Deaf Ears Podcast Episode 35: Outkast

DE35 [https://depodcast.files.wordpress.com/2014/01/de35.jpg?w=600]https://depodcast.files.wordpress.com/2014/01/de35.jpg Outkast = back! [http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1720165/outkast-coachella-reunion.jhtml] So before you dust off your copy of ATLiens and jet down to Coachella [http://2a56b976980e0793ddee-5cc5435fcbc367bb03f9a415e7067a97.r91.cf2.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/coachella-2014-poster.jpg], listen to Cam and Ryan conduct their own “Players’ Ball” in audio form. Light on gushing, this episode attempts to ID where Outkast falls in the annals of popular music and why their popularity has only swelled during their lengthy absence. A great primer for getting back in their southern headspace. https://depodcast.files.wordpress.com/2014/01/de35_outkast.mp3 [https://depodcast.files.wordpress.com/2014/01/de35_outkast.mp3] [http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/comments/depodcast.wordpress.com/418/]http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/gocomments/depodcast.wordpress.com/418/ [https://pixel.wp.com/b.gif?host=depodcast.wordpress.com&blog=14870798&post=418&subd=depodcast&ref=&feed=1]

The 2013 Polaris Prize shortlist [http://polarismusicprize.ca/article/648/polaris-music-prize-2013-short-list-is-here/] is yet another collection of talents and headscratchers and to help cut through the clutter, Cam and Ryan bring in dear, dear friend Dave Morris (Report on Business, www.a-void.ca [http://www.a-void.ca]) to breakdown contenders/pretenders and chime in on Canadian music 2013 and beyond. Over an hour of smarts and laffs!!

Deaf Ears Podcast Episode 33: Justin Timberlake

Justin Timberlake [https://depodcast.files.wordpress.com/2013/08/jt.jpg?w=600]https://depodcast.files.wordpress.com/2013/08/jt.jpg A modern day “song and dance man”, Justin Timberlake is perhaps 2013’s most broad-based entertainer in the music biz. Accordingly, Cam and Ryan both take the piss out of him AND give him “mad props”. Sometimes in the same sentence. It’s Deaf Ears 33!! Note: This episode also contains some wildly inaccurate info about Robin Thicke and speculates who’d win a four-way dance for world domination between JT, #Thicke, Usher and Chris “Bad News” Brown.

We don’t quite figure it out, but we do manage to segue into a lengthy discourse on the history of Citytv and MuchMusic. So there’s that.
