Episode 22 of the Polaris Podcast was one of a four-part series dedicated to albums that received Slaight Family Polaris Heritage Prize designation — hall of fame, basically.
For this episode we talked about Neil Young’s Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere and then had an interview with Quebec legend Jean-Pierre Ferland about his album Jaune.

The Magnificent Seven
One of Sarah’s all-time favourite random facts is that everyone had diarrhea on the set of the classic 1960 western The Magnificent Seven.
Recently Sarah expanded on this runny bit of info in a sprawling essay for Medium that tackled the trots, toxic masculinity and one of her all-time favourite actors, Robert Vaughn.
If it sounds like a lot to take in, well, it is.

Danko Jones podcast
One of my favourite thing I worked on this year was helping edit international rock ‘n’ roll star Danko Jones’ new book I’ve Got Something To Say.
To help promote said book Danko had me on his long-running podcast in the fall.
We didn’t actually do much “promotion” of the book, but we sure had a time gossiping and light trash talking all sorts of things music.

Roy Orbison In Dreams hologram show
It was with some intense curiosity that Sarah and I recently attended a performance of the Roy Orbison “In Dreams” hologram show.
Would the show be good? Would the music be good? How realistic would the hologram be? These were all obvious questions going into the show.
These were not, however, the questions Sarah ended up pondering at length after watching the whole thing.
She wrote on all these questions in a piece for Medium.

First Man
In First Man actor/musician/meme Ryan Gosling takes on the role of Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon.
When Sarah saw the film at TIFF this year she appreciated the simple physical storytelling of the film.
