KW Singer/Songwriter Courtney Wolfe has been slamming down singles on Spotify that are so consistently awesome, that the slam alone would steal all your pogs. However, unlike when pogs were a thing, how an artist has to do it is completely different. Todd was curious to go back to that conversation, as well as deep dive into Courtney's awesome songbook and personal fascination with music. Katy didn't join the show this time around because she and her family are on the precipice of giving birth but will be back soon. We know it's been four months since the last episode and we appreciate your patience. This is the joy of naming the show after one's self and being beholden to no one. Having said that, DIG COURTNEY WOLFE, ENJOY THREE LIVE-OFF-THE-FLOOR performances by Courtney + her guitarist Shane; also GO SEE HER LIVE @ MAXWELL'S CONCERTS AND EVENTS TOMORROW (link below).

Disclaimer: It's the same energy podcast, right!? Todd & Katy were both having a tired day, but not when Ontario Singer/Songwriter and returning guest Paige Warner was on(!) to catch up and chat about her new single "Lose Lose". You'll even get a LIVE PERFORMANCE of that number! Other than that, Katy moved mountains to keep the show on the rails and Todd went super cheeky about bands & TV shows, later advocating for pop-culture stoicism. To start things off, they did quite a segment on the 2023 Grammy Awards for two people who didn't watch them! Enjoy!

Veteran Kitchener/Waterloo music scene-sters, pub musicians and now podcasters: Jesse Webber & Jay Carraro, bring you humour and all sorts of wonderful Kitchener beloved fellow musicians, artists and more on their show “Kitchener Famous w/ Jesse & Jay”. What started off as a covid-era project has become yet another song from the heart from these guys, and it’s loaded with hooks and charm. Dear listener: If I’ve ever claimed to dedicate my show to just the hardcore fans and no-longer hope for approval, I’ve never meant it more than here in the last month. I mean, I DO love these guys and you SHOULD listen to their podcast.. but you’re not gonna get a prime and well promoted exposé on anything they do here, sorry-not sorry. You’re gonna get three longtime friends catching up and chatting about shit with a LOOSE interview-ish-like structure, which I always find more enjoyable anyway. You’re also gonna get some great local (to Kitchener) music by LoFi Mind, IAM5AM ft. Mary 5E, TayLynn and the brand new single by Jesse Webber “Brand New Day”. Photo cred: Nick Stanley, a re-presentation of a photo used for The Community Edition, with full-crediit going to Nick. This is a non-profit podcast Nick, please don’t hurt me and thanks for being a wicked awesome photographer!

Hear ep 117 w/ Glodeane Brown now, wherever you get or listen to podcasts. My bio link is a Linktr.ee, and there’s a link directly to the newest episode on Apple Podcasts at the top! I’m overwhelmed to think of all (“Culture Fancier” aka) Glodeane Brown’s done/is doing, for art and to the artist’s benefit, to the whole art community’s benefit. 5 years ago in March, Culture Fancier was born. It’s an amazing art blog for the Waterloo Region; spotlighting, showcasing and chatting with the artists (and others) behind every museum, gallery, novel, painting, installation, album, independent film and more, in the region & beyond.. Way to get your weekly output dwarfed, EVERY built-in art section in the region’s press, COMBINED! In fact, Culture Fancier has led to professional art-column gigs, as well as opportunities to cover art outside of the region.. it’s certainly gained Glodeane much deserved admiration among hundreds of artists whose work was turned on to people through the blog, and hundreds more who seek to have their work ‘culture-fancied’.. I just riffed that, it might catch on. In the time that the blog’s started and built itself into what it is now and always has been (fantastic), Glodeane completed a post-grad at Humber College for Arts Administration & Cultural Management, taken on various roles in CAFKA’s biennial (with all that’s involved between events and behind the scenes); CAFKA (Contemporary Art Forum Kitchener and Area) being a huge art exhibit spread across WR’s public space (I’ve seen it, it’s intense and amazing). Now that I’ve scratched the surface.. Did I mention that I’m lucky enough to know Glodeane, because I was also lucky enough to regularly share the stage with lovely singer/songwriters Christen Latham and Matt Lees at the dive-iest dive, the early-mid 2000s Circus Room? Did I mention she’s found a way to offer moral support and followed everything I’ve done creatively over the years since? Did I mention she once got debilitatingly anti-social (then) me on to the dance floor at a friend’s wedding back in the day - cause she’s that cool? Not to make it about the past, but as I wrap up TDS, I can’t go without shouting about how awesome my brilliant and hard-working friend is and always has been.. with all the gratitude I feel while typing it. Now you can listen to me say it all on iTunes or whatever and even more inarticulate! Chat with Glodeane Brown recorded over Zoom from Waterdown to Kitchener on June 3rd, 2021. Recorded music: “(D)HMU” by Ley Vara, “Living In Between” by Matthew Ryan Jacobs, “Liqour” by Paige Warner, “Nitpicker” by Kali Kazoo & “Heart Attack” by The Stars Here. Voiceover by Milo Axelrod, theme music by William Chernoff, piano outro by JP Sunga, everything else by Todd Donald. Presented in part, by Afternoon Tea. afternoontealabel.com

Meet Daniel Hodgson, a worldclass (though hobbyist now) photographer and a vinyl enthusiast, not to mention an Australian/Canadian & KW-based friend of mine since early 2011. It was nice to catch up with Daniel and a chance to shoot the shit with him on a podcast, which features on it’s cover, a photo taken by him. We chat about KW, accents, photography and vinyl… which is always nice! Enjoy! Enjoy the wonderful music on this episode, including “Avenue B” by Vienna D’Amato Hall, “The Chauffer” by Warpaint & “DoYaThing” by Gorillaz.
