Picking up on Lana Gay’s most hated words, I’m about to tell you one of my faves: fusion. I don’t so much like saying it as I love what it means: the merging of different elements into a union.
This brings us interesting music, food and as just maybe: a fascinating television opportunity.
So as a fan of both reality shows and Canadian indie music, I’m here to suggest we pitch CBC some ideas. You like Mantracker? How about Bandtracker? First episode: setting Broken Social Scene loose in Algonquin Provincial Park and see who’s the real star?
Everyone loves a good food show: Fast Food from Slow and Smelly Band Vans?
And what about The Real Housewives (Husbands) of Montreal Indie Rock Stars?
Let me know your thoughts, and I’ll see if Kirstine Stewart, the newly appointed Executive Vice-President for English Services at CBC might consider our ideas.
