Sweet Static Grand Slam-Geoff Berner
Time for a brand new feauture for Sweet Static. Back a few years ago I used to do a 'zine called These Are Rotten Apples. The main feature was called "6 Questions With..." where I would ask six stupid/weird/unusual questions. The reason would be so that the artist would have something different to answer instead of the usual stuff. Also it's way easier to write down the answers to these types of questions since they are usually short and that's good especially when you're normally in a bar.
Anyway I have decided to bring back the idea but to modify it a bit. So now it will be known as the Sweet Static Grand Slam. Why the Grand Slam? Well I've shortened it to four questions and that was the only thing I could think of to do with the number four.
So last night I had the pleasure of seeing Geoff Berner and Wax Mannequin at the Phog Lounge here in Windsor. I met Geoff the last time he was in town and he's a great guy with a lot of great stories to tell.
He's been tourning his last album, The Whiskey Rabbi, for close to a couple of years now and in October is planning to start work on a new record, which is to be released on Jericho Beach Music. Right now he's in the middle of a tour across Canada to promote his new booklet, "How To Be An Accordion Player" before heading back over to Europe to tour with Kaizers Orchestra
So with that here is the first edition of the Sweet Static Grand Slam with Geoff Berner.
1-Who is your favorite Muppet?
2-What is your favorite band or artist that no one knows about?
3-The shot (alcohol) that you hate to do.
4-Name three songs you'd put on a mix tape for a significant other.
Here are a couple of recommended songs you can download from Geoff's website. There are a total of six songs you can download here.
Geoff Berner-"Clown and Bard"
Geoff Berner-"Lucky Goddamn Jew"
Also found the video for "Greetings To The New Brunette" on You Tube, so enjoy.
Lastly B(oot)log had a post with a live track from a show of his from January in Kingston.
