Canadian singer-songwriter Jade Bird first took the jagged little pill as a kid -- yes, that Jagged Little Pill. It might have tasted bitter at the time, but ever since, her admiration for Alanis Morissette and her groundbreaking album has only grown. Listen to her chat about the Morissette and her seminal 1995 record on this episode of The Spark Parade.
While Bird's first introduction to Jagged Little Pill was as a child, it wasn't until she began to embark on her own creative journey that the record's power truly revealed itself. The more she listened, the more she was in awe of the album's energetic songwriting, feminist themes, and confessional lyrics.

Rapper Rico Nasty and producer/DJ Boys Noize have made a habit out of turning genres on their head, stepping outside of drawn lines, and adding a somewhat aggressive bent to whatever project they happen to be currently working on. So, it comes as no surprise that both absolutely love the idiosyncratic, wildly creative, one-of-a-kind artist Arca. Listen to Rico Nasty and Boys Noize explain why they admire Arca so much on this episode of The Spark Parade wherever you get your podcasts.
Both Rico Nasty and Boys Noize immediately took to Arca's talents of melding genres, her boundless imagination, and her prolific output. "It's one of my favorite things to see in music," Rico Nasty explains. "It's just something to be studied. The grind is insane, for real."
"I'm going to go out there and say that she might be the greatest artist of our generation right now," Boys Noize adds. "When you see her perform or you listen to her music, it makes people so confident, as well, [in] being different or not being afraid to be who you are. That's so powerful."

X Ambassador's frontman Sam Nelson Harris was so blown away by Richard Linklater's bold and wildly ambitious film Boyhood that he saw it twice in the same day. And it's a three-hour movie! Sam was struck by the dedication needed to create a film in small increments over 12 years, but it was the end result that really made an impact. He saw himself in the story of a young boy growing up and facing all of the joys and challenges of childhood.

Fallout actors Ella Purnell and Aaron Moten understand the power of artistic re-interpretation. So, when it comes to their respective 'sparks,' both actors chose songs performed by someone other than who originally wrote the piece. Purnell gravitated towards Brandi Carlile’s breakout hit “The Story,” which was originally recorded by members of her band, while Moten picked Glenn Gould’s recording of the “Goldberg Variations,” which was originally penned by, well, Johann Sebastian Bach. Listen to the two chat on this episode of The Spark Parade wherever you get your podcasts.
