Ep. 40 - Dan Mangan's Worst Song: Mugging and Paul McCartney, Coffee with A Radiohead, and How Kids Change Perspective
Your Worst Song... with Alex SoutheyShow Notes
I have Dan Mangan! We chat about... everything: managing career envy, how kids change your perspective on life, the influence of a city vs. rural place (Vancouver specifically), LA, Paul McCartney, a mugging, Jimmy Kimmel, Father John Misty, Snoop Dogg, Feist, Aaron Goldestein, Radiohead, Kelowna, the Orpheum, UBC, Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, Snoop Dogg, and yes, Dan's worst song.
We alluded to enough other material and I had enough questions I couldn't ask in time... we could always do a part two. I didn't ask about Sidedoor Access (linked below), scoring films, or his self-described "toughest year": 2015.
Also, obviously I screwed up spreading out asking the main four questions. What can I say? I didn't want structure to get in the way of a good conversation.

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!
