“I Mother Earth: Back When We Used to be Alright” The second episode of The Great Canadian Mixtape is all about the Masters of the Groove Bridge - I Mother Earth! Two Albums with Edwin, Two with Brian Byrne – where do your loyalties lie?

Join me as we uncover the power of the band t-shirt, process the grief of losing our favorite band, make several unnecessary Peter Gabriel references, and revisit one of the most talented and creative bands in Canadian History: I Mother Earth.

Does extensive touring take a toll? Who is the primary creative force in I Mother Earth? What is your take on the Brian Byrne Albums? Edwin’s solo career? Was Edwin and the Pressure an Album or a Band? What was your first band T-shirt?

This episode includes: Metalcore Breakdowns, the host setting himself up to get assassinated by music nerds, an Air Supply reference, the phrase “I’ll still toss the occasional flaming bag of crap”, drops from Fubar, a fake Yeti promo, the word “ennui” (sorry about that), and the Zellers in Collingwood Ontario.

This podcast is a love letter to that moment in Canadian music — a chance to reflect, reconnect, and remember the greatest time in Canadian music.
