I'm taking the Breakfast Club to Welland, ON to meet with Daniel Romano ahead of his performances at Pop Montreal this week! We're heading to the Blue Star Restaurant to chat about You've Changed Records, the label he co-runs with Baby Eagle, and his work in Attack in Black, Daniel, Fred, & Julie, and as himself, the stylish and talented Daniel Romano. Dan's latest solo album is a folk-country beaut/screed against fascism in the arts (seriously!) called Workin' For the Music Man, and I have five copies of it to offer the first bloggers who correctly answer questions I pose about today's show. Listen to win! And just to listen. That will be fun on its own.
Are you a fan of Daniel Romano? Any plans to check him out live soon or pick up Workin' for the Music Man?
I have five copies of Workin' for the Music Man to give away to the first listeners who can correctly answer the following questions about today's show on the blog:
1. What instrument did Dan first play as a kid?
2. When Dan was a teenager, he played and attended a lot of hardcore punk shows in Welland. By his estimate, how many people might attend one of these shows on a given night?
3. Who is responsible for Dan's "Platinum Peter" showcase at Pop Montreal?
4. According to Dan, if Welland has "wild, weird fans" of a particular band, which band are these people so nuts for?
5. Which current NHL player did Dan go to high school with?
The answers to these questions will turn up on today's show. If you end up being the first person to post a winning answer on the blog, please e-mail vish_khanna [at] cbcradio3.com with "We're not doctors" in the subject line, and your blog moniker and shipping address in your message.
Ever eaten a particularly memorable breakfast in Welland? What makes it stand out?
