The Completely Ignored Podcast

Richard Cazeau (RichardCazeau.com, Citytv, MuchMoreMusic) connects with Cam and Sammy for a powerful chat about Jay-Z’s benchmark 2003 full-length The Black Album. The guys talk about farewell shows (and fake farewell shows), the emergence of Kanye West, the ubiquity of Rick Rubin and ambition in music and in industry. 

James Keast (Exclaim!) visits Cam and Sammy to talk about Sufjan Stevens and his memorable 2005 full-length Illinois. Tons of details here about Surfjan (the artist), Surfjan (the dude) and a debate about which Canadian songwriters like to get geographical and twisted in their songcraft. 

Jeff Woods (Radio, Records & Rockstars) puts the classic rock talk on pause and instead, joins Cam and Sammy to talk Trouble, the 2004 debut full-length from Ray LaMontagne.

Holly Knowlman (Stupid Magazine) pays Cam and Sammy a visit and pays some mad respect to the Clash's 1979 double album London Calling. Oh, hell yes! This is a lively chat about about an indisputable classic. 

Raina Douris (Indie88) takes Cam and Sammy back to 1997 for a revisit of Ben Folds Five and their breakthrough full-length Whatever and Ever Amen. Plenty of talk about musical theatre and zero talk about piano rock, Billy Joel or Elton John. 

Marc Weisblott (Twelve Thirty Six) stops by to chat with Cam and Sammy about Talking Heads’ showy 1984 live album Stop Making Sense. We go deep on how bands evolve and then devolve. We also talk about Kingswood Music Theatre and (surprisingly) barely mention David Byrne’s really big suit. 

Sofi Papamarko (Toronto Star) takes Cam and Sammy back to 1968 and the sneakily sad nostalgia of The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society. We talk about the Kinks in the 1960s (yay!), the Kinks in the 1970s (meh!) and Ray Davies getting shot. 

Eric Alper (SiriusXM, ThatEricAlper.com) pops by to chat with Cam and Sammy about Tears for Fears and their massive 1985 full-length Songs from the Big Chair. Plenty of talk about meaning in music, new wave and Eric's amazing Twitter following. 

Moe Berg (The Pursuit of Happiness) talks with Cam and Sammy about the snotty might of Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols. Some great conversation about how early punk played out in Edmonton, Steve Jones and more.
