When Winnipeg melodic-punk heroes The Bonaduces reunited a few years ago, there were no plans for anything big, other than just playing for fun. Now, for the first time since the band’s landmark 1998 record- ing The Democracy of Sleep, the beloved four piece is releasing something new. It’s just a digital single, something the band is attempting to sell short (how very Rob Gordon of them), but even still it’s exciting. Managing Editor Nicholas Friesen had a chat with the band’s Doug McLean and his label cohort Shad Bas- sett about their collective, Parliament of Trees, and all things Bonaduces. We’ve also got interviews with the art rock monster that is Mariachi Ghost, ex-Snailhouse troubadour Michael Feuerstack, reviews of Gravity and Casting By, as well as a piece about how knitting is bad ass. Stay cool, Winnipeg. online exclusives This week, check out The Next Reel, with a behind the scenes look at Greg Macpherson’s new video for “1995”, which was made by our own Nicholas Friesen and Daniel Crump. on the cover you can grab a free download of Kalle Mattson’s “Darkness” from the Ottawa viral sensation’s Doug McLean (pictured here) is joined on the cover new 7”.

Winnipeg will never be Vancouver, though. And I don’t think we should strive to be. Winnipeg has a certain plucky charm that bigger cities lack. We have a ways to go, for certain, and there are many ways in which we can turn to other cities for exam- ple. But I think we’re well on our way to being our own great thing. Vancouver’s splendour is blatant, while Winnipeg has hidden treasures, pockets of beauty buried among industry. That’s part of Winnipeg’s charm – finding these secret spots and revelling in them. This charm is evident in our people, too. We toe the line between big city and small town. Jeans and Jets jerseys are appropriate attire for nights out at our classiest restau- rants.

  • Shine a Light: Surveying Locality, Independence, and Digitization in Ottawa’S Independent Rock Scene
    Shine a Light: Surveying Locality, Independence, and Digitization in Ottawa’s Independent Rock Scene by Michael Robert Audette-Longo A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Cultural Mediations Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2016 Michael Audette-Longo ii Abstract This dissertation examines the articulation and reconfiguration of locality in Ottawa's independent (indie) rock scene. It argues that styles of producing and relating to indie music that have been traditionally embedded in local scenic activity and practices of “do it yourself” (DIY) have been translated into more ubiquitous, quotidian, and valuable metadata and labour that organizes and powers the operations of disparate digital media sites, including digital music services like Bandcamp, CBC Radio 3, and Wyrd Distro. This argument is developed through closer analyses of the following case studies: the entrepreneurial strategies and musical focuses of Ottawa-based independent record labels Kelp and Bruised Tongue Records; scene-bound media like zines, blogs, music video and campus/community radio; the re-articulation of local regions as metadata that organize the search and retrieval functionalities of the digital music streaming services CBC Radio 3 and Bandcamp (a particular iteration of local regions I dub the “indexi-local”); and the concurrent incorporation of DIY labour and reconfiguration of the business of independent music evident in the digital music retailers Bandcamp and Wyrd Distro. This project contends that in the midst of digitization, the media sites, entrepreneurial strategies, and subcultural practices traditionally folded into the production of independence in local indie music scenes persist.

IRB protocol # ____________________0507.11 iii Terry, Joseph Leigh (Ph.D., Journalism and Mass Communication) Policy for Culture’s Sake? Cultural Theory, Popular Music, and the Canadian State Dissertation directed by Professor Andrew Calabrese At the conclusion of his seminal essay, “Culture is Ordinary,” cultural theorist Raymond Williams intones that “the ordinary people should govern; that culture and education are ordinary; that there are no masses to save, to capture, or to direct.” Williams’s passage captures the heart of his intellectual project and the central conflict in the development of cultural policy: the hierarchical separation of culture seen as a “whole way of life” and as “arts and learning.” Within cultural policy, this split is constructed at times as the democratization of culture (culture as civilizing) or cultural democracy (better access to the means of cultural production and distribution).

  • Album of the Week: Hop Along – <I>Bark Your Head Off, Dog</I
    Album of the Week: Hop Along – Bark Your Head Off, Dog Bark Your Head Off, Dog by Hop Along Philadelphia indie rock act Hop Along has creative versatility beyond their contemporaries. The band amplifies the singer-songwriter aesthetic with powerful sounds glistening with genuineness. It’s a mix of folk, ‘90s alternative, punk and power-pop that soothes the senses. Their fourth album Bark Your Head Off, Dog came out on Apr 6 via Saddle Creek Records and is a testament to their musical evolution. There’s a certain fearlessness in each song. What makes this album different from Hop Along’s previous releases is the involvement of string instruments. The violin throughout the album is a fantastic addition. Frances Quinlan’s vocals combine with guest backing vocalist Chrissy Tashjian (from fellow Philly act Thin Lips) for amazing harmonies. Frances’ brother Mark is the anchor on drums while Joe Reinhart provides perfect chords on lead guitar. Bass guitarist Tyler Long keeps it all together with solid bass lines backing everything up. Usually when a band shifts towards acoustic instruments, a drop-off in emphasis is expected. Hop Along maintains their trademark intensity in their new album, proof of how talented they are.
