The Lunchbox: Discussion: Vacation, Holidays, Relaxation

LunchBoxMonday was a holiday, but everyone seems tired. Did we all fail to relax? And how many times have you gone on vacation, but check your voicemail or carry your cell phone? Do you go home from work every night, but check your email and answer work-related queries until midnight, at home?

Cedric and I discuss this, starting from Melon Day in Turkmenistan, and debate the issue.

The Lunchbox: Interview: Talking Songwriting with Nick Murrins (Sleepers)

Lunchbox-SleepersIt is my great pleasure to interview — and just talk with — creative types. Today we spoke with local singer/songwriter/musician Nick Murrins about his side-project’s new self-titled EP, Sleepers. Join Cedric Noel and I as we discuss the development of the EP, timeless songwriting and rather the opposite of yesterday’s talk: going from one-man-band* in the recording studio to a full band on stage.

(*Actually, Nick’s brother helped him with the album, but it is in essence all him!)

The Lunchbox: Discussion: Recent Music Festivals/Live vs Machine Band Members

LunchBox-festivalsOver the weekend, all of us attended very different events! Cedric went to SappyFest in Sackville, NB; I was the DJ/MC at the country Johnville Picnic; and Tim arranged, hosted and oversaw the Bangers & Breakers two-day of performances arranged by CHSR.

We discuss the fun times we all had this weekend, which transforms into a discussion of the use of machine band-members (drum machines, backing tracks, lighting) in live performances.
