Rik told me earlier this year that he had exhausted his list of Christmas songs that make his skin vibrate.

Did Supertramp and the Freemasons try to warn us about the September 11 attacks with clues hidden in their Breakfast in America album cover, 22 years earlier? Did David Bowie reference Kanye West's rise to fame with Ziggy Stardust and Blackstar? Did Elvis fake his own death in order to hide from the mob?

The second half of my chat with the lovely Erica Ehm is now live, complete with the songs that make her skin vibrate (and that John 'JD' Roberts cliffhanger conclusion). Erica's playlist was compiled as a retrospective of her life thus far, documenting childhood memories, her time at MuchMusic and the artists she befriended, motherhood and her connection to her mother, and driving Bono and the rest of U2 around Toronto in her mom's car. Erica also shares the silly reason why she was never permitted to interview U2 as a MuchMusic VJ. Enjoy! 2020-08-1029 minNo Sleep 'til Sudbury with Brent JensenNSTS Episode 169 - Erica Ehm Part IIt's a wonderful thing when you find out someone you've admired as a younger person is actually worthy of that admiration. And Erica Ehm certainly is. Following her stint as an original MuchMusic VJ, Erica went on to write and produce Juno-winning songs, publish books, establish two successful companies, launch a speaking career, and more. In part one of our chat this week, Erica takes me through the journey that led to her MuchMusic career and beyond, with a sharp focus on the details of her 1994 Seattle interview with Kurt Cobain, one of the last he would e...2020-08-0330 minNo Sleep 'til Sudbury with Brent JensenNSTS Episode 168 - What Happened to Nirvana's Kurt Cobain?This week on NSTS we examine the events leading up to the unfortunate death of Nirvana singer and guitarist Kurt Cobain, considered by many to be the primary architect of a musical movement that changed the face of music in the early nineties. Despite Cobain's death being ruled a suicide, there have been plenty of assertions that he may not have died by his own hand. A number of peculiar and inexplicable events have given rise to conspiracy theories that Cobain was killed, all of which are laid out for consideration on this week's show. 2020-07-2720 minNo Sleep 'til Sudbury with Brent JensenNSTS Episode 167 - Spoons Frontman Gordon DeppeWhen music fans share the songs that really mean something to them and the reasons why, they're sharing a part of themselves in doing so. And Spoons singer Gordon Deppe truly does that with us this week on No Sleep 'til Sudbury. He graciously provides the backstories for the songs that have made his skin vibrate over the course of his life, and we go pretty deep in reinforcing the idea that music provides a significant connective power. Talking with Gord about these songs was like talking to an old friend, and I appreciated the level of s...2020-07-2034 minNo Sleep 'til Sudbury with Brent JensenNSTS Episode 166 - Ex-Lowest of the Low Guitarist Stephen StanleyMy pal Stephen Stanley just released an incredible live record, and he joins me to talk about it this week on NSTS.

Kim is easily one of Canada's most accomplished musicians, from his days leading Max Webster through an illustrious, hit-laden solo career. The coolest thing about Kim is that in talking with him, you'd never know it.

This week we look at another band that formed a few months earlier in the same year - Motley Crue. Motley Crue's early years are full of wildly unbelievable events - fatal car crashes, overdoses, jail sentences, drug and alcohol debauchery, and even a conspiracy theory when you consider the mysterious tale of Matthew Trippe, who claimed he stood in for injured Crue bassist Nikki Sixx during the Shout At The Devil and Theatre of Pain periods. And in this episode, we cover it all. 2020-06-2924 minNo Sleep 'til Sudbury with Brent JensenNSTS Episode 163 - The Origins of MetallicaAs mentioned in earlier episodes, some significant musical events took place in the year 1981. One of those events was the formation of Metallica. The band went on to achieve all kinds of ridiculous levels of success, but when I held their first album in my hands while I decided whether or not to buy it in 1983, I could have never, ever imagined. This week it's my pleasure to talk in detail about the beginnings of Metallica, a band that I absolutely worshipped as a kid - the reason why drummer Lars Ulrich's parents brought him to California...2020-06-2222 minNo Sleep 'til Sudbury with Brent JensenNSTS Episode 162 - Spoons Bassist Sandy HorneThis week it was my privilege to host Spoons bassist Sandy Horne on the show.

This week on NSTS we look at the leadup to the Moving Pictures album, how it came together. and all of the amazing intricacies that went into it - including the physical impacts Tom Sawyer's drum tracks had on Neil Peart, who the people are on the album cover, and what the triple entendre (not just double) cover artwork really means and who...2020-05-1921 minNo Sleep 'til Sudbury with Brent JensenNSTS Episode 157 - Ozzy, Blondie, and MTVSo much great stuff happened at the beginning of the 80s that I just had to continue going through it this week on NSTS. In 1981 MTV changed the musical landscape forever, Blondie helped to bring rap into the mainstream spotlight with Rapture, and Ozzy bit the heads off of two doves in a meeting with record executives, kicking off a long list of misdeeds that would include biting the head off of a bat, snorting ants, urinating on the Alamo, and so much more. And it's all right here on this week's show, check it out. 2020-05-1118 minNo Sleep 'til Sudbury with Brent JensenNSTS Episode 156 - Losing John, Bon, and Bonzo in 1980John, Bon, and Bonzo: we lost three rock icons in the year 1980. Former Beatle John Lennon, AC/DC singer Bon Scott, and Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham all departed in the same year. This week on NSTS we continue our look at 1980, focusing on these three figures - shedding light on a new theory of how Scott may have really died, the bizarre backstory of Lennon killer Mark David Chapman, and why Bonzo's headmaster said he would either be a garbage man or a millionaire. 2020-05-0422 minNo Sleep 'til Sudbury with Brent JensenNSTS Episode 155 - Joy Division, David Bowie, and the WalkmanThe 80s marked a time when music and commerce would become indelibly intertwined - record companies did away with old artist development models in favour of capitalizing on a growing new talent pool. And with MTV now providing a visual aspect to accompany a song, music would rely on image like never before. This week on NSTS we look at the bigger, brighter, and money-driven music of the 1980s, starting right at the beginning - in 1980. The creation and impact of the Sony Walkman, who The Rolling Stones song Angie was really about, the tragic death of...2020-04-2720 minNo Sleep 'til Sudbury with Brent JensenNSTS Episode 154 - Blood Sweat & Tears singer David Clayton ThomasLegendary Blood Sweat & Tears frontman and Grammy winner David Clayton Thomas joins me from his home this week to chat about his new record Say Somethin'.

They were joined by a select number of other acts at Altamont Speedway in California and the concert become a festival, fashioned after Woodstock. It would be anything but. Hells Angels acted as security, and Altamont would be remembered not for peace and love, but instead for destruction, murder, and 'the end of innocence'. And a subsequent assassination attempt of Mick Jagger in New York. 2020-04-1416 minNo Sleep 'til Sudbury with Brent JensenNSTS Episode 152 - The Peace & Love of WoodstockA lot of important things happened in 1969, and one of those things was the Woodstock music festival. This week on NSTS we take a close look at Woodstock's three days of 'peace and love' - the chaos it faced in hosting more than four hundred thousand people, the artists that showed up (along with the ones that didn't), and how it came to be known as a pivotal moment in defining a countercultural generation. 2020-04-0618 minNo Sleep 'til Sudbury with Brent JensenNSTS Episode 151 - Goodbye Beatles, Hello Led Zeppelin1969 was a crazy year. Led Zeppelin scared the hell out of people with their heavy rock debut(s), and Charles Manson scared people in a much different way. And The Beatles broke up, which may have scared one or two people. Join me as I examine the above in detail, including Zeppelin's tendencies to 'borrow' from old blues artists, Manson's bizarre relationship with Beach Boys drummer Dennis Wilson, and the shocking way in which Beatles classic Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da was actually written. 2020-03-3023 minNo Sleep 'til Sudbury with Brent JensenNSTS Episode 150 - NSTS 150: Rik Emmett, Jay Jay French, The Black Crowes, and moreThere have been times when I wasn't sure we would hit this milestone.

This guy can. Legendary concert promoter Gary Topp is my guest this week on NSTS. Topp and his business partner Gary Cormier would come to be known as The Garys, a concert promotion colossus that introduced Toronto to Punk and New Wave, having brought bands like The Police, MC5, Talking Heads, and The Ramones to the city for the first time. They were also responsible for the riot that was The Last Pogo, but I'll let Gary tell that story.

However, the scene was still very much in its infancy - hard rock and heavy metal were still the most dominant version of rock. So this week, in addition to talking about U2, Garth Brooks, and Lollapalooza, we look at the two most powerful heavy rock bands of 1991 - Guns N' Roses and Metallica. Axl Rose made history doing something no artist had ever done before with the Illusion records, and the recording of Metallica's Black Album was so intense that three of the four...2020-02-1024 minNo Sleep 'til Sudbury with Brent JensenNSTS Episode 143 - 1991: Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and the Rise of GrungeI'm pretty stoked about this week's episode, which focuses on the rise of the Grunge movement of 1991 - the stories behind how Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and other acts came to found this musical movement. The most interesting aspect of what people understood to be 'grunge' is that many of the bands thought to represent the genre, including Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots, and Alice In Chains, really weren't grunge at all. So what were they really? And what was really responsible for the eradication of hair bands in 1991? Hint: it wasn't grunge... 2020-02-0322 minNo Sleep 'til Sudbury with Brent JensenNSTS Episode 142 - Storm Force Guitarist Greg FraserGuitarist and friend of the show Greg Fraser calls in to NSTS this week.
