Jason welcomes songwriter & musician Daniel Powter for a chinwag about the mysteries of remote Vernon, British Columbia, skipping class to play piano, how Jason didn't launch Daniel's musical career, smashed violins, Prince's Lovesexy tour, not impressing your mum, not knowing who's the prime minister of Canada, and Nite Magic anti-action. Music by Daniel, with an assist from savage hunk DJ Max in Tokyo. Thanks to Wayne Emde for the artwork & photography & to handsome Joe Emde for help with the intro.
