Ever signed a cheque with a name that's not yours?
Failsafe.
Folks, I want to let you know that this Podcast contains one of my favourite pieces that we have included on the show so far: "Failsafe: History of a Song". Simply put, we chart the story and evolution of a little-known but superb Carl "AC" Newman song... from its first performance in session here at CBC Radio 3 several years ago, to its inclusion as a cover on the Choir Practice album, to the completely re-worked version on the latest New Pornographers album Challengers.
Through conversation with Newman, and Coco Culbertson
from the Choir Practice, we learn that each subsequent version was a
direct result of that which preceeded it, though no version of
"Failsafe" sounds the same, or even contain the same lyrics, beyond the
incredibly catchy main melody.
Also on the show, Victoria band Immaculate Machine present a very special and exotic fortune cookie surprise
for all of our ears, but specifically mine. As well, we'll preview CBC
Radio 3's next big live event: our showcase from the 15th Annual Halifax Pop Explosion next weekend!
