In another episode of Music That Broke Me, we move on from Pump Up The Volume and into the harder edge of The Pixies. Trompe Le Monde opened up a whole world of music for me and Less Than Zero and Bright Lights Big City opened up the possibility that I could harness my own voice into my first serious novel. The books and the music brought out PJ Harvey, Beastie Boys, Radiohead, and introduced me to punk rock. Different music was everywhere, including the magazine CMJ Monthly and I took it all in. Come take a listen to some music broke boundaries.In this episode:Subbacultcha – The PixiesSpace (I Believe In) – The PixiesHook – PJ HarveyInnercity Boundaries – Freestyle FellowshipSo Wat’cha Want – Beastie BoysI Don’t Want You Around – NOFXIntentions – FifteenFor Beth – Coffin Break#podcast #music #books #breteastonellis #jaymcinerney #thepixies #pjharvey #beastieboys #nofx #fifteen #freestylefellowship #coffinbreakWebsite: www.seanmcginity.ca@seangeekpodcast on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook@toddgeek on Twitter@fastfretfingers on Instagram@ToddGeeks Tech Talk on Facebook @mbpodfest@captivatefmMentioned in this episode:Want Merch?You can get your own SeanGeek and FastFret Merch over at our storefront on Teepublic, over at https://www.teepublic.com/stores/seangeek-podcast

Todd is away for the next couple of episodes. He will be back in time for episode 400! This week, Sean delves into the movie that broke him, Pump Up the Volume. Inspired by Eric Senich’s episode (see show notes below for more info), Sean breaks down the movie that changed the music he listened to. Pump Up The Volume was deeply influential musically, thematically, and philosophically and was one of the lynchpins to Leonard Cohen’s emergence as an artist for a younger generation. But it doesn’t stop there, it also brought forward The Pixies and Soundgarden! From the movie that essentially invented the Podcast, let’s hear the movie and listen to some of its songs. The film is NOT available for proper purchase BUT you can watch it here: https://archive.org/details/pump_up_the_volume_1990Featured Songs this episode:Everybody Knows – Concrete BlondeIf It Be Your Will – Leonard CohenWave of Mutilation (UK Surf) – The PixiesHeretic – SoundgardenWhy Can’t I Fall In Love – Ivan Neville #pumpupthevolume #christianslater #alanmoyle #leonardcohen #thepixies #concreteblonde #soundgarden #movies #music #podcast Website: www.seanmcginity.ca@seangeekpodcast on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook@toddgeek on Twitter@fastfretfingers on Instagram@ToddGeeks Tech Talk on Facebook @mbpodfest@captivatefmMentioned in this episode:Want Merch?You can get your own SeanGeek and FastFret Merch over at our storefront on Teepublic, over at https://www.teepublic.com/stores/seangeek-podcast

We love Rush on this show, but we wanted to prove that Canada produces some of the best and freshest rock that isn’t Rush. With special guest Corey and Mark from And The Podcast Will Rock, Sean, Todd and Corey have tabulated a list of great Canadian songs from some great Canadian bands to expose the sole American on the panel Mark to. Quickly and handily this goes off the rails (to the curmudgeons in the audience, bite this), with discussions on Canada, Bob and Doug, bouffants and housecoats, A-Ha, the Charismatic Voice, and the Canadian David Lee Roth.In Part One, we cover this list of greats:Triumph – Lay It On the Linehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCWj8Nz5DUgDevin Townsend – Addictedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCakibHJo94Max Webster – BattlescarKim Mitchell – Go For A Soda, Easy To Tame, Rock and Roll Duty https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXnTbmPxv5ghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDzyYGQiT2shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9W94_VvfTA#canada #canadian #music #american #rush #kimmitchell #bouffant #housecoat #aha #davidleeroth #triumphWebsite: www.seanmcginity.ca@seangeekpodcast on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook@toddgeek on Twitter@fastfretfingers on Instagram@ToddGeeks Tech Talk on Facebook @mbpodfest@captivatefmMentioned in this episode:Want Merch?You can get your own SeanGeek and FastFret Merch over at our storefront on Teepublic, over at https://www.teepublic.com/stores/seangeek-podcast

We have all had time to digest what happened at the Marvel Studios panel at San Diego Comic Con 2022.

We talk Namor, Dr Doom, Kang, Rick Jones (yes we do), who is invading in Secret Invasion (psst, it isn’t Skrulls), do we need Tony Stark back, how the Negative Zone could be the place that joins Phase 5, how vampires will work their way in, Union Jack and Captain Britain.

We discuss what he said and offer our own opinions on the statement. What controversial thing did their guitarist/vocalist Brian Greenway say.

We discuss tobacco ads on TV and in print, and how it is viewed in mainstream medias. And how has it affected Wolverine as a character?

We talked about this quite some time ago and we are back with another metal episode. Still solo, folks, but that will be rectified very soon. SeanGeek takes a walk down memory lane to his first true introduction to metal. Metal For Breakfast, released in 1984 on Attic Records was my gateway. Let’s take a listen, track by track to this classic defining album that opened the metal doors to me. Here is a nice breakdown of the album here including credits and all that stuff: https://www.discogs.com/release/2914107-Various-Metal-For-BreakfastAnd here is the actual commercial for the album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfKxkIaA22I #podcast #metal #atticrecords #killerdwarfs #blotto #leeaaron #mercyfulfate #y&t #judaspriest #accept #musicWebsite: www.seanmcginity.ca@seangeekpodcast on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook@toddgeek on Twitter@fastfretfingers on Instagram@ToddGeeks Tech Talk on Facebook @mbpodfest@captivatefmMentioned in this episode:Want Merch?You can get your own SeanGeek and FastFret Merch over at our storefront on Teepublic, over at https://www.teepublic.com/stores/seangeek-podcast

Solo episode, and with good reason! Todd’s Birthday gift is the arrival of his daughter and their family (including his granddaughter). I discuss “Covid fog” and lost focus during the pandemic.

Whatchanges have happened in the studio, and what is happening with releases of some material from SeanGeek and FastFret?What constitutes spam? We read through one true spam email that came straight to my junk folder. And what about other types of spam? We talk ads and recommendations on Instagram and Facebook feeds. Are these spam? Which ones are in your feeds? We give one great example of true spam, why it is spam, and what trash really looks like. And why is the code of conduct on Facebook that much different than Twitter. I won’t spoil who I am talking about, you will have to tune in to find out!Keep listening to the end of the episode for a new musical clip from Geek Boy and Fast Freddie.Special shoutout to Karen and her now hubby for getting hitched!And special shoutout to Romulo and his amazing art! https://www.instagram.com/romulobarva_art/And Darrell Dwarf’s excellent read: http://www.darrellmillar.com/pirateshopwork.htm#reading #killerdwarfs #leighbardugo #covid #codeofconduct #music Website: www.seanmcginity.ca@seangeekpodcast on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook@toddgeek on Twitter@fastfretfingers on Instagram@ToddGeeks Tech Talk on Facebook @mbpodfest@captivatefmMentioned in this episode:Want Merch?You can get your own SeanGeek and FastFret Merch over at our storefront on Teepublic, over at https://www.teepublic.com/stores/seangeek-podcast

This past week has seen some major losses in our geek community. Shout out to Shane-o-Mac and Corey Toews on their losses. We also lost George Perez, titanic artist for both Marvel and DC Comics. George was part of some of the biggest storylines and best selling books for BOTH companies and we have seen the film world borrow heavily from George’s work. George is beyond iconic and is in a category all his own. We take a walk through some of his biggest works, from Crisis on Infinite Earths, the Infinity Gauntlet, legendary takes on the Teen Titans, Wonder Woman and of course the Avengers and JLA.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_P%C3%A9rezWebsite: www.seanmcginity.ca@seangeekpodcast on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook@toddgeek on Twitter@fastfretfingers on Instagram@ToddGeeks Tech Talk on Facebook @mbpodfest@captivatefmMentioned in this episode:Want Merch?You can get your own SeanGeek and FastFret Merch over at our storefront on Teepublic, over at https://www.teepublic.com/stores/seangeek-podcast

Fying solo this week with SeanGeek. What is Blogger and why we have one? We talk all about websites, landing sites, and that perfect Podcast Hosting company we all miss called Podiant. There would be no SeanGeek and FastFret Podcast without Meet The Geeks and why we all still owe a complete debt to Corey Toews and his creation and how it lives on in all of us.Snake oil salespeople have never gone away. They used to be barking out from the side of a travelling wagon, skipping from town to town, shilling and making people believe mis-truths. They are hidden in terrestrial radio, record labels, get rich podcasting schemes, fad diets, and even the great Adam Levine works for them. What would Happy Harry Hardon have to say. Maybe it’s time he is broken out from his incarceration to shout from the mountains and expose them all. Or at least maybe SeanGeek here can throw a little shade on them.What am I reading and what is on the docket? I just finished 5 books from Leigh Bardugo in her Grishaverse series. What did I think about it and what do I think about Leigh’s worldbuilding? I have also picked up Heart’s On Fire by Michael Barclay and I cannot wait to dive in.Leigh Bardugo: https://www.leighbardugo.com/Michael Barclay’s Hearts On Fire: https://ecwpress.com/products/hearts-on-fireWebsite: www.seanmcginity.ca@seangeekpodcast on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook@toddgeek on Twitter@fastfretfingers on Instagram@ToddGeeks Tech Talk on Facebook @mbpodfest@captivatefmMentioned in this episode:Want Merch?You can get your own SeanGeek and FastFret Merch over at our storefront on Teepublic, over at https://www.teepublic.com/stores/seangeek-podcast

Karen is back. We talk Abby’s learning about Kitty Pryde, right into talk about Fox’s X-Men, the Spider-Woman cartoon and right into Moon Knight! Knowing very little about the character, we extrapolate just what is Moon Knight, why he wears white, and what ties (we know of) to the supernatural and magic within the MCU. What can we expect to leap off from this film? We dip deep into the horror comics marvel produced like Dracula, Werewolf by Night, and Man-Thing. Can we expect some of these characters to show up in the MCU? And what about the Nexus of All Realities? We also talk some She-Hulk and Ms Marvel. And cover the Netlfix Marvel shows.(54:08) We run through a list of the forgotten Marvel TV shows. Which ones have you seen?(1:09:32) Recommendations: The Goodwill’s Mountain of Trivia Night might be the best trivia night in the world.

(18:20)We take snow shoveling techniques, warmdowns and segue into (21:12) the Inside of You With Michael Rosenbaum podcast.(22:37) What is a real Podcaster? And which ones are just jumping onto bandwagons? We talk Joe Rogan, Anthony Robbins, and the podcaster’s that sell circular references. (33:31) Some managers lack that one skill that matters the most: communication. We talk about some “tips and tricks” some managers use that actually hurt their standing with their employees. How much do we hate acronyms? You will find out.(43:43) And out of the annals of Bobby theBrain Heenan we talk about what is a “ham n egger”?We do a lot of callouts each episode and this one is no exception: Sam Thompson, James Beaver, and Stefan Richards.

(3:52) What are we recommending this week: Cocoa Beans and the James Avenue Pump House. Winnipeg is known for its diverse cuisine and Cocoa Beans and the James Avenue Pumphouse in Winnipeg are two great examples how great and inclusive dinning can be. Winnipeg is home to some of the best festivals in the world. The city’s version of Fringe and our own Keycon are some of our favourites and well worth checking out.(21:20) With a trailer for Obi Wan Kenobi dropping, we dive deep into some Star Wars chat, including an overview of The Book of Boba Fett, Clone Wars, the overlap between the two, and how the sequels suffered many things. What would we have done different, how Star Wars can thrive moving forward and some general advice from our geeky brains.

(2:32) SeanGeek’s kids have started making their own comic books! What are there comics about?

We dip back into the comic book company he was part of as a kid with some friends. (10:20) How are the kids doing with their piano lessons and how has that impacted our own learnings as musicians ourselves. We slip into our beginnings into music, learning theory and tablature. (12:54) We talk about learning music through flexible records that were inserted into music magazines like Guitar Player (and also included in Mad Magazine issues). We talk drum and guitar theory and reading music, time signatures, Dragon Studios, the “sloppy” playing style of Jimmy Page and Eddie Van Halen and how important the drummer is to that kind of player.(25:20) We pull from the list to talk wineskins, their origins and if they are still being used, the god Bacchus, the band Bacchus, haggis and some bad accents, pubadelic bands.(31:25) What is a poutine and is it related to a Maritime poutine (rapees)?

We left you on a cliffhanger last week, but we are back! And we have Corey Toews from Geekspin for Part Two of our conversation with Darrell Dwarf Millar of the Killer Dwarfs and Automan.The Killer Dwarfs were one of the first bands at the advent of music video with their Heavy Mental Breakdown. They did not stop there. With their tongue planted firmly in cheek, the boys were able to take a step forward in using the medium for a “trilogy” of videos, with a unique storyline running through them that saw the Canadian Hard Rock band expand their audience, garnering play in the US and over the world. We discuss the videos and their creation and their record label’s reaction to them (0:20). Dirty Weapons was another step ahead for the band and that included producer Andy Johns. Darrell shares a never before told story about Johns’ experimentation in the studio with drum sounds (4:28). We talked about Winnipeg, independent bands and labels and dove into a discussion about Winnipeg’s own Chris Jericho. (13:20) The boys explain the importance of a band like the Killer Dwarfs to Canada, independent music artists and the message the band gives to the rest of us (18:47). The Killer Dwarfs have periods of taking breaks but in the last decade they have been touring for their longest stretch in a while (19:34). The road life can be yard on the body which leads the conversation over to fitness and yoga (21:08), (and SeanGeek pushes DDP Yoga again). The Dwarfs are a brotherhood (25:40) with a do it yourself attitude (29:20), which works well into the current landscape of the music business with less of a reliance on record labels (30:08). Today, Tik Tok is a thing (31:10). Pam and Tommy is trending (32:38), so maybe we now is the time for that Killer Dwarfs documentary of their own (34:18). They have footage dating all the way back to their beginnings, including some of Darrell’s days in Sphinx (36:58).They boys cover Darrell’s time in Winnipeg when he was giving drum lessons (39:10). We talk of the Winnipeg Music Scene (41:14), the great Moon Tan (43:02), Greta Van Fleet (45:16), Pirate Metal and Alestorm and the bands making their own genre rock music (47:04). And what about that Wolfgang Van Halen (48:16). Darrell tries to get us onto Genesis (51:33), we talk another great drummer in Stewart Copeland (56:00), and Winnipeg legends Propagandhi (57:00).Darrell leaves with some trivia about the spyder (1:03:21).We want to thank Darrell for sharing his time with us, an independent podcast. It is the acts like this that renew our faith in rock and roll and the true rock stars of this world.Darrell’s Website is here: http://www.darrellmillar.com/ And you can find the Killer Dwarfs here: http://killerdwarfsband.com/ #killerdwarfs #music #canadian #hardrock #indie #dirtyweapons #andyjohns #ddpyoga #yoga #documentary #tiktok #moontan #alestorm #pirates #piratemetal #genesis #wolfgangvanhalen #stewartcopeland #propagandhiWebsite: www.seanmcginity.ca@seangeekpodcast on Twitter, Instagram and FacebookGeekspin Podcast: https://geekspinpodcast.castos.com/ @toddgeek on Twitter@fastfretfingers on Instagram@ToddGeeks Tech Talk on Facebook @mbpodfest@captivatefm

The Killer Dwarfs were one of the founders of hard rock in Canada, at the forefront of video with MuchMusic and MTV. As innovative as they were with their videos, their connection to the fans is second to none. In this special episode, we bring in Corey Toews from the Geekspin Podcast.After some introductions we dig into the Monster Of Rock Cruise and the hoops everyone had to jump through (5:06). Darrell recollects on when they played with Skid Row and Pantera at the verge of a musical landscape change (20:18), the Dwarfs taking a break around that time, going to California and his band Laidlaw (27:08).(35:22) The Killer Dwarfs’ Discography is an impressive one. We talked about the catalogue, and some of the inside baseball on it.We had a lot more to cover, but we are ending this episode here. Be back next week for the second half of our conversation.

Alf “Alfie” Catolico has been creating musical soundscapes and played and performed in some of the most seminal Winnipeg bands of all time. Just who is Alf? We dig into his beginnings, starting with the Chocolate Bunnies From Hell (2:37), Dirtbeak (4:36), Buttermilk 5 (also known as Wukepopo) (5:52), Transistor Sound & Lighting (6:41), The Rowdymen (9:29), and how this all blended into the band, Volume (10:10). (13:52) SeanGeek’s first view of Volume was a show that was plastered around town with the subtitle of the Amazing Spider-Band at Ozzie’s/The Zoo. Alfie fills us in on that show and what happened after this show, in terms of marketing, band plan and everything that revolved around the band at this time. (19:28) There is also the story of how the band flew out The band met up with Ray Ellis, original composer on the old Spider-Man cartoon.(24:33) We talk about why Winnipeg has the best music in all of the world, his work with Janine Gobeille, (34:24) playing at the Planetarium, (35:20) the unreleased album, (37:52) and how Volume gained Matt Budoloski (formerly of Leaderhouse, Vanderveen, Blackout City Kids).(46:04) Alfie still sports a large degree of Winnipeg pride. He is still a Jets fame, still loves the city, misses the Zoo, and wants to come back. (52:42) We talk Witchpolice Radio and (55:28) 12/21 and Casati.

We welcome Tony the Brick from the band Restrayned to the show. What a blast, what a professional, and what an amazing guest. Thanks, Tony!(6:38) We break into Tony’s musical journey from his earliest band and starting Restrayned. Just how were these albums put together, from writing and recording, and just how special a band Restrayned is. (33:06) The Shout It Out Loudcast may call him curmudgeon, but we call him the Brick. How did Tom and Zeus and their endless ribbing of Tony get under SeanGeek’s skin and make him a fan.(35:06) Tony talks all the Kiss Kruise. Tony attended along with the alum over at Shout It Loudcast and the great Pooni brothers and he has some stories to tell. (45:59) We talk team Ace and when Ace let Tony down and when SeanGeek was propped up. (50:03) Brent Fitz is a Canadian treasure and proved his worth yet again during the Kruise. And just what great Canadian bands did the show push onto Tony. (55:00) And how great is Brian Adams? Tony will tell you. (55:52) How elusive was Kiss on the cruise and just how great was Queensryche? (58:04) We talk The Charismatic Voice on YouTube and Helloween. (1:04:32) And we finish the show with: Would Tony ever play with Don Dokken?You can hear Restrayned on your favorite music streaming service but if you really want to support them, throw some shekels the band’s way over at their store: https://restrayned.bigcartel.com/#music #restrayned #kisskruise #bryanadams #kiss #queensryche #charismaticvoice #helloween #dokken

(0:44) Crazy weather patterns have hit British Columbia as we were recording. We talk about the disaster and it’s impact. (2:29) Do you remember BMX and 10-Speeds? We sure do and offer our own stories from back in the day.(6:38) Alf Catalico, guitar slinger from Volume, Dirtbeak and the Chocolate Bunnies from Hell will be coming up on a future episode. (9:04) Just how interesting and humorous is yogurt… or is that yoghurt, or maybe yogourt. You think you know yog… well however you spell it. We didn’t either. So we muddle through it’s history, the process of making it. Yes, and learn a whole bunch of new words we apparently cannot pronounce. And this is why two New Brunswickers should never be used to explain things. Can you say Fecundity? We sure can’t. (20:49) Howard Campbell just released his debut novel Talented. Just how hard was it to get this novel into Sean’s hands? Let us tell the tale of the corporate book chain that does not support authors and how a real bookstore chain, McNally Robinson does.(32:53) We discuss comic book scripts a la Alan Moore, which comics to read in the can, the alternatives to 7-11, (42:12) the show’s new logo, the latest snowfall, and winter driving. Oh yeah, and Todd goes on a rant about politicians using our tax dollars.You can buy Talented by Howard Campbell at McNally Robinsonhttps://www.mcnallyrobinson.com/9780578931449/howard-campbell/talented#floods #britishcolumbia #volume #yogurt #yogourt #yoghurt #fecundity #talented #mcnallyrobinson #indieauthor #comics #snow #winter #taxdollarsWebsite: www.seanmcginity.ca@seangeekpodcast on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook@toddgeek on Twitter@fastfretfingers on Instagram@ToddGeeks Tech Talk on Facebook @mbpodfest@captivatefm
