The Bottlemen

Dan and Riley look into Spotify's new "own your ears" strategy, which - shock horror - doesn't involve paying artists any more. If anything, less! Also, we return to our investigation of the Canadian state's love affair with Ukrainian fascists, looking at the conferences, think tanks, and articles where it all began (this wave, anyway!) in 2014/15.

Rylan aka @neonwario joins Riley and Dan for a review of the local papers from our home towns.

Riley and Dan reflect on the contours of Canada's response to ongoing climate and ecological collapse happening in its West, and how through all its activities it is encouraging more of the same. Including sending $4m worth of gear strapped across 20 hot dog neck RCMP guys to a disaster area... primarily to make sure the pipelines get built!

Riley, Dan, and Junk Filter Pod's Jesse Hawken sit back and relax for a watch-through of David Cronenberg's fabulous VIDEODROME. We reflect on God Cronenberg's keen foresight into what media would become in the decades ahead.

Riley and Dan speak with political scientist of the environment, Dr. Jess Green all about Canada's COP26 plans, and why things like Carbon Markets suit the economic interests of a country that's just three oil companies in a trench coat.

UNLOCKED!

Caleb, Cameron, and Patrick return for a deep dive into the lives, biographies, names, and photos of the People's Party of Canada prospective parliamentary candidates. None of them have been seated in Ottawa, this coterie of multi-level-marketers, cops, and small business tyrants, live on in our hearts.

NOTE: Dan is very nearly done working on the album in the studio in New York, but because he's in the final stretch, this week we're unlocking a premium for the free feed instead of doing a free episode. Thank you for bearing with us, and normal service will resume this week!

In this preview, Nika Danilova aka Zola Jesus joins Dan and Riley to talk about live music, experimenting with alternative forms of ownership, and why "content creation" and "artist" are concepts that *really* don't go together if you're actually doing the work.

Dan and Riley look into the psychology behind the MLI and our addiction to war boosterism. Also, we look into how the Globe and Mail talks about labour issues and the "right to disconnect," while getting their wallet inspected by the heartland institute. Screw up your own damn country, American thinktankers!

Riley, Dan, and Will have watched another Canada-for-America action blockbuster... Steven Seagal's 2001 action classic, EXIT WOUNDS. They break the record for managing to include obvious Canadian landmarks and brands in nearly every shot of Seagal oafishly muttering and stumbling through his last big studio movie before decamping to Eastern Europe. It's a deranged joyride. Check it out on www.patreon.com/dabottlemen
