Sinopsis

You know those songs, those really special ones? The ones that make your skin vibrate when you hear them? They may make you feel like you can throw a Dodge Dakota the length of a football field, or they may bring you to tears every time you hear them. Either way, those songs have your number. They have a certain power over you as a music fan. And we talk about those songs here.Music tells us who we are if we really listen, and No Sleep Til Sudbury turns up the volume nice and loud.

  • NSTS Episode 189 - Rik Emmett BONUS EPISODE Xmas 2020

    17/12/2020 Duración: 49min

    I had mentioned earlier that I left Rik's house after taping this year's NSTS Christmas special with almost four hours of material. After considering options, I decided to create THREE episodes, one more than the usual two we produce every year. So technically, we can consider this a bonus episode!    This is just all fun, fantastic content. Laughs, insights, analysis, and intimate acoustic performances from Rik, including Burt Bacharach's "Alfie" and a breakdown of Marcus King's "Goodbye Carolina", concluding with a composition of his own, "Cobalt Blue". A perfect close to the year; regularly scheduled NSTS shows resume in January 2021.  Merry Christmas everyone!    Emmett/Jensen Xmas 2020 playlist: Burt Bacharach - Alfie Marcus King - Goodbye Carolina Rik Emmett - Cobalt Blue    

  • NSTS Episode 188 - Christmas 2020 with Rik Emmett Part II

    14/12/2020 Duración: 44min

    Welcome back to No Sleep 'til Sudbury's 2020 Christmas special, live from legendary Triumph frontman Rik Emmett's home studio. In this episode, Rik continues to deconstruct the songs that make our skin vibrate, this week's picks being Lulu's "To Sir With Love", The Beatles' "And I Love Her", and "Planet Caravan" from Black Sabbath. Rik sings and plays them section by section, breaking them down with fascinating technical analysis and humour, insight, and some great stories. He and I have been doing the Christmas shows for a while now, but his enthusiasm still amazes me. Another incredible episode you don't want to miss.      Emmett/Jensen playlist: Lulu - To Sir With Love The Beatles - And I Love Her Black Sabbath - Planet Caravan  

  • NSTS Episode 187 - Christmas 2020 with Rik Emmett Part I

    07/12/2020 Duración: 01h17min

    I am SO excited to share this with you. Legendary Triumph guitarist Rik Emmett is back for his annual NSTS Christmas episodes, but in planning this year's content, we decided we would do something different... Rik told me earlier this year that he had exhausted his list of Christmas songs that make his skin vibrate. But, in keeping with the theme of that special warmth Christmas brings, he proposed an idea - that I offer five songs that make MY skin vibrate, and in turn he would bring five songs to match mine that make him feel a similar way. He also proposed to do two things - illustrate why these songs make us feel this way by demonstrating on his guitar how they're composed, and, outline the science behind how our brains process music. Crazy! Nobody works harder on their NSTS appearances than Uncle Rikky, and I can't begin to tell you how much I enjoyed working with him on this. You really do not want to miss these shows, trust me.                The Emmett/Jensen Christmas 2020 playlist (Episode I): Stere

  • NSTS Episode 186 - Stephen Stanley Live at Steam Whistle

    30/11/2020 Duración: 43min

    What better way to wrap up the Steam Whistle live on location sessions than with my dear pal, the incredibly gifted Stephen Stanley? In this finale episode, Stephen and I cover a lot of ground - his new record, his new radio show, his new t-shirt...! In addition to sharing some fantastic skin-vibrating songs, Stephen also shares some great stories, like the time when he was introduced as "Steve and Stan Lee", his experiences in America with Lowest of the Low, R.E.M.'s Peter Buck playing his guitars during a Horseshoe gig, and how an owl both terrified him and inspired him to write a very special song which he performs live for us. Thanks and sincere apologies to Lisa Taillefer (in fact pronounced 'tie-fair') and everyone at Steam Whistle for making the live on location series an unforgettable experience. Stanley's playlist: The Flaming Lips - Mother Please Don't Be Sad David Bromberg - Mr. Bojangles Drive By Truckers - Thoughts & Prayers   The Weather Station - Robber Daniel Romano - (Gone Is) All But A Q

  • NSTS Episode 185 - Suzi Kory and Jeff Brown Perform Live

    23/11/2020 Duración: 29min

    Friend of the show and one-woman hurricane Suzi Kory drops in this week for episode four of the No Sleep 'til Sudbury Steam Whistle live on location series recorded at the Steam Whistle Roundhouse in downtown Toronto. As she always does, Suzi brings her unique high-energy blend of engagement, inspiration, and lots of laughs. And this time around as an added bonus, she's joined by guitarist Jeff Brown for her NSTS singing debut, performing her single "Outlaw".                Kory's playlist: Joan Baez - Diamonds and Rust Bellamy Brothers - Let Your Love Flow Little River Band - Cool Change Lynyrd Skynyrd - Freebird John Lennon - Woman

  • NSTS Episode 184 - Sandra Bouza Live

    16/11/2020 Duración: 30min

    Back by popular demand, R&B songstress Sandra Bouza returns to the show as my guest for part three of the NSTS Steam Whistle live on location series. Her first appearance on the show got a lot of attention, and now she's back with a new list of songs and another searing acoustic performance. Highlights of our chat include Janis Joplin, her very unique way of forgiving others, Blood on the Tracks, and Sandra's tendency to surreptitiously sneak extra songs into her NSTS playlist.            Bouza's playlist: Andreya Triana - Woman Jenny Lewis - Acid Tongue Jill Scott - You Don't Know Bob Dylan - Simple Twist of Fate Howling Wolf - Smokestack Lightning

  • NSTS Episode 183 - Sandy AND Gord from The Spoons

    09/11/2020 Duración: 32min

    Sandy Horne and Gord Deppe of The Spoons join me this week for Episode II of the No Sleep 'til Sudbury multi-show series live on location from the Steam Whistle Roundhouse facility in downtown Toronto. Sandy and Gord have both been on the show solo previously, so we thought it would be cool to have them come in together and play, and fool around with the idea of skin vibrating songs. They attempt to guess each others' selections, which results in a lot of laughs and also sheds light on some interesting Spoons trivia. And, they perform a great song from their new record called "Landing Lights". Really fun episode.  Deppe's playlist: Liam Gallagher - It Doesn't Have To Be That Way Post Malone - Circles The Weeknd - Feel It Coming Horne's playlist: Original Theme From Star Trek Styx - Light Up Beethoven - Moonlight Movement Number 14              

  • NSTS Episode 182 - NSTS Live From Steam Whistle Brewery

    02/11/2020 Duración: 22min

    Welcome to the special NSTS five-episode series created in partnership with the Steam Whistle Brewery, recorded live on location at their Roundhouse facility in downtown Toronto. This is a cool project I've been working on for a while, and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out.  Steam Whistle is a brand I've always liked, but it wasn't until I learned more about their deep affinity for music and the arts that I became a real fan. As such, the collaboration between Steam Whistle and No Sleep 'til Sudbury was a natural fit, and I was happy to put together a series of episodes with them that showcases some of my favourite talents and favourite people - Stephen Stanley, The Spoons, Sandra Bouza, and Suzi Kory. As an introduction to this series, I wanted to speak with Steam Whistle VP and music fan Tim McLaughlin, who shares some history and some of the great things they've done for indie artists, as well as how Steam Whistle came to be known as The Cathedral of Beer. And trust me, if you're into music and

  • NSTS Episode 181 - Glass Tiger's Samuel Reid

    26/10/2020 Duración: 25min

    This coming Friday, October 30, Glass Tiger will be doing something they've been waiting to do for more than three decades. And in what I believe is a global exclusive(!), Glass Tiger keyboard player Samuel Reid is on No Sleep 'til Sudbury this week to talk about it.  I don't want to ruin the surprise, and if I list the songs Sam brought in, I'd be giving it away. So what are you waiting for? Press play already!!!         

  • NSTS Episode 180 - R&B Singer Sandra Bouza

    19/10/2020 Duración: 40min

    If you're a regular No Sleep 'til Sudbury listener, you know that I love hosting up-and-coming artists whom I think are special. And this week, I welcome a very special talent - R&B singer Sandra Bouza.  There's a story behind this episode - one that didn't start out so well, but now has a happy ending. This episode was originally recorded live at The Spoke Club on Friday, December 13, 2019, but for unknown reasons there were technical issues with the file that rendered it unusable (the Friday the 13th thing freaks me out a bit). Recently, I was finally able to recreate a copy of the episode, and it sounds great - particularly Sandra's incredible voice. My biggest disappointment initially was that Sandra did something special for me during our chat, a totally spur-of-the-moment gesture that was potentially lost forever - but thankfully, it's been reclaimed for the whole world to hear. Check it out!               Bouza's playlist: Buffalo Springfield - For What's It's Worth Amy Winehouse - What Is It About

  • NSTS Episode 179 - A Tribute To Edward Van Halen

    12/10/2020 Duración: 16min

    As an Edward Van Halen fan from the age of twelve, it was necessary for me to commemorate him on NSTS upon learning of his passing last week. I feel fortunate to have a platform to offer this tribute.       Even though we didn't know each other at all, I felt like I'd lost an old friend. Without him knowing, we made some pretty incredible memories together, Eddie and I. We should be so lucky in our lives to have experienced something that thrills us with so much intensity. And for me, Ed did that. He'll be missed, but never truly gone.   

  • NSTS Episode 178 - MuchMusic VJ Christopher Ward Part II

    05/10/2020 Duración: 19min

    Hey! This is part two of my chat with author and MuchMusic veteran Christopher Ward. We finally get to the songs that make his skin vibrate, and hearing Christopher's take on them was a great experience for me. Highlights of our music geekfest discussion include Bob Dylan's revenge themes, the inspiration behind him writing Alannah Myles megahit "Black Velvet", who "Son of a Preacher Man" was initially written for, and the time he danced with The Temptations on Much. Hope you enjoy this as much as I did.       Ward's playlist: Aretha Franklin - Chain of Fools The Beach Boys - Till I Die Bob Dylan - Like a Rolling Stone Dusty Springfield - Son of a Preacher Man The Temptations - Just My Imagination  

  • NSTS Episode 177 - MuchMusic VJ Christopher Ward Part I

    28/09/2020 Duración: 31min

    Yes, original MuchMusic VJ, author, and songwriter Christopher Ward and I geeked out gleefully over little-known music facts this week on NSTS. And yes, as a result it's a two-episode series. Hey, we had a lot to talk about! Since his earliest days as part of the Second City troupe befriending an unknown Mike Myers, Christopher has had a lot of stories to tell. He's interviewed Paul and George of The Beatles, attended Live Aid, dined with Robert Plant, raised the ire of Elvis Costello, danced with The Temptations, and embraced the chaotic madness that was MuchMusic in its heyday. And in this first episode of two, we cover most of that and more. Enjoy!     

  • NSTS Episode 176 - Wide Mouth Mason Drummer Safwan Javed

    21/09/2020 Duración: 31min

    Remember Wide Mouth Mason? I never forgot 'em - always loved the band, and I listen to them regularly. In November they're celebrating the 20th anniversary of their album Stew by releasing a special version of it on vinyl, and WMM drummer Safwan Javed called into the show to talk to me about it (and of course, the songs that make his skin vibrate).  Safwan is an incredible musician and a great dude, and we have some good laughs during our chat. He's got some incredible stories from Wide Mouth Mason's days opening up for The Rolling Stones and ZZ Top - having dinner with Charlie Watts, being invited to Billy Gibbons' house for BBQ and homemade guacamole, and more. And what a playlist! Really enjoyed this chat with Safwan, check it out.  Javed's playlist: Marvin Gaye - Inner City Blues Black Uhuru - Anthem Kool Moe Dee - I Go To Work Tinariwen - Cler Achel Amjad Sabri and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan - Rang    

  • NSTS Episode 175 - Johnnie AND Derry from Honeymoon Suite

    14/09/2020 Duración: 34min

    It's here! The third and final part of the special No Sleep 'til Sudbury Honeymoon Suite series featuring HMS singer Johnnie Dee and guitarist Derry Grehan. It was a real pleasure to be a part of this very laid-back conversation between two legendary musicians who have been in the trenches together for decades.    In this series finale, Johnnie and Derry discuss the music that makes each other's skin vibrate - they chat about their playlists in terms of what they expected to see from each other, what surprised them, what they would add to their own lists, and which specific Honeymoon Suite songs give them goosebumps. Plus more great stories, including the time Ratt singer Stephen Pearcy visited their tour bus.     

  • NSTS Episode 174 - Honeymoon Suite Guitarist Derry Grehan

    07/09/2020 Duración: 18min

    Welcome back to No Sleep 'til Sudbury's three-part Honeymoon Suite musical discussion series. This week is part two, in which fleet-fingered HMS guitarist Derry Grehan joins me to chat about the new single and the songs that make his skin vibrate.  He immediately won me over with his playlist, particularly the Van Halen and Deep Purple picks. There's a song I wasn't expecting in his list but Derry shares the reasoning behind it, along with some other great stories and a great Ted Templeman impression to boot! Don't miss this.  Grehan's playlist: Grand Funk Railroad - Are You Ready Alice Cooper - Eighteen Van Halen - I'm The One Peter Gabriel - Don't Give Up Deep Purple - Burn          

  • NSTS Episode 173 - Honeymoon Suite Singer Johnnie Dee

    31/08/2020 Duración: 22min

    In the first of a three-part Honeymoon Suite series, HMS singer Johnnie Dee joins me this week on No Sleep 'til Sudbury to talk about the band's new single, "Find What You're Looking For", and also of course, the songs that make his skin vibrate.  For Johnnie, it's all about lyrics and melody in music. The songs he brings to the show reflect his love for sentimentality and purity in music, and in our discussion, I was reminded of how important it is for him to convey a genuine purity of his own through Honeymoon Suite's songs. Really enjoyable chat.  Dee's playlist: Chris Cornell - The Promise Bruce Springsteen - Stones Coldplay - The Scientist Sting - Fragile Ian Hunter - Standing in my Light  

  • NSTS Episode 172 - CHUM-FM Morning Show Producer Tom Jokic

    24/08/2020 Duración: 30min

    CHUM-FM Morning Show producer and Famous Lost Words cohost Tom Jokic is my guest this week on NSTS. Tom's been in the music industry for decades, and has some great stories from his time spent interviewing some of the biggest names in the business. His Famous Lost Words podcast, which he hosts alongside MuchMusic alumni Christopher Ward, unearths those archived interviews for our listening pleasure.   During our chat Tom shares some tales from his past, along with the songs that make his skin vibrate - not to mention the one that makes his skin crawl.           Jokic's playlist:  Bob Dylan - Like a Rolling Stone Leonard Cohen - Hallelujah Bruce Springsteen - My City of Ruins Talking Heads - Once in a Lifetime KISS - Detroit Rock City    

  • NSTS Episode 171 - Bizarre Musical Conspiracy Theories

    17/08/2020 Duración: 24min

    Following our examination of the conspiracy theory surrounding Kurt Cobain's death, this week on NSTS we look at other music-related conspiracy theories - ranging from the ridiculously far-fetched, through to the maybe kinda believable.  Did Supertramp and the Freemasons try to warn us about the September 11 attacks with clues hidden in their Breakfast in America album cover, 22 years earlier? Did David Bowie reference Kanye West's rise to fame with Ziggy Stardust and Blackstar? Did Elvis fake his own death in order to hide from the mob? All of these theories and more are addressed in detail this week on the No Sleep 'til Sudbury podcast. 

  • NSTS Episode 170 - Erica Ehm Part II

    10/08/2020 Duración: 29min

    It's here! The second half of my chat with the lovely Erica Ehm is now live, complete with the songs that make her skin vibrate (and that John 'JD' Roberts cliffhanger conclusion). Erica's playlist was compiled as a retrospective of her life thus far, documenting childhood memories, her time at MuchMusic and the artists she befriended, motherhood and her connection to her mother, and driving Bono and the rest of U2 around Toronto in her mom's car. Erica also shares the silly reason why she was never permitted to interview U2 as a MuchMusic VJ. Enjoy!             Ehm's playlist: CSNY - Helpless U2 - I Will Follow Emmylou Harris - Ballad of a Runaway Horse 54-40 - I Go Blind Cassandra Vasik - Which Face Should I Put On Tonight Jann Arden - Good Mother
