After having played the entire Joy Division catalogue live, bassist Peter Hook is now going through the whole New Order catalogue. He talks about the upcoming North American tour well as the continuing, er, issues with his former New Order bandmates.

Peter Hook with Alan Cross, 20 August 2013

I've had an opportunity to do some work with William Shatner over the last couple of years and we've kept in touch.  I recently went to see him perform his new prog-rock album, Ponder the Mystery, in full at a packed club in San Juan Capistrano, California.  We chatted about it later on the phone.

William Shatner on His New Album and His Musical History

There have been Chalk Circle reunions before, but this time, they have something to celebrate: the reissue of their three releases in a brand new remastered form.  I spoke with Chris Tait and Brad Hopkins about the reunion, the new versions of those old albums and the trials of acquiring ownership of your music from a record label.  

Oh, and the show is at Lee's Palace in Toronto on Friday, June 7, 2013.
