Bondo Chats With Ben Caplan – Interview
February 25, 2015 – Bondo had the chance to chat with singer/songwriter extraordinaire Ben Caplan over the phone before his Thursday night show at The Capital. The Hamilton born artist now calls Halifax his home, describing it as having that big town feel, adding that as long as you have a good head on your shoulders and an international airport nearby you can launch your career from anywhere when asked about why he hasn’t made the move to a big Canadian city.
Knowing that Canadian bands often take a beating when touring the USA, Bondo and Caplan also chat about why it has taken so long for him to finally embark on his first real American tour and the differences between American and European shows. Do Europeans appreciate artistry more?
Listen in to the full conversation and also find out the details of his upcoming album. Plus, we’re all listening to Ben Caplan, but haven’t you wondered what Ben Caplan is listening to??

A Legend Goes Boldly
by Jamie Brewer
brew@wmdradio.com
When I was a kid, I used to play “Star Trek” in the yard with my friends. We would look for t-shaped sticks that we’d use as makeshift phasers, and we would re-enact some of our favourite scenes from the movies. I would always get to be Kirk, and always to my surprise, I never had to argue with anyone about it. In fact, my friends seemed far more keen on pretending to be Mr. Spock and, until now, I never really understood why. Being the captain meant I got to lead our make-believe landing parties on whatever dangerous adventure I saw fit for all of us embark upon. I felt like the hero. What I didn’t really notice at the time, however, was that it was actually our “Spock” who got to lead us all safely out of the woods when it was time for us to holster our weapons and go inside for supper. Whether it was by swooping in at the last minute with volley of phaser fire and neck pinches, or by using his unmatched ingenuity to simply outsmart our made-up enemies, our Spock was always the unsung hero of our outdoor adventures.
And Spock was the hero…
In “Star Trek: The Motion Picture,” it was Spock who ventured out on his own to solve the logic puzzle that was V’ger. In “The Wrath of Khan”, it was Spock who paid the ultimate price to save his crew mates from certain death at the hands of a vengeful madman. In “The Search for Spock” – well that title speaks for itself. Here was a man worthy of abandoning everything for in the faintest hope of bringing his body back home to be repatriated with his consciousness (something, I might add, that he had the wherewithal to stow away in McCoy’s head moments before his death). The truth is Spock was, and remains the most pivotal of all characters in the original series and movies – so much so, that J.J. Abrams even crafted an alternate, rebooted universe where two Spocks can coexist…and no one seems to mind that. Why? Because not only did we get our next generation of “Star Trek” films, but we got to keep our favourite part of the original series. In fact, both movies in the rebooted universe depend so heavily on Nimoy’s Spock that they wouldn’t have worked without him.
Why is this? What is so special about Nimoy’s portrayal of Spock that gives him such influence on the trajectory of the shows and movies? As a parent of three young children, the answer to this is somewhat obvious. Leonard Nimoy’s Spock is the quintessential “adult in the room.” He brings us wisdom, impeccable judgment and all of the comforts and assurances that come with his mere presence. Sure, Kirk could lead an army of red-shirted officers to their predictable deaths without the slightest hint of insubordination, but only Spock could steer his impulsive friend clear of his own hubris. Kirk was indeed the captain, but Spock was the leader.
Veteran “Star Trek” actor, Tim Russ demonstrated these very same qualities in his portrayal of Commander Tuvok on “Star Trek Voyager.” Being a Vulcan is no easy feat. When I was in theatre, “acting” was defined as how we conveyed our emotions to the audience, so playing someone who isn’t supposed to have any at all must have been daunting. Granted, being half human, Spock could always be forgiven for the occasional emotional slip. Nonetheless, Leonard Nimoy created a unique template that serves as the model for everything Vulcan, and Tim Russ was able to use this to create his very own Vulcan persona in Tuvok.
I had the privilege of interviewing Tim Russ in November about “Star Trek Renegades,” a soon-to-be-released production that features, not only a reprise of his role of the stoic and deadpan Commander Tuvok, but also, like Nimoy before him, Russ also showcases his own talents as a director. Given the similarities in their roles both on set and behind the scenes, it seemed quite logical for me to reach out to him last night for some thoughts, and he kindly obliged with this to say about his Vulcan colleague:
“I knew Leonard Nimoy personally, and worked on stage with him years ago when I was in college. He was a very easy going, and genuine, as well as a wonderfully talented actor. I still cannot believe that after having worked with him so many years ago, I would have the opportunity to follow in his footsteps playing a Vulcan character on another Trek series.
I personally owe him a great debt of gratitude.
We all will miss him…myself in particular.”

Star Trek Voyager
Now, I don’t think I can think of a bigger Spock fan than my mother. Yesterday was her birthday and a few hours after we had already exchanged some lighthearted “Happy Birthday” texts, I received this:
…and I truly believe she is. Much like the rest of us.
While a return trip to the Mutara System is not an option, I’m sure it would make a splendid gift if we were running around the yard with t-shaped sticks and choosing our own reality as Leonard Nimoy inspired countless numbers of us to do as kids (and some as adults!). Alas, she’ll have to settle for the Captain Spock bobblehead I hastily packed in with her other gifts when we visit tomorrow; but I know it will make her smile. She will display it with pride, hoping someone will ask her “why the Spock?” so she can tell them how much she loves the character and respects the actor who portrayed him. Not bad for a last-minute gift I suppose.
This afternoon, I’m going to post this article and then I’m going to watch “The Wrath of Khan.” Not only is it one of my favourite movies of all time, but I’m not ashamed to admit that James Horner’s musical score always invokes tears of the best kind of joyful nostalgia. The first bars of the Mutara battle sequence are just so uplifting and then you are treated to a classic display of tactical warfare (with just a touch of dry wit for good measure!). It is also the turning point where Spock takes control of all destinies, leading to one of the most thrilling and heartbreaking sequences in Trek history.
Today I may have need to take some acting cues from the man himself in order to keep it together at the end, but I look forward to every minute of his performance and will be forever grateful for the gifts he has shared with us for well over 40 years and counting.
Farewell Leonard Nimoy. I have been, and always shall be your fan.
Do you have a favorite Leonard Nimoy moment or performance that you would like to share? Feel free to send me an email at brew@wmdradio.com. We’ll be taking some time on next week’s show to remember his work and we’d love to tell your stories as well.

In The Know Episode 9
Living on the bare minimum seems to be normal for the majority of us in Canada. Even with continued increases in minimum wage adjustments every so many years, these “adjustments” do not seem to help with the ever increasing cost of living for Canadians, which is always $5.00/hour more than any minimum wage “RAISE” that we get!
This is the “Wage Causing Rage” forum In The Know. Jason Lowage has been working at Canadian Tire in Squirrel Junction Newfoundland for awhile and is here to tell Canadians how frustrating it is to be living below the poverty line in Canada on minimum wage, and having to drink some nasty Gross Mourne screech because he cannot afford the “Good Stuff” at the local liquor store.
Franklin D. Roosevelt’s proposed second bill of rights from 1944 and a compelling CBC article featuring Canada’s NDP government is brought into this hilarious interview with one of Canada’s happiest but most frustrated Newfies “On Da Rock Der Boy!!!!!!!”
With a political satire commercial that is a perfect match for This Hour Has 22 Minutes or The Rick Mercer Report, and a parody song that will have much more than a “MINIMUM” effect on listeners working on minimum wage, you will be asking our government more questions about why one of the richest countries in the world has so many poor people surviving on “THE BARE MINIMUM” while a select few get to have OUR cake, and eat it too!!!!! Enjoy eh, this ones for you der boy!!!!!!!

Apathy Reigns in the Roman Empire
Roman Reigns.
Picture courtesy of WWE.com.
Against The Mat nor CHSR-FM own the rights to this image.
As of today, February 27, we are 30 days away from the biggest wrestling event of the year – WrestleMania. The 31st installment of the “show of shows” takes place on March 29th at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, CA on the WWE Network for only $9.99 (or $11.99 in Canada!). And thus far, the build to this show has been barely worth five bucks. Honestly, WWE is very lucky that the vast majority of people are going to watch on the network for ten dollars, because I cannot imagine people shelling out $70 to watch this on traditional PPV. And quite frankly, I am stunned that I feel this way.
More often than not, the period of time between January and April is typically the hottest time of year in WWE. January kicks the year into high gear with the number 2 PPV of the year, the Royal Rumble. This year however, they couldn’t shift out of park. The January 25th Rumble PPV that emanated from Philadelphia was nothing short of a disaster, for the second consecutive year. With the exception of the WWE title match, the show was very forgettable. One thing that will not be forgotten though, is the reaction to the Royal Rumble match, where Roman Reigns reigned supreme, and was the recipient of boos being rained upon him, as his “cousin” Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson (they’re not really related) attempted to stifle his frustration. The audience in Philadelphia set the course for what the “Road to WrestleMania” would come to look like at this point. Their passionate disapproval of the creative direction of the ‘Mania title program is quite glaring, even if you don’t follow the wrestling business closely. Anyone with any ounce of knowledge can tell that Roman Reigns is not ready for the spot for which he’s being groomed. This is compounded by the fact that he was programmed with the man that most people want to see in that spot in the first place – Daniel Bryan.
Bryan, who was forced into the main event picture last year, largely due to crowd reactions and CM Punk’s departure, has been embraced by the fan base as a main eventer, and the consummate under dog being held down by management. The fans feel a special bond with him that they don’t have with anyone else; they feel as if he’s their guy, their representative in the WWE world. He’s the guy that they willed into the WrestleMania XXX main event, and then he got hurt. He had to give up the title in order to have neck surgery last summer. He also encountered an elbow problem that kept him off the road even longer. The prognosis was unknown for months; nobody knew when he was coming back, with WrestleMania 31 being a potential long-shot. The Royal Rumble seemed unlikely. But then, on an episode of Raw a few weeks before the Rumble, Daniel Bryan made the announcement that he had been cleared and that he would be returning to action, and would be in the Royal Rumble match. At that point, the complexion of the WWE had changed, and the build to ‘Mania seemed like it had some new life injected into it; but that optimism has faded.
When Bryan made his return, the booking of WrestleMania seemed so obvious: Daniel Bryan wins the Rumble, and faces Brock Lesnar for the WWE title. Some may disagree, and say that I’m taking the “internet mark” position of siding with the internet darling Bryan, but watch the shows and listen to the crowd. Daniel Bryan has proven that he is over. Bryan has forged a connection with the audience that has led to him being the number 2 babyface in the company. Roman Reigns, at this point is struggling to make a connection. He’s got a great look and a great physical charisma, but that’s about it. His promos, largely because of the material, are sub-par. His ring skills are average at best. But that’s what Vince likes, so that’s what we’re going to get.
I’ll be honest, Brock vs. Reigns feels like a weak main event. Perhaps the weakest in recent memory, since at least the Hunter/Jericho match, but at least that show had Hogan vs. Rock. Aside from the snowstorm Raw the day after the Rumble, the build has been non-existent. I’m afraid of the reaction that the match will get, especially once Reigns wins. Reigns has been getting somewhat mixed reactions, however they’re nothing near what they should be for man in his position. John Cena gets a mixed reaction, but it’s passionate. People care about Cena, whether they like him or don’t, he gets a great response. Reigns’ reception seems more like apathy. People have conceded that fact that the Roman Empire will run wild in the WWE for the time being, but I don’t think the majority of fans on board. It’s more acceptance than excitement. And that sums up this year’s WrestleMania more than anything, it’s more acceptance and apathy than excitement. Aside from the novelty of Sting’s first WWE match, and seeing whether Undertaker will disintegrate, what is there to get excited about?
To me, it all starts at the top of the card. The main event is the tip of the pyramid, and everything else falls into place underneath. Brock vs. Reigns is a disappointment. Even though we’ve known forever that this would be the main event, there’s no anticipation. It’s colder than a nun’s tit. When Roman Reigns beat Daniel Bryan at Fast Lane, you could feel the air being let out of the sails of the company. Deep down everyone knew it was happening, but most people also know when they’re going for a colonoscopy, but that doesn’t make it any easier.
I want to be excited for this show. I mean, it is WrestleMania, and it’s the biggest show of the year. But the idea that Daniel Bryan could be wrestling for the Intercontinental Championship in a multi-challenger ladder match is mind-boggling to me. I’d much rather see him work Sheamus in a singles match, where there’s an actual story, not just a hollow trainwreck ladder match. I guess we’ll see what happens in the weeks to come.
I’m not ready to throw in the white towel just yet. They still have 30 days to get me interested in this show, but it’s going to take a lot of work to get me to where I was this time last year. But then again, last year they actually listened to the audience and put the right guy over, rather than blindly do what they pleased. Last year, there was real excitement and anticipation surrounding “The Granddaddy of Them All”, this year it’s apathy and malaise. It’s a sad state of affairs in the Roman Empire.

Donair Kitchen Party Radio Show – Episode 3 – “Loss”
This week on Donair Kitchen Party Radio Show, Mike tried to cope with the absence of his co-host and Donair Life Partner, Henry Svec. Like most people, he handled it in the most unhealthy way: stress eating (Donairs) with another person (an attempt to “replace” Henry). Local music luminary and all-around supercooldude Chris MacLean came in, spun a yarn, and enjoyed some special donair times. They played tracks by Real Estate, Adam Mowry, Church Purposes, LCD Soundsystem, Calexico, and otherrrrrrrs. It was pretty good, I guess.

The Lunchbox Interviews: Eddie Young (Root & Soul Music Room); Brydon Crane (Community Arts Gathering)
Where is the art in your community?
Well, it might just be in your community!
My guests today represent the integration between these things, the idea that art is not separate from community, but rather thrives within it. Eddie Young operates the Roots & Soul Music Room venue out of his living room. He’s crowdfunding to buy a permanent set of amps and other necessary equipment so that he can host more bands and do it better. Brydon Crane is a member of the Shifty Bits Cult, a group of musicians and artists who are seeking to create more integration. They’re holding an open meeting tonight called the Community Arts Gathering, in which they hope to talk with you about ways the arts community can work together even more.
Music today:
- Amelia Curran declares that I Am The Night (from They Promised You Mercy);
- We get a chance to Break Away with Silent Army (who have High Hopes);
- And the cross-art artists of Earthbound Trio tell about Mother (from Lettuce, Turnip, The Beet).
