Danny Michel On CBC

Thanks to a timely pointer from George Jones, I managed to catch Danny‘s appearance on the national radio program Sounds Like Canada this morning. This is same Danny oft-mentioned here before, and with whom I had my recent short bit of “life on tour”, which I still haven’t written up.

And, since I am still too busy to generate real content for you, I have packaged up the relevant clip, including a few minutes of interview with “CBC mascot” Jian Ghomeshi–where you can hear Danny speak heresy about David Bowie on national radio, and give a shoutout to HalifaxIt’s heresy because you aren’t allowed to say it, not because it isn’t true. What’s that line about Bowie claiming in the Seventies that he couldn’t write a good song without cocaine, and then going straight and proving it in the Eighties?–and a really low-fi “i.e. Internet streaming 32K”version of Midnight Train. Hey, it might inspire you to go buy the album.
