Shad (Shadrach Kabango) has emphatically emerged as one of Canada’s most gifted young hip-hop artists. After garnering groundbreaking reviews on his independent 2005 debut When This is Over, Shad seems to have effortlessly leaped over huge expectations with his 2007 sophomore release, The Old Prince. Shad stepped into the Canadian music scene, winning first prize at 91.5 FM’s (London, ON) annual Rhythm of the Future unsigned talent competition. Shad put the $17,500 prize towards recording resources for his debut, while completing an Honours Bachelor of Business Administration degree at Wilfrid Laurier University. When This is Over earned endless respect for its honest and clever lyrics and its distinct musical aesthetic. Shad toured the album, selling out solo shows in Toronto and London, playing for campuses across the country, and landing opening spots for the likes of Common, Lupe Fiasco, Classified and The Slip. His constantly developing fan base and reputation as a performing musician also landed Shad invaluable stage-time at a variety of festivals including Hillside, the PTBO Folk Festival, Wakestock and Manifesto. Shad’s growth as a musician shines through on The Old Prince. Smashing expectations, Shad has attained lightning reviews across the board, including a spot in Exclaim’s Top 10 Hip Hop Albums of the Year, 5 N’s in Now Magazine, an epic album review on the internationally read and extremely critical hip-hop site, Okayplayer.com, and a 2008 Juno Nomination for Rap Recording of the Year. With two instant classics under his belt, Shad continues to walk the humble path he always has. He appreciates the chance to make and share his music, and he feels really lucky to have his art received the way it is. For Shad, it’s really as simple as that.

Over the weekend, CFRU’s Peter Bradley kinda surprised the shit out of a bunch of people in Guelph, Ontario by successfully inviting New York’s the Fiery Furnaces to play a secret house show in his attic. After a Saturday night performance in Toronto (and just a couple of days before their new ‘Fiery Furnaces-cover-Fiery Furnaces’ EP, Take Me Round Again was released), Eleanor and Matthew Friedberger, drummer Bob D’Amico, and (Sebadoh) bassist Jason Lowenstein played Guelph at 1:00 PM en route to their Sunday night gig in London and they were really terrific, singing new songs, and utilizing the house Wurlitzer, as well as various pots, pans, and maybe a suitcase for percussion.
Bradley documented the whole thing for his Friday morning radio show, including an impromptu Q&A with the 30 or so people on-hand. I chimed in with a question about the buzz surrounding the recent (and supposed) Fiery Furnaces/Radiohead “feud.” Here’s how the discussion went:
Vish: I keep reading about this feud with Radiohead?
Matthew Friedberger: I’m sure Radiohead is very concerned about it (audience laughs).
V: I hear they’re really concerned. Do you wanna comment on this; it came up again this week.
MF: Uh…yeah, um. It’s just kinda nonsense. In a long interview, I was saying, ‘Can you be negative about other bands? And which bands would you pick to be negative about where it wouldn’t hurt their feelings or influence them?’ And I said, ‘Well, Radiohead would be one. No one would care. It wouldn’t affect them if you said Radiohead sucked.’ And then I went on to say how you might say Radiohead suck (audience laughs). And I actually don’t like Radiohead. Personally, just between you and me. I mean I don’t have any regard for them, positive or negative. Which, I guess is negative.
V: You’re not indifferent but?…
MF: I am indifferent but I suppose that’s really negative. I don’t have any time for them. There’s a lot of music. So, I said that but, of course, that was quoted as an individual story—just me saying those things. And it’s not that I didn’t say them—I did. But once it got quoted, I didn’t wanna say ‘Oh I’m sorry; I was misquoted. It’s all a misunderstanding.’ That’s no fun. You have to say, ‘Radiohead; yes they do stink (audience laughs)!’ But it’s an interesting issue because I think, if you’re in a rock band and you do get interviewed, unlike a politician you can’t be concerned with saying something that might be misquoted. You should welcome being misquoted. You can’t be concerned with trying to control the context or censor yourself or stay on message in such a way that anything you say can’t be embarrassing, unflattering, and inflammatory. You should say things and people can make it their own. Just like when you make a record, people use it how ever they like. That should extend to all practices in your rock-related activities.
V: Have they responded in any way? Is it actually a feud or just things you’ve said?
Eleanor Friedberger: No, it’s not a feud
As the Q&A, went on, Bradley asked about Matthew’s “retraction” amid the Harry Partch/Harry Patch confusion that was part of this whole Radiohead debacle. Eventually Matthew outlined a plan he claimed he proposed to FF’s publicist, where a press release would be distributed stating that he was entering rehab and that his comments stemmed from his state of mind. “Oh, you’ve blown it now,” Eleanor responded to this faux revelation, but Matthew playfully continued on with the anecdote.
It was all somewhat interesting and you can hear this part of the exchange right here.
