In the mid 2000s, Kevin’s genre-busting band Broken Social Scene changed the indie music landscape in Canada and around the world, and his label helped break acts like Feist, Stars and The Dears. We talk about how I was the first artist signed to A&C who wasn’t previously a friend of his, and how at the time, he didn’t like my music. What a jerk!
Among other things, we chat about:
how naivety can be a superpower in creative settings
how social media has removed mystery from music discovery
the origins and popular rise of Broken Social Scene
crappy bosses
Ennio Morricone’s film scores
the music industry
“aboutism”
This episode features a surprise needle drop of “You Don’t Wanna Leave It Alone” by J.E. Sunde.
