The YouTube upload of Season Two Episode Five is here!

On today’s episode, Ariel talks to Lindsay Jane of The Solarpunk Scene where she showcases her solarpunk life in Toronto, as well as shining a spotlight on solarpunk projects locally and internationally. Lindsay tells us about how she discovered solarpunk and the ways that she lives a solarpunk life in the city - both the upsides (gardens! architecture! effective transit!) and the downsides (sky-high rent, expensive food, difficulty cultivating outdoor gardens). She also emphasizes the importance of getting involved in your local community and politics as a city-dweller, and lets listeners in on the behind-the-scenes inspiration for The Solarpunk Scene: tune in to learn more!

LUBALIN ANNOUNCES "HAHA, NO WORRIES" ALBUM OUT DECEMBER 6- AND HER NEW SINGLE OUT TODAY

Today songwriter, producer, and long-time collaborator with 6-time JUNO winner Charlotte Cardin, Lubalin, shares his latest single, “bullet time”, a powerful blend of raw emotion, sharp lyricism, and unrestrained vocals.

After skyrocketing into TikTok fame at the end of 2020 with his “internet drama” parody videos and co-writing/co-producing much of Cardin’s JUNO Album of the Year winning 99 Nights record, Lubalin is coming into his own as a multi-talented solo artist.

Lubalin describes the track’s creative process, saying: “Charlotte Cardin, Jason Brando and I originally wrote this song while we were writing for Charlotte's album, 99 Nights. We actually wrestled with it quite a bit. We knew we had something, but we just couldn't get it to click, and in the end, it just didn't fit Charlotte's sound at the time, so we shelved it. Eventually, the sound started to emerge for this album. There's a lot of drum & bass inspiration, organic drum breaks, this sense of motion, chopped background vocals... it's very cool, but I also like things that are right on the edge of being cheesy. It's almost like ‘The Matrix’ soundtrack meets 2000s soft pop.”

On his forthcoming debut album haha, no worries, Lubalin blurs the line between child-like wonder and decidedly adult self-doubt. Mining an overlooked vein of experience, the everyday interactions and off-the-cuff communications we toss back and forth with little thought - presenting a series of emotionally raw but meticulously crafted observations with a wry sense of humour and a gleeful disregard for convention.

Blending pop-leaning drum & bass influences, 2000s-era electro-pop, indie, and alt. rock, the Montreal-based artist/producer juxtaposes urgent, often frenetic rhythms and vocal loops against deceptively laid-back vocals and instrumental tracks that rely heavily on the duality that informs his music and life.

Sometimes you visit Toronto, and decide to go to an art gallery with your partner. I had a lot of fun with them and my friends (they went to a video game tournament, long story).

Satan's Choice MC was a Canadian outlaw motorcycle club that was once the dominant outlaw club in Ontario, and at the peak of its power in 1977, had 12 chapters based in Ontario, with one in Montreal, Quebec. However, its power began to diminish during the 1970s, with some of the clubs chapters "patching over" to the Outlaws MC in 1977. The remaining chapters would eventually become members of the Hells Angels along with most of the other major outlaw clubs in Ontario...
