Let Lisa Loeb – renowned children’s singer and voice of mid-90s ennui – make self-isolation a bit more fun.
Joining thousands of artists across the gloeb, Lisa Loeb’s helping people hunkered in their homes #stayhometogether with a living room concert streamed on her Youtube Channel at 11 a.m. PT.
In the meantime, here’s a version of “Stay” Loeb recorded in her living room earlier today.
And here’s a playlist of Loeb’s delightful children’s music:
Thanks to Coronavirus we’re all in self-isolation, and so begins a mad scramble for content. And since all our favourite TV shows, web series and podcasts are ALSO on lockdown, now is a good time to dig deep. Here then – before the torrent of content that will follow – is a very brief history of MuchMusic’s Intimate & Interactive.
MuchMusic Intimate & Interactive started in 1991 as an ongoing series of televised live concerts held in MUCH’s tiny Toronto studio. Artists were surrounded by die-hard fans who got to ask them any old question on their minds between songs.
Watch Cancon’s heyday unfold with Barenaked Ladies, the Tea Party, or the Tragically Hip; relive the splendour and majesty of alt-rock with full concerts from Foo Fighters or No Doubt; watch pop icons like the Spice Girls and the Backstreet Boys perform in a place the size of a Starbucks. Now begins the content dump. Keep safe guys.
Not ONLY did some faithful Moffat fan (Moffat Moppet?) split the whole performance into TEN PARTS, but they also compiled all of the post-performance off-air content.

I wasn’t a hockey fan in 1995, so why did I ask my parents for a Bill Barilko Maple Leafs jersey for my birthday? I’ve been digesting the answer to that, and my greater relationship with their music since they announced Gord Downie’s terminal cancer diagnosis. Nobody would outright declare that the Hip were solely responsible for their understanding of Canadian geography, history or politics. Likewise, no one would say the Hip were the only ones exposing them to other important Canadian artists. But the Hip were the only ones who brought all of that into one package you could digest at 12, 16, 20 and 40. They grew up while I did. They learned life lessons while I did. They were kindred spirits. They were ours.
As a body of work, but also as a cultural experience, the Tragically Hip represent a series of life lessons that the passage of time, nor the agony of their loss cannot erode.
Columbus GA’s Tivory Geddie’s influences are clear: Southern Hip Hop legends UGK (in particular Pimp C), and the storytelling of Kendrick Lamar. That story? A man so driven to find his way in Atlanta’s scene, he lived out of his car and on the streets, “sold cars, drugs, CDs, blood and worked 9 to 5 to make this dream a reality”. “Want You” may not be his latest, but it’s one of the best examples of just how pro Geddie’s style is. It also features newly-minted R&B superstar Bryson Tiller.
