Kreative Kontrol

Kyla Marlena is here to discuss Hold Time, her ambivalent feelings about growing up in Edmonton, what got her into music and art-making as a kid, studying cello and how the indie-rock string section explosion from earlier this century could be traced back to Nirvana, quiet/loud, heaven/hell, and other dualities that fascinate her, pondering time and existentialism, why her new record is framed by the ages “21” and “26,” bringing members of her Toronto community together to collaborate on this record, a nod to the Sega Dreamcast, upcoming shows, other future plans, and much more.THIS MONTH, EVERY COMPLETE KREATIVE KONTROL EPISODE IS ONLY ACCESSIBLE TO PATREON SUPPORTERS STARTING AT CERTAIN TIERS.

Ray Padgett returns to discuss Bob Dylan’s The Rolling Thunder Revue: The 1976 Live Recordings, his role as a respected Dylan scholar, exactly why we are receiving a 39 CD Dylan box set in 2026, comparing the two distinctive legs of the Rolling Thunder Revue Tour and why the 1976 edition has clearly gotten a bad rap, how Dylan’s personal life may have informed his mood and behaviour on this tour, why he surprised his bandmates and fans so much back then, the possible influence that Bruce Springsteen and punk had on Dylan, some of this set’s key and most memorable performances, why the set doesn’t include any footage from this well-documented tour, Ray’s Rolling Thunder ’76 Day by Day zine, other future plans, and much more.THIS MONTH, EVERY COMPLETE KREATIVE KONTROL EPISODE IS ONLY ACCESSIBLE TO PATREON SUPPORTERS STARTING AT $6/MONTH.
