the canadian government should fund my transition and change the gender marker on my license simply based on how much kim mitchell/max webster I’ve listened to. im not even that huge of a fan but I’ve listened to So Much of it that I should legally qualify as a middleaged canadian dad at this point.

Oh nothing, just a 1979 comedy special on musician Burton Cummings in which Rick shows up briefly as a kitschy interviewer who speaks pseudo Spanish/Italian gibberish. As you do. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What is Canadian Culture

February 7, 2024 During a lively discussion with friends, I asked: what is Canadian culture? After a surprising period of thoughtful quiet, someone suggested that Canada has musicians, authors, and artists who combine to define Canadian culture. But I said that many of these have made their career in the US. For example, Celine Dion, Joni Mitchell, and The Guess Who (Burton Cummings) have become…

Jeremiah Dønier emailed from Langly, WA: "Hello Marc,

I tried signing up for your mailing list but got an error message saying the mailing list is not active.

My family and I live on the windswept isle of Whidbey upon the Salish Sea. I stumbled across your app in May after canceling my iTunes subscription and we are loving the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. A few weeks ago, we enjoyed a couple of hours of the music as we pickled some pints of cucumbers (see attached photo).

My love of Celtic music goes back to my family's roots. My dad's kin are mostly from the Swiss Alps and Scandinavia, but my mom's family came from Scotland and Ireland to settle in the Pacific Northwest in the late 1800s. So, I grew up listening to Celtic folk tunes played by my parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles.

Then I began listening to a range of Celtic music as a teenager in the mid - 1990s. Of course, I enjoyed the explosion of modern Celtic music during this time with crossovers into New Age and Rock. Many purists deride this as faux Celtic but it didn't matter to me. I like the flitting of flutes, braggadocio of bagpipes, and harmony of harps. One of my favorite memories from back then, was going to an oversold a Colcannon show in Ellensburg, Washington and I was seated on the stage!

Since then, I accumulated an eclectic collection of Celtic tunes. During the pandemic I began looking through my older CDs and found "Celtic Legacy A Global Celtic Journey" by the Narada. It features are a number of groups from Ireland, Breton, Wales, and Scotland and the American Celtic diaspora. Then I noticed there a group stands out as bit different and it has become one of my favorites: Milladoiro.

They come from northwest Spain which I learned is a region rich but often overlooked in Celtic history. Indeed, research shows many cultural and genetic links between Ireland, Galicia, and the Basques.

Anyway, I wanted to say hello, share a bit about me and my love of Celtic music. Throughout the week the podcast is my way to relax. With over 500 episodes it is going to take me awhile to get through them all. I love how you feature so many different types of Celtic music with differrent themes.

So, all this leads me to I wonder if you've ever done a show on global Celtic music? Perhaps you could feature some of those groups like Milladoiro that add a bit a different flavor to the Celtic tunes we love.

Ronnie “The Hawk” Hawkins Dead at 87

“The Hawk” has flown.

Ronnie “The Hawk” Hawkins, the U.S.-born, Canadian-based rockabilly singer who brought together the group that became the Band, has died.

Hawkins was 87 and died May 29 after a long illness, his wife, Wanda, told the Canadian Press.

“He went peacefully and he looked as handsome as ever,” Wanda Hawkins told the CP.

“Heaven just got rompin',” Sebastian Bach tweeted, a reference to Hawkins’ other nickname, Rompin’ Ronnie.

Over his decades-long career, musicians including Roy Buchanan and Pat Travers passed through his band, the Hawks. But Hawkins is best known as the man who brought together the band - Levon Helm, Robbie Robertson, Rick Danko, Richard Manuel and Garth Hudson - that became the Band.

“My heart sank when I heard ‘the Hawk’ just flew into the sunset,” Robertson said in a statement.

“Ronnie was the godfather. The one who made this all happen.”

Burton Cummings said Hawkins’ Mary Lou was the inspiration for the Guess Who’s “No Time” and said, “it was virtually impossible ever to find anyone who didn't like Ronnie.”

“He could always make you howl with laughter. … He'll be sorely missed by so many,” Cummings wrote on Twitter.

I’m a Bad Fan

I like music. I love music! I love the work of many bands and musicians, in many styles from pop to abstract. But if you ask me for details about the bands, I’m not all that up on what goes on with the bands outside of the actual music they make.

Elvis, the Beatles, Michael Jackson, now their fans would obsess over every detail that could be had about their personal lives, or perhaps gather every bit of trivia about recording sessions, what the backup singers had for lunch, the exact power requirements for the mixing board at Abbey Road or whatever the heck.

But I don’t. And it’s sort of a defense mechanism.

In my youth I checked out a cassette of Road Food by the Guess Who from the local public library and really liked it. There’s one song that’s a stinker, it’s 9 minutes long at the end of the album, and the album is like 20 minutes without it, but damn if I didn’t really like all the rest of the songs. It also was very hard to get on CD. At first there was only a Japanese edition that was outrageously expensive to get. Then there was a reissue that crammed it on a single CD along with another Guess Who album. Both these CDs were flawed - the former has tracks out of order and the latter was mastered badly, compressed to distortion. So I contented myself with the vinyl copy I’d bought much earlier - until a third reissue was released from a company that appreciated the material enough to do a better job at it. That one I got. The audio quality is lovely.

The CD booklet, however, contains a recounting of the condition of the band during the recording of this particular album, and it’s a story of a band in decline. Substance abuse was compromising a member or two. The lead singer and songwriter Burton Cummings had issues that led to disagreements and resentments among other band members, and was reportedly obsessing over the idea of having another hit song to boost the band’s career. Hearing a bit of a warm-up jam the guitarists were doing, he pounced on that, and the song eventually became Clap for the Wolfman, a novelty hit based around Wolfman Jack that did pretty well - but its unofficial title before all this was Napoleon’s Blues, which was a mocking reference to Cummings’ own self-important swagger.

Having read that, half the time I listen to the album I think about the band, falling apart, cracking at the seams, where before I just enjoyed the music.

In the mid-late 80s I bought my first Wire album, The Ideal Copy, and fell in love with the band. It’s a unique blend of art-pop, post-punk, europop - I don’t think there’s any other band that was doing things quite like Wire did them in the 80s. The Ideal Copy remains one of my all-time favorite albums, in the top 5 if not the top 3.

But if you’re hungry for details about the band, you could read Everybody Loves a History, a book about Wire’s trajectory from punk band to art-pop to technopop back to raw rock and on and beyond. And you could read how the band was going through some hard times. The drummer was dismayed by the artificial sequencing being used, and considered quitting. Another member did quit, halfway through recording the album, and only rejoined after the record was released, feeling duty-bound to tour for the album. None of the band members expressed any love for the album or the session that created it. Where once I just enjoyed the music, after reading the book I now know the album was a source of stress for at least half the band.

I like all three albums by Soul Coughing, and my favorite is El Oso. The band has long since broken up, but I never knew why. Lead singer Michael Doughty went on with a solo career, and YouTube just recently pushed a video at me of Doughty talking at one of his shows, where he starts detailing how he was marginalized in his own band, how he emotionally checked out, would drop his vocal tracks by himself in the studio and then leave and let the rest of the band work out the music--

I stopped the video and went to some other web page entirely. I don’t want to know any behind-the-scenes details about the bands I like anymore. I don’t want the music I love to carry around a sour aftertaste for the rest of my life.

guess who

The Guess Who is a Canadian rock band, formed in Winnipeg in 1965. Initially gaining recognition in Canada, the group found international success from the late 1960s through the mid-1970s with many hit singles, including "No Time", "American Woman", "Laughing", "These Eyes", "Undun" and "Share the Land". The band have continued to perform and record to the present day, and at various times have included many well-known musicians, including Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman (of Bachman–Turner Overdrive). Formed as a garage rock band, their musical style encompassed the pop rock and psychedelic rock genres.

The band was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 1987. In 2002, Randy Bachman, Burton Cummings, Garry Peterson, Donnie McDougall and Bill Wallace received the Governor General's Performing Arts Award for Lifetime Artistic Achievement for The Guess Who's contribution to popular music in Canada.

Great idea! You get one extra ❤❤

Yay!THE ALLMAN BROTHERS. From Wikipedia: “At Fillmore East was the band’s artistic and commercial breakthrough, and has been considered by some critics to be one of the greatest live albums in rock music.” Their live jams were astounding. Listen to Gregg’s yearning voice in “Sweet Melissa.” Then “Jessica” (these guys liked dedicating songs to girls). Every single person in this band as an ace musician. A shout-out to my Canadian roots: THE GUESS WHO.Randy Bachman and Burton Cummings put out some GREAT music when they could tolerate each other, ranging from flat-out rock to ballads to jazz. The whole first side of “American Woman” gets you right where you live. One of my favourite songs is “Undun” which Bachman wrote after watching a young woman lose consciousness after dropping acid. They’ve got a great song book!Thanks so much for the ask.

My thoughts on all the Disney Live Action Remakes so far!

Fair warning: This is strictly my opinion, if you have conflicting opinions on it feel free to post. Just don’t be a jerk about it.

1. Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book (1994)

Though it doesn't stay as faithful to the Kipling classic and in someways the animated classic, it's a pretty solid action film with a pretty impressive cast. The action was amazing, interestingly the animals don't talk (except in it's 1998 prequel The Jungle Book: Mowgli's Story) but the body language spoke for itself. Personally This is one I recommend.

2. 101 Dalmatians (1996)

Glen Close was the perfect Cruella De Vil! Unlike the animated classic, the animals do not communicate but their actions speak louder with some pretty humorous and down right adorable moments with the puppies. The odd change that stuck out was Rodger's job, in the animated film he was a musician struggling to write a hit song but in this one he's a game designer struggling to create a good game. There were some pretty sweet and even funny moments but then again this was written by John Hughes (Home Alone, Uncle Buck, National Lampoons Vacation).

3. 102 Dalmatians (2000)

With the director of A Goofy Movie, Tarzan, and Enchanted at the helm this one was a fun film. The idea of a rehabilitated Cruella was an interesting take but when she lapses back to her old ways it's pretty funny. Of course there's a lot more puppies this time around and the introduction to a spotless dalmatian named Oddball who stole the show alongside Glen Close and a very talkative parrot named Waddlesworth. I adored how they show how self conscious Oddball is about being spotless and the antics she gets into trying to get spots like her siblings. An enjoyable sequel with some adorable humor.

4. Alice in Wonderland (2010)

Director Tim Burton gives his spin on the tale of Alice and her adventures in Wonderland. Though surprisingly it takes place after the events of the original novel as Alice is now an adult who must return to Wonderland to end The Red Queen's reign. This one is visual candy from beginning to end with some pretty frightening moments, I enjoyed a lot of the acting and Johnny Depp was a treat to watch. The soundtrack admittingly is the best I've heard from Danny Elfman next to Edward Scissorhands.

5. The Sorcerer's Apprentice [Based on the segment from Fantasia (1940)] (2010)

I was pretty mixed on this on one hand Nicholas Cage's performance wasn't too bad I'd personally call it decent. But I felt personally that it was an underwhelming film. It had potential but so very little of it was shown. The iconic scene of the broom coming to life was a bit disappointing.

6. Maleficent (2014)

Angelina Jolie is extremely gorgeous and was the perfect choice for this movie. The action and the visuals were very dreamy, Lana Del Rey's cover of Once Upon a Dream is very haunting, and I adored that they tried to establish a bond between Aurora and Maleficent. The way the faeries were portrayed left me bewildered but it was something I was willing to overlook.

7. Cinderella (2015)

This one had the most gorgeous costume designs to put to film. Lily Tomlin was a doll in the role and her rendition of A Dream is a Wish (Your Heart Makes) is beautiful. The villains are well written and Helena Bonham Carter was an interesting choice as The Fairy Godmother. My major nitpick was with two certain scenes: The first was when Cinderella's original gown is torn, I felt it was way more stronger in the animated classic as not only do they tear it to shreds they curse and verbally (possibly physically) abuse her to the breaking point. The other is when Cinderella is locked in her room, many complained that she did nothing in the animated one but wait to get her out which isn't exactly true. She tries to get out even when the mice go through the effort to get the key to unlock the door. In the live action version she literally does what everyone had initially criticized and yet they claimed she was a feminist role model for doing so? I don't know I may be reading into this But I will give it this they do establish a relationship with Cinderella and the Prince in the beginning.

8. The Jungle Book (2016)

This movie deserved it's Oscar. The cast was spot on, Neel Sethi was perfect in the role of Mowgli. The action scenes were a fantastic especially in IMAX 3D, the emotional scenes were very powerful and I loved how they incorporated the songs and score cues from the animated classic. For the record I died laughing at Christopher Walken as King Louie, I did not expect to hear him sing at all.

9. Alice Through the Looking Glass (2016)

A pretty mixed sequel, I loved a lot of the actors including Sacha Baron Cohen as Time. However the movie left me with way more questions and even more confused as to why certain events in the movie happened. I have nothing else to say but it's not bad, it's not great, it's just.. okay...

10. Pete's Dragon (2016)

This is my highly recommended of the remakes as it lives up to the original and then some. Elliot is one of the most uniquely designed dragons since Toothless and Falkor and this movie allowed him to shine. What I loved about this movie was the core focus on the movie which was the relationship between Elliot and Pete. This was one the most enduring and emotional films I've seen to date.

11. Beauty and the Beast (2017)

One of my all time animated films and this remake was a genuine mix of "I love this but dammit there's a lot I hate too!" For starters I absolutely hate the design of Belle's gown, for me it looked like a prom dress and sadly I've seen the Broadway show, the parks, and even cosplayers do a much better job of the gown's design. Dan Stevens as the Beast had me sold and nearly fooled me for Robbie Benson. I love the scenery design of the castle, the casting of the enchanted objects was actually really good though they did very little for Audra McDonald. Emma Watson's singing is extremely mixed when listening to the performances done by Paige O'hara and Susan Egan. Honestly I wished this was mixture of both the Broadway and the animated. The major positive I have is the soundtrack the songs are great and I was happy Alan Menken returned for the score (thanks for incorporating Home from the Broadway). Out of the new songs mine personally were Josh Groban's rendition of Evermore, Celine Dion's rendition of How Does a Moment Last Forever, and Days in the Sun as a decent replacement for Human Again. Ariana Grande and John Legend's rendition of the song is okay, it felt more like they were just trying to up Celine Dion and Peabo Bryson's rendition. Oh for the record the whole Lefou being gay was pretty solid I mean I caught on just by listening to his dialogue but it felt like it was tacked on to get more ticket sales because of it. A major mix bag it's worth a watch on Netflix.

12. Christopher Robin [Based off The Many Adventures of Winnie-the-Pooh(1977)] (2018)

Once again I was reduced to crying, this is personally one of my favorite Winnie the Pooh films to date next to The Tigger Movie and 2011's Winnie the Pooh. This was a genuine roller coaster of feels and breath of fresh air for the Hundred Acre Wood, the effects for our favorites so perfect and so life-like. Hearing Jim Cummings reprise his roles was overwhelming and a welcoming call, Ewan McGregor's performance is enduring and emotional. The movie itself gives off the stunning whimsical vibes like 1991's Hook, showcasing the idea of Christopher Robin as an adult. This is a pure gem to watch.
