  • Small Talk – The Kooks (1 of 2)

    It’s hard to prepare for an interview with Hedley. So in this interview, we threw caution to the wind, got a 24 of beer and broadcast the interview live on our USTREAM (andPOP.tv). Eventually Jacob, Dave and @jordans_life ended up talking about hairy legs, their newest music video and more.

About Brett Caron

Poet? Warrior-king? Egomaniac? Do any of these titles really capture the essence of Brett Caron? Of course they do. I’m just a 22-year old student studying English in Toronto, Canada. I may not be the most balanced individual - a doctor once told me I suffer from narcissism (pfft - suffer?). But I grew up in some of the best years of recorded history - the Ninja Turtle years. The Batman years. The Sonic the Hedgehog years. Yes, I own a Sega Genesis, and no it doesn’t say bad mother****er on it. Although I'm sticking to the PS3 and the XBox 360 for the most part, so that's mostly what you can expect from my posts. I was the original bass player for the indie cover band Eclectic Revival - before they sold out, when it was all about the music, man. As a longtime fan of video games, music, and movies - as well as being relatively well-read - I have amassed a decent lexicon of pop-culture humour, which I hope to share with you as long as the good folks at andPOP don’t realize I’m a complete fraud. Cheers.
