sometimes you wind up having a couple of conversations about Encore Records and Orange Monkey Records, and it feels like you’re home again.
such a sensation is conjured during episode 1146 of the Kreative Kontrol K-W Rules podcast, because Robert Dayton is here to discuss his book ‘Cold Glitter: The Untold Story of Canadian Glam,’ our favourite record stores and venues in the conjoined cities of Kitchener-Waterloo, the time Mike Wallace visited that area for a ‘60 Minutes’ story and called it “a suburb of Toronto,” what inspired Robert to write this book, some background about the subversive aspects of Canadian glam and how Bryan Adams figures into it, conservatism in Canadian cultural institutions, an anecdote about Gregg Turkington, Mike Love, and Charles Manson, waking up after sleeping on Goddo, future plans, and much more.
it was a pleasure to speak with Robert and ‘Cold Glitter’ is a must-read for music history fans, whether you’re Canadian or have designs on breaking Canada up to extract our resources or engage in treason. please read it and listen to us! thanks!
