Pressure Drop Show, 8th August 2022

Originally aired live on June 10, 2010 when I guest hosted classic CJLO punk show "The Reaktor"

I managed to find this archived interview with the late Tony Sly, and while it may not be the best sound quality, seeing how it's recently been ten years since he passed, I thought it'd be nice to get this online in tribute to one of the best punk songwriters of the last while.  We talk about No Use for a Name's connection with Quebec, the process behind his first solo record, and being a father.  RIP, Tony, thanks for all the music that still lives on.

Huge thanks to Melanie Kaye for setting this up.

Songs:
● No Use for a Name - "Dumb Reminders" (2002)
● Slowdive - "The Shortest Pier" (2010)
● No Use for a Name - "Let it Slide" (1999)

Pressure Drop Show, 3rd October 2022

About 3 Minutes Of Jabbering

Over the past decade, Montreal’s Braids — musicians Taylor Smith, Raphaelle Standell-Preston, and Austin Tufts — have devoted themselves to exploring their art together, making for one of the more daring and fluid catalogs in contemporary experimental pop. On their fifth album, Euphoric Recall, Braids abandoned strategy, burned it down, and realized their love record.

Standell-Preston appeared on @ashestoashescjlo to talk about the LP, composing string arrangements for the first time, and "getting a lot of purpose" from performing live.

Braids Interview || Ashes to Ashes

The 23rd edition of the Suoni Per Il Popolo music festival will take place from June 1 to 23, 2023 in several of Montreal's legendary venues. The annual music festival celebrates music and arts for the culturally curious and the musically inclined. Their fresh programming will feature local, national and international artists covering a number of genres that include free jazz, avant-rock, noise/post-punk, avant-folk, and afro-futurism.

As a proud partner of the left-of-centre festival, CJLO took the time to talk to Suoni director of operations Penny Pattison about her role, what makes the festival unique, and much more.

Suoni Per Il Popolo Interview || CJLO 1690AM

Jessy Lanza calls Love Hallucination, her latest record, her “trust fall.” Having just moved from the Bay Area to sunny LA, the singer-producer steps into a newfound confidence and personal authenticity.  From club-ready songs to more downbeat and sultry works, Love Hallucination reminds us of falling into depths of love but being self-assured enough to trust one’s instincts.

Lanza appeared on @ashestoashescjlo to talk about the record, whether she sees herself as a mentor to potential artists, and if she'd ever do YouTube "how to" videos.

Songs played: "Limbo," "Marathon," "Don't Leave Me Now"

Jessy Lanza Interview || Ashes to Ashes

On 'Coming Up, Crocus,' the debut EP from Montreal artist Sophie Ogilvie, change is always already in motion. The release chronicles how one season passes into the next, how a relationship resolves itself into something gone. Drawing on jazz, R&B, and 90s alternative, Ogilvie’s songwriting is simultaneously cool and vulnerable, soft and hard-hitting, delicate and dramatic.

Ogilvie appeared on @ashestoashescjlo to talk about the EP, dramatic music, and her academic side.

Songs played: "Milk Glass," "New Friend"

Sophie Ogilvie Interview || Ashes to Ashes

After building up a cult-like fanbase over the past year with a steady wave of irresistible album singles, Midwestern darling and imminent pop star Chappell Roan delivered her highly anticipated debut album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess last month. A technicolor celebration of self-discovery and transformation, the record tracks Roan’s cinematic journey of falling in queer love for the first time, while embracing all the messy and imperfect moments in-between.

Roan appeared on @ashestoashescjlo to talk about the LP, the paradoxes of pop music, and why she believes she hasn't written her best song yet.

Songs played: "Red Wine Supernova," "Hot to Go!," "Pink Pony Club," "Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl"

Chappell Roan Interview || Ashes to Ashes

Montreal dancefloor mavens @lecouleur are back with Comme dans un penthouse, their latest album out on @lisbon-lux-records. Featuring an electronic, nu-disco sound à la Todd Terje and reminiscent of Fujiya & Miyagi’s early 2000’s Krautrock, this new album is irresistibly suspenseful. Using Barbara, a character from their 2016 album P.O.P. as a symbol of our collective thirst for excitement, this eight track speed train of an album will transport you to a realm of icy desire.

Steeven Chouinard and Patrick Gosselin, two-thirds of the trio, appeared on @ashestoashescjlo to talk about the LP, concept albums, and what hasn't changed about the band after 15 years together.

Songs played: "À la rencontre de Barbara (feat. Standard Emmanuel)," "Addiction," "Autobahn," "Sentiments nouveaux"
