THE END OF THIS SONG IS THE BEGINNING OF ANOTHER…EPISODE 6: A STAGGERING WORK OF HEARTBREAKING GENIUS NOW UP! THE FINAL PODCAST AS THE FEST STARTS…

Colin Newman, Sled Island guest curator, and his Githead bandmate and wife, Malka Spiegel, join us on the final episode of the Sled Island podcast for 2009.  It’s been a life-changing experience working with Colin these past few months, and even more of an honour to hear him talk about his experiences in Calgary.  We talk about how minor observations about the festival turned into a curator position, how the fucking ridiculous fucking press about fucking posters with the words ‘Holy Fuck’ on them are fucking ridiculous, the genius of local bands like Women and Sub-linguals, and the power of confusion.

We’d like to thank our tireless workhorse of a producer, Angela Seto, who is responsible for all of this happening.  CJSW have treated us all great-like this year, and so kudos to them as well!

As Sled Island moves into weekend mode, we really just want to thank you all so much for supporting the festival and for taking advantage of your wristbands—it seriously means the world to us!
