RFYL Episode – FakeoutEP33

Posted on 2018-08-24 by Matt Nightingale Posted in Run For Your Life!

Run For Your Life! – the psychobilly rock show of zombie sharks

Sometimes I just don’t know what to do for a genre – other times, I find out about albums that released over the summer that I MISSED. What is wrong with me!? So many great things came out this summer that I just took it for granted and thought I had everything, but here you go.

So, do enjoy this summery, post-summer-esque episode where I make up terminologies because if genres can do it, I can do it. That’s what we’re doing now.

I’m done typing things.

Times To Remember / What It Takes – Dead Sara [Official]
Waiting For Something – Diemonds
Ghost Bike – Napalmpom

The Lunchbox Interview: Alex Good (Composer)

Posted on 2018-08-24 by encaf1 Posted in The Lunchbox

It takes a special kind of artist to create music describing what your seeing, especially when there is nothing to be seen.

During the summer, the Fredericton Arts Alliance brings a pair of artists together in the Barracks to practice their art for all to see. These artists come from a wide variety of disciplines, from painting and sculpture to basket-weaving and writing. As each pair of artists comes in, we’ll be talking to them on the Lunchbox.

My guest today is Alex Good, a composer creating soundtracks and scores, synthesized music and orchestral suites. He joins me to talk about his approach to his music.

Colin Fowlie Headlines 4th Annual Marky-Poolooza

Posted on 2018-08-15 by Bondo Posted in Homemade Jams, Music Reviews

August 11, 2019 – Colin Fowlie has a gift of captivating any audience and making you feel like you’re the only one in the room. Headlining the 4th annual Marky-Poolooza in Keswick, NB, an annual outdoor house show featuring regional music, Fowlie brought his Trio to play two sets mixed with new original music, unanticipated covers, and songs typically performed with his full band, Art of the Possible.

Photo: Jay Merle

Fowlie’s narrative songwriting is easy to connect with and you find yourself immersed in every story he’s trying to tell. Whether it’s about that toxic person living through a filter, someone who’s stuck in life, or even just looking for a good time; we all know someone who can relate to the circumstance. Or, maybe it’s even you yourself.

During the first set Colin Fowlie shows his more bluesy side with songs like Amusement Park, Harmony, and Passerby, and finishes with a Drive By Truckers tune, Goddamned Lonely Love. After a short break the Trio begin their second set with a request from the crowd, the only actual reminder that there are many others there experiencing this moment with you. His rendition of Jason Isbell’s Cover Me Up is incredible and moving, but don’t be fooled! He has a way of weaving plot twists into a story that you’ll never see coming.

Able to adapt songs whether performing solo, Trio, or with the full band; he can make it feel like you’re always hearing his music for the first time, often catching something new that you might have missed before.

There were laughs, there were tears, and there was a definite feeling that you were a part of something special.

Colin Fowlie is currently working on a full length album due out in 2019.

You can catch Colin’s weekly videos here to keep up to date on the album’s progress, Fowlie’s writing process, and future show dates.

Mike Bern releases first solo single, “First Mother”

Posted on 2018-08-11 by Bondo Posted in Bondo's Picks, Homemade Jams, Music Reviews

The Great Spirit is in all things, he is in the air we breathe. The Great Spirit is our Father, but the Earth is our Mother. She nourishes us, that which we put into the ground she returns to us… – Big Thunder (Bedagi) Wabanaki Algonquin


Mike Bern, Wolastoqiyik singer-songwriter from Tobique First Nation, releases his first single as a solo artist. Formerly of Indigenous Music Award winning bands Kickin’ Krotch and District Avenue, Bern keeps his alternative rock roots while exploring a more Canadiana sound.

“The Story of the First Mother” is from the book “The Red Man“; woven together with my own impression of the tale.” Known for integrating cultural storytelling into songs, Bern continues “A Penobscot Native wrote the story in 1893 about a mother who sacrificed her life to give food and gifts to the starving. Legends of Mother Earth. I wrote it in my version to keep the stories alive.”

The single is almost a mix of Dirt era Layne Staley meets southern gospel, and if it’s any indication of what else we’ll hear from Bern in the future, we’re in for a treat when the full LP is released later in 2018.

You can check out “First Mother” here.

Age is just a number, right? 

In Episode 004, local musicians Jaclyn Reinhart and Colin Fowlie admit to being late bloomers in the music scene, but both are determined to make music their career! Reinhart and Fowlie both chat about getting into the scene late and figuring out exactly where they fit in. It can be intimidating to give something new a shot, especially in front of those who have been doing it awhile already. Learn from these two how to maybe make it easier on yourself, and where you can find some good resources.

RFYL Episode – SeriouslySeriousEP30

Posted on 2018-08-03 by Matt Nightingale Posted in Run For Your Life!

Run For Your Life! – the psychobilly rock show of zombie sharks
Did you know that the summer’s almost over? Did you know that has absolutely no bearing on me except the promise that my oven of an apartment will stop cooking me like a sad potato in a microwave?

Well, join me on my adventures through awesome music! Here’s the playlist! And a fake complaint letter I generated using a website that pretends to complain for me!

Playlist:
Ghost Bike – Napalmpom
The Shake – The Unwashed
In These Shoes – Greystone Canyon
Sand Coffin – 1989
Dark Energy – Hot Wires
Get A Grip / Short Sighted – Cardinels
After The Fire – Magick Touch
They Kill For Gods – INFRARED
Earthless – Night Verses
Zero In – Rockyard
Stream Stutter – Psychostick

Complete BS to follow:

It may sound like the kind of bogus claim made on late-night infomercials, but trust me when I say it’s true: It is axiomatic that Streaming services belongs to the “Can’t we just fail to respond to violence and call it peace?” school of political sanctimony. Whoa! Don’t stampede for the exits! I promise I’ll get to the main topic of this letter, Streaming services’s immoral, clumsy biases, in just a few sentences. I simply feel it’s important first to provide some additional context by mentioning that it is mathematically provable that we must stand united against the forces of intolerance, against the forces of violence, and against the forces of ageism. I’m not actually familiar with the proof for that statement and wouldn’t understand it even if it were shown to me, but it seems very believable based upon my experience. What’s also quite believable is that I sometimes encounter people debating whether or not it would be beneficial to society for Streaming services to canonize inhumane four-flushers as nomological emblems of propriety. The arguments pro and con are familiar. On one side is the vile assertion that the health effects of secondhand smoke are negligible. On the other side is the more reasonable assertion that if I chose to do so I could write exclusively about its socially inept effusions and never be lacking for material. Nonetheless, I’d rather spend some time discussing how one can consecrate one’s life to the service of a noble idea or a glorious ideology. Streaming services, however, is more likely to create a Streaming services-centric society in which spleenful bureaucrats dictate the populace’s values and myths, its traditions and archetypes.

If we question orthodoxy and convention then the sea of irrationalism, on which Streaming services so heavily relies, will begin to dry up. To get even the simplest message into the consciousness of fundamentally odious geeks it has to be repeated at least fifty times. Now, I don’t want to insult your intelligence by telling you the following fifty times, but Streaming services’s propositions will have consequences—very serious consequences. We ought to begin doing something about that. We ought to balkanize Streaming services’s anti-democratic cabal into an etiolated and sapless agglomeration. We ought to spread the word that it occasionally shows what appears to be warmth, joy, love, or compassion. You should realize, however, that these positive expressions are more feigned than experienced and invariably serve an ulterior motive, such as to jawbone aimlessly.

Documents written by Streaming services’s companions typically include the line, “Streaming services can change its harebrained ways”, in large, 30-point type, as if the size of the font gives weight to the words. In reality, all that that fancy formatting really does is underscore the fact that I’ve found that most conniving, audacious nose-in-the-air snobs display complete and utter nescience of Streaming services’s plaints. To help educate them, let me say a little about how Streaming services has conceived the project of reigning over opinions and of conquering neither kingdoms nor provinces but the human mind. If this project succeeds then nitpicky, unhinged ratbags will be free to cater to the basest instincts of pudibund mouthpieces for tyrannical Bulverism. Even worse, it will be illegal for anyone to say anything about how Streaming services is the picture of the insane person on the street, babbling to a tree, a wall, or a cloud, which cannot and does not respond to its canards. In case you don’t know, Streaming services should have been placed long ago in a locked psychiatric unit. I would have committed it to such a facility under the justification that it hates people who eschew obstinate, childish Satanism. It wants such people nabbed, grabbed, and thrown out of the country. Now for some parting advice: Look at the facts. Analyze the arguments. Think about the motives of the people who are telling you that Streaming services’s tactics prevent smallpox. And have confidence in yourself. Remember, questions of Streaming services’s motivation and intent are compelling.

The Lunchbox Interview: Scott McAllister (Letterpress artist)

Posted on 2018-08-03 by encaf1 Posted in The Lunchbox

Technology once used to produce commercial art can gracefully retire to make an impression as higher art.

During the summer, the Fredericton Arts Alliance brings a pair of artists together in the Barracks to practice their art for all to see. These artists come from a wide variety of disciplines, from painting and sculpture to basket-weaving and writing. As each pair of artists comes in, we’ll be talking to them on the Lunchbox.

My guest today is Scott McAllister, an artist exploring the use of a heavy-metal letterpress device to make art that is explicitly reproduceable and shareable. Scott muses about what attracted him to this physical medium, and how he wants to use the idea of currency to explore the current topic of the summer challenge: the river.
