About this listen

 Introducing Stage Dives, the first podcast from the media nerds who run SMACK out of Toronto Canada and hosted by Aaron Chan. We’re going to be talking about everything we’ve been listening to and watching, but first and foremost we’re going to be talking about concerts. To make the most of the stampede of live music we’re about to witness from arena tours to 19+ shows to basement gigs, we’re going to giving you our best on the road today. We’ll be breaking down setlists, talking about fanbases, and having a larger conversation about the artist or work in question. We’ve also got episodes about movies, TV shows, sports, and of course music, plus everything else our team of pop culture-obsessives want to deliver to you. So like and subscribe if you’re a concert addict and want to be part of a conversation on all of the concerts hitting Toronto.SMACK Media Music News and Curation INC.

    It’s HAIM time on Stage Dives. Aaron is joined by Intermission’s Aisling Murphy and Michael Religa from Indie88 to review HAIM’s May 24 show at RBC Echo Beach. We broke down HAIM’s career, their One More HAIM tour & setlist, and Women in Music Pt III. We took a look at the transformational year of 2013 for both indie and pop and why it’s harder for bands to break into the mainstream.

  • The 25th Anniversary of OK Computer

    The 25th Anniversary of OK Computer
    May 20 2022

    Aaron, Jared, and special guest Blake Haarstad have some laughs as they break down Radiohead's seminal work for its 25th birthday sonically, thematically, and historically. They chatted about the idea of overhype, "male manipulator music," if the album is a concept record, if Radiohead count as progressive rock, and what makes them a canonical band. Then they spouted a ton of trivia and research. Listen until the end to hear two millennials argue with a Gen Z on why The Bends is a great album.
