NSTS Episode 012 - Music Historian Alan Cross

It was my privilege to host the legendary Alan Cross in Episode 12, voice of that iconic Canadian music doc we've all listened to at some point in our lives - The Ongoing History of New Music . As Alan and I talk about the songs that make his skin vibrate, he tells some incredible stories about the things he touched in Abbey Road Studios, how he perplexed Paul McCartney, and his hilarious discussion with Pete Townsend about the instrumentation in "Won't Get Fooled Again". And after we get throug...

NSTS Episode 011 - NSTS Host Brent Jensen

Whoa!!! My man Jamie Blaine takes over the show all the way from Nashville and plays the role of host, allowing me to get in on the fun and talk a little bit about the songs that make MY skin vibrate. Jamie does an outstanding hosting job, taking me through that very wide spectrum of emotions that all my songs conjure up - the cocaine, the Quaaludes, and everything in between. My playlist: AC/DC - Sin City Paul McCartney - Maybe I'm Amazed Led Zeppelin - Down By The Seaside Aimee Mann - Wise Up ...

NSTS Episode 010 - Kent Bailey

No Sleep Til Sudbury takes a complete left turn in Episode 10 as my close pal Kent Bailey drops by to give me a tutorial on the history of Hip Hop. Even if he was a suburban white kid, dude knows his stuff. Listen along as Bailey discusses his traumatic introduction to music, his resemblance to Canadian rapper Kish, the Funky Drummer sampling phenomenon, and so much more. He even namechecks a Slayer band member! That's my boy. Bailey's playlist: The Beastie Boys - No Sleep Til Brooklyn Maestro F...

NSTS Episode 009 - Writer Christopher Long

My old promo tour buddy from Florida Chris Long, also known as The Pink Chief, joins me in Episode 9 to riff on music like no one else can. This dude is a lunatic, and I love him for it. During our chat, Long calls out the sterility of New Country, wonders what Keith Richards is whispering in Mick Jagger's ear, comes clean about his fantasies, and turns the tables on me with some questions of his own. The Chief's playlist: The Rolling Stones - Hot Stuff Led Zeppelin - Tangerine The Black Crowes ...

NSTS Episode 008 - Nashville Author Jamie Blaine

My brother from Tennessee, Jamie Blaine, writes for like 70 different magazines and still has time to drop by the show for a few laughs, bless his heart. Listen in as we talk about the peculiarity that is Krokus, what it must have been like for Gene and Paul to hear Ace's solo album for the first time, Lemmy's beautiful ugliness, and Jamie's woeful Rush experiment. Turns out he does some great impressions too! Blaine's playlist: Black Sabbath - Solitude Ace Frehley - Snowblind Ted Nugent - Stran...

NSTS Episode 007 - Rachel Sumner

Learning design specialist and close friend Rachel Sumner drops by in Episode 7 with a highly inspiring and very interesting spin on the No Sleep Til Sudbury playlist concept, as she presents a collection of British female songwriters that taught her how to 'feel' as a British woman in her formative years. And, she scores additional points for being a Joni Mitchell fan. Sumner's playlist: Kristy McColl - A New England Alison Moyet - Love Letters Eddi Reader - Patience of Angels Sharlene Spiteri ...

NSTS Episode 006 - Robin Washington

In Episode 6, Robin Washington's love of music is only slightly eclipsed by her gift for being a wisecracking smartass. Listen as she discusses her grandfather's pimp tendencies, her hilarious account of listening to The Black Crowes' Amorica record on Spotify, her adoration of Prince, and her complete disdain for me. Washington's playlist: Stacey Q - Two of Hearts Stevie Wonder - Sir Duke Michael Jackson - Working Day & Night Fleetwood Mac - Silver Springs Alice in Chains - No Excuses The B...

NSTS Episode 005 - UK Author Joel McIver

Prolific UK author, respected music journalist, and all-around great guy Joel McIver joins me via Skype from across the pond to discuss all manner of things, including the dark details inside Soft Cell's lyrics, a Ronnie James Dio children's song (seriously!), and the curious punk rock absurdity behind Kim Wilde's "Kids in America". All this and Cannibal Corpse and The Beatles too! McIver's playlist: Ronnie James Dio/Butterfly Ball - Sitting in a Dream The Beatles - Help! Soft Cell - Bedsitter K...

NSTS Episode 004 - Psychologist Dr. Liam Ennis

Psychologist and distinguished music freak Dr. Liam Ennis joins me via Skype to chat about things like the goings-on inside Al Green's crazy church in Memphis, why certain Beatles fans want to spit in his face, his favourite Tragically Hip lyric, and who has the absolute best rock and roll scream in the history of the genre. The Good Doctor's playlist: The Who - Young Man's Blues The Tragically Hip - Flamenco Al Green - Love and Happiness Bruce Springsteen - State Trooper Speed Trap Town - Jason...

NSTS Episode 003 - Q104.3 NYC's Ian O'Malley

In episode 3 my pally from the valley, longtime New York radio and entertainment personality Ian O'Malley, joins me over Skype from Connecticut to talk about the songs that represent the incredible adventures he's had during his 35 years in the business. O'Malley's stories are always epic, and he shares a few of them with us during our chat - a hilarious encounter with Judas Priest's Rob Halford during a barbeque at former Skid Row singer Sebastian Bach's house in New Jersey, Motley Crue bassist...

NSTS Episode 002 - 94.9 On-Air Personality Lee Eckley

My favourite on-air personality in the Greater Toronto Area, Lee Eckley from 94.9 The Rock, brings over some beers and a great list of classic rock and jazz songs to discuss. And you're gonna love the Rick James story he tells at the end of the episode. Eckley's playlist: Big Star - Thirteen Todd Rundgren - I Can't Stop Running Chris Squire - Hold Out Your Hand Mick Taylor - Giddy Up Miles Davis - Kind of Blue The Beatles - Tomorrow Never Knows Frank Zappa - Inca Roads Phish - Waste...
