Your Worst Song... with Alex Southey

Ep. 50 - Alex Southey's Worst Song: Anxiety and Community

Your Worst Song... with Alex Southey

Show Notes

We made it to 50! Nuts. As a fun anniversary/marker thing, Jess Roveda thought it would be fun to have me be a guest some time. We landed on episode 50 and so here it is. I was an open book for Jess and she ended up kind of getting my autobiography out of me. We do talk about some trigger warning material such as mental health/break downs and binge drinking, so keep that in mind if you choose to listen. Overall though, it was a very sunny anniversary episode thanks to Jess's sunny demeanour and inviting work as an interviewer. I don't know if anyone reads these things but, ironically, this is even more of a snapshot in time than I realised at the time of recording (late December) because I'm drinking again as of this release date (mid Feb). I didn't drink from Oct 15 to... Feb 1? Something like that. I felt enough time had passed I could keep drinking just to social occasions, and to few drinks. I felt like I still wanted to relate to people in that specific way for a while longer, for better or worse. So far, so good. Anyway, this is really about music. Enjoy.

On this (super early) new Monday episode we have the great Sunshine Express! This was a chaos in the best way. We've got multiple members, surprise members, people who didn't know this was a podcast, "characters", and more. A really fantastic, creative group of people. I don't know what I can say other than check them out at Collabfest down in the Niagara region and stream their music! They deserve your support. Enjoy!

On this new Monday episode we have the great Sydney Riley! This was a thrill of a conversation -- lots of laughs -- but more importantly lots of insights into smaller music scenes such as the ones existing in Collingwood, Wasaga, and Barrie. Collingwood, in particular, is notable because of (Sydney says) the local folks' appreciation for buskers. Enjoy!

I chat with Miles about touring and playing live from such a young age, the influence of musician parents, the process of putting out one's own music, and wild green rooms. Enjoy!
