  • Bio // Jason Collet // Rat a Tat Tat
    BIO // JASON COLLET // RAT A TAT TAT Album: Rat A Tat Tat Catalogue #: A&C052 Format: DD / CD / 1xLP Canada Release Date: March 9, 2010 International Release Date: March 9, 2010 They say that life begins at 40, but in the case of Jason Collett, that’s not just some overly optimistic bumper- sticker slogan. To many indie-rock fans, Jason Collett is the wise, big-brother character in Broken Social Scene: the calm, cool, collected totem of stability in a band defined by drama and chaos — “our Tom Petty figure,” as BSS figurehead Kevin Drew once (half-jokingly) dubbed him. But this reading of Collett belies the restless, curious spirit that he’s exhibited throughout his solo career outside of Broken Social Scene. For someone who’s been a fixture on the Toronto live-music circuit for two decades, you could totally understand if an artist of Collett’s experience and vintage settled into a country-rock comfort zone, and kept strumming the same ol’ songs until his ears gave out. But at the core of Collett’s big brotherly wisdom is the idea that, the older you get, the more you realize there’s still so much to learn. To wit, Rat a Tat Tat: the fourth album to bear Jason Collett’s name, but the first to make you double-check who you’re actually listening to: as the opening elegy “Rave On Sad Songs” blossoms from a solitary serenade into an Irish-pub last-call waltz, we hear a voice that’s several degrees more conversational and starkly unaffected than the one heard on previous Collett signatures like “Tiny Ocean of Tears,” “Almost Summer” or “Out of Time.” But it’s a gesture that perfectly suits a song wherein Collett seemingly bids farewell to the maudlin confessionals that can define — and restrict — many a singer-songwriter.

  • Talk Into Tune
    Talk into tune When Toronto musician Charles Spearin asked his neighbours about happiness, he didn't just listen to their answers - he turned them into songs CARL WILSON From Wednesday's Globe and Mail Published on Tuesday, Feb. 10, 2009 4:45PM EST Last updated on Thursday, Apr. 09, 2009 11:39PM EDT As a piano-trumpet duo skitters around her, a person with a pleasant professional accent talks about her work with “challenged young women” who tell her “all the time” that they're happy. “Some of their expectations are so simplistic – not to say simplicity because they're challenged … ” Then the thought strikes: “It's like they don't ask beyond of what's present.” Immediately the voice repeats: “It's like they don't ask beyond of what's present.” And again: “It's like they don't ask beyond of what's present.” At which point the music makes its own breakthrough. Keyboard and horn link arms with bass and drums and kick out a chorus to the precise tune and tempo of the woman's words. You can almost see her with brass band and challenged charges on parade through New Orleans, fanfaring their be-here-now anthem – sing it, sister! – It's Like They Don't Ask Beyond of What's Present! This is Anna, Track 2 of The Happiness Project, the first solo album by Toronto musician Charles Spearin, which was released yesterday. Actually, solo is a misnomer. A multi-instrumentalist with tight-knit space-rock ensemble Do Make Say Think as well as that legions-strong study in socio-rockology, the popular band Broken Social Scene, Spearin prefers company – in this case, his whole neighbourhood.
