BURN OUT #22: FT. MATTHEW PROGRESS

BURN OUT #21: FT. KRIS HARPER
"We're all out here trying to act like individuals [but] there is something about the individual that takes everything away from the community. We have to be aware of that." — Kris Harper Meet Kris Harper of nêhiyawak, the excellent Polaris Prize-shortlisted band from amiscwaciy (Edmonton,...

BURN OUT #20: FT. SARAH TAI BLACK
"People talk a lot about the political potential of film, but they don't talk about the harmful effects and what happens when that image and that sound reaches you in the audience." — Sarah-Tai Black Back at it with writer and film programmer Sarah-Tai Black, the brains and generous spirit behind...

Bonus: Burn Out Is A Dream State

BURN OUT #019: FT. VIVEK SHRAYA
"So much of my work, especially as I move forward, has been thinking about lateral violence or how we buy into white supremacy in the ways that we don't know how to support each other." — Vivek Shraya Season finale chat with Vivek Shraya, a writer and multi-disciplinary artist from Edmonton who...

BURN OUT #018: FT. HALEY MLOTEK
"Any type of art, you sort of have to lock yourself up — just you and your brain — which can be scary. I do see the labor organizing and the wave of unions as a way for people to fight that. To be like, 'No, I'm not in this alone, it's not just me.' Giving up this idea that if you pull yourself…

BURN OUT #017: FT. BACKXWASH
"It's very different to be in such freedom. If I had released this music back home, I don't think anyone would play it. You have to keep it on the real real real down low for your own safety. You have to be careful because it can get real bad for you, because if you don't go to jail — someone is...
-
BURN OUT #016: FT. CASEY MQ
"I think I've realized that I'm a very committed person. I love music and in love of something it's not going to be perfect — because it can't be. Nothing can be just good. You have to have moments of it being frustrating, and like, 'Why isn't it giving me more? Or why isn't it giving me less? Or...
-
BURN OUT #015: FT. AUSTRA
"In music it's just 'easier' if you can also have, like, a modelling contract on the side — and that's the same with many other industries. Often, there's such a risk in investing in somebody that [labels] just need to check boxes... in order for [an artist] to be worthy of investment. I think if...
-
BURN OUT #014: FT. ADNAN KHAN
"With writers, especially on Twitter, you see such a desperate bid for cultural attention that books no longer have. You have all these sensitive, valuable thinkers, but there's not really a medium for them." — Adnan Khan If you didn't already know: Burn Out is now a bi-weekly podcast! There will...

BURN OUT #013: FT. ROSINA KAZI
"All the stuff you’re seeing now, people wearing their traditional outfits, using their language, using cultural rhythms — we did this in the 90s in *Toronto.* I finally feel like the industry is ready for us because so many of us were doing this for years." — Rosina Kazi Happy 2020 — thanks for...

BURN OUT #011: FT. COLD SPECKS
"I'm doing what I need to do and that's it. I never want to have another episode again. I need to be kind to myself. Get six to eight hours of sleep a night. Never do an all-nighter. Bodies and equipment in a van, driving 13 hours to the next city. Why would I do that again?" - Ladan Hussein I…

BURN OUT #008: FT. AKUA
"I felt so aware of how long it took me to finish my album.

BURN OUT #006: FT. JASMYN BURKE

BURN OUT #005: FT. JAHMAL PADMORE
"I thought it would be a miracle if I could get back to where I was as an artist." - Jahmal Padmore This episode was really hard to cut because Jahmal is a really good storyteller, and he's been grinding for a minute! We talked about almost all of it — from his early days in church, and playing…

BURN OUT #004: FT. L CON
"I'm thinking a lot, a lot, all the time about music and privilege. I'm teaching recording right now, but some of my students don't have a computer or a phone. There's a lot of privilege involved to make a record on your own." - Lisa Conway Lisa and I talk about her incredible 2018 album...
