I drove down to Washington D.C. with Jim Guthrie and his band (Samir Khan, Jordan Howard, Randy Lee, Marshall Bureau, and J. J. Ipsen) so they could record a Tiny Desk Concert at NPR for All Songs Considered . We almost got sent home at the border. Bob Boilen and Robin Hilton were kind to me and gave me the lowdown on different things. We all shared our feelings and dirty jokes. I had a mini-nervous breakdown during the show. Jim almost fought me. Good times.

Surprise surprise, another podcast this week. Even I’m surprised, surprised. I speak to Graham Wright about Tokyo Police Club playing the Red Bull Tour Bus (it’s a robot stage/bus hybrid!) for a free show in Toronto on June 2, why he feels bad for Mayor Rob Ford, and why he’s super excited about TPC’s new LP. Good talk.

This week:

Is Mayor Rob Ford beyond sympathy? Have these allegations of substance abuse humanized him in some way? Musician, author, and Toronto citizen Dave Bidini says no and pretty much no.

A new supergroup called the Good Family crosses generations, bringing the Good Brothers and the Sadies together for a new LP and shows at the Starlight in Waterloo on May 30 and the Casbah in Hamilton on June 1. I speak to Bruce Good and his son Travis Good about this.

It’s festival season and Exclaim! Magazine just published an extensive guide to music fests across Canada. Editor Carly Lewis tells us more about what’s happening there.

And the Rolling Stones played the Air Canada Centre in Toronto on May 25. Stones fan and Hillside Festival Artistic Director Sam Baijal gives us a report on the show and talks about why some Stones tickets are $1500 each!!!!!!!!!!!?!
