From February to May 2012 I interned on NBC's LATE NIGHT WITH JIMMY FALLON. Some people (including myself) find this hard to believe, so for any doubters out there, watch this video. Recognize that handsome face at 0:19 smiling and waving? If you squint hard enough, you might be able to see me on the couch!
Drive: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack | Mondo Records | Pink | /??? I already have one pressing of this, done by Invada Records in the UK. But Mondo promised a “deluxe” edition featuring custom artwork by Tyler Stout. So of course I’m a sucker a ponied up. The pressing was split between an unknown amount of copies on black and a smaller unknown amount of pink. The pink copies being randomly put into mailorder copies. Imagine how stoked I was to get home from tour this morning and open this baby up. Those center labels kick so much ass. I just love this movie and soundtrack. Definitely helped win me over onto the Gosling Team.
Oh, how I wish I was online when this went up on Mondo. Amazing packaging!
Here I am at Canadian Music Week talking about the importance of radio for Yangaroo DMDS with some fine Canadian indie talent.
Risky Business by Harlan Pepper (live on Studio A Sessions) Nominated for Best Studio Production at 2012 TARA Awards.
The Show
STUDIO A SESSIONS was an intimate concert series filmed at Ryerson University I produced in conjunction with my group We Have To Go Back Productions. The show embraced the raw connection between artists and their instruments, offering music fans the chance to watch some of Canada's finest musical talent showcase their original, honest songwriting.
The Episodes
1 - Julie Doiron with Darren Eedens
2 - Harlan Pepper with Donovan Woods
3 - Hooded Fang with Topanga (now called PUP)

STUDIO A SESSIONS helped raise $350 benefiting the Carlo Fidani Peel Ragional Cancer Centre.
In November 2009, Hamilton, ON's Arkells stopped by Ryerson's Rogers Communications Centre for an interview and acoustic performance on my radio show.
Here's a rare performance of "Heart of the City" off their debut album Jackson Square.
From 2010 - 2011, I hosted a radio show on SpiritLive called Lost Minutes with Max Libman and Eddie Majnemer.
From 2008 - 2009, the show was called The B-Side (Ha! Get it? B - like Bram!)
With Lost Minutes, I was able to play the music I loved and interview some of my favourite bands including Frank Turner, Fucked Up and Attack In Black. Without a doubt, the biggest highlight for me was having Arkells stop by for an interview and acoustic performance. Influenced by comedic podcasts and late-night punk shows I stayed up listening to as a kid, Lost Minutes provided a platform for me to talk about whatever I wanted while playing music I believed in.
Now, I present to you the BEST OF LOST MINUTES, which won the award for Best SpiritLive Show at the 2011 TARA Awards. Thank you to Ryerson University, RTA School of Media and FCAD for giving me the chance to host my own radio show like I wanted to do since I was a punk 12 year old missing out on some much needed sleep.
Your pal,
Bram
Julie Doiron performing "Tailor"
From Episode 1 of Studio A Sessions
During my last year at Ryerson, I produced an intimate concert series called Studio A Sessions. Here's a taste.
From Episode 1, this is Darren Eedens performing "Shadows".
Candy by The Men
I finally got around to listening to these guys. Admittedly, I missed all their shows at NXNE and even the couple I remember hearing about back in New York. There was just something about the name "The Men" that made me cringe (still does). Alas, Open Your Heart is great. It's like Husker Du and Fucked Up got in a boxing match and decided to hug at the end. I can't say no to that.
WHAT THE WHAAA?! MY HALF/BIRTHDAY'S SOON! BUY ME THIS!
In A Big City by Titus Andronicus With a title like that, I really wish I was still in New York when this song came out. Alas, I was fortunate enough to hear the band play it (and some other new jams) when they opened up for Archers Of Loaf at the Music Hall of Billyburg. Pretty excited to hear how the recorded version of "Food Fight" turned out; it even got the Loaf fans dancing! Anyways, turn it up and enjoy. Local Business comes out October 22 on XL.
Remember Spacemaker pencil cases? Made for great Crazy Bones storage too.
Time to start updating this site again. Summer's over and I didn't ride a roller coaster. So, here's to that.
Bushwick Blues by The Delta Spirit
(press Play now) Hello friends!
I realize it's been some time since a lot of you have heard something from me since my move to NYC. It's been about 3 weeks now and I still can't believe I'm saying that - yet, as each day goes on, I'm loving this city even more. Working 5 days a week from 10am - 7pm is not easy, but I'm doing my best to get settled in and enjoy life in New York with any free time I have. I know I said I'd be blogging about my adventures while I'm here. Sadly, I'm not really permitted to talk about what I do as a Music Intern at Late Night online. I really would love to share all of these 'unbelievable for a Canadian kid' moments with you. But alas, I signed a contract. I can tell you I got to drink Harry Connick's Jr.'s unopened Coca Cola with Cherry the morning after he was on the show! Pretty fancy, huh?
I'll do my best to try and find more things I'm allowed to share with you. Many of you have seen the picture on my Facebook Wall Timeline of me near Jimmy during a rehearsal (I wasn't on TV this time). Much of my day consists of hanging around the set and helping out when needed - evidently, standing in is part of the job when I'm not dealing with music related tasks. I'll do my best to try and get more of these shots to share with everyone. It was very flattering for me to see so many people interacting via the like/comment system about my internship. I've been working full-time for the last 3 weeks and have barely been able to rest. Seeing so many old friends (and new ones) being excited about my adventure inspires me to keep doing better. So, thanks for the good vibes and encouragement guys!
Best wishes to all you great Canadians back at home. I'm trying my best here! So far, things are good.
You've been good to me so far New York. Keep it up, eh?
Machines Part I and II by O'Brother
I'm excited to catch these guys Feb 18 at The Knitting Factory; one of my first shows in NY! Grab their new album "Garden Window" if you're looking for something heavy.
1 month, 1 month.
Let the countdown begin!
