Instant Breakfast, Thursday, May 31st

We return with yet another week of insanity because OF COURSE WE DO. I’ve only missed like four episodes over the past eight years, are you kidding me? ANYWAY, send me requests, or don’t because you like my music, I get it.

We have a lot of solid releases to get to and so many of my beloved bands from the show’s origins have announced new releases coming “soon” – I can’t wait. Do you have a band you love that gets little to no airplay? Tell me these things, people.

Playlist:
Philadelphia – Dorothy
Rocket – The Pack AD
Ghosts – Rockyard
Stains and Burns – Like A Motorcycle
54321 – Hot Wires
Wild – The Standstills
Keepers – Miracle of Sound
We Were Born To Kill Each Other – Die So Fluid
The Tree And The Serpent / Diesel Breath – Sergeant Thunderhoof
Make Me Sick – Worst Part
Save Us All – Sandveiss

The Lunchbox Interview: Denise Billings, Pamela Young (MMFC)

Posted on 2018-05-25 by encaf1 Posted in The Lunchbox

There are a lot of wonderful agencies that want to help people going through trauma associated with violence. But how well do they work together?

My guests today are Denise Billings and Pamela Young. They are working on a project at the Muriel McQueen Fergusson Foundation to help multiple service providers related to trauma specifically with people with disabilities find ways to work and talk together, and to help them be aware of each other. We talk about the need they are addressing, some of the factors which complicate matters (such as intersectionality and prejudice) and the upcoming week of presentations for Crime Week.

The Lunchbox Interview: Jennifer Lee Wiebe (Abstracts 1-12)

Posted on 2018-05-24 by encaf1 Posted in The Lunchbox

Sometimes, things have to be broken down to their essential bits in order to really understand them — even if it doesn’t reflect anything recognizable.

My guest today is abstract artist Jennifer Lee Wiebe. Her most recent exhibition, Abstracts 1-12, opens this week on Friday, May 25 at 5pm at the UNB Art Centre. She joins me to talk about her appreciation of abstract art, her hoarding of paint-by-number artwork, and how those things came together to make this exhibition.

We spend so much of our lives getting older — shouldn’t we enjoy it when we make it there?

They have a multi-media exhibition coming to the UNB Art Centre on May 25, and join me to talk about the motivations of age for art, their themes in the exhibition (ranging from emptiness to humour) and how we need to appreciate and enjoy life more and more as we get older.
