Solo News Box, Kevin Posted the Drawing I Gave Him on His Instagram This Month
With my proofreader on holiday in China and Liam touring America with Steven Page, I’m writing solo this issue; all typos are therefore my fault and you can shout at me for them. Lots of Steve news this issue. It’s nice now the uncertainty between them has cleared and I no longer have to feel awkward about including Steve news in here. As for his new album, I’d describe it as a Beatles-inspired soundtrack to a Broadway musical about the current political climate; your mileage will vary depending on how appealing that idea sounds to you. And since this is kind of my solo news box, Kevin posted the drawing I gave him on his Instagram this month. Considering it took 9 months to draw, I’m really glad he and so many others like it.

Unsettling the White Noise: Deconstructing the Nation-Building
Unsettling the White Noise: Deconstructing the Nation-Building Project of CBC Radio One’s Canada Reads By Emily M. Burns A thesis submitted to the Graduate Program in the Department of Gender Studies in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada August, 2012 Copyright @ Emily M. Burns, 2012 Abstract The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s Canada Reads program, based on the popular television show Survivor, welcomes five Canadian personalities to defend one Canadian book, per year, that they believe all Canadians should read. The program signifies a common discourse in Canada as a nation-state regarding its own lack of coherent and fixed identity, and can be understood as a nationalist project. I am working with Canada Reads as an existing archive, utilizing materials as both individual and interconnected entities in a larger and ongoing process of cultural production – and it is important to note that it is impossible to separate cultural production from cultural consumption. Each year offers a different set of insights that can be consumed in their own right, which is why this project is written in the present tense. Focusing on the first ten years of the Canada Reads competition, I argue that Canada Reads plays a specific and calculated role in the CBC’s goal of nation-building: one that obfuscates repressive national histories and legacies and instead promotes the transformative powers of literacy as that which can conquer historical and contemporary inequalities of all types. This research lays bare the imagined and idealized ‘communities’ of Canada Reads audiences that the CBC wishes to reflect in its programming, and complicates this construction as one that abdicates contemporary responsibilities of settlers.

Matthew Capel Thesis 18 September 2007
'Damned If They Do And Damned If They Don't': The Inferiority Complex, Nationalism, and Maclean's Music Coverage, 1967-1995 By Gordon Matthew Donald Capel A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in History Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2007 © Gordon Matthew Donald Capel 2007 Author's Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as required by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract This thesis critically analyses music coverage in Maclean’s between 1967-1995, and reveals that the magazine continually stressed Canadian music as inferior to that produced by foreign artists. Only during times of intense nationalism were Canadian musicians positively received in its pages. More generally, domestic productions were seen as deficient. The historical components of this investigation reveal an essential irony in the perception of Canadian music during the last four decades of the 20th century. Despite nationalist rhetorics and Maclean's self-appointed title of "Canada's National Newsmagazine," its critics consistently emphasised that Canadian music was of poor quality in the 1967-1995 period. iii Acknowledgements I would like to express my gratitude to all those wonderful people who helped me complete this thesis. First, I must applaud my thesis advisor P. Whitney Lackenbauer for his motivation, discerning eye, and willingness to tell me when something wasn't history. For this confused, stubborn, and excitable grad student, your support cannot be overstated.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Steven Page and Andy Maize Join WSO For
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Steven Page and Andy Maize Join WSO for Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, April 8-10 Winnipeg, MB – March 29, 2016 – Steven Page (formerly Barenaked Ladies), Andy Maize (Skydiggers), Craig Northey (Odds), and Glen Phillips (Toad the Wet Sprocket) with the Art of Time ensemble join the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra (WSO) to reimagine The Beatles’ groundbreaking 1967 album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, April 8-10. “Performing with a full orchestra is exhilarating, there’s nothing like it,” said Page. “Singing in front of an ensemble of that many musicians, and of that many musicians of that caliber is every bit as thrilling as anybody would imagine it to be. It’s also a little bit nerve- wracking, but mostly it’s just a really moving and exciting experience.” In the spring of 2012, the Art of Time Ensemble (with Andrew Burashko at the helm) took on the challenge of rebuilding The Beatles’ iconic masterpiece Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. The original recording was heralded by Rolling Stone magazine as “the most important rock & roll album ever made.” At the 45th anniversary of its release, Sgt. Pepper was the perfect canvas upon which Art of Time could paint with its own brush. “Art of Time chooses to rebuild magic, not restore it. The Beatles loved to turn us on, and so too does Burashko and his friends.” - The Globe and Mail. Drawing on an original recording rich in experimentation, Art of Time commissioned new arrangements that range from faithful homages to soaring new interpretations, all while preserving the vocal melodies and harmonies as Lennon & McCartney first intended.
