Video Series 1
🕑 Added 2025-06-30 21:49:52 +0000 UTCYesterday was the 15th anniversary of Wolf Parade's EXPO 86. Maria C (who some of you know), encouraged me to do a few videos breaking down a handful of songs on the album. I've been gunshy about front facing video on socials. Maybe from podcasting for 5 years? Maybe from associating that format with psychos bellowing at their cameras as they sit in a Tim Hortons parking lot in Peterborough. Maybe because I hate TikTok? Well, I was wrong. I love to do it. It's fun. People seem to enjoy watching it as well!
This month I'll be posting 11 videos about SOUND KAPITAL here. The first will be a longer overview of where the band was at when we wrote and recorded the album, then a song by song breakdown and finally a post mortem on that entire album cycle and those two years of my life. I'll get into GEAR, TOUR MISHAPS and FOOD. Lyrics too. The last week of July I'll host an AMA on the discord and we'll finally bite the bullet and watch Born In East LA. I'm excited.
If people like it, I'll work backwards through the catalog.
First post will be up this weekend...
See you in the comments β€οΈ

Hats off to Maria for giving the nudge, the Expo videos have been really fun to watch. Very much looking forward to the Sound Kapital breakdown! And overjoyed about more discord streams. Theyβve had a special place in my heart since Covid era horror movies π

Keep sharing, Dan! We love getting these inside peeks at your life and the songs you've written throughout it.

Thank you Maria for such a great idea! I think I replayed Dans videos a dozen times like the lil stalker I am. Kidding! I have such an innocent crush on you Dan. Mainly because your music is such a big part of my life. β€οΈ I canβt wait to learn more backstories. Especially Sound Kapital!! π
