## Resource

Graham is joined by Dan Mangan, singer/songwriting icon of the Canadian music scene, to discuss his 2015 album Club Meds . Dan candidly shares what happened when the record he took a big swing on didn't quite connect, and how hard lessons learned during that experience led him down a new path. They also talk about hanging with Paul McCartney, turning down a drum feature from Dave Grohl, and the mid 00's fascination with robots. Also, sausage breakfast wraps. 📻🎚️ Dan Mangan + Blacksmith “Vessel” (2:47) “Offred” (8:30) Dan Mangan “So Much For Everyone” (19:09) “Robots” (28:30) Bon Iver “Skinny Love” (34:27) Dan Mangan + Blacksmith “New Skies” (50:35) “Mouthpiece” (56:44) “Club Meds” (1:00:29) “Forgetery” (1:06:05) Dan Mangan “Race To The Bottom” (1:19:44) “Cold In The Summer” (1:24:30) Lay Low” (1:44:19) Wanna watch MLD on YouTube ?
