    Ep. 80 - Sunshine Express's Worst Song: Collabfest, Sunglasses, and NAC

    On this (super early) new Monday episode we have the great Sunshine Express! This was a chaos in the best way. We've got multiple members, surprise members, people who didn't know this was a podcast, "characters", and more. A really fantastic, creative group of people. I don't know what I can say other than check them out at Collabfest down in the Niagara region and stream their music! They deserve your support. Enjoy!

    Ep. 79 - Sydney Riley's Worst Song: Collingwood Busking, Barrie Punk, and Trailers

    On this new Monday episode we have the great Sydney Riley! This was a thrill of a conversation -- lots of laughs -- but more importantly lots of insights into smaller music scenes such as the ones existing in Collingwood, Wasaga, and Barrie. Collingwood, in particular, is notable because of (Sydney says) the local folks' appreciation for buskers. Enjoy!
