs 00:05:34.889 --> 00:05:38.310 that they would use to kick off tonight's episode. 00:05:38.529 --> 00:05:40.529 And I want to give a shout out to a few of those. 00:05:40.889 --> 00:05:43.449 Tom Hutchinson, the person who requested this 00:05:43.449 --> 00:05:46.389 week's topic, chimed in with Bare Naked Lady's 00:05:46.389 --> 00:05:50.310 Old Apartment. Chad LaMassa chimed in with Econoline 00:05:50.310 --> 00:05:53.689 Crush's Hollow Man. Cactus Pete chimed in with 00:05:53.689 --> 00:05:56.730 Rush's Virtuality, Bare Naked Lady's One Week, 00:05:56.870 --> 00:06:00.540 and Snow's Informer. Seeker chimed in with the 00:06:00.540 --> 00:06:03.519 Tea Party's Fire in the Head, the opening track 00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:07.160 from their 95 album, The Edges of Twilight. And 00:06:07.160 --> 00:06:09.839 Philip Bergman chimed in with Our Lady Peace's 00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:13.639 Potato Girl. So with that, Jason, I'm officially 00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:16.459 pressing the record button on our mixtape, and 00:06:16.459 --> 00:06:19.939 the floor is yours. What song did you choose 00:06:19.939 --> 00:06:24.660 to kick off Side A? Celine Dion? You would think. 00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:27.480 But as we were talking before recording this 00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:30.930 episode, As a Canadian, we apologize for Celine 00:06:30.930 --> 00:06:33.149 Dion and Bryan Adams on a regular basis, like 00:06:33.149 --> 00:06:36.329 it's our job. So no, Celine Dion is not my first 00:06:36.329 --> 00:06:39.370 pick. There were some really good songs in that 00:06:39.370 --> 00:06:41.949 list from the Patreon mixtapers, especially from 00:06:41.949 --> 00:06:44.670 Chad LaMassa, who chimed in with a conline crush. 00:06:45.050 --> 00:06:47.410 I was really fortunate to be able to open for 00:06:47.410 --> 00:06:50.230 a conline crush a few years ago with my band, 00:06:50.250 --> 00:06:52.649 the freaking Lola's. They were so much fun, and 00:06:52.649 --> 00:06:56.000 I freaking love the Devil You Know album. But 00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:59.879 I was flip -flopping between a couple of songs 00:06:59.879 --> 00:07:03.839 to start this tape with. And then I was scrolling 00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:07.879 through X and I saw a post that you put up today. 00:07:08.019 --> 00:07:13.240 So you inspired my first pick. Oh. Off the album 00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:17.399 Bionic, I'm going with Sandbox's Curious. When 00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:21.379 this album came out, I could not get enough of 00:07:21.379 --> 00:07:23.920 it. And there's a little bit of Canadian royalty 00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:26.079 in there because the singer is actually the cousin 00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:29.980 of Anne Murray. Now, the reason why your post 00:07:29.980 --> 00:07:35.259 actually inspired me is because you put a picture 00:07:35.259 --> 00:07:38.540 of yourself with bubbles from the Trailer Park 00:07:38.540 --> 00:07:43.120 Boys on X. Take a look at the video for Curious 00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:45.800 very closely and you'll realize that the guitarist 00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:49.310 from Sandbox. Is Bubbles from the Trailer Park 00:07:49.310 --> 00:07:55.089 Boys. Yeah, I simply had to reply with that photo 00:07:55.089 --> 00:07:59.329 because mixtaper David Owens chimed in using 00:07:59.329 --> 00:08:02.389 a Bubbles gif. And I thought it would be funny 00:08:02.389 --> 00:08:05.310 to reply with the photo saying, I think he sees 00:08:05.310 --> 00:08:09.509 otherwise. But Sandbox is a great band. They 00:08:09.509 --> 00:08:14.579 have that quintessential 90s indie. power pop 00:08:14.579 --> 00:08:18.519 sound that kind of bleeds into alternative rock, 00:08:18.620 --> 00:08:21.519 but doesn't necessarily lean into it heavy. It 00:08:21.519 --> 00:08:25.399 was kind of a 95 to 99 type thing where in the 00:08:25.399 --> 00:08:29.579 U S you had bands like the refreshments and new 00:08:29.579 --> 00:08:33.320 radicals. You had super drag fountains of Wayne, 00:08:33.419 --> 00:08:35.740 all of these kinds of power pop sounding bands 00:08:35.740 --> 00:08:38.620 and sandbox fit right in with that vibe. And 00:08:38.620 --> 00:08:41.120 I love that so, so much. That's a great pick 00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:43.340 to start this off. Well, the other thing, too, 00:08:43.379 --> 00:08:45.299 is they came out around the time that there was 00:08:45.299 --> 00:08:47.860 a lot of music coming out of the Maritimes. Of 00:08:47.860 --> 00:08:49.820 course, you had Sloan being one of the bigger 00:08:49.820 --> 00:08:52.919 artists. You had Eric's Trip and Jail and the 00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:56.240 Super Friends and some really, really good Maritime 00:08:56.240 --> 00:08:58.720 -based bands that did. They had that power pop, 00:08:58.860 --> 00:09:00.740 and it was around this time, too, that Trouble 00:09:00.740 --> 00:09:03.259 Charger was also getting really big as well. 00:09:03.850 --> 00:09:08.009 I cannot stress how important 1990s Much Music 00:09:08.009 --> 00:09:11.809 was to anyone who grew up in that era and their 00:09:11.809 --> 00:09:14.850 music tastes. If you go on Spotify and you look 00:09:14.850 --> 00:09:17.269 up Big Shiny Tunes, that was the CD collection 00:09:17.269 --> 00:09:20.429 that Much Music would put out every year. And 00:09:20.429 --> 00:09:23.009 someone had made a playlist of all the Big Shiny 00:09:23.009 --> 00:09:26.429 Tunes tracks. And it was like, if you DJed, if 00:09:26.429 --> 00:09:29.289 you liked music, period, you had Big Shiny Tunes 00:09:29.289 --> 00:09:33.070 CDs in your collection. Well, thinking of something 00:09:33.070 --> 00:09:35.769 that might be on one of those big, shiny tune 00:09:35.769 --> 00:09:38.990 CDs, I'm going to lean into this power pop a 00:09:38.990 --> 00:09:40.990 little bit and go right to the end of the decade 00:09:40.990 --> 00:09:46.269 and go with a legacy artist. Well, he had the 00:09:46.269 --> 00:09:49.769 touch that Jacob Dillon from the Wallflowers 00:09:49.769 --> 00:09:54.370 had as his father was rock royalty. And in 1999 00:09:54.370 --> 00:10:00.100 and Tal Bachman, who is son. of Canadian rocker 00:10:00.100 --> 00:10:03.320 Randy Bachman and nephew of Robbie Bachman of 00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:07.399 Bachman Turner Overdrive put out one of the I'll 00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:11.600 say it one of the greatest power pop songs of 00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:15.879 the 90s and that is his massive hit She's So 00:10:15.879 --> 00:10:19.679 High which if the song name sounds familiar it 00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:22.220 was featured in the American Pie movie so it 00:10:22.220 --> 00:10:25.809 had that touch to it where people kind of associate 00:10:25.809 --> 00:10:31.509 the song with those late 90s kind of teen comedies 00:10:31.509 --> 00:10:35.730 that were so huge at the time and for punk fans 00:10:35.730 --> 00:10:39.230 out there four years strong in 2009 on their 00:10:39.230 --> 00:10:42.730 explains it all album cover this song in a pop 00:10:42.730 --> 00:10:44.590 punk version which is absolutely awesome but 00:10:44.590 --> 00:10:48.769 the original is so infectious this is the type 00:10:48.769 --> 00:10:51.269 of song that you knew was going to be a hit regardless 00:10:51.269 --> 00:10:55.309 of who his parents were. But as soon as I heard 00:10:55.309 --> 00:10:57.889 the name, I wondered to myself, is there some 00:10:57.889 --> 00:11:00.169 kind of relation here? And sure enough, there 00:11:00.169 --> 00:11:02.950 was. And this song is just I'll say it. It's 00:11:02.950 --> 00:11:05.950 a perfect power pop song. So I think following 00:11:05.950 --> 00:11:08.990 up Sandbox is curious. I'm going to go with Tal 00:11:08.990 --> 00:11:12.470 Bachman. She's so high. There were certain songs 00:11:12.470 --> 00:11:14.710 when they came out on the radio that kind of 00:11:14.710 --> 00:11:17.070 tested your ability to sing along with them because 00:11:17.070 --> 00:11:20.340 they were hitting. pretty high notes and this 00:11:20.340 --> 00:11:22.100 coming from a guy who listens to a lot of dream 00:11:22.100 --> 00:11:24.899 theater and early queens reich i'll fully admit 00:11:24.899 --> 00:11:27.059 there's no way even in a falsetto i'm going to 00:11:27.059 --> 00:11:29.539 hit those notes she's so high it's not that bad 00:11:29.539 --> 00:11:32.059 as far as as you know a higher register goes 00:11:32.059 --> 00:11:34.799 but it was definitely testing my ability to sing 00:11:34.799 --> 00:11:39.919 along with it in the car but knowing that i think 00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:41.679 i know where i'm going to go with this one and 00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:45.399 i'm going to go to the opposite end of the vocal 00:11:45.399 --> 00:11:48.590 registry spectrum here i'm going to go low I'm 00:11:48.590 --> 00:11:51.850 going to go low with the dulcet tones of Brad 00:11:51.850 --> 00:11:54.070 Roberts harmonizing with Ellen Reed. I'm going 00:11:54.070 --> 00:11:56.850 to go with the crash test dummies and I'm going 00:11:56.850 --> 00:12:00.690 to go with the ghosts that haunt me. A, it's 00:12:00.690 --> 00:12:03.029 a wonderful song. Absolutely wonderful song. 00:12:03.350 --> 00:12:05.950 When those first albums came out, like you think 00:12:05.950 --> 00:12:10.570 about Superman song, it was such a iconic song 00:12:10.570 --> 00:12:12.669 for them. And A, I love the fact that they're 00:12:12.669 --> 00:12:15.639 still out there playing. And yes, admittedly, 00:12:15.639 --> 00:12:18.419 if you weren't singing along with mmm, well, 00:12:18.779 --> 00:12:20.379 you knew all the words anyway, so you were fine. 00:12:20.899 --> 00:12:22.879 Ghosts That Haunt Me, though, just had such a 00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:26.200 fun, almost, I almost want to say a Celtic vibe 00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:29.019 to it. And again, there was a lot of those maritime 00:12:29.019 --> 00:12:31.460 Celtic vibes that was going on in the 90s as 00:12:31.460 --> 00:12:33.779 well. You know, not necessarily out of sandbox, 00:12:34.139 --> 00:12:36.820 but there were a lot of bands like Spirit of 00:12:36.820 --> 00:12:40.250 the West. Ashley MacIsaac, Melanie Doan, that 00:12:40.250 --> 00:12:43.690 all had those maritime Celtic influences into 00:12:43.690 --> 00:12:47.330 them. This definitely had that as well. Well, 00:12:47.450 --> 00:12:49.990 you scooped me on the band. There was no way 00:12:49.990 --> 00:12:52.409 we were getting through a 90s conversation and 00:12:52.409 --> 00:12:56.409 not talking about crash test dummies. I had in 00:12:56.409 --> 00:13:00.929 my bank. That was the massive hit in the US. 00:13:01.190 --> 00:13:03.990 The one that was the go to song, the one that 00:13:03.990 --> 00:13:06.789 weird out parodied in headline news. That's the 00:13:06.789 --> 00:13:09.549 one that. really hit big for me. But that entire 00:13:09.549 --> 00:13:12.149 album, actually everything the Crash Test Dummies 00:13:12.149 --> 00:13:15.610 did in the 90s was epic. One of those bands that 00:13:15.610 --> 00:13:19.070 I think is, at least from the U .S. perspective, 00:13:19.509 --> 00:13:22.289 severely underrated. I'm not sure if they have 00:13:22.289 --> 00:13:25.610 more of a footprint in Canada than they do here 00:13:25.610 --> 00:13:28.870 in the U .S., but severely underrated here. Well, 00:13:28.929 --> 00:13:32.909 that's always the surprising thing is bands that 00:13:32.909 --> 00:13:36.909 are huge here and never get any play in the States. 00:13:37.450 --> 00:13:39.970 I had Jesse Jackson on from the Set Lusting Bruce 00:13:39.970 --> 00:13:43.570 podcast on to There Can Only Be One, talking 00:13:43.570 --> 00:13:46.029 about Bruce Springsteen, of course. And he was 00:13:46.029 --> 00:13:47.870 mentioning that someone introduced him to the 00:13:47.870 --> 00:13:51.090 Tragically Hip, which is literally Canada's house 00:13:51.090 --> 00:13:54.830 band, basically. And he had never actually heard 00:13:54.830 --> 00:13:58.450 them. And, you know, every documentary about 00:13:58.450 --> 00:14:01.470 a Canadian band, the pinnacle is always when 00:14:01.470 --> 00:14:04.480 do they break it in the States? For Rush, when 00:14:04.480 --> 00:14:06.320 do they make it big in the States? For Triumph, 00:14:06.360 --> 00:14:08.039 when do they make it big in the States? What's 00:14:08.039 --> 00:14:10.879 the state that broke them? You know, for Rush, 00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:15.240 it was Ohio. For Triumph, it was Texas. Aside 00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:18.799 from that, though, sometimes we kind of like 00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:20.639 to keep bands to ourselves, I guess. I don't 00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:22.720 know. But Crash Test Dummies, it does surprise 00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:25.419 me that they didn't make it bigger on college 00:14:25.419 --> 00:14:28.259 radio in the States. But I also understand it 00:14:28.259 --> 00:14:31.379 as well. Well, following up the Crash Test Dummies, 00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:35.279 I. think i'm gonna go back even further and go 00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:38.360 with what is definitely a legacy artist because 00:14:38.360 --> 00:14:44.000 in the 90s there was a resurgence of 70s artists 00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:47.919 that were still putting out music in the 80s 00:14:47.919 --> 00:14:52.720 but then had moments in the 90s that almost seemed 00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:55.730 bigger than anything they had done in the 80s 00:14:55.730 --> 00:15:00.429 first and foremost i think back to 1993 and meatloaf 00:15:00.429 --> 00:15:03.690 bad out of hell 2 i will do anything for love 00:15:03.690 --> 00:15:06.470 but i won't do that the song was just massive 00:15:06.470 --> 00:15:11.029 and truly introduced an entire generation to 00:15:11.029 --> 00:15:14.970 both bad out of hell 2 and 1 simultaneously because 00:15:14.970 --> 00:15:17.409 a lot of the people our age didn't know bad out 00:15:17.409 --> 00:15:20.429 of hell unless our parents played it along with 00:15:20.429 --> 00:15:23.279 that you had Obviously, my favorite artist of 00:15:23.279 --> 00:15:26.419 all time, Tom Petty. Full Moon Fever was the 00:15:26.419 --> 00:15:29.139 80s, but he carried that into the 90s with the 00:15:29.139 --> 00:15:31.679 insanely successful Into the Great Wide Open. 00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:35.580 Then his massive Greatest Hits album, followed 00:15:35.580 --> 00:15:39.299 by Wildflowers. Tom Petty's 90s outputs among 00:15:39.299 --> 00:15:41.759 some of the best he's ever done. And then you 00:15:41.759 --> 00:15:45.320 had Eric Clapton's 1992 Unplugged concert that 00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:48.779 introduced that new version of Layla that was 00:15:48.779 --> 00:15:51.460 originally by Derek and the Dominoes. So artists 00:15:51.460 --> 00:15:55.720 and bands from the 70s were having a resurgence 00:15:55.720 --> 00:15:59.600 in the 90s and falling in neck and neck. And 00:15:59.600 --> 00:16:03.179 this artist is definitely one that did it throughout 00:16:03.179 --> 00:16:08.230 the 90s. Canada's own Neil Young. who released 00:16:08.230 --> 00:16:12.830 insanely killer albums in the 90s between 1990s 00:16:12.830 --> 00:16:15.950 Ragged Glory, which contained the song F and 00:16:15.950 --> 00:16:18.529 Up, which is something that Pearl Jam took into 00:16:18.529 --> 00:16:21.529 their repertoire and have been using live for 00:16:21.529 --> 00:16:23.549 many, many years. And then speaking of Pearl 00:16:23.549 --> 00:16:27.049 Jam, you had 1995's Mirrorball, which featured 00:16:27.049 --> 00:16:29.809 the band and the Merkin Ball single. So you had 00:16:29.809 --> 00:16:32.610 that collaboration. But I'm going to have to 00:16:32.610 --> 00:16:34.970 go with coming out of the crash test on these. 00:16:35.519 --> 00:16:39.620 The beautiful follow -up to 1972's Harvest. And 00:16:39.620 --> 00:16:43.679 I'm going to go with the title track, 1992, Harvest 00:16:43.679 --> 00:16:46.059 Moon. Because at this part of a playlist, we've 00:16:46.059 --> 00:16:48.059 got a few songs we could take it down and kind 00:16:48.059 --> 00:16:50.460 of get a little mellow for a track. And I think 00:16:50.460 --> 00:16:53.879 this is the perfect example of that. I did mention 00:16:53.879 --> 00:16:59.139 that. I DJed a lot back then. Guaranteed, Harvest 00:16:59.139 --> 00:17:02.600 Moon got played. a lot when it came time to all 00:17:02.600 --> 00:17:04.599 right and people want to slow dance now i know 00:17:04.599 --> 00:17:08.279 exactly what to put on it's just such a soft 00:17:08.279 --> 00:17:12.839 soft song and when you watch the video too the 00:17:12.839 --> 00:17:15.059 video is the perfect setting for it almost like 00:17:15.059 --> 00:17:20.480 a barn dance and again another song that much 00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:25.000 music really catapulted like people don't today 00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:27.400 like right now you want to watch a video music 00:17:27.400 --> 00:17:30.490 video you go on youtube it's whatever right The 00:17:30.490 --> 00:17:37.210 idea of entire hours dedicated to specific genres 00:17:37.210 --> 00:17:41.329 and because you had to fill that what was called 00:17:41.329 --> 00:17:46.069 CanCon content. So the CRTC would make much music 00:17:46.069 --> 00:17:49.009 and radio stations hit a what's called a CanCon 00:17:49.009 --> 00:17:54.660 quota. percentage of every hour had to be Canadian 00:17:54.660 --> 00:17:58.160 artists. So that's why you had a lot of these 00:17:58.160 --> 00:18:02.019 up and coming bands getting played a lot as well. 00:18:02.019 --> 00:18:03.839 There was something called Video Fact, which 00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:07.259 was a government grant that was allowing up and 00:18:07.259 --> 00:18:09.220 coming artists in order to be able to access 00:18:09.220 --> 00:18:11.900 funding to create videos, to help promote their 00:18:11.900 --> 00:18:14.680 music and help get them on the road. Not that 00:18:14.680 --> 00:18:16.799 Neil Young needed Video Fact, but I'm just trying 00:18:16.799 --> 00:18:19.630 to put it out. just how important much music 00:18:19.630 --> 00:18:23.069 and video fact were in really shaping the landscape. 00:18:23.569 --> 00:18:26.970 Had it not been for much music, Harvest Moon 00:18:26.970 --> 00:18:29.230 still would have been a great song and still 00:18:29.230 --> 00:18:31.430 would play it on radio, but not necessarily every 00:18:31.430 --> 00:18:34.130 single radio station. That was the key thing, 00:18:34.190 --> 00:18:36.230 right? If you like country, you were going to 00:18:36.230 --> 00:18:38.190 listen to country radio. If you liked rock, you 00:18:38.190 --> 00:18:40.630 were going to listen to rock radio. If you liked 00:18:40.630 --> 00:18:43.970 music, period, full stop, you were watching much 00:18:43.970 --> 00:18:47.309 music. And you wouldn't mind watching shows like 00:18:47.309 --> 00:18:51.029 Rap City and The Power Hour and The Wedge and 00:18:51.029 --> 00:18:53.569 getting a lot of different music thrown at you. 00:18:53.630 --> 00:18:55.869 And it really broadened your horizons rather 00:18:55.869 --> 00:18:58.190 than being stuck in, for lack of a better term, 00:18:58.289 --> 00:19:01.470 a genre hole. By all means. And Neil Young definitely 00:19:01.470 --> 00:19:04.349 crossed that barrier in the 90s. His relationship 00:19:04.349 --> 00:19:08.130 with Pearl Jam really solidified him as an icon 00:19:08.130 --> 00:19:13.039 in that grunge. alternative space and yet Harvest 00:19:13.039 --> 00:19:15.839 Moon definitely lent itself to like the end of 00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:18.240 the night album I always called it you were leaving 00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:20.200 a party and you just wanted something mellow 00:19:20.200 --> 00:19:22.480 to listen to on the way home but it had to be 00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:26.059 good and let's be honest and if I'm being honest 00:19:26.059 --> 00:19:28.740 with myself Neil Young's Harvest is probably 00:19:28.740 --> 00:19:31.799 my favorite album of his of all time and Harvest 00:19:31.799 --> 00:19:35.680 Moon is the perfect bookend to it so I just think 00:19:35.680 --> 00:19:39.789 it's an amazing album that Could have been released 00:19:39.789 --> 00:19:42.710 in the 70s, could have been released in the 90s 00:19:42.710 --> 00:19:45.250 and could have been released yesterday and just 00:19:45.250 --> 00:19:48.569 still checks all the boxes. So it's a timeless 00:19:48.569 --> 00:19:51.190 song for me as well. But now I'm throwing it 00:19:51.190 --> 00:19:52.809 back to you to follow that up, because I know 00:19:52.809 --> 00:19:55.630 that takes us down several notches. So I'll be 00:19:55.630 --> 00:19:58.369 curious to see how you kind of bounce off this 00:19:58.369 --> 00:20:01.710 one. I thought we might end up kind of in this 00:20:01.710 --> 00:20:04.869 side of things because Neil Young was always 00:20:04.869 --> 00:20:08.269 going to be an option that was thrown in. So 00:20:08.269 --> 00:20:10.769 I was ready for this one. I was fully ready for 00:20:10.769 --> 00:20:12.109 this one. And I'm going to go all the way back 00:20:12.109 --> 00:20:16.490 to 1990 and Blue Rodeo's Casino album and the 00:20:16.490 --> 00:20:20.329 song Trust Yourself. I don't think that there 00:20:20.329 --> 00:20:25.410 is any other band that was able to not just walk 00:20:25.410 --> 00:20:29.170 that line between country and pop, but literally 00:20:29.170 --> 00:20:33.170 dance on both sides of it and be accessible to 00:20:33.170 --> 00:20:38.250 both country and pop music fans. Blue Rodeo is 00:20:38.250 --> 00:20:42.809 just a stupidly, stupidly talented band. And 00:20:42.809 --> 00:20:45.630 Jim Cuddy's voice is, no matter what he's singing, 00:20:45.849 --> 00:20:49.029 it's solid. If you've ever heard the song Try, 00:20:49.369 --> 00:20:53.329 Jim Cuddy's voice is the song, period. But Trust 00:20:53.329 --> 00:20:56.390 Yourself, genre -wise, it fits with Neil Young, 00:20:56.549 --> 00:20:58.650 but it does bring the tempo back up a little 00:20:58.650 --> 00:21:02.130 bit. I love the fact that you mentioned the connection 00:21:02.130 --> 00:21:06.279 to country music because Blue Rodeo definitely 00:21:06.279 --> 00:21:08.619 is one of those bands that you could rock on 00:21:08.619 --> 00:21:12.160 both a country playlist as well as a rock playlist. 00:21:12.359 --> 00:21:15.279 And neither one seems out of place or out of 00:21:15.279 --> 00:21:18.819 touch. They just have that definite crossover 00:21:18.819 --> 00:21:23.099 appeal. And I think I have the perfect song to 00:21:23.099 --> 00:21:26.279 come out of that. And I'm going to go up one 00:21:26.279 --> 00:21:31.240 year to 1991. Now, this song was a massive pop 00:21:31.240 --> 00:21:36.210 rock hit. However. Country music sunk its teeth 00:21:36.210 --> 00:21:40.170 into it. And in 1998, Chris LeDoux recorded a 00:21:40.170 --> 00:21:43.670 version for his One Road Man album. And then 00:21:43.670 --> 00:21:47.910 a few years later, Rascal Flatts brought it back 00:21:47.910 --> 00:21:52.309 and then some for the Cars soundtrack. And I 00:21:52.309 --> 00:21:55.109 am going to go with Tom Cochran's Life is a Highway 00:21:55.109 --> 00:22:00.109 from 1991's Mad Mad World. You could not escape 00:22:00.109 --> 00:22:05.329 this song on Top 40 Radio. for all of 1991. And 00:22:05.329 --> 00:22:07.630 to this day, when Colburn and company plays, 00:22:07.730 --> 00:22:10.769 we open up with this drum beat, people immediately 00:22:10.769 --> 00:22:14.509 pep up. It's just one of those songs that raises 00:22:14.509 --> 00:22:17.250 eyebrows. And we've talked about this in the 00:22:17.250 --> 00:22:20.670 band. It's a great song. And I think because 00:22:20.670 --> 00:22:25.309 there's not a lot of country bands in New Jersey, 00:22:25.329 --> 00:22:27.670 there are some that incorporate country into 00:22:27.670 --> 00:22:31.480 their repertoire, but there's not a ton of. country 00:22:31.480 --> 00:22:34.259 music artists that are out playing nothing but 00:22:34.259 --> 00:22:36.960 country songs here in New Jersey. Life is a Highway 00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:39.619 is just one of those songs that seems to be pleasing 00:22:39.619 --> 00:22:41.700 both sides of the audience because the people 00:22:41.700 --> 00:22:44.180 that listen to country know Chris Ledoux and 00:22:44.180 --> 00:22:46.680 know Rascal Flatts. So they're pulling from that 00:22:46.680 --> 00:22:48.920 version. And then the rock people are pulling 00:22:48.920 --> 00:22:51.839 from Tom Cochran. So I think this is a nice fit 00:22:51.839 --> 00:22:54.000 coming out of Blue Rodeo because it leans into 00:22:54.000 --> 00:22:56.700 that. Is it rock? Is it country feel? So Life 00:22:56.700 --> 00:23:02.990 is a Highway. Almost guaranteed at any given 00:23:02.990 --> 00:23:06.250 time, if you tuned into a pop or a rock radio 00:23:06.250 --> 00:23:09.730 station, every hour you were going to hear Life 00:23:09.730 --> 00:23:12.589 is a Highway. You're just Canadian at that point. 00:23:12.650 --> 00:23:16.130 It doesn't matter who you were, what province 00:23:16.130 --> 00:23:18.849 you were in, what territory you were in. That 00:23:18.849 --> 00:23:23.470 song was getting played ad nauseum to the point 00:23:23.470 --> 00:23:26.049 that you were nauseous after hearing it. Now, 00:23:26.049 --> 00:23:30.950 so many years later, we like it again. It's okay. 00:23:31.049 --> 00:23:32.849 We're good with it again. But it was. It was 00:23:32.849 --> 00:23:35.390 one of those songs that got played so much. It 00:23:35.390 --> 00:23:39.170 was literally the biggest song of the year, and 00:23:39.170 --> 00:23:42.730 justifiably so. It's an absolute, for lack of 00:23:42.730 --> 00:23:45.170 a better term, it's a bop. It's a bop. Yeah. 00:23:45.569 --> 00:23:47.069 But I think I know where I'm going to go with 00:23:47.069 --> 00:23:48.829 this one. I'm going to go back another year, 00:23:48.950 --> 00:23:52.650 back to 1990, and a band called the Northern 00:23:52.650 --> 00:23:58.250 Pikes. Vocal harmonies completely on point. And 00:23:58.250 --> 00:24:00.069 I'm going to go with a song that's actually in 00:24:00.069 --> 00:24:03.089 my band's current or my cover band's set list, 00:24:03.349 --> 00:24:08.210 She Ain't Pretty. It has this very hippie, hippie 00:24:08.210 --> 00:24:12.470 shake kind of rock bar kind of feel to it. It's 00:24:12.470 --> 00:24:17.029 so much fun and almost self -knowingly just has 00:24:17.029 --> 00:24:19.309 a bit of a laugh. And, you know, if you haven't 00:24:19.309 --> 00:24:21.470 heard the song, by all means, go have a listen 00:24:21.470 --> 00:24:23.730 to pretty much anything from the Northern Pikes 00:24:23.730 --> 00:24:26.170 off of their Snow in June album, that album. 00:24:26.670 --> 00:24:30.309 was huge i had like about three songs for the 00:24:30.309 --> 00:24:33.089 northern pikes i was like whichever way we're 00:24:33.089 --> 00:24:35.269 gonna go i'm gonna squeeze a northern pike song 00:24:35.269 --> 00:24:38.009 in there because again their vocal harmonies 00:24:38.009 --> 00:24:42.150 are always on point jason i knew this moment 00:24:42.150 --> 00:24:45.170 was gonna happen at some point in this episode 00:24:45.170 --> 00:24:48.450 and it's happening now and i think it's really 00:24:48.450 --> 00:24:51.789 really cool because believe it or not i haven't 00:24:51.789 --> 00:24:55.650 heard anything by the northern pikes And I am 00:24:55.650 --> 00:24:57.890 so excited to finally get one that I'm like, 00:24:57.950 --> 00:25:01.589 ooh, something to dig into. So now because of 00:25:01.589 --> 00:25:05.109 the power of podcast editing, I'm going to snap 00:25:05.109 --> 00:25:08.529 my finger and come back and know exactly what 00:25:08.529 --> 00:25:11.950 song he's talking about. And with the snap of 00:25:11.950 --> 00:25:14.869 a finger, we're back. And I now am familiar with 00:25:14.869 --> 00:25:17.309 the Northern Pikes. Jason, this is actually kind 00:25:17.309 --> 00:25:19.730 of cool because you get to hear my first impressions 00:25:19.730 --> 00:25:23.049 of the band and their music, which is a first 00:25:23.049 --> 00:25:25.529 on this show. And the first thing I'll say is 00:25:25.529 --> 00:25:28.390 you hit the nail right on the head. Hippie hippie 00:25:28.390 --> 00:25:32.410 shake. That is a classic barroom stomp blues 00:25:32.410 --> 00:25:36.150 rocker. For me, I immediately think of Georgia 00:25:36.150 --> 00:25:38.250 Satellites, Keep Your Hands to Yourself, which 00:25:38.250 --> 00:25:40.390 is definitely a little slower, but it's one of 00:25:40.390 --> 00:25:43.289 those Eddie and the Cruisers on the dark side. 00:25:43.430 --> 00:25:45.430 Well, that's actually John Cafferty and the Beaver 00:25:45.430 --> 00:25:47.809 Brown Band, but for all intents and purposes, 00:25:47.950 --> 00:25:50.890 it's Eddie and the Cruisers. But I digress. This 00:25:50.890 --> 00:25:54.950 is a barroom stomp kind of song. And I absolutely 00:25:54.950 --> 00:25:58.470 love it. And I'm now going to be searching for 00:25:58.470 --> 00:26:01.329 this album because I just totally dig this vibe. 00:26:01.430 --> 00:26:04.789 So thank you, sir. You introduced me to a quote 00:26:04.789 --> 00:26:07.230 unquote new to me Canadian artist today. And 00:26:07.230 --> 00:26:09.670 I absolutely think that's amazing. Well, they 00:26:09.670 --> 00:26:11.730 have a number of albums and they are still actually 00:26:11.730 --> 00:26:14.789 putting music out today. Like I said, some of 00:26:14.789 --> 00:26:17.470 the songs that I was thinking of bringing in, 00:26:17.589 --> 00:26:19.490 some of them actually didn't qualify because. 00:26:19.900 --> 00:26:22.180 their Big Blue Sky album was released in 1987. 00:26:22.259 --> 00:26:24.900 So that eliminated their big song, Teen Land. 00:26:25.339 --> 00:26:28.500 The other big album that I really wanted to talk 00:26:28.500 --> 00:26:31.579 about was Neptune, their 1992 release. Because 00:26:31.579 --> 00:26:36.000 if you like She Ain't Pretty, Twister also has 00:26:36.000 --> 00:26:38.339 that same vibe, that same hippie, hippie, shake 00:26:38.339 --> 00:26:40.660 vibe. But there's a few songs on there, like 00:26:40.660 --> 00:26:44.119 Believe, that it's just, and Worlds Away. The 00:26:44.119 --> 00:26:47.640 Northern Pikes, while they didn't hit as big 00:26:47.640 --> 00:26:52.779 of a, name hit as like a tom cochran or a bare 00:26:52.779 --> 00:26:56.359 naked ladies musically in the 90s they could 00:26:56.359 --> 00:26:59.099 not be beat at least again that's personal opinion 00:26:59.099 --> 00:27:05.000 looking through my bank of songs i don't have 00:27:05.000 --> 00:27:09.660 a lot of canadian bar room stomp blues rock kind 00:27:09.660 --> 00:27:15.160 of stuff however i'm gonna put on my cover band 00:27:15.160 --> 00:27:18.640 cap for a minute and as somebody who also plays 00:27:18.640 --> 00:27:21.160 in a cover band, you'll understand where my mentality 00:27:21.160 --> 00:27:23.980 is going to head with this next song choice. 00:27:25.099 --> 00:27:28.039 The Northern Pikes gets everybody up on the dance 00:27:28.039 --> 00:27:32.440 floor. She Ain't Pretty is very much kind of 00:27:32.440 --> 00:27:36.519 like that masculine type barroom stomper. Is 00:27:36.519 --> 00:27:39.299 that a safe assumption? Having played that song 00:27:39.299 --> 00:27:43.140 live? Yes, absolutely. Okay. So let's balance 00:27:43.140 --> 00:27:46.390 that scale a little bit. And bring something 00:27:46.390 --> 00:27:50.349 in from a female perspective that certainly keeps 00:27:50.349 --> 00:27:52.710 the women up on the dance floor dancing. And 00:27:52.710 --> 00:27:54.369 if the women are on the dance floor dancing, 00:27:54.490 --> 00:27:58.130 chances are the guys are too. But I'm going to 00:27:58.130 --> 00:28:02.710 follow the stomp of the bar room stomp. And mixtaper 00:28:02.710 --> 00:28:06.309 David Owens is about to start celebrating his 00:28:06.309 --> 00:28:10.069 ass off wherever he's listening. Because I am 00:28:10.069 --> 00:28:14.039 going to go off of 1995's The Woman in Me. Shania 00:28:14.039 --> 00:28:18.460 Twain, Any Man of Mine. Now, at this time, I 00:28:18.460 --> 00:28:22.599 was in college in North Carolina. Shania Twain 00:28:22.599 --> 00:28:25.299 broke with this song. It was all over radio. 00:28:25.720 --> 00:28:29.119 Hell, Cletus T. Judd, who was like the country 00:28:29.119 --> 00:28:32.759 version of Weird Al Yankovic, did a parody of 00:28:32.759 --> 00:28:37.180 the song, If Shania Was Mine. This song was everywhere. 00:28:38.109 --> 00:28:40.930 I would have to safely say that at least a few 00:28:40.930 --> 00:28:43.230 years went by. This was, again, going back to 00:28:43.230 --> 00:28:44.990 the 90s when we couldn't just Google something 00:28:44.990 --> 00:28:48.470 instantly and get an answer. There was a good 00:28:48.470 --> 00:28:50.930 period of time before people realized that she 00:28:50.930 --> 00:28:53.990 was a Canadian artist. Everything she did with 00:28:53.990 --> 00:28:57.769 Robert Mutt Lang on these albums really spoke 00:28:57.769 --> 00:29:02.430 musically to the country music scene at the time. 00:29:02.569 --> 00:29:07.380 And she was such an it person. I'll go ahead 00:29:07.380 --> 00:29:11.140 and say it. Shania Twain was the Taylor Swift 00:29:11.140 --> 00:29:15.319 of the 90s. especially in the U S and I still 00:29:15.319 --> 00:29:17.680 feel like she holds onto a piece of that because 00:29:17.680 --> 00:29:21.099 she went from a country sound that you heard 00:29:21.099 --> 00:29:24.319 on any man of mine and then slowly morphed it 00:29:24.319 --> 00:29:27.519 into stuff that was easily accessible on both 00:29:27.519 --> 00:29:30.319 pop and country radio. So I didn't think we'd 00:29:30.319 --> 00:29:32.660 get through tonight without talking about Shania 00:29:32.660 --> 00:29:35.640 Twain. I didn't know how I'd fit it in, but coming 00:29:35.640 --> 00:29:39.039 out of the Northern pikes from a cover band perspective, 00:29:39.359 --> 00:29:42.579 any man of mine. I mentioned at the beginning 00:29:42.579 --> 00:29:45.480 of the show that we Canadians, we apologize for 00:29:45.480 --> 00:29:48.019 Celine Dion and Brian Adams on a regular basis. 00:29:48.420 --> 00:29:51.220 We do not apologize for Shania Twain. We gave 00:29:51.220 --> 00:29:55.000 her to the world. You're all welcome. It's funny. 00:29:55.759 --> 00:29:58.319 Anytime, you know, and you'll probably recognize 00:29:58.319 --> 00:30:00.960 this. Anytime you go out and you play at a show 00:30:00.960 --> 00:30:03.240 and there's always someone who wants to hear 00:30:03.240 --> 00:30:05.940 a song that maybe you don't really know how to 00:30:05.940 --> 00:30:08.539 play and you do your best and then maybe in between 00:30:08.539 --> 00:30:11.359 sets to try and quickly learn it and kind of 00:30:11.359 --> 00:30:15.880 hash out a version. We were playing in Kitchener, 00:30:15.880 --> 00:30:20.119 Ontario, and some guy came up to us and he's 00:30:20.119 --> 00:30:22.380 like, do you take requests? And we're like, well, 00:30:22.420 --> 00:30:24.740 if we know it, yeah, sure. Maybe we can figure 00:30:24.740 --> 00:30:27.660 it out. And he says, I really want to hear some 00:30:27.660 --> 00:30:29.779 Shania. I'm like, okay, okay, what Shania song? 00:30:30.019 --> 00:30:33.380 He's like, I want you to play Man, I Feel Like 00:30:33.380 --> 00:30:36.039 a Woman. It's my song. And I'm like, dude, that's 00:30:36.039 --> 00:30:39.730 your song? Okay. really really wanted us to play 00:30:39.730 --> 00:30:42.369 man i feel like a woman we had to learn it in 00:30:42.369 --> 00:30:45.470 a very short span of time and dude lost his itch 00:30:45.470 --> 00:30:48.170 like this was very much a we've got 15 minutes 00:30:48.170 --> 00:30:50.630 in between sets let's very quickly figure out 00:30:50.630 --> 00:30:53.029 how to play this song we probably butchered it 00:30:53.029 --> 00:30:55.390 but it actually ended up in our set list and 00:30:55.390 --> 00:31:00.210 does not matter the club that we play in that 00:31:00.210 --> 00:31:04.069 song man i feel like a woman is going to get 00:31:04.069 --> 00:31:07.259 people on the dance floor dancing no matter anything 00:31:07.259 --> 00:31:10.140 Shania Twain does really is going to get people 00:31:10.140 --> 00:31:14.359 on the dance floor it's you can't deny she was 00:31:14.359 --> 00:31:16.500 and probably still is one of the biggest country 00:31:16.500 --> 00:31:18.839 stars out there the fact that she's out and touring 00:31:18.839 --> 00:31:22.319 again I was wondering if Shania Twain was going 00:31:22.319 --> 00:31:23.960 to come up. And then I was like, OK, I know where 00:31:23.960 --> 00:31:26.140 I'm going to go after Shania Twain, because there 00:31:26.140 --> 00:31:28.519 was this story about Shania Twain playing the 00:31:28.519 --> 00:31:31.599 show and bringing up this young girl from Napanee 00:31:31.599 --> 00:31:33.519 on stage to sing with her. And that girl was 00:31:33.519 --> 00:31:36.960 Avril Lavigne. But Avril's albums came out after 00:31:36.960 --> 00:31:39.579 1999, so I couldn't actually go there. But I 00:31:39.579 --> 00:31:42.019 know where I'm going to go with. And I'm going 00:31:42.019 --> 00:31:46.380 to go with. Halifax, Nova Scotia's Melanie Doan 00:31:46.380 --> 00:31:48.900 offered the album Adam's Rib. I'm going to go 00:31:48.900 --> 00:31:52.599 with the title track. I mentioned that a lot 00:31:52.599 --> 00:31:57.180 of the maritime artists had a very Celtic feel 00:31:57.180 --> 00:32:00.700 to it, and Melanie Doan's Adam's Rib album had 00:32:00.700 --> 00:32:04.799 a lot of violin work on it. The entire album, 00:32:04.960 --> 00:32:08.539 if you like female singer -songwriters, this 00:32:08.539 --> 00:32:12.470 album is a must. listened to and it got played 00:32:12.470 --> 00:32:16.109 a lot not just on the radio but her songs off 00:32:16.109 --> 00:32:18.230 of this album ended up in shows like party of 00:32:18.230 --> 00:32:21.890 five baywatch buffy the vampire slayer brothers 00:32:21.890 --> 00:32:25.549 and sisters resurrection boulevard like that 00:32:25.549 --> 00:32:30.609 album hit everywhere and if you want some good 00:32:30.609 --> 00:32:34.410 middle of the road not like feels but like medium 00:32:34.410 --> 00:32:40.160 tempo violin influenced singer songwriter Pop 00:32:40.160 --> 00:32:43.339 rock. This album is must listen to Adam's Rib 00:32:43.339 --> 00:32:47.140 by Melanie Doan. What a great pick. I am familiar 00:32:47.140 --> 00:32:49.740 with her stuff from Party of Five, but Adam's 00:32:49.740 --> 00:32:52.799 Rib. This is kind of like at the time. Now I'm 00:32:52.799 --> 00:32:54.839 thinking this is kind of like Canada's answer 00:32:54.839 --> 00:32:58.099 to Sheryl Crow. Would that be a good comparison 00:32:58.099 --> 00:33:00.740 at the time where musically this was headed? 00:33:00.960 --> 00:33:04.000 Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. And the funny thing 00:33:04.000 --> 00:33:06.500 is, aside from being a phenomenal songwriter 00:33:06.500 --> 00:33:09.900 in her own right, her brother. is also a drummer, 00:33:10.039 --> 00:33:12.880 Creighton Doan, and has done a lot of work with 00:33:12.880 --> 00:33:15.279 Harem Scarum, who, of course, I try and squeeze 00:33:15.279 --> 00:33:17.380 in every possible chance I get whenever I get 00:33:17.380 --> 00:33:20.480 to talk about music. Harem Scarum is one of those 00:33:20.480 --> 00:33:22.720 bands that when we covered them on, there could 00:33:22.720 --> 00:33:24.640 only be one. I realized, holy crap, there's 15 00:33:24.640 --> 00:33:29.599 albums of Harem Scarum and just a wonderful collection 00:33:29.599 --> 00:33:32.059 of music if you're into that. But Melanie Doan's 00:33:32.059 --> 00:33:36.160 stuff is also so, so good. And this album, I 00:33:36.160 --> 00:33:39.339 swear to God, I had it on repeat. in my Discman 00:33:39.339 --> 00:33:42.660 as I was commuting to and from work. Whatever 00:33:42.660 --> 00:33:46.000 you like, there's a song for you on this album. 00:33:46.640 --> 00:33:50.220 And that is how I'm going to follow it up. We 00:33:50.220 --> 00:33:53.940 had Shania Twain, we have Melanie Doan, and I 00:33:53.940 --> 00:33:56.900 get to end Side A. So I'm going to go with an 00:33:56.900 --> 00:34:01.700 album that in 1995, I could not turn off and 00:34:01.700 --> 00:34:04.779 I could not stop listening to. Now, for me at 00:34:04.779 --> 00:34:09.630 the time, this was... a brand new artist that 00:34:09.630 --> 00:34:11.489 just so happened to be on one of my favorite 00:34:11.489 --> 00:34:13.929 Nickelodeon shows growing up. However, to you 00:34:13.929 --> 00:34:17.429 and the rest of Canada, this was her third album. 00:34:17.630 --> 00:34:21.389 But to the United States, Jagged Little Pill. 00:34:21.980 --> 00:34:24.760 was the introduction to Alanis Morissette. And 00:34:24.760 --> 00:34:27.039 because it's the end of the side, I just want 00:34:27.039 --> 00:34:30.039 to go home and end the side with a banger that 00:34:30.039 --> 00:34:33.659 offsets Sandbox's Curious. So we'll go with You 00:34:33.659 --> 00:34:36.900 Oughta Know, the song that she closes every show 00:34:36.900 --> 00:34:40.159 with, the song that introduced this new version 00:34:40.159 --> 00:34:44.780 of Alanis Morissette to Canada and Alanis Morissette 00:34:44.780 --> 00:34:47.920 to the rest of the world. Obviously, I could 00:34:47.920 --> 00:34:51.219 pick anything. off of Jagged Little Pill. My 00:34:51.219 --> 00:34:54.320 favorite song from this album is actually Mary 00:34:54.320 --> 00:34:56.519 Jane. I know that's a little bit of a deeper 00:34:56.519 --> 00:35:00.099 cut, but that one always hit with me. I saw the 00:35:00.099 --> 00:35:04.099 Jagged Little Pill tour in a facility in Raleigh, 00:35:04.099 --> 00:35:07.000 North Carolina with about 500 people. The band 00:35:07.000 --> 00:35:10.280 Loud Lucy opened up with Alanis Morissette. On 00:35:10.280 --> 00:35:13.440 drums for Alanis Morissette, Taylor Hawkins. 00:35:13.960 --> 00:35:17.400 And they played basically the album front to 00:35:17.400 --> 00:35:20.809 back. And I fell in love with Alanis as an artist. 00:35:21.090 --> 00:35:23.769 I fell in love with Taylor Hawkins drumming. 00:35:23.989 --> 00:35:26.070 Like everything about it was perfect. A year 00:35:26.070 --> 00:35:30.050 later, we were seeing her at an arena with garbage 00:35:30.050 --> 00:35:34.510 opening for them. You can't talk about a Canadian's 00:35:34.510 --> 00:35:37.510 impact on rock and pop music in the 90s without 00:35:37.510 --> 00:35:40.070 talking about Alanis. So closing out Side A, 00:35:40.150 --> 00:35:42.190 Alanis Morissette, you ought to know. And you 00:35:42.190 --> 00:35:43.710 ought to know she was going to make this playlist. 00:35:44.170 --> 00:35:47.590 Well, it's funny too, because Alanis. And I both 00:35:47.590 --> 00:35:51.730 grew up in Ottawa. So we got to hear a lot of 00:35:51.730 --> 00:35:53.989 those first two albums when they first came out. 00:35:54.010 --> 00:35:56.489 Of course, she sang the anthem at the very first 00:35:56.489 --> 00:35:59.090 Ottawa Senators home game where they actually 00:35:59.090 --> 00:36:01.170 beat the Montreal Canadiens and then proceeded 00:36:01.170 --> 00:36:02.889 to have one of the worst records that entire 00:36:02.889 --> 00:36:06.969 NHL season. So, yay, I guess. But, you know. 00:36:07.389 --> 00:36:10.369 But the funny thing is, when that album came 00:36:10.369 --> 00:36:14.219 out. we were so used to hearing her dance stuff 00:36:14.219 --> 00:36:18.280 you know never too hot and plastic and then all 00:36:18.280 --> 00:36:19.960 of a sudden this album comes to like whoa what 00:36:19.960 --> 00:36:23.239 the hell happened i'll agree with you that while 00:36:23.239 --> 00:36:26.059 you want to know is a good song my favorite one 00:36:26.059 --> 00:36:28.460 off that album one i actually had on my list 00:36:28.460 --> 00:36:30.920 so you kind of scooped me on this one was forgiven 00:36:30.920 --> 00:36:34.920 which ended one of the great oh so good My wife, 00:36:34.980 --> 00:36:36.880 Carrie, and I actually recently went to go see 00:36:36.880 --> 00:36:39.320 the Toronto production of Jagged Little Pill. 00:36:39.500 --> 00:36:43.039 And if you have not had a chance to go see this 00:36:43.039 --> 00:36:47.539 stage play, go see it. It takes a lot of her 00:36:47.539 --> 00:36:51.159 music and reimagines it into the story to the 00:36:51.159 --> 00:36:53.900 point of I would love to see this play. And Carrie 00:36:53.900 --> 00:36:56.900 mentioned this on a recent episode of Keep Watch 00:36:56.900 --> 00:37:00.460 Pass. We would love to see this play get the 00:37:00.460 --> 00:37:03.590 Hamilton movie treatment where they just. tape 00:37:03.590 --> 00:37:06.750 the stage play rather than turn it into a scripted 00:37:06.750 --> 00:37:11.719 movie and because it is so well done Been on 00:37:11.719 --> 00:37:14.119 my list to see. I'm hoping to make this year 00:37:14.119 --> 00:37:16.400 the year I check it off my bucket list. And I'm 00:37:16.400 --> 00:37:19.039 also hoping to make this year the year that you 00:37:19.039 --> 00:37:21.800 stumble across those first two albums for me 00:37:21.800 --> 00:37:24.199 because they're up in Canada. I can't find them 00:37:24.199 --> 00:37:27.420 in all of my hunting here in the US. So I got 00:37:27.420 --> 00:37:30.260 to throw you on a mission. I need to find Alanis' 00:37:30.360 --> 00:37:33.440 first two albums on CD. So to my friend up in 00:37:33.440 --> 00:37:35.380 Canada, maybe you can make that happen for me 00:37:35.380 --> 00:37:36.440 this year. I'm going to have to put together 00:37:36.440 --> 00:37:38.420 like a Canadian care package. There'll be some 00:37:38.420 --> 00:37:40.559 Northern Pikes in there. There'll be some Atlanta. 00:37:41.190 --> 00:37:44.409 We'll get a few in there for you. Rock and roll. 00:37:44.489 --> 00:37:47.969 And that, folks, closes up side A of our ultimate 00:37:47.969 --> 00:37:51.170 90s Canadian artists mixtape, which kicked off 00:37:51.170 --> 00:37:54.480 with Sandbox's Curious. Tal Bachman's She's So 00:37:54.480 --> 00:37:57.539 High, Crash Test Dummies' The Ghosts That Haunt 00:37:57.539 --> 00:38:00.960 Me, Neil Young's Harvest Moon, Blue Rodeo's Trust 00:38:00.960 --> 00:38:04.219 Yourself, Tom Cochran's Life is a Highway, The 00:38:04.219 --> 00:38:07.420 Northern Pikes' She Ain't Pretty, Shania Twain's 00:38:07.420 --> 00:38:10.880 Any Man of Mine, Melanie Doan's Adam's Rib, and 00:38:10.880 --> 00:38:13.840 Alanis Morissette's You Oughta Know. Head over 00:38:13.840 --> 00:38:16.659 to MyWeeklyMixtape .com to hear all the songs 00:38:16.659 --> 00:38:19.869 we've discussed in this mix. through the playlist 00:38:19.869 --> 00:38:22.869 embedded on the episode page. Now, before we 00:38:22.869 --> 00:38:25.250 flip our proverbial mixtape over to Side B, Jason, 00:38:25.329 --> 00:38:27.510 why don't you catch everybody up on what's been 00:38:27.510 --> 00:38:30.510 happening over at It's Not That Bad and There 00:38:30.510 --> 00:38:33.309 Can Only Be One because you had mentioned something 00:38:33.309 --> 00:38:35.869 a little earlier about some new additions to 00:38:35.869 --> 00:38:39.420 your family of pods. Yeah, we are growing the 00:38:39.420 --> 00:38:42.500 shows. It feels exponentially at this point because 00:38:42.500 --> 00:38:45.340 we have two new shows that are kind of out there. 00:38:45.460 --> 00:38:48.340 On It's Not That Bad on Mondays, you now get 00:38:48.340 --> 00:38:50.079 what's called Keep Watch Pass. And if you've 00:38:50.079 --> 00:38:52.860 ever played Mary Boff Kill, and I'll say it that 00:38:52.860 --> 00:38:54.559 way because, you know, we don't want to hit the 00:38:54.559 --> 00:38:56.889 censor button. It's kind of the same theory where 00:38:56.889 --> 00:38:58.710 we'll take a topic and we'll pick three movies, 00:38:58.909 --> 00:39:01.130 one that you would keep, one that you would watch 00:39:01.130 --> 00:39:03.429 and one that you would pass on. Obviously, you 00:39:03.429 --> 00:39:05.710 kind of get the idea of how that goes. But then 00:39:05.710 --> 00:39:08.909 over on there can only be one. There's that new 00:39:08.909 --> 00:39:11.030 show that's coming every other week to fill the 00:39:11.030 --> 00:39:13.329 gap because it takes a while to go through some 00:39:13.329 --> 00:39:15.269 of these discographies and we have to fill in. 00:39:15.369 --> 00:39:18.369 You know, you all deserve more than a show every 00:39:18.369 --> 00:39:20.909 two weeks. So now on the off week, you get a 00:39:20.909 --> 00:39:23.889 show called Spin, Shuffle, Skip. Same theory. 00:39:24.309 --> 00:39:27.769 One album. Three songs. One that you would spin 00:39:27.769 --> 00:39:30.070 anytime. One that if it comes on during shuffle 00:39:30.070 --> 00:39:33.289 play, yeah, all for it. And one that you would 00:39:33.289 --> 00:39:35.489 actually hit the skip button on. Not necessarily 00:39:35.489 --> 00:39:38.250 that it's a bad song, but sometimes you do have 00:39:38.250 --> 00:39:40.510 to pick one. Sometimes you want to pick the whole 00:39:40.510 --> 00:39:42.449 album, but that depends on the album. But the 00:39:42.449 --> 00:39:44.690 nice thing about Spin, Shuffle, Skip is that 00:39:44.690 --> 00:39:48.630 it allows us to... tackle artists that don't 00:39:48.630 --> 00:39:51.449 have the five album prerequisite that we use 00:39:51.449 --> 00:39:53.710 for there can only be one but it also allows 00:39:53.710 --> 00:39:57.110 us to talk about soundtracks as well so there's 00:39:57.110 --> 00:39:58.590 gonna be a lot of different artists that we're 00:39:58.590 --> 00:40:00.710 now going to be able to talk about that we weren't 00:40:00.710 --> 00:40:03.590 able to talk about before and you know brian 00:40:03.590 --> 00:40:04.989 that we're going to have to drag you on there 00:40:04.989 --> 00:40:07.449 for a few episodes well i've already sent my 00:40:07.449 --> 00:40:10.449 list of like 25 or 50 albums over to you and 00:40:10.449 --> 00:40:12.289 you know i've been wanting to talk the interrupters 00:40:12.289 --> 00:40:15.050 for quite a while oh yes i can't wait to make 00:40:15.050 --> 00:40:16.679 that happen Well, don't worry. We're going to 00:40:16.679 --> 00:40:18.179 get the calendar. We're going to schedule that 00:40:18.179 --> 00:40:22.159 one in. That's going to happen. Amen. And now 00:40:22.159 --> 00:40:24.659 we're going to flip things over to side B and 00:40:24.659 --> 00:40:27.699 I get to kick things off. And you know what? 00:40:28.239 --> 00:40:32.360 I'm a sucker for album opening tracks. And I 00:40:32.360 --> 00:40:36.000 know you and I both have this band in our list, 00:40:36.099 --> 00:40:39.059 along with Patreon mixtape or Cactus Pete, who 00:40:39.059 --> 00:40:42.500 also mentioned these guys. And I have to be the 00:40:42.500 --> 00:40:47.619 scooper on this one. Because just a few weeks 00:40:47.619 --> 00:40:50.820 ago, episode 52, we did the Ultimate Rush playlist. 00:40:51.179 --> 00:40:54.400 And I get to go back to Rush. Of course, we're 00:40:54.400 --> 00:40:56.699 going to talk about Rush. But I'm going to go 00:40:56.699 --> 00:41:00.800 with the opening track from 1993's Counterparts. 00:41:00.980 --> 00:41:04.219 And I'm going to go with Animate, one of my favorite 00:41:04.219 --> 00:41:07.980 90s Rush tunes. this album kind of came at a 00:41:07.980 --> 00:41:10.679 turning point for the band because music was 00:41:10.679 --> 00:41:13.519 changing at the time this was in the 90s and 00:41:13.519 --> 00:41:16.920 you were ushering out that 80s sound and ushering 00:41:16.920 --> 00:41:20.699 in this new grunge and alternative sound and 00:41:20.699 --> 00:41:23.619 rush has always been a band that was able to 00:41:23.619 --> 00:41:26.219 follow Actually, I don't want to use the word 00:41:26.219 --> 00:41:29.179 follow. They were able to respond in a rush way 00:41:29.179 --> 00:41:32.760 to where the music scene was headed. So in the 00:41:32.760 --> 00:41:35.219 80s, when synth became more popular, they were 00:41:35.219 --> 00:41:38.000 able to evolve their sound to include that, but 00:41:38.000 --> 00:41:40.719 still remain distinctly rush. And now in the 00:41:40.719 --> 00:41:42.559 90s, when that was all getting stripped back, 00:41:42.800 --> 00:41:45.639 they were able to do the same, but not strip 00:41:45.639 --> 00:41:48.960 it back to the 70s sound. include where they 00:41:48.960 --> 00:41:52.139 came from throughout the 80s and turn it into 00:41:52.139 --> 00:41:55.179 something that was once again distinctly Rush. 00:41:55.460 --> 00:41:58.619 And we talk about it more on episode 52. So if 00:41:58.619 --> 00:42:01.039 you're a Rush fanatic, I highly suggest checking 00:42:01.039 --> 00:42:04.750 that episode out. But man. There was no way we 00:42:04.750 --> 00:42:07.110 weren't talking about Rush. I knew it was happening. 00:42:07.190 --> 00:42:10.769 I apologize because I probably scooped your closer, 00:42:11.050 --> 00:42:13.809 but we got to get some Animate love in there. 00:42:13.909 --> 00:42:15.869 And, you know, it's kind of fitting because it's 00:42:15.869 --> 00:42:18.429 the opening track on side B of our playlist and 00:42:18.429 --> 00:42:21.409 it's the opening track on Counterparts. I will 00:42:21.409 --> 00:42:24.670 say that you did scoop me on band, album and 00:42:24.670 --> 00:42:28.550 song on that one because Animate might actually 00:42:28.550 --> 00:42:31.110 be like. At some point, there's going to be a 00:42:31.110 --> 00:42:33.630 rush that can only be one. And I will say that 00:42:33.630 --> 00:42:37.070 Animate is a very strong contender for my only 00:42:37.070 --> 00:42:42.289 one of their entire studio discography. That 00:42:42.289 --> 00:42:45.369 song, that album, that whole album. Animate's 00:42:45.369 --> 00:42:47.889 a great song. admittedly, nobody's hero was the 00:42:47.889 --> 00:42:50.690 bigger single off of that one with this wonderful 00:42:50.690 --> 00:42:53.010 video that was done in black and white by Matt 00:42:53.010 --> 00:42:55.130 Meheran, who did a lot of work with Queensryche 00:42:55.130 --> 00:42:57.170 at the time, because that was around that empire 00:42:57.170 --> 00:43:01.289 time as well. So the video had that very, uh, 00:43:01.369 --> 00:43:03.170 another rainy night without you kind of feel 00:43:03.170 --> 00:43:05.929 to it. So the fact that that song was getting 00:43:05.929 --> 00:43:08.670 a lot of airplay introduced a lot of us to the 00:43:08.670 --> 00:43:10.550 song animate the minute we picked up that album 00:43:10.550 --> 00:43:13.769 coming off of roll the bones too. It was such, 00:43:13.789 --> 00:43:16.349 there was a. For lack of a better term, there's 00:43:16.349 --> 00:43:18.269 a lot more hair on the balls on this album than 00:43:18.269 --> 00:43:20.510 there was on Roll the Bones. Oh, they stripped 00:43:20.510 --> 00:43:22.690 it down for Animate. And that's what I love about 00:43:22.690 --> 00:43:25.809 it. It's that guitar sound that people were missing 00:43:25.809 --> 00:43:29.289 from, I will say, all the way back as far as 00:43:29.289 --> 00:43:33.010 moving pictures. Oh, yeah. This was the goodbye 00:43:33.010 --> 00:43:36.070 to the synth era kind of feel and definitely 00:43:36.070 --> 00:43:39.170 led into Vapor Trails afterwards very well. I 00:43:39.170 --> 00:43:41.489 know where I'm going to go with this. And I've 00:43:41.489 --> 00:43:44.329 been hoping that I get to say this band's name 00:43:44.329 --> 00:43:47.050 because I still have the mindset of a 13 year 00:43:47.050 --> 00:43:49.690 old boy and it makes me giggle. And I'm going 00:43:49.690 --> 00:43:52.610 to go with another opening track from the Rainbow 00:43:52.610 --> 00:43:55.929 Butt Monkeys. And if you don't know who the Rainbow 00:43:55.929 --> 00:43:59.510 Butt Monkeys are, they had one album out. The 00:43:59.510 --> 00:44:01.710 album was Letters from Chutney. Yep. Yep. The 00:44:01.710 --> 00:44:04.329 Rainbow Butt Monkeys shortly thereafter changed 00:44:04.329 --> 00:44:08.219 their name to Finger Eleven. So this is the very 00:44:08.219 --> 00:44:11.559 first ever Finger Eleven album. The song is called 00:44:11.559 --> 00:44:15.159 As Far As I Can Spit. And this album, A, the 00:44:15.159 --> 00:44:17.059 fact that they were called the Rainbow Buttmonkeys 00:44:17.059 --> 00:44:19.460 may be one of the worst slash best names ever 00:44:19.460 --> 00:44:23.719 in music history, but it's so good. And recently, 00:44:23.860 --> 00:44:27.099 as old as like five years ago or so ago, they 00:44:27.099 --> 00:44:29.920 reunited, quote unquote, as the Rainbow Buttmonkeys 00:44:29.920 --> 00:44:32.480 and performed this album at the Sound of Music 00:44:32.480 --> 00:44:36.190 Festival in Burlington, Ontario. Fans of Letters 00:44:36.190 --> 00:44:38.750 from Chutney, they got served. But I'm going 00:44:38.750 --> 00:44:42.110 to go with As Far As I Can Spit. Love it, love 00:44:42.110 --> 00:44:44.969 it, love it. One of the greatest. Honestly, I'll 00:44:44.969 --> 00:44:48.030 say it. I like the name better than Finger Eleven. 00:44:48.349 --> 00:44:51.449 And if you Google Rainbow Butt Monkeys right 00:44:51.449 --> 00:44:54.230 now, you're getting Finger Eleven as your first 00:44:54.230 --> 00:44:56.610 search result. Like, they're kind of synonymous. 00:44:57.329 --> 00:44:59.949 And I love the fact that you went with that and 00:44:59.949 --> 00:45:03.210 not one of the Finger Eleven songs. That's really 00:45:03.210 --> 00:45:06.889 kind of going back deeper into the band's history. 00:45:07.150 --> 00:45:09.730 And that is definitely a piece of the Canada 00:45:09.730 --> 00:45:13.570 side of the band that I discovered after discovering 00:45:13.570 --> 00:45:18.210 Finger Eleven in the US. I can just imagine people 00:45:18.210 --> 00:45:20.809 calling up and trying to say with a straight 00:45:20.809 --> 00:45:23.329 face, yeah, can you play some Rainbow Butt Monkey? 00:45:25.070 --> 00:45:27.690 Again, brain of a 13 -year -old boy, I apologize. 00:45:28.460 --> 00:45:31.960 Not at all. I love the pick. I love the song. 00:45:32.019 --> 00:45:34.500 And I know exactly what I'm going to do because 00:45:34.500 --> 00:45:38.599 we are going to start side B with a trio of album 00:45:38.599 --> 00:45:42.460 opening songs. I have a feeling I'm scooping 00:45:42.460 --> 00:45:44.900 you again here because we're leaning more rock. 00:45:44.980 --> 00:45:47.800 So this is where I start to think, ooh, I'm definitely 00:45:47.800 --> 00:45:51.289 probably. picking songs that you probably have 00:45:51.289 --> 00:45:54.250 in your immediate hit list. And I want to give 00:45:54.250 --> 00:45:58.210 a shout out one more time to Patreon mixtaper, 00:45:58.230 --> 00:46:01.170 Philip Bergman. He chimed in with potato girl, 00:46:01.230 --> 00:46:04.409 but I am going to go with our lady pieces, album 00:46:04.409 --> 00:46:09.250 opening track from clumsy, the killer Superman's 00:46:09.250 --> 00:46:13.550 dead. This song, the first time I heard it, I 00:46:13.550 --> 00:46:16.909 said, this rocks like no other. And there was 00:46:16.909 --> 00:46:21.460 this groove to it. that almost echoed Lachini's 00:46:21.460 --> 00:46:24.699 Juice by Live. There was this kind of swagger 00:46:24.699 --> 00:46:29.219 and groove to the song that was both heavy and 00:46:29.219 --> 00:46:32.079 you bobbed your head to it. And I had a chance 00:46:32.079 --> 00:46:36.699 to see Our Lady Peace, Oleander, and Creed the 00:46:36.699 --> 00:46:40.500 night before Human Clay was released at Irving 00:46:40.500 --> 00:46:43.219 Plaza in New York City. And when they played 00:46:43.219 --> 00:46:47.159 Superman's Dead, they tore. the roof off of Irving 00:46:47.159 --> 00:46:50.719 Plaza. I absolutely love this track. So following 00:46:50.719 --> 00:46:54.139 up the rainbow, but monkeys can't believe I said 00:46:54.139 --> 00:46:58.500 that our lady piece Superman's dead. Talk about 00:46:58.500 --> 00:47:02.079 songs. When you sing along in your car, like 00:47:02.079 --> 00:47:05.539 we did with, she's so high. Oh, you know, the 00:47:05.539 --> 00:47:09.119 stuff he's doing with the owl. Like that's, that's 00:47:09.119 --> 00:47:13.619 not easy to hit, but it's so. Amazing. Love this 00:47:13.619 --> 00:47:16.000 track so much. And right now, every Canadian 00:47:16.000 --> 00:47:22.039 sitting there going. I will say you scooped me 00:47:22.039 --> 00:47:24.460 on the band, but all the songs that I had in 00:47:24.460 --> 00:47:27.099 my back pocket were all off of the previous album, 00:47:27.340 --> 00:47:29.699 Navid. Which I figured. Yeah, because especially 00:47:29.699 --> 00:47:31.880 because the bass tone on that album was like 00:47:31.880 --> 00:47:35.079 you listen to that first song or Navid, the title 00:47:35.079 --> 00:47:38.420 track from that album and the bass tone on it 00:47:38.420 --> 00:47:44.050 is so. nasty and tasty at the same time. So completely 00:47:44.050 --> 00:47:47.730 agree that OLP needed to be on the list. But 00:47:47.730 --> 00:47:50.889 the question is, where do I go from there? You 00:47:50.889 --> 00:47:53.769 know what? I'm going to stick with the bass tone 00:47:53.769 --> 00:47:55.989 idea, even though Superman's that isn't exactly 00:47:55.989 --> 00:47:59.789 the bass tone song for them. But you're going 00:47:59.789 --> 00:48:02.909 to get a twofer on this one. The song is called 00:48:02.909 --> 00:48:08.230 Earth, Sky and Sea. From the phenomenal band, 00:48:08.429 --> 00:48:12.110 I Mother Earth. But here's where the twofer comes 00:48:12.110 --> 00:48:15.030 in. Because doing a little bit of the guitar 00:48:15.030 --> 00:48:19.150 work on this song is Mr. Alex Lifeson from Rush. 00:48:19.590 --> 00:48:23.309 This song, as a bassist, you're going to completely 00:48:23.309 --> 00:48:25.889 geek out on this because there's a ton of slap 00:48:25.889 --> 00:48:29.170 bass on this. There's a phenomenal breakdown 00:48:29.170 --> 00:48:33.309 in the middle of the song. It closes the Scenery 00:48:33.309 --> 00:48:36.130 and Fish album. And this was actually the last 00:48:36.130 --> 00:48:39.230 album before Edwin went off to do a solo career 00:48:39.230 --> 00:48:41.489 and they had to change singers. Now Edwin's back 00:48:41.489 --> 00:48:43.769 with I Mother Earth. So we're all good there. 00:48:43.809 --> 00:48:46.150 Things are back to normal. Earth, Sky and Sea, 00:48:46.190 --> 00:48:48.949 I think, is my favorite song from their entire 00:48:48.949 --> 00:48:51.969 discography. I think you and I are on the exact 00:48:51.969 --> 00:48:54.650 same page there. It is my favorite song from 00:48:54.650 --> 00:48:57.429 them. As soon as you said the song name, I'm 00:48:57.429 --> 00:48:59.429 like, we're going with some Alex Lyson here. 00:48:59.489 --> 00:49:03.909 All right. I love it. Fantastic song coming out 00:49:03.909 --> 00:49:07.409 of. Our Lady piece. I love the, dare I call it, 00:49:07.449 --> 00:49:10.489 almost tribal -like opening to the song before 00:49:10.489 --> 00:49:13.070 the funky rhythm kind of kicks in. It really 00:49:13.070 --> 00:49:15.690 kind of eases you into this track. And this is 00:49:15.690 --> 00:49:18.150 a longer track. This is seven minutes. This has 00:49:18.150 --> 00:49:21.769 got a lot to digest, but it's all so damn good. 00:49:22.110 --> 00:49:24.449 The challenge here lies in the fact that this 00:49:24.449 --> 00:49:27.789 is an album closing track, and it's pretty friggin' 00:49:27.809 --> 00:49:31.110 epic. It's kind of hard to... pivot off of, but 00:49:31.110 --> 00:49:34.030 I'm going to do my best and try to pivot us a 00:49:34.030 --> 00:49:35.630 little bit because this kind of, you know, we 00:49:35.630 --> 00:49:38.449 got that little Prague kind of tinge going through 00:49:38.449 --> 00:49:40.349 here a little bit, but we haven't brought any 00:49:40.349 --> 00:49:43.769 female artists onto this side. And I feel like 00:49:43.769 --> 00:49:46.570 we need to do that. The one thing's for certain 00:49:46.570 --> 00:49:48.849 with I Mother Earth, there's an energy to this 00:49:48.849 --> 00:49:51.929 song that's undeniable. And I think that's what 00:49:51.929 --> 00:49:54.349 I'm going to tap into for the song I'm heading 00:49:54.349 --> 00:49:57.260 to next. So I'm going to kind of lean a little 00:49:57.260 --> 00:50:00.159 bit towards the latter half of the decade and 00:50:00.159 --> 00:50:05.679 go back to 1998. And I would call this artist 00:50:05.679 --> 00:50:10.980 Canada's answer to Garbage and Republica. And 00:50:10.980 --> 00:50:14.199 I'm going to go with Biff Naked and Spaceman 00:50:14.199 --> 00:50:19.440 from Ibificus. To me, that was such a essential 00:50:19.440 --> 00:50:24.219 sound of the 90s. rock fused with a little bit 00:50:24.219 --> 00:50:26.500 of dance fused with a little bit of punk thrown 00:50:26.500 --> 00:50:29.159 in for good measure and it created this sound 00:50:29.159 --> 00:50:34.039 that was very much a moment of the 90s and to 00:50:34.039 --> 00:50:38.219 me listening to Garbage's i'm only happy when 00:50:38.219 --> 00:50:41.900 it rains into republica's ready to go into biff 00:50:41.900 --> 00:50:46.449 naked spaceman Just works as a vibe So I know 00:50:46.449 --> 00:50:48.289 it's a little bit of a pivot here musically, 00:50:48.409 --> 00:50:50.909 but the energy is what I'm going for here. And 00:50:50.909 --> 00:50:54.250 that simply can't be denied. Spaceman from Biff 00:50:54.250 --> 00:50:57.889 Naked. Oh, I mean, Biff Naked, A, just cool as 00:50:57.889 --> 00:51:00.369 hell. Absolutely cool as hell. And that album, 00:51:00.530 --> 00:51:04.510 like, oh, Lucky Ones off that album is such a 00:51:04.510 --> 00:51:07.949 phenomenal ballad. And then, of course, doing 00:51:07.949 --> 00:51:10.630 her song, I Love Myself Today, you know, shortly 00:51:10.630 --> 00:51:14.769 after that. Again, phenomenal, phenomenal. Holy 00:51:14.769 --> 00:51:17.809 crap, where do I go from there? I think I know 00:51:17.809 --> 00:51:20.670 where I want to go from there. Oh, no, I know. 00:51:20.690 --> 00:51:23.250 I know exactly where I'm going to go from there. 00:51:23.769 --> 00:51:26.550 Maybe you haven't heard this artist yet, but 00:51:26.550 --> 00:51:29.409 we're going to stay in the female rock genre. 00:51:29.989 --> 00:51:33.130 And I'm going to go with Holly McNarland off 00:51:33.130 --> 00:51:37.889 of her 1997 album Stuff. And I'm going to go 00:51:37.889 --> 00:51:42.769 with Numb, the lead track off of this one. It 00:51:42.769 --> 00:51:46.250 was a harder, not necessarily hard as far as 00:51:46.250 --> 00:51:51.469 like metal goes, but a harder, raw kind of rock 00:51:51.469 --> 00:51:54.849 singer songwriter kind of feel. She's been compared 00:51:54.849 --> 00:51:57.630 to a Lance Morissette and Fiona Apple as well 00:51:57.630 --> 00:52:00.449 around that time. So if you're looking for another 00:52:00.449 --> 00:52:04.369 good and this is her debut album and it blew 00:52:04.369 --> 00:52:09.449 everyone away, at least her debut major label 00:52:09.449 --> 00:52:12.130 album, I should I should point that out. This 00:52:12.130 --> 00:52:14.869 is definitely one of those artists that I wonder 00:52:14.869 --> 00:52:18.750 how in a world where the cranberries were so 00:52:18.750 --> 00:52:23.530 massive. She did not gain as much appeal in the 00:52:23.530 --> 00:52:26.349 US because that is definitely more an artist 00:52:26.349 --> 00:52:30.849 that I feel like stayed in the Canada space more 00:52:30.849 --> 00:52:35.730 than actually making the jump into the US. Oh, 00:52:35.769 --> 00:52:38.610 I mean, that album, that stuff album had a lot 00:52:38.610 --> 00:52:42.699 of. not necessarily like linger cranberries kind 00:52:42.699 --> 00:52:44.900 of feel, but songs like salvation and zombie. 00:52:45.059 --> 00:52:47.079 That was the kind of feel you were getting off 00:52:47.079 --> 00:52:50.000 of this album. It was raw. It was in your face 00:52:50.000 --> 00:52:53.619 and you couldn't escape just how good that album 00:52:53.619 --> 00:52:55.980 was. And what I'm going to do is I'm going to 00:52:55.980 --> 00:52:59.179 lean into an artist following up Holly McNarland 00:52:59.179 --> 00:53:01.260 and Biff naked. I'm going to, we're going to 00:53:01.260 --> 00:53:04.400 do another trio of the ladies on side B as well. 00:53:04.800 --> 00:53:07.360 And I'm going to go with a song that depending 00:53:07.360 --> 00:53:10.510 on where you were, you discovered at different 00:53:10.510 --> 00:53:13.989 times. If you were from Canada, you discovered 00:53:13.989 --> 00:53:18.570 this song in 1993 on one album. And if you're 00:53:18.570 --> 00:53:22.829 in the U S you discovered it in 1994 on another. 00:53:23.170 --> 00:53:26.050 And that song is called. I would die for you. 00:53:26.230 --> 00:53:30.789 The artist is Jan Arden. And in 1993, it was 00:53:30.789 --> 00:53:34.150 released on her time for mercy album. However, 00:53:35.660 --> 00:53:39.079 1994's Living in June was how I discovered the 00:53:39.079 --> 00:53:43.400 track because it was a bonus track on the international 00:53:43.400 --> 00:53:47.519 version of the release, meaning in the US. I 00:53:47.519 --> 00:53:50.320 Would Die for You is not on Canada's version 00:53:50.320 --> 00:53:54.480 of Living Under June as it was a hit a year earlier 00:53:54.480 --> 00:53:56.460 from Time for Mercy. But when they were making 00:53:56.460 --> 00:53:59.900 a push with Jan Arden and Insensitive in the 00:53:59.900 --> 00:54:04.510 US, they included this song on. living under 00:54:04.510 --> 00:54:08.150 june and to me it's just a gorgeous beautiful 00:54:08.150 --> 00:54:12.690 90s acoustic tune it's very dreamy it's very 00:54:12.690 --> 00:54:16.090 it's very sweet it's delicate it's just a beautiful 00:54:16.090 --> 00:54:19.110 track and i felt like we had that with harvest 00:54:19.110 --> 00:54:21.730 moon on side a so i kind of wanted to give us 00:54:21.730 --> 00:54:25.030 that moment here on side b as well with jan arden's 00:54:25.030 --> 00:54:28.309 i would die for you jan arden is one of those 00:54:28.309 --> 00:54:32.719 stupidly talented singers. And now she's transitioned 00:54:32.719 --> 00:54:36.199 into more of a TV career as opposed to the singing 00:54:36.199 --> 00:54:38.599 career. But yes, when she was out there, you 00:54:38.599 --> 00:54:39.860 know, when you think about some of the artists 00:54:39.860 --> 00:54:42.659 that are out around that time, artists like Holly 00:54:42.659 --> 00:54:45.539 Cole and Nora Jones, Jan Arden really kind of 00:54:45.539 --> 00:54:50.139 fit into that era of singer songwriter. I know 00:54:50.139 --> 00:54:51.960 exactly where I'm going to go with this. And 00:54:51.960 --> 00:54:54.539 it's right in your wheelhouse because it's a 00:54:54.539 --> 00:54:59.500 cover song. All right. One of the biggest. female 00:54:59.500 --> 00:55:02.960 Canadian artists in the nineties is also the 00:55:02.960 --> 00:55:05.679 person that helped put together the Lilith fair. 00:55:05.820 --> 00:55:10.179 And that's Sarah McLaughlin. So off of her 1996 00:55:10.179 --> 00:55:14.500 EP rarity, besides and other stuff, I'm going 00:55:14.500 --> 00:55:19.059 to go with her cover of ecstasy's dear God. It 00:55:19.059 --> 00:55:23.650 was so good. Now. honestly anyone who's got this 00:55:23.650 --> 00:55:25.230 album is going to sit there and say oh that's 00:55:25.230 --> 00:55:27.690 the one with i will remember you because we've 00:55:27.690 --> 00:55:31.590 all heard i will remember you but it's her cover 00:55:31.590 --> 00:55:35.690 of dear god that really sold this album for me 00:55:35.690 --> 00:55:38.150 and yes there's a remix of possession on there 00:55:38.150 --> 00:55:39.989 yes there's a remix of into the fire and some 00:55:39.989 --> 00:55:42.050 of her bigger songs from previous albums but 00:55:42.050 --> 00:55:45.690 this cover better than i will remember you maybe 00:55:45.690 --> 00:55:47.730 it's because it's overplayed but i'm all for 00:55:47.730 --> 00:55:52.099 it man Four female tracks in a row, and they're 00:55:52.099 --> 00:55:54.940 all incredible. And you hit me with the cover. 00:55:55.360 --> 00:56:00.579 I absolutely love it. But I feel like Jan Arden 00:56:00.579 --> 00:56:03.480 and Sarah McLachlan's Dear God kind of bring 00:56:03.480 --> 00:56:06.099 the vibe down a little bit. And we've only got 00:56:06.099 --> 00:56:09.659 two songs left. So we need that cover band moment 00:56:09.659 --> 00:56:12.420 of we're nearing the end of the night. Let's 00:56:12.420 --> 00:56:15.880 get everybody up and back out on the dance floor 00:56:15.880 --> 00:56:20.500 immediately. And I think I can do that in nine 00:56:20.500 --> 00:56:24.000 words. I am going to echo Cactus Pete with this 00:56:24.000 --> 00:56:26.619 one. It's been one week since you looked at me. 00:56:26.780 --> 00:56:31.900 Bare Naked Ladies, 1998 stunt, inescapable, no 00:56:31.900 --> 00:56:33.860 matter what country you were in. This was the 00:56:33.860 --> 00:56:37.460 song that truly launched Bare Naked Ladies into 00:56:37.460 --> 00:56:42.079 the stratosphere musically. Now, I know that. 00:56:42.730 --> 00:56:44.809 Tom Hutchinson chimed in with old apartment. 00:56:45.050 --> 00:56:47.909 I could have easily went with if I had a million 00:56:47.909 --> 00:56:51.429 dollars here, especially coming out of Jan Arden 00:56:51.429 --> 00:56:53.829 and Sarah McLachlan. But I feel like I wanted 00:56:53.829 --> 00:56:56.690 to pick the party back up and not lean into the 00:56:56.690 --> 00:56:59.489 more mellow half of the side. So, yes, it's a 00:56:59.489 --> 00:57:02.489 total record scratch moment. But hell, who knows? 00:57:02.550 --> 00:57:04.849 Maybe you'll close things out with Snow's Informer 00:57:04.849 --> 00:57:07.409 now because of the weird way I took this. But 00:57:07.409 --> 00:57:10.170 I got to go with. I mean, come on. When you talk 00:57:10.170 --> 00:57:13.570 about songs, that's fun to attempt to sing along 00:57:13.570 --> 00:57:16.329 with. This is one of them. Again, you think about 00:57:16.329 --> 00:57:19.610 the movies like American Pie. This song was synonymous 00:57:19.610 --> 00:57:23.050 with those movies. And it's just, I'll say it's 00:57:23.050 --> 00:57:25.289 just so much frigging fun. The song never got 00:57:25.289 --> 00:57:28.030 old to me. I could hear it a million times and 00:57:28.030 --> 00:57:30.750 it always puts a smile on my face. It always 00:57:30.750 --> 00:57:34.710 makes me happy. And yeah, that's as my last pick 00:57:34.710 --> 00:57:38.259 of the night. Bare Naked Ladies one week. Always 00:57:38.259 --> 00:57:41.360 baffles me that it took that long for the Barenaked 00:57:41.360 --> 00:57:43.159 Ladies to make it big in the States. Because 00:57:43.159 --> 00:57:48.139 I remember when the yellow tape came out. And 00:57:48.139 --> 00:57:52.280 this was in 1991. And, you know, everyone was 00:57:52.280 --> 00:57:54.420 hearing If I Had a Million Dollars. And, of course, 00:57:54.440 --> 00:57:56.659 that also had Be My Yoko Ono and Brian Wilson 00:57:56.659 --> 00:57:59.199 on it. And, of course, this is also around the 00:57:59.199 --> 00:58:01.480 same time that they did their cover of Bruce 00:58:01.480 --> 00:58:06.320 Coburn's Lovers in a Dangerous Time. Yes. Everyone. 00:58:06.909 --> 00:58:10.190 Everyone I knew had the yellow cassette, especially 00:58:10.190 --> 00:58:12.929 because it also had their cover of Fight the 00:58:12.929 --> 00:58:15.809 Power. So the fact that they were pulling off 00:58:15.809 --> 00:58:17.949 those kind of covers, phenomenal. And Gordon, 00:58:18.050 --> 00:58:21.530 the minute Gordon came out and hit the stores, 00:58:21.550 --> 00:58:25.550 like as a DJ, I was playing those songs every 00:58:25.550 --> 00:58:28.210 night. Like I actually had Old Apartment and 00:58:28.210 --> 00:58:31.469 Enid both on my list because anything off of 00:58:31.469 --> 00:58:33.730 Gordon was going to. was definitely going to 00:58:33.730 --> 00:58:36.989 be called for. And again, from a Canadian perspective, 00:58:37.190 --> 00:58:39.929 it's fascinating that it took one week to hit. 00:58:40.010 --> 00:58:42.050 And of course, now anyone who watches reruns 00:58:42.050 --> 00:58:44.389 of the Big Bang Theory gets their Barenaked Ladies 00:58:44.389 --> 00:58:46.909 kick every episode because, of course, they did 00:58:46.909 --> 00:58:50.849 the theme song. I'll say this. Barenaked Ladies 00:58:50.849 --> 00:58:56.369 was a college radio staple up until one week. 00:58:56.550 --> 00:58:59.809 One week is the song that put them into the mainstream 00:58:59.809 --> 00:59:03.519 overnight in the US. At the time, I was in high 00:59:03.519 --> 00:59:07.219 school. We were all familiar with it from the 00:59:07.219 --> 00:59:10.900 college radio stations in the area. But mainstream 00:59:10.900 --> 00:59:14.360 radio fell in love with them at one week, at 00:59:14.360 --> 00:59:17.639 least here in the U .S. Coming off of one week, 00:59:17.760 --> 00:59:21.480 and you wanted to pick things up. Normally, you 00:59:21.480 --> 00:59:24.599 know me. I like to kind of. Land the plane softly 00:59:24.599 --> 00:59:26.500 when we get to the end of the cassette. Celine 00:59:26.500 --> 00:59:28.500 Dion. No, not Celine Dion. We're still not doing 00:59:28.500 --> 00:59:30.940 Celine Dion. I feel bad because the Celine Dion 00:59:30.940 --> 00:59:32.860 fans listening are going to be mad at us, you 00:59:32.860 --> 00:59:35.199 realize. Well, this cassette will go on. But 00:59:35.199 --> 00:59:42.039 here we go. Volume two. Oh, trust me. I have 00:59:42.039 --> 00:59:44.219 enough songs for volume two. So if we ever get 00:59:44.219 --> 00:59:46.920 back to this, absolutely. I think I know I'm 00:59:46.920 --> 00:59:49.219 going to end it. I had about three or four songs 00:59:49.219 --> 00:59:52.980 that were earmarked for the ending. But I think 00:59:52.980 --> 00:59:55.219 I'm going to go with a song that's, again, in 00:59:55.219 --> 00:59:58.500 my band's set list. That if we're not ending 00:59:58.500 --> 01:00:00.659 the night with Sweet Caroline, we're ending the 01:00:00.659 --> 01:00:04.860 night with this song. So allow me to quote. You'll 01:00:04.860 --> 01:00:08.699 have to excuse me. I'm not at my best. I've been 01:00:08.699 --> 01:00:11.139 gone for a week. I've been drunk since I left. 01:00:11.460 --> 01:00:14.320 And these so -called vacations will soon be my 01:00:14.320 --> 01:00:17.900 death. I'm so sick from the drink. I need home 01:00:17.900 --> 01:00:23.960 for a rest. From Spirit. And I feel like it works 01:00:23.960 --> 01:00:26.699 well because we started off the cassette with 01:00:26.699 --> 01:00:31.179 more of that maritime Celtic kind of feel. This 01:00:31.179 --> 01:00:33.900 song, it entered our set list because we needed 01:00:33.900 --> 01:00:35.860 something to play for a St. Patrick's Day show. 01:00:36.280 --> 01:00:40.079 And then we saw how people absolutely lost their 01:00:40.079 --> 01:00:43.920 ish every time we play this. This is the ultimate 01:00:43.920 --> 01:00:48.079 party drinking song if you are Canadian. And 01:00:48.079 --> 01:00:50.639 if you haven't heard it. Please go listen to 01:00:50.639 --> 01:00:54.739 it. To me, Spirit of the West is kind of ending 01:00:54.739 --> 01:00:59.719 the night on a dropkick Murphy's end in the Massachusetts, 01:01:00.019 --> 01:01:02.780 Boston area. It has that same vibe. They're cut 01:01:02.780 --> 01:01:06.679 kind of from the same cloth, and it's definitely 01:01:06.679 --> 01:01:09.280 a raise your glass and everybody singing along 01:01:09.280 --> 01:01:12.000 at the top of their lungs. Kind of track. Oh, 01:01:12.000 --> 01:01:14.739 yeah. It definitely brings the same kind of response 01:01:14.739 --> 01:01:18.239 as a shipping up to Boston would for sure. And 01:01:18.239 --> 01:01:20.059 again, it's just one of those ones where people 01:01:20.059 --> 01:01:21.820 are going to lock their arms and spin around 01:01:21.820 --> 01:01:24.360 in a circle on the dance floor and probably spill 01:01:24.360 --> 01:01:26.280 a lot of beer and make the floor really sticky 01:01:26.280 --> 01:01:28.900 as we load out at the end of the night. Not complaining. 01:01:29.219 --> 01:01:31.880 Not complaining. Maybe complaining a little. 01:01:32.019 --> 01:01:36.139 But again, you've got the Celtic feel. You've 01:01:36.139 --> 01:01:40.409 got the maritime sounds. And. Still, to this 01:01:40.409 --> 01:01:42.690 day, because remember, this song came out early 01:01:42.690 --> 01:01:45.369 90s as well. To this day, it still gets people 01:01:45.369 --> 01:01:48.150 on the dance floor. Perfect way to close things 01:01:48.150 --> 01:01:51.250 out tonight for Side B, which kicked off with 01:01:51.250 --> 01:01:54.650 Rush's Animate, Rainbow Butt Monkeys' As Far 01:01:54.650 --> 01:01:58.250 As I Could Spit, Our Lady Peace, Superman's Dead, 01:01:58.630 --> 01:02:02.550 I'm Mother Earth, Earth, Sky, and Sea, Biff Naked's 01:02:02.550 --> 01:02:06.610 Spaceman, Holly McNarland's Numb.
