  • Martin Tielli Interview Part 1 of 4
    The Martin Tielli Interview 23Aug2013 Part 1 of 4 By Darrin Cappe Martin Tielli used to work as a Scientific Illustrator at The Royal Ontario Museum. Then he joined a band called Rheostatics with Dave Bidini, Tim Vesely and Dave Clark (later replaced by Don Kerr and then Michael Wojewoda). He painted and sang and played guitar and wrote songs for 20 years. They became popular, not so much in a mainstream way, though they had one hit with Claire in 1994. They were giants to those who really got what they were about. Some consider them the best band ever to come out of Canada. Between Movie Soundtracks, Children’s albums, Music about Painters, Prog/Pop/Punk albums, dope fiends, shaved heads, variety stores, arms sticking out of the snow, dogs and observatories sharing names, fish, boats, water, monkeybirds, Saskatchewan, cannibalism, WKRP based invasions from space, Barenaked Ladies, Bourbons, 3 drummers, fake opening bands, guest musician nights, fights, boozehounds, jokes, laryngitis, more fish, cats called happiness, girls singing songs in Portuguese holding stuffed chickens, they were certainly one of a kind, the likes of which will probably never be seen again. They broke up in 2007 after 10 studio albums, one movie soundtrack and one of the best Live albums ever released. They tried for a 4 show reunion in December 2012 but it fell apart just prior, pissing off some and disappointing others amidst claims of demons and stage fright. Martin’s other band is Nick Buzz who released their first album Circo in 1995. Their second, Berlin Cabarets was released in 2010 as part of Martin’s 2003 Subscription Series of 4 albums.

  • RHEOSTATICS Albums Ranked by Darrin Cappe Sitting by a Lake In
    RHEOSTATICS Albums Ranked by Darrin Cappe Sitting by a lake in Muskoka in the middle of summer 2019 I decided maybe it was time for an in depth look at the studio works from the Canadian band Rheostatics. Then I thought hey I should rank them so that fans can argue about why I’m wrong. That’s the thing about this band, though, they have so many great albums it is not surprising people’s opinions on what their personal ranking would be varies so greatly. With 11 studio albums over 17 years there is a lot of material to consider. And where better to consider it than in the beauty of the Canadian outdoors. Actually, I was inside but lovely surroundings, nevertheless. Briefly the band formed in the late 1970s and released their first new wave inspired single My Generation/Satellite Dancing in 1982. The core trio of Dave Clark on Drums, Dave Bidini on guitar and vocals and Tim Vesely on bass and vocals forged their sound in and around Toronto adding a brass section called The Trans Canada Soul Patrol for a couple years in the mid 80s before jettisoning them and adding their magic weapon in the form of Martin Tielli, guitar virtuoso and a voice like no other. They played back and forth and back across the country and in 1987 recorded their first album Greatest Hits. Then the broke up for the first time. Then they got back together for the first time and teamed up with producer Michael Phillip Wojewoda to record Melville, followed by Whale Music.

Where forest fires are concerned, the loss of human life is the greatest risk, but forests themselves need fires as a natural way of staying healthy and green. “Environmentally, forests need to have fires,” said University of Winnipeg Forestry graduate Jennifer Joa.“In places like Riding Mountain National Park we’ve let the forest grow more than we should have. Right now it’s basically one big tinder block.” Because the forest here has not been allowed to burn, even under controlled cir- cumstances, there is a great risk that a fire in the future could easily become out of con- trol. The dry and dead trees found in this forest are extremely flammable and would create a massive and dangerous fire. No one has been killed in a Manitoba forest fire for many years and this has to do partly with the fire detection procedures carried out by Manitoba Conservation. When lightning strikes anywhere in Manitoba, it can be monitored on a comput- er screen. Other fires are found through air detection and through reports from the public. Forest fire season in Manitoba usually Fire Prevent Heats Up as begins when the warm weather sets in around mid March or April and lasts until the beginning of September when there is more humidity and precipitation.
