    Great interview by Tom Power and Ezra's music and replies to the interview questions are nuanced and intelligent. Great music.

      Tom Power leads a segment called 'Q' - it is produced by CBC, which is publicly funded like NPR or BBC. The notoriety of the institution I am sure plays a part in the talent Tom is able to interview, although there is more merit in Tom himself! He is an incredible interviewer which many of his guests remark. I am sure any artist doing the 'press circuit' would be honoured to sit down with Tom when they are touring Canada.

      I was an enormous fan for a decade but I genuinely don't feel anything when I listen to their newer stuff now, wish I did but I just don't? Always went out to see them in Toronto when they came up, didn't go this year. Ice Cream Piano is the only song that kind of sparked something for me, funny that it happened to be another song vaguely based on an old tweet of his. Took me a minute to realize.
      VW is definitely an Ezra-centric thing now but Rostam's solo stuff is boring to me tbh so idk why everyone keeps saying he was the magic touch. All his solo songs are pretty indistinguishable to me. Either way I defended the 4th album when a lot of people were viciously trashing it even though I didn't feel strongly about it either way but I think I'm just done. I can't really go back now. For all the talk about "positivity" Ezra seems kind of dead behind the eyes, he really doesn't have the same twinkle in his eye. The vibes are just off.

    It's really too bad about his singing. Never really found his voice.
