Ignored 136: Crawl with Me by Art Bergmann

ArtB.001

Cam and Sammy are total Art critics for this episode as they (mentally) visit BC for a chat about Art Bergmann and his 1988’s solo debut Crawl with Me. We love this album and we love both Art and art so brace yourself for lots of gushing. We discuss the merits of John Cale (as a producer), debunk suggestions that Bergmann is Canada’s answer to Keith Richards (he is Canada’s answer to Paul Westerberg, obviously) and we ponder long and hard why Bergmann isn’t often in the conversation with Neil, Leonard and Joni as Canadian songwriting royalty We wrap things with a bonus chat about Joy Division and New Order as we try to figure out if Peter Hook is really that bad of a dude. This episode also contains a random Cecil Seaskull mention.

Ignored 134: Salad Days by Mac DeMarco

Mac.001

Cam and Sammy move into the 2010s for their latest Canadian album chat, shining a spotlight squarely at folk weirdo Mac DeMarco and his stellar 2014 full-length Salad Days. This episode goes deep on why even accessible music can be sometimes be hard to categorize plus other important topics such as easy listening music of the 1970s, Beck and incongruency between stage personas and recorded outputs. Bonus: We somehow end this episode with 8-10 minutes of chatter about Aphex Twin.
