Internet invented By Mr Squirrel!
For those of you who have been having internet problems as of lately (as I know I have) we have figured out the source of the problem. Apparently Al Conroy’s (ITM staff) cat - Mr Squirrel - was locked for 20 minutes inside a Lazy Susan without notice. Upon realizing Mr Squirrel was trapped inside, Al quickly released him only to find that the Lazy Susan was in fact a time warp. This time warp sent Mr Squirrel back in time in which he claimed upon his return to have invented the internet. Either he isn’t getting his dues or he’s opened a Swiss bank account in which he is hording his earnings towards college or a vacation. For those annoyed by the internet problems, we ensure we will send Mr Squirrel back into the Lazy Susan to solve all problems. This time he will go in uniformed and mentally prepared for his ventures. We hope to have this problem resolved very soon. Thank you for your patience.

Win a CD “Things About Comin’ My Way” - A tribute to the music of THE MISSISSIPPI SHEIKS!!
WIN “Things About Comin’ My Way”
A tribute to the music of
THE MISSISSIPPI SHEIKS
‘I knowed the Mississippi Sheiks. Yessir. Walked ten miles to see them play. They was high-time…makin’ them good records, man.’ - Muddy Waters
This is not music for the faint of heart.
The songs on this CD come down to us from a world long gone, a world gone wrong where broken hearted murderers rubbed shoulders with wife stealing preachers. Listen carefully and you can almost hear the wind moaning through empty graveyards and churches as one man calculates the odds of playing bed spring poker while another moans that his pencil don’t write no more.
Whether bent in prayer or bloody eyed in the throes of howling lust, the Mississippi Sheiks songs took a suffering generation on a ride through a universe populated with characters that walked the razor’s edge between sin and redemption, grace and depravity.
Between 1930 and 1935, The Mississippi Sheiks were the top selling group of its time, largely due to their hit Sitting On Top if the World, also recorded by Cream, Bill Monroe, Howlin’ Wolf and many more.Recorded and produced by Juno Award winning producer Steve Dawson, in Seattle, Vancouver, Ottawa and New York, this project fulfills a dream of Dawson’s to pay tribute to the work of this unique and historic group.
Features exclusive recordings by Bruce Cockburn, Madeleine Peyroux, John Hammond, Kelly Joe Phelps, The North Mississippi Allstars, Oh Susanna with Van Dyke Parks, Bill Frisell, Robin Holcomb, Jim Byrnes, Del Rey, The Carolina Chocolate Drops, and more. Each track is specifically for this project and does not appear on any other release.
Rather than recreate the music, Dawson looked for artists who could re-interpret the music in interesting and refreshing ways. Ranging from traditional to the avant-garde, this tribute stands above others in quality and scope, and features artists well-known in blues, jazz, pop and rock genres.

TONY DEKKER TALKS ABOUT HIS FAVORITE WRITERS, HIS LACK OF FEARS AND HOW HE WRITES WITH INTENTION
Releasing the acclaimed national treasure “LOST CHANNELS” in 2009, Toronto band Great Lake Swimmers have sky rocketed in success not just Canadian wide, but across North America & Europe. Tony Dekker’s compelling voice and well-though lyrics have put the likes of Lance Armstrong, Feist, Robert Plant and NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams (to name a few) on their side.
I was able to catch up with
TONY DEKKER from the GREAT LAKE SWIMMERS in time for their 2 performances at the West End Cultural Center in Winnipeg for Jazz Fest June 29th & 30th.
ITM: Your songs are written with such a vulnerable realness & spiritual sensitivity - How do you feel that your upbringing played a role in your ability to write accessible songs that listeners can relate to?
TD: Growing up in a very rural environment put me in touch with the natural world in a really special way. I think growing up in a small isolated farming community put more emphasis on the rhythms of the natural world. You have to be really in tune with that in order to farm and in order to be a part of a community like that. I think some of that transferred to me. I wasn’t really cut out for running a farm or anything like that - but when it comes down to writing I think maybe that what’s brings up the sort of sensitivity in that way.
ITM: As a songwriter, I know it’s easy to fall into the pattern of the “obvious rhyme.” You seem to avoid this pattern. Is this a conscious thing?
TD: Well yeah, I think I’m most definitely conscious of that and I think I look at the songs as having a poetic aspect - I think you can go the opposite way too and kind of be weighed down by the language. It can get to the point where it’s too literary, or you can stumble over the words if you put too much emphasis on that. For me, I try to find a balance between using more everyday, simple terms, but also trying to get across a more complex point. I think sometimes I talk about it as trying to appeal to the head AND the heart.
ITM: Did you ever imagine that music would take you as far as it has? How has that changed your life?
TD: The essence of it has remained the same. Trying to write good songs. I think that it’s changed my life in that I wouldn’t have been able to travel the world the way I have. I never would have had those kinds of opportunities without doing music. I like to think the basics are the same and that is - that I would be writing songs regardless of whether they allowed me to do these other things or not. But - that being said, I didn’t ever think that my first record - for example - would reach anyone other than my small group of friends and my family.
ITM: How do you manage to stay grounded?
TD: Well, I think it’s important to stay humble. I try to keep in touch with family. I think you need to view it in the way that it’s a real gift to be able to do this.
ITM: What’s your greatest fear?
TD: (laughs) I want to say something like snakes or something. (laughs) I’m not sure! I want to say something like spiders…..or heights…or airplanes or something. (laughs) I don’t know! I’m not scared of much!
ITM: Who are your favorite songwriters?
TD: Well the ultimate for me would be Leonard Cohen - I see him as the great priest of songwriting. I could go on for a long time about favorite songwriters. Townes Van Zandt would be another - I find him hugely inspiring, Hank Williams - I especially like his songwriting. Woody Guthrie - you can trace him WAY back, but definitely at the top of my list though is Leonard Cohen.
ITM: What is your most prized possession?
TD: Collectively, I’d say my vinyl records. That’s the one thing that’s probably not replaceable that I have. It’s the material thing I enjoy the most. Not that I’m super attached to it, but I’d definitely be heartbroken if something happened to it.
ITM: Name your top 5 records.
TD: That’s a tough one! (laughs) I can do my top 5 records of the moment - but of ALL time - Too hard!
Townes Van Zandt - Delta Momma Blues
Travelling Wilburys - 3 disk box set collection
Mississippi John Hurt - The Best of Mississippi John Hurt
Roky Erickson - The Evil One
(laughs) I’m looking at a PILE of records right now.
Michael Hurly - High Fi Snock

DEL BARBER talks about his music, growing up in a small town and being anti-Beatles
I was able to catch up with Del Barber in time for the release of his latest and highly anticipated album
“Love Songs For The Last 20”
ITM: How do you feel that your upbringing influenced the style and feel of your music?
DB: Intensely so. I think that because I grew up in St. Norbert, it was like growing up in a small town. We treated it like a small town - It had its own bank, it’s own bakery, dentist - but the city was always encroaching and we kind of felt threatened. Not so much us, b/c we were english - but a long time ago it was a french town, and they felt really threatened. So, the separation between city and rural life was tough to figure out. I find I’m always writing about THAT. In the back of my mind, I always wonder why it seems that rural people and city people don’t see eye to eye, or they have a different world view or something. That fence - I feel like I’ve been walking on it since I was a kid. Always working in the country and always going out in the city, so being two faced almost. It also forced me to be intentional about who I was; Where I chose to spend time and with who. I had country friends and city friends.
I had a great record collection too. I was into music all the time. So that was also a major part of it.ITM: What type of music did your parents listen to?
DB: They have a great collection of old alternative country stuff - B margin country guys. I’ve been really into that, and I have that collection now, so it’s pretty cool. They listened to The Stones and the big stuff for a while. Never the Beatles though. We never had a single Beatles record. I grew up hating the Beatles. Like, it wasn’t cool to like the Beatles in my house, (laughs) so I never got behind them. It’s interesting, b/c a lot of your friends go through a Beatles phase, but I never had that.
ITM: So – you’re anti – Beatles? Do you want me to quote you on that?
DB: Sure, you can do that. (laughs) I’m kind of anti-Beatles. I’m sure I could spend some time with them, and find some genius, but there’s just so much else.
ITM: What started your initial interest in music?
DB: I think my dad playing guitar. Whenever we would have family gatherings on my dad’s side, they would all sing. There was either physical violence between brothers and sisters, or they were singing. So to me, it was always associated with - ok, we’re getting along again, we’re all singing. It was really strange. Music always meant that things were going well. A kind of great association of happiness.
ITM: Being a modest guy, how does it feel to be getting the recognition and respect you’ve been recently getting?
DB: I dunno, I feel like it’s all Bull-Shit luck. So, I don’t think about it. Or when I do think about it, I get really anxious, b/c theres ATLEAST 10 other singer/songwriters/groups in town that I’m like - I didn’t even apply for Folk fest, I didn’t think I had a chance! It’s funny b/c you spend so much time laboring on this song, your craft, trying to tell your stories, or develop this aesthetic that sounds like where you’re from. You create all these great illusions of grandeur of what music can be. But in the end, I’m doubting. Somehow I always think the worst of all the good things. That sucks, it’s not helpful. So, I guess my answer would be, it’s not modesty. - its self-doubt. But I never doubt when I actually do it. I feel really confident on stage. I’m not shy or reserved on stage. I believe in the songs and feel completely sure of myself, but it’s when you have to process it and compare yourself or you get a lot of press and don’t sell tickets. I dunno. It becomes this big cesspool. My answer is complicated. Sorry. (laughs)
ITM: What is your most treasured posession?
DB: The obvious answer is my guitar – my Gibson J-45, and my dad just gave me a Guild, but sometimes those feel like tools and are associated with a lot of work - work that I LOVE - but sometimes the romance dies with instruments. So – if I didn’t say my guitars, I’d say my canoe. Which was my Grandpa’s and now it’s mine.
ITM: Top 5 Records of all time?
DB: Born In The USA – Bruce Springsteen – I dunno, I just can’t stop!
Sweet Heart of the Rodeo – Byrds
Infamous Angel – Iris Dement
The Evening Call – Greg Brown
Blood On The Tracks – Bob Dylan
I should have added Neil Young in there, but I didn’t. Oh well. (laughs)ITM: Do you try to live by a certain motto, as an artist? How do you keep yourself grounded?
DB: I think the reoccuring theme is - “Don’t Take yourself too seriously” and “Work Hard”.
ITM: Who are your favorite writers?
DB: Townes Van Zandt , Blaze Foley, John Prine, Greg Brown, Springsteen, and Iris Dement. I could go on, but I won’t. There is a lot more female influence in me, but they just…(laughs) aren’t in my top five! (laughs)

KATHRYN CALDER from THE NEW PORNOGRAPHERS talks about solo albums, life and kleenex boxes
**I caught up with Kathryn Calder from The New Pornographers to talk with her about her upcoming solo album releasing this summer, The New Pornographers newest album Together, life, and unusual percussion, in time for their show next Thursday, June 10th at The Garrick. Make sure to check them out!**
Kathryn Calder on solo albums, The New Pornographers, life and Kleenex boxes….
ITM: I hear you’re putting out your first solo album, Are You My Mother, this summer. How does this feel?
KC: It feels nice! It feels so great to feel creatively in control of something, you know? It’s sort of one of those projects that you start, and then it’s really nice to have it finished. I like it and it’s been 2 years since I finished it, so that’s always a good sign.ITM: Has it been a long time coming?
KC: Yeah, well, I recorded it basically in 2008 and so it’s been done since December 2008. 2009 was a really terrible year for me so I put pretty much everything on hold. My mom was really sick and she passed away and it was really awful. So I finally - once I had gotten through all of that, come 2010 - I started looking around for a label and I figured it was probably time to get this record out there, that I was working on, and that’s pretty much the story behind that.ITM: Can you tell me how your solo music is different than the music you play with The New Pornographers or Immaculate Machine?
KC: Well, it’s just more me! (laughs) I’m not sure how it’s different. Both of those bands are pretty upbeat rock bands and my tendencies are a little bit less upbeat rock. I tend to write slower songs although I do have songs on my upcoming record that aren’t slow. But that’s what I tend to lean towards. (laughs) Yeah, I dunno! I’m not sure!
ITM: Your experience recording Are You My Mother; it sounds as though you were able to create different soundscapes using Kleenex boxes and old trumpets. Did this help with the expression or vulnerability of the record?
KC: Yeah, I hope so! How the record was really made came from a lot of just winging it, you know? There would be a lot of times it would be about one in the morning and I’d be downstairs and we’d try to think of something we could do that wasn’t that….(laughs) loud? You know, practical concerns that come up when you play in a house that’s full of people who are living there. (laughs) So, one o’clock in the morning and you’re like, “Ok, what are we going to do NOW? There’s nothing that’s open”. Of course there are no stores, so we really just needed to look around the house to see what we could use to come up with sounds, so it was DONE. You know, you get on a roll sometimes and you’re not ready to call it quits just because it’s late. So that’s how a lot of it came about; was just these practical logistical issues of us just needing something. I really enjoy doing that kind of thing; using a Kleenex box or turning a filing cabinet into a bass drum. (laughs) I just really like doing that kind of thing ‘cause I think it’s funny. Sounds are just sounds. (laughs) I really just like finding things that are percussive; that maybe aren’t the standard.
ITM: On another note, how has the response been to The New Pornographers newest album, Together?
KC: Oh! I think it’s been really good! From what I’ve heard, seeing the occasional thread, where it seems that people really like it. So, that’s great! It’s always nice; you put so much effort into these records that you make and even though Carl was really the one behind the record, we all contributed and put our hearts into it. It’s nice to get positive feedback. It could have just as easily not been, for whatever reason.ITM: It seems as though you’re touring a lot. Looking at your tour dates I can see that you’re touring fairly non-stop from June ‘til September. How do you find being on the road for that long?
KC: You know, we’ve had some time off over the past year, working on the record, and had a lot of down time. So I think everyone is happy enough to be going on tour again. It’s a different story if it’s 3-4 years down the road and you’re still touring constantly; you haven’t been home for a while and your whole perspective on life is completely uprooted. At this point, we really started getting ready for tour and leaving home around the 29th of April, so it’s been about a month. I think we’re ok for another few months……until we all start having nervous breakdowns. (laughs) I’m just kidding!ITM: I also hear that you are already working on a follow-up to Are You My Mother. Is there a theme surrounding this follow-up record?
KC: Hmm…..I’m not sure. I have a hard time narrowing things down into one theme. Usually when I write songs, even the songs themselves aren’t necessarily always about one thing. When I write songs they seem to be about multiple themes, kind of surrounding each other. That seems to be the theme with this record. It probably reflects, I would think, whether I want it to or not, whatever has happened to me in the past year and a half. I’m sure there is a lot of that on the record that comes out without even trying. (laughs) So, as for a theme; lots of…..life. Ha-ha!ITM: Do you feel that you understand who you are as a musician or do you feel that it’s always changing?
KC: I think I’m getting a better grasp on it, definitely. Every time you make a record or you are on someone else’s record or you do anything that’s creative, you tend to learn a little bit more about what you like. It often comes down to what your taste is because everyone has a different style that is inherently theirs and different tastes that they will gravitate towards and it’s almost impossible to differ from that because it goes against what you like. So every record I do, yeah, I think I find out more about what I like, what I don’t like, what I’m going for. Of course your tastes change as you’re exposed to new things. As they do, then things change.ITM: What is your favorite New Pornographers album and why?
KC: Hmm…..am I ALLOWED to say that?! (laughs) I love them ALL for various reasons. I’m not sure….each one of them has a real soft spot for me. Mass Romantic, it being the first New Pornographers record, I remember hearing it about 9 years ago. I heard it for the first time and I remember being like, “WOW! This is an amazing record!” I had NO idea it was going to be so good! Same with Electric Version. Twin Cinema was the first record that I was on so that has a special spot in my heart because of the experience. And then Challengers, I felt a part of it a little bit more. Twin Cinema, I was more of a background singer and Challengers I had a song I was singing vocal lead on. The New record, I was around for quite a bit of it and I got to do things other than playing just keyboards and piano. I got to play other things. Like playing wine glasses on a song. (laughs) I definitely felt like I had a lot more creative confidence to say, “Hey, I think it’d be super cool if we did THIS”, instead of being like, “Hey, I’m the new girl. I’ll just hang out and do what I’m told!” So, in a long, drawn out story, I don’t really know what my favorite record is! I have a soft spot for Challengers because I think it’s a really excellent record. It’s full of some of the slower songs that I really love and Carl (Newman) writes really great melodies that tend to shine on some of the slower songs.ITM: You started your career really early in life, earlier than most get the opportunity. What advice would you give someone who decides to step into music so young?
KC: I guess I would say; if you’re young and starting out, just worry about what YOU want to do. Make the music that you want to make. Find people that you like to play with and don’t worry about the rest of it. All of that will come later. If you know already what you want and what you like, even thought that will change, than maybe you won’t be so under the influence of people that are older, who are trying to tug you in different directions. I remember feeling that, at a young age, that I didn’t know what I wanted and people would come in and say, “you should do or try this”, and they were things that I kind of felt not super comfortable with because they weren’t the things I wanted; not the kind of music I wanted to play. If you already know what you like or what you want, it’s easier to stick to your guns. And that’s important.
On Music, books and possessions
ITM: Do you have any books you’re reading right now?
KC: I just finished reading a book called The Enchantress Of Florence (Salman Rushdie). It’s kind of a fairy tale fable style. He seems to write in that way. It’s really hard to find books you really like. I’m always like, “Where am I going to find another one!”ITM: Who are your favorite songwriters?
KC: Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell, James Mercer from the Shins, St Vincent, Serge Gainsbourg, even though…..even though WHAT?! Even though nothing. He’s great.ITM: What are three artists or albums you’re loving right now?
KC: St. Vincent – Actor; Animal Collective; Jorge Ben – Brazilian singer. Great voice. I keep coming back to Brazilian music. It’s so interesting.
ITM: What’s your most prized possession?
KC: Aside from my…..boyfriend? I know, he’s not really a possession! Um…my brain? Wear a helmet. Don’t drink and drive. I dunno! I don’t know if I have a prized ‘thing’. When I was in Mexico I bought this really beautiful blanket with multi-colored, embroidered animals on it. I bought it and I love it. But the problem is that I love it SO much that I don’t know what to do with it. Currently, it’s folded up in a Tupperware container in my closet. It’s sad. It’s safe there. It’s a funny thing of human nature; you love something so much that you don’t want to wreck it. So, you just hide it! Why wouldn’t I just USE it! Use it and love it!ITM: When’s the last time you felt the happiest?
KC: I usually feel pretty happy when I’m on stage. The most recent one was at Sasquatch Music Festival. And I’m always happy when I’m eating ice cream. Although temporarily. Unless you eat too much then you just feel awful. (laughs)ITM: Who is your hero?
KC: Musically, David Bowie. I think he re-invented himself a lot and is kind of a genius.
Personally, my Mother. She was a really tough lady; super kind and really wonderful. When she was going through her illness, which is really one of the worst illnesses you can inflict on anybody - Have you heard of Lou Gehrig’s disease? She died of that - it was really heartbreaking because she was such a great person. No one deserves to die in that sort of a way but she handled it with a grace. That’d be a hero to me.ITM: If you could have any job other than performing, what would it be?
KC: THAT…..I would LOVE to know! (laughs) If I knew the answer to that question! You never know with this business, how things are going to go! In a lot of ways, other people have a leg up on me because they know what they want to do with their lives. THIS is what I want to do with my life. But, I don’t have control over whether I get to do this for a living or not. It’s out of my hands. All I can do is make records and hope for the best. If it doesn’t work, I have NO idea!ITM: What are the top 5 albums you’d choose if you could only listen to those 5 for the rest of your life?
KC: OH, MAN! Time to get out the iTunes folder! (laughs) I would pick: The Shins – Chutes Too Narrow; Abba - Greatest Hits (laughs). This is one of those things you have to be really…..this is my WHOLE LIFE we’re talking! (laughs) Arcade Fire – Funeral; The Beach Boys – Pet Sounds; David Bowie – Hunky Dory.

NOT HALF Talks about Toronto’s D TRASH FEST 2010
We talk with Al from Winnipeg’s NOT HALF about his experience at Toronto’s D TRASH FEST 2010.
Q. You recently performed in Toronto for the first time at D-Trash Fest - For our readers who aren’t familiar, what is D-Trash Fest?
A. DTrash Fest is a yearly event arranged by Jay of DTrash Records in Toronto. It’s an evening of Digital Hardcore, Breakcore, and other related kinds of music (quite alot of which end in “-core”).Q. How do they program the acts that play at the festival? Are they all on their record label?
A. I’m not fully sure on that one. Most of the acts are on DTrash but I don’t think all of them are. Jay asks some people about playing on it and they say yes, and some others ask him about playing in T.O. and he tries to squeeze their show to happen on the DFest night. All I can certifiably say is that I asked about it last year but it was too late and then when he was putting it together, he asked if I wanted to play. I said yes, btw.Q. What’s the relationship between the music that plays at D-Trash Fest and that featured at something like send + receive?
A. There is far more jumping up and down and unserious requests for “Freebird” all night long. The music is much louder and more dancefloor oriented, although that makes it sound like this is Top 40 dance music which it isn’t. Loads of loud kick drums and rapid-fire snares! s + r is much, much quieter and more “respectable”, if you will. People tend to sit politely and examine the sounds around them.Q. What was the venue like?
A. Small, long rectangular box with a very low ceiling that quickly turned into a sauna when more than 8 people showed up.Q. What were some of the standout performances you saw?
A. Realicide were jumping around like crazy and going at it with gusto! They were using a tape deck! NWODTLEM had the craziest video-audio sync-up stuff I’ve ever seen, quite fun. And Phallus Uber Alles rocked the joint with their dual vocal sing along hardcore breaks. Everyone else was great too, btw.Q. How did the audience respond to your own set?
A. A big, loud cheer, pats on the back, “That was awesome!”, “Can you come again next year?”, “Can I book you for my next breakcore show?”
Q. How did Mr. Squirrel survive with you gone for four whole days?
A. He closely examined his eyelids for holes, ignored Barb, and clung to me like a limpet soon after I got home.

Kerri Woelke - Special Events Coordinator - the first impression…
Well, I wanted to say a quick hi, and let you know who I am. My name is Kerri Woelke, and I have the privilege of taking over for Kier-La in the role of “Special Events Coordinator” at Into the Music. I can already tell that these are very large shoes to fill. I hope that I get the chance to get to know some of you, and that sooner than later, I will transition very smoothly into the understanding of the tasks at hand.
Now for a little less formal info - I’ll tell you a little bit about me…
I have been a recording artist for approx. 5 years now or so, and have had the opportunity to perform from coast to coast across Canada, and down through some of the southern states. I was a solo artist for the first 4 years or so, and have recently formed a duo called “Last Ditch on the Left”, with guitarist/singer extraordinaire, Brent Warren.
I have a lovely 7 year old son named Kai, and he’s the kind of kid that appears to have the mind of a 40 year old most often. He wears dress shirts and ties to school everyday, and talks of performing in the same type of way as Tom Waits. I can’t imagine the wear and tear that would have to take place on his voice to get to that point!I’ve also run a photographic business for 7 years locally. I do everything from character portraits, to artist promo photos for albums and cd’s, as well as weddings and commercial photography.
Feel free to contact me at: .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) for more info on performing in the store, or just to say hi.
I promise to be witty and creative in the upcoming newsletters, there must be a “Wit in Newsletters - For Dummies” book out there somewhere. I’ll get on it. Fast.Talk you you soon!

Pictures for both shows are below - thanks to Damien Ferland for some of the pics and a big thanks to Naomi and Brandon for a great time!!
