This will be her first interview before she hits the stage in Toronto! Be sure to check out this interview and stick around for... Filmmaker and producer Dave Cool who joins us in My Living Room to talk about his independant movie, What Is Indie? At a time when independent artists in the music industry have more power and control over their careers than ever before, "What is INDIE?" tries to determine just what it really means to be 'indie'. The film features interviews with indie music experts including Derek Sivers (CD Baby), Panos Panay (Sonicbids), and Suzanne Glass (Indie-Music.com), as well as with 20 artists including Ember Swift, Athena Reich, and Paul Cargnello. In defining what it means to be ’indie’, as well as looking at the changing landscape in the music industry, the film ends up being a rallying cry for indie artists, and has been hailed as ‘inspiring’ and ‘empowering’ by artists worldwide. Without any prior background in film (except for watching Super-Size Me "way too many times") and funded entirely with credit cards, Montreal director Dave Cool has taken the film from a small do-it-yourself project and turned it into an indie success story in its own right that continues to turn heads in the music and film industries, even catching the attention of CNN.com, Newsweek Magazine and Canada's National Film Board. Make sure you tune in to listen to what Dave has to say - it is going to be one hell of an interview! ____________________________________________________________ _____Thursday October 4th: Jun Buddahfly rejoins us live on the show to update us on his current musical happenings!
